In a world ravaged by human greed and environmental collapse, Little Mushroom An Zhe continues his perilous journey toward survival and identity. He has been living in the human base for some time, learning more about the base, about human laws, and about the goodness and corruption hidden in human hearts. Everything here is foreign to him, but learning human customs is his best chance to stay alive and find his precious spore. Supreme Judge Lu Feng is watching him closely... They say he will kill without hesitation even at the slightest suspicion. But what if the Supreme Judge makes a mistake? After all, the price of such an error could be a single wasted life... or dozens more lost if a monster slips through.
People fear and hate the Supreme Judge. Lu Feng’s green eyes are cold and emotionless, and the hand gripping his gun is steady. An Zhe fears Lu Feng more than anything – just one look into those frosty green eyes says it all: if the Supreme Judge discovers the truth, he will show no mercy.
How many total volumes is this going to be? This one started halfway through chapter 5 of the novel and ends halfway through chapter 7! The entire novel is 49 chapters with an epilogue so…
I know there are three volumes out of the CN version published with vol. 3 English version on the way but does anyone know if the manhua is ongoing or completed? I feel nervous about this one getting completed since there are so many unfinished manhua out there already.
Even in a dystopian world, people seek companionship and even yearn for love. In this second volume of "Little Mushroom" by Yi Shi Si Zhou, the protagonist tries to adapt to life in the human city. His neighbour shows open affection for An Ze, but the little mushroom does not reciprocate, because he is a xenogen and not the original An Ze.
So he ends up working for a doll-maker who specializes in making humanoid dolls, which allows him to live away from home. These dolls are very realistic but still uncanny, because they are lifeless replicas of real people. It is sad that the people who order these dolls are so lonely that they are willing to pay enormous sums in order to own a simulacrum of the person, they love.
While delivering a doll, An Ze meets up with his old neighbour and their mismatched affection continues. Lu Feng then walks in on their awkward scene and misunderstands what is going on and so saves An Ze from what he believes is unwanted attention. Lu Feng even gives An Ze his contact information so that he can call him if the neighbour becomes problematic again. On the surface this is very noble police behaviour but in the light of Lu Feng´s ability to kill people on sight, this situation is highly unusual. It will be interesting to see where this leads in the next volume ...
same as volume 1, i feel like you miss out on some details and emotions of the original story by reading the comic, but it's still pretty faithful and the art is pretty.
As good as the first volume. I'm glad I've read the whole thing because this ends in a difficult place. I'm looking forward to the next volume that will be out around March.
In the second volume, the Little Mushroom, An Ze, tries to find a job. He’s tricked into a brothel district, but a kind-hearted madam finds him a job with a doll-maker. He makes life-like dolls of real people. Much to An Ze’s dismay, someone orders a doll of Supreme Judge Lu Feng.
An Ze keeps running into Lu Feng who is patrolling the city, killing people affected by mutations. He doesn’t like Lu Feng for this reason, but it may be the supreme judge is the key to finding his missing spore.
An Ze has a personal problem too. His neighbour, Josie, who has been the original An Ze’s friend, keeps pestering him. But An Ze doesn’t like Josie, because he left An Ze to die in the abyss. The second volume ends with Josie harassing An Ze, just as Lu Feng is on patrol in the neighbourhood.
Art was as gorgeous as in the first volume. There was maybe a bit more text than in the first, and even if some details are likely lost in adaptation, the story worked very well. The wait for the next volume is long…
мне понравилось! цвета рисунков очень подходят к теме рассказа и сами рисунки прекрасные. история то интересная, то грустная, то веселая. только хотелось бы увидеть побольше женских героев. жаль, а так, прочитав этот выпуск снова захотелось прочитать оригинал~
I LITERALLY BINGE vol 1 & vol 2, cuz OH MY GODDDDDD the story had me on choke hold from the beginning, is just is SO GOOD that once u start reading it u cant put the book down! and THE ART STYLE?? INSANEEEEEEEEE THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BREATHTAKING "SHOULD BE IN A MUSEUM" TYPE OF ART STYLE!!! i was SPEECHLESS in how high quality the story and artstyle is, i 1000000% recommend you to get yourself a physical copy from alohacomics, u wont regret! 😭💯💯❤️🔥👏🏻👏🏻
i pre-ordered vol 1 & 2, and THE WAY vol 2 ends, I'm literally gonna go and pre-order vol 3 after i post this review 🧍just 🤌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥
4.5 Definitely enjoyed more than volume 1. Again, the art style was so wonderful, and it was a lot less visually dark (think LOTR movies rather than more recent Marvel movies) thankfully.
An Zhe is such a cutie and I love him so much and the art really brings it out. Still, 100% want to reread the novels.
This is my least favorite arc from the novel, but the artwork was gorgeous. And even if the plot arc is my least favorite, it’s still an amazing story.
I do find it odd that the novel translated a name as “Josh” but here that character’s name is “Josie”.
“There’s no real difference between the human base and the abyss.”
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Was a little slow than first one but we are starting to understand about An Zhe and his life before, and how he now navigates. It also just shows how quickly things happen, for note don’t get attached to side characters lol, also that ending! Now I definitely can’t wait for volume 3!
