==Summary==
Jungle Juice is a Korean webtoon written by Hyeong Eun and illustrated by JUDER for YLAB Comics. The story revolves around Suchan Jang, a college student formerly at the top of the social food chain, whose life falls after being forced to reveal a condition of his that he'd previously kept secret from the rest of the world- his giant insect wings.
Back in junior high, Suchan used a bug spray called "Power Killer" on a dragonfly, which instantly turned it to dust, causing him to Inhale it. The next morning, he discovered that he had sprouted a massive set of dragonfly wings on his back, which he would go on to spend years of his life trying to hide out of fear. 
Right when his life seems over, he meets Huijin Park, who invites him to Nest, a secret college town acting as a safe haven for people like him. Those who manage to graduate Nest as valedictorian are rewarded with "Cinderella", a compound that will turn them human again. Wishing to return to his old life, Suchan is forced to understand and utilize his insect abilities, in order to compete in a world where it's survival of the fittest, and strength is everything.
==Terminology==
Insect Human: The name for those who have been exposed to Power Killer and had their DNA fused with the bug they sprayed, manifesting certain traits from it as a result. This can range anywhere from a specific ability to most of the bug's entire body, with one's genetic compatibility being the determining factor. Despite the name "Insect" Human, this also refers to those fused with other arthropods, such as arachnids like spiders and scorpions, myriapods like centipedes and millipedes, or even crustaceans such as isopods.
* Insecta Complex: The term for the set of abilities wielded by Insect Humans, often just abbreviated to "Complex" for short. Name follows the same logic as Insect Human, and as such includes the abilities of other arthropods.
**Complex Runaway: A state that can occur in very rare cases of individuals whose genetic compatibility with insects leads to the limbic system in their brain being fused with their Complex. This can result in them being swallowed their Complex in life or death situations, gaining much greater power in order to survive, at the expense of their ability to reason and their humanity.
*Defense Mechanism: Defense Mechanisms are the way the human body reacts to threats, tapping into one's animal instincts to exert more force when the need arises. Insect Humans can harness far greater power this way, with their Defense Mechanisms allowing extended access to their Complex for more abilities.
*The Origin of Species: An ability specific to the Predators, whose Complexes evolved in order to survive the conditions of Breeder's farm. This allows them to manifest the traits of another insect within the same family, order, or potentially superorder as their own Complex through their shared origin. The name comes from Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of Species".
**Note that "Defense Mechanism" comes from LINE's official English translation, and is different from the literal translation of "태세" (Tae-se), which would be "Posture" or "Stance". However, since the explanation is very similar and it doesn't change much besides attack names, this is what's used here. The term "Runaway" is literally translated from "폭주" (Pog-ju), while the English translation uses the word "Rage" instead. As "Rage" is a misleading descriptor, and "Swallowed by Complex" is hard to fit in sentences, "Runaway" is what's used instead. Finally, while LINE's translation uses "The Origin of the Predator Species", the original Korean already states it as "The Origin of Species" in English text alongside the hangul. The latter is less wordy, and fits more with the title of the book, so that's what's used.
*Feeding: The act of consuming the flesh of another Insect Human. On top of being a drug-like experience, feeding causes one to become hyperaware of the smell of other Insect Humans. Repeated feedings make the individual stronger over time, as well as cause them to develop rock-solid skin even on their non-bug parts, called an "exoskeleton". The act of leveraging the desire for Insect Human meat in order to force individuals into essentially becoming obedient attack dogs is called "Feed-Training".
**It has been stated in-story that exoskeletons normally too tough to damage with force can be bypassed via cutting, burning, or twisting moves. As such, all cases of edged weaponry (raptorial forelimbs, stingers, serrated teeth, pincers, knuckle spikes, chainsaws, etc.) have separate values from one's physicals. Meanwhile, grappling and heat-based attacks grant limited Durability Negation.
==Power of the Verse==
Jungle Juice is a low power verse, with the weaker characters being Wall level, those in the middle being between Wall level+ and baseline Small Building level, while those near the top currently reach higher into Small Building level. Extremely powerful individuals and specific attacks can hit Building level, with there being a final move which reaches City Block level, but these cases are the exception.
With Insect Humans often possessing the relative speed and strength of the bugs they fused with, even slow and bulky individuals possess Superhuman speed, while those with weak physiques possess Peak Human lifting strength. Many are Subsonic to Subsonic+, with the faster characters being Transonic, the fastest characters Supersonic, and the fastest attacks hitting Supersonic+ speed. Strength typically runs around Class 1 to Class 5, with the stronger characters being Class 10 to Class 50, and the physically exceptional reaching Class 100 to Class K levels of force.
Complexes can also include the specific abilities of its respective insect or other kind of arthropod, and as such various characters have access to Hax such as Poison Manipulation, Adhesive Manipulation, Mind Control, Paralysis Inducement, Thread Manipulation, Explosion Manipulation, and many others.
