Fool Night (Vol. 2) - Kasumi Yasuda

In the second volume of Fool Night, the story intensifies as Earth’s sunless, decaying society presses its citizens into strange new forms of existence. The controversial “plantification” procedure—transforming humans into photosynthetic beings—is no longer just a scientific marvel but a necessity for survival.

As protagonist Toshiro grows closer to those affected by the transformation and confronts the shadowy motives of the powers enforcing it, he begins questioning the ethics behind this unnatural adaptation. What does it truly mean to be human when your body ceases to belong to you?

Kasumi Yasuda’s bold visual style and sharp psychological writing continue to explore a world caught between progress and decay, beauty and despair.
