Viz Media is bringing another manga series to print as they’ve solicited for the first volume of Fool Night. The first volume is set for a June 18th, 2024 release priced at $14.99 with it listed as coming in at 224 pages.
The property comes from writer/artist Kasumi Yasuda which began serialization in 2020 in Big Comic Superior for Shogakukan. Known originally as the same name, it has seven volumes out in Japan so far and is listed as ongoing.
Plot Concept: The earth of the distant future is covered in thick clouds, and the sun no longer shines. Plants wither, and oxygen is thin. To fight extinction, humankind has developed a technology that turns humans into plants, providing a small amount of oxygen. Is this process sustainable? Is it ethical? Toshiro Kamiya must consider these questions as he’s faced with a difficult choice—save his family or save himself.
Kamiya is at the end of his rope. His mother is ill, and his job barely pays for her medication, much less food. With few options left, he considers the life-changing process of floromorphosis. Ready to give his body up for a payday, Kamiya is about to explore the limits of society’s waning humanity.
