This is an interesting bit of sci-fi!! I really like the world building present in this volume. The take on a more "eco friendly" death, is a great story point in a society that is futuristic and also all too realistic at times. The stories behind the plants are interesting as well as the lives of the human cast. In some ways it's a little hard to describe without spoiling, but I encourage people to give this title a shot! If you like a "what makes a human?" story, this one is really good!

This was such a surprise. The concept of this manga is so cool! In a world where there is no light and trees, humans that are dying have seeds planted into them to become trees to give the world oxygen.
I really like the main character as well. He reminds me of a serious Denji, just doing his best to survive.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for the review.

This is a dark story! The world has been in a state of constant darkness for a century. All the plants have died out and the only way to renew oxygen is by using the bodies of dying individuals and turning them into plants. So cool and complex. I can't wait to read more!

I really loved this. I think the art and written word work together to create such an amazing story. I loved reading and and exploring the world that was created

I really loved this!
I haven't personally read a manga that I could say has a particularly similar plot to it, it seems so original, thought provoking and makes you question morality a little.
I really enjoyed the art style, rather than neat, pretty designs you usually get with attractive MC's, it's rough, sketchy almost, with detailed backgrounds and the flora in it is beautiful.
I likes that the story doesn't just focus on the MC's journey to becoming spiriflora, and there's a few side characters introduced that make it more compelling, you want to know what happens to them, the choices they make or are going to make ect
Can't wait to read the next one!

4.5 stars

Life will find a way; even when the sky goes black, and all hope of oxygen and survival seems hopeless, it will find a way.
Fool Night Volume 1 shows us that. We discover a world where people near death have been converted into plant-like beings to provide oxygen and keep the world alive.
Just like any world nearing its end, the mental health of many suffers, and humanity is called into question.
We follow one man at the end of his rope and applying to become a plant-like being, and the program discovers he can hear those who have been fully transformed.

I love the strangely horrifying beauty of this apocalyptic world.
