i hate reading manga online but i have to know how this develops

A good second volume, which shows that the series seems to be moving towards the thriller genre, but is more contemplative than average. The narrative is naturally stretched out - with several periods of silence and introspection - in a progressively darker atmosphere, much to my delight.

TW/CW: strong language, violence, blood and gore, murder, child abuse, body horror
Me every single manga panel: "What a cool manga!" YES. WHAT A COOL MANGA INDEED. AND WHAT A GREAT CONCEPT. I lowkey want the ability to hear the thoughts of plants and trees. But I understand why one would be opposed to the transfloration (turning humans into plants) project. Technology advancements, after all, can be disastrous.
Overall, I appreciate the psychological aspects since they allow us to discover more about the individuals' tragic pasts. We probed carefully into all of their issues and traumas; how they shaped them as adults. Also, the art style is amazing. There’s a serial killer on the loose, and it resembles those monsters from Ajin. I really think that the MC has some sort of mutation that has led him to be able to have his abilities. Really excited for more!

I think I liked it better than the first volume, maybe because there's some continuity there when it comes to 'piano girl', but she is not a big part of the story anymore.
Our main character is acquiring new depths, now that he is starting to realize what he's gotten himself into with the transfloration process, and his limited lifespan of two years. He strives to find a meaningful purpose on life, but struggles at it... and that melancholy really adds to the whole vibe of the story.
A story that seems to be veering more towards the thriller side in this volume, particularly in that fast-paced last part, with a serial killer that probably has an ulterior motive that it is not going to be easy to find, all things considered. And what's with the candy?
Hopefully, some answers coming soon, but this manga sure is the (unexpected) good stuff.

me ha gustado un poco menos que el primero porque no me termina de convencer la dirección que ha tomado la trama. de todas formas, el apartado artístico, la psicología de los personajes, las reflexiones subyacentes y demás siguen siendo 10/10.

i am really liking this mc so far. he's feeling like he needs to find his purpose and meaning in life because his days are numbered yet he's unable to find anything to keep him going. it's sad yet somewhat relatable

This picks up right where volume one leaves off and builds the world in creepy and compelling ways. I still don't love the art, but I'm starting to appreciate the way it reflects the world of the story so well. I'm excited for more.

Se está poniendo super interesante. Hay más de un panel que simplemente WOW.
Todo el tema del asesino en serie, lo que significa ser humano y el no saber ni qué hacer con tu vida porque te queda poco tiempo, está entremezclado de una forma genial. ¡Qué ganas del siguiente tomo!

Oh...oh, this is good. I mean, Fool Night had started out pretty good in the last volume, with a unique premise, distinctive art, and a surprising emphasis on human drama, and while volume 2 continues all of that, midway through things take a darker turn that elevates the story even higher.
It's going to sound strange, but the best way I can describe it, is that Fool Night is beginning to feel like a high-quality Batman story--one of the arcs that focuses on detective work and lunatics lurking in the shadows; not the ones where he's fighting godlike beings. There's a killer on the loose, his motives are inscrutable, he's not entirely human, and he has ties to one of the major players in the story. It's that last part that really kicks the door wide open into a world of conspiracies, tense alliances, and Toshiro having to hide his abilities even from his nominal allies. It's now a full-on murder/mystery thriller, focused on a case whose resolution (or lack thereof) promises dire implications for society at large.
Fool Night was well worth a read when it was a sci-fi tinged exploration of the human condition, but now that there are stakes higher than Toshiro's two-year transfloration time limit, the story has really come into its own. While it can be a slow burn at times, this series is shaping up to be something truly memorable.

Fool Night just keeps getting better, and darker. Volume 2 seriously ups the intensity, and I loved that this one focused more on both Toshiro and Yomiko.
Yomiko’s arc this time is especially wild, she’s forced to turn someone into a plant against their will, just to try and get intel on a serial killer. It's a brutal twist on her moral compass and adds more of those fucked-up, no-good-options kind of choices the series does so well.
And then there’s the killer. Holy shit. Creepy, vicious, and terrifying. Toshiro and Yomiko barely make it out alive, and after the fallout, a new team forms to take this monster down. The stakes are higher, the damage is worse, and you feel every bit of it.
Honestly, I’m surprised this manga isn’t way more popular. The art style is weird in the best way, striking and memorable, and the themes it hits? Heavy stuff. Broken systems, moral compromise, and making peace with death. It doesn’t pull punches.
Also, I can’t hype Toshiro and Yomiko enough—they’re fantastic characters to follow. Volume 2 delivers. Hard.

Volume 2 still had me completely hooked. Kamiya, the main character, only has two years left before he’s fully transformed into a plant, and it really makes him question how he wants to spend his remaining time. He initially agreed to the transformation to escape poverty in a world running out of oxygen, but now he’s starting to wonder if the sacrifice was worth it and begins to reconsider what it means to truly live. As if his own struggles weren’t enough, there’s also a serial-killing transflora on the loose.
Honestly, this series has me entranced; I couldn't stop reading until I was done with the volume. The story's just so immersive that I got completely lost in it. Will dive into the next volume soon!

Toshiro finds Sumi's father and earns enough money to get his mom some help. But the experience sticks with him because his own ticking clock becomes very real to him. So he quits.
It's a very human reaction and though (as a reader) I'd prefer he be the super cool plant detective, this feels like a very real step on Toshiro's emotional journey. And the plot flows really well to make sure he doesn't stay in this funk because there's a serial killer on the loose.

This volume further expands on the lore of the world they live in, and introduces an interesting antagonist. I was a tad worried it would continue being pure talk like the first
Volume but the way this one went, it renewed my faith in the series. I’m excited to get my hand on volume 3 to see if the stakes are raised even higher.

I needed something to forget about today. The first volume had an incredible premise - caveat that it’s in the horror genre. This second volume felt much slower; it continued on adding twists and problems but I am mildly concerned about pacing. I long for the days of manga where a volume was a self contained story and not just one very long chapter. Hope this doesn’t turn into one of those.

I like the pacing of this book. Seems like a slow Psycholgical thriller/horror type genre. Horror is used lightly here as the most "horror" aspect of it is some of the imagery. It also has a little bit of like detective like feel to it too. Reminds me of Hell's Paradise (Jigokuraku), mixed with a little Chainsaw Man and Homunculus. A lot of depth to the story. I will continue reading.

Bon hé bien comme anticipé dans ma dernière critique du 1er tome, c'est très très bon. Je suis totalement conquise par le tournant que prend l'histoire, la profondeur du texte, les dessins. Je suis énormément attachée au personnage principal que j'aime beaucoup.
Pépite !

i love where this is going. we're getting more existential with our mc's limited timeline, we're getting more plant body horror with this new serial killer plot, we're getting more politics in our transfloration society... i will continue to be seated!!

i refuse to read ahead of the print release online because i feel like it deserves the respect of being read in print like a proper old worn sci-fi paperback you find in the library with fuzzy page corners and an originally neon cover that's gone kind of grey

Me encanta como está construido el mundo, es algo que te atrapa completamente.

Wowowowow! This just keeps getting better and better. First, it was just a cool premise. But now to add a murder mystery and a human rights element. Yes. 100% yes.

Dit volume slaagt erin de wereld en personages zoals uitgezet in deel 1 verder te verdiepen en tegelijk wat meer tempo in het verhaal te brengen.
