Fool Night, Vol. 2

Fool Night, Vol. 2 by Kasumi Yasuda transports readers to a distant future where the sun no longer shines. In this world, Toshiro Kamiya has given up his body to undergo a sinister floral metamorphosis for a payday.

The earth of this bleak future is shrouded in thick clouds, and the absence of sunlight has led to withered plants and a scarcity of oxygen. To combat the threat of extinction, humankind has developed a technology to turn humans into plants, generating a small amount of oxygen in the process. This raises ethical and sustainability questions that Kamiya must grapple with as he faces a difficult decision — to save his family or himself.

Living in poverty and undergoing a slow transformation, Kamiya has only two brief years of humanity left following the transfloration procedure. The vine growing from his stomach forces him to re-evaluate his relationship with his mother and his role at Transflora Medical. Meanwhile, his childhood friend, Hourai, is embroiled in the investigation of a series of murders carried out by a spiriflor.
