still think this is the most original concept i have ever seen in manga but i do not remember anything from volume 1 and 2 (except for like the main overarching plot, but nothing about the intricacies). so i think i will wait until all of this is out and (re-)read it then.

This third volume turns more frontally horrific, with an extremely well controlled and gripping storytelling. The whole thing is again set in a sinister atmosphere that seems to be permanently lit by neon, adding to the sense of unease.
The weak point would be that the characters don't evolve much at the moment - and Ivy's motivations are honestly a bit conventional - but Yasuda raises a few interesting and sobering social issues here and there. Combined with the tension of the second half of the volume it more than makes up for the lack 9f character development.
Graphically, it's as impressive as ever. The composition and storytelling are first-rate, and the backgrounds are excellent. Ivy's design is masterful.

I lied back to horror/scifi manga lol
The concepts and social questions being asked in the first half were so interesting. Eager to follow up on what happens with the antitransfloration movement.
The art and the confrontation with Ivy in the back half tho was wild and Ivy’s design? So cool
Almost hate that I’m waiting for the physical volumes at this point might just read digitally cause the anticipation is ruining me!

Art can look a little rough in places, but it’s still good for the most part. The story’s staying consistent too. I like the ethical dilemma of transfloration and how that gets explored in the world.

又是一部末世風格的科幻漫畫
不過跟之前看的搞笑不失嚴肅且正向的天國大魔境
或是偏溫馨的薄墨的盡頭相比
這部就顯得很黑暗絕望了
畫風很讚，題材很黑
應該不大好賣?
台版究竟能堅持幾集呢?

I find the whole spiriflora killer story slightly underwhelming, I don't know if maybe because I had a hunch about certain aspects regarding its identity, and me being right made the revelation less impactful... and there is really not much more going on in this volume apart from that.
We do get introduced to some new characters, even though in quite a tangential way so far, and it seems the opposition to transfloration is going to be an important part to the story in the future.
All in all, still a very original and enjoyable manga.

PRETTY! I can't keep most of the plot details in my head during the months between volumes but I get the gist of it.

This is so good. I'm curious to know if all the information we got from the company about the state of the environment is accurate or propaganda to push their ideals. I love that no one is necessarily in the right.
Fool Night Review
5/5 stars
This will be a spoiler free review. Onto the review!
I am so excited to tell you all about this manga series. I discovered it on a whim and it was really good. It’s set in a future version of earth where we’ve nearly run out of clean air due to pollution. In response to this, the government has decided that if you are terminally ill or very old and going to die soon, you can choose to have this medical procedure done that will turn you into a plant. It doesn’t happen instantaneously. You gradually transform over a few months until you eventually lose your ability to walk around and then your consciousness as well.
Our main character is a boy in high school who is trying to hold down a full time job in order to afford his mother’s life saving medication. I don’t remember if it ever says what specifically she has, but some of the symptoms include memory loss and anger, which will get worse if she doesn’t have her medication. This kid’s job doesn’t even come close to covering her medication’s cost, plus rent and food, so he’s had to make a lot of sacrifices to try and support both of them.
After running out of money and losing his latest job because they don’t want to keep a teenager employed who is skipping school to work, he is forced to resort to drastic measures. Typically, you can only sign up to be turned into a plant if you are dying, because doing so comes with a huge payout, similar to how doctors will pay people to test new medications and experimental surgeries.
He lies about his health and somehow manages to get scheduled for the operation, which provides just enough money to cover his mother’s medication for a little while. After that, he’s going to have to figure out what to do, because eventually he’ll become a plant and won’t be able to work to support her.
It’s at this point that the medical company that performed his surgery discovers that there is a plant going around killing people. The main character ends up getting wrapped up in all this, because he discovers that he can understand the thoughts of plant people that are so far gone that they are no longer able to speak. At first, he’s just working with clients, helping them identify their loved ones who had gone through the plant transformation process, but then once the killer plant starts to become more active, he ends up getting involved in that.
I’ve only read the first four volumes of this series, because it’s very new. I cannot wait to see where this series goes. I’m not sure how long the mangaka is planning on making it, but I hope it goes on for a while. There are a lot of great themes in here that deserve to be fully explored. I think the people who would most enjoy this are people who really like the movies made by Satoshi Kon. I recently watched Perfect Blue for the first time and it reminded me of the storytelling style of this series a lot.
Have a nice day/night everyone!

“Another one”
-DJ Khaled
Bro I need volume 4 of this like I need oxygen
Analysis!
On page 17, Mei and her father eat Mapo Kanten. This is a reference to Sichuan Mapo Tofu, in their reality they don’t have access to soybeans so as a result they replace traditional ingredients.
During their dinner, two vagrants who’ve undergone transfloration struggle to afford a simple soup. Mei takes pity on them and offers dirty hair-covered food she dropped. Based on this interaction I can say that Mei is ignorant. She doesn’t consciously think she’s better than them but the way she treats them is just that. She gives them the food that she rejects, basically giving them her scraps. The vagrant asks her, “Would you offer these to a friend?” basically asking her, do you see us as human? Mei doesn’t see them as people and only extends help because it’s convenient. She ignores the vagrant’s question and when they eat her garbage it affirms to her that they are trash, not her equal.
On page 32, Mei is shown to be blissfully unaware of everything around her, posed walking carefree in her school uniform. Unknowingly to her, Mei’s father is struggling to pay bills to survive and realizing he can’t afford her tuition he makes a deal with the principal; in which he attends a anti-transfloration seminar.
During the climax, Ivy gravely injures Akira and Kanaeno and because pLoT ArMoR, Ivy takes his sweet time to kill Kamiya, buying enough time for Akira to recover and incinerate Ivy. While on fire, Ivy attempts to extinguish the flames by whipping his vines but ends up killing 31 people. (Bro are his vines 40kW lasers?) This incident is broadcast on TV and Mei’s father sees it. I have a feeling that he will an important character later.
YOMIKO MY BELOVED she’s so me fr I would be severely depressed without solid food

Things reach a bit of a crisis point, by the end of this volume, with characters making decisions they can't take back, secrets getting out to the public, and hints that Transflora Medical may be up to even worse things than we might have been led to suspect. The world, itself, gets fleshed out more too, with a look behind the curtain at the anti-transfloration movement, and further details of just how dystopian this world really is. This is a society on the brink of chaos, whether it recognizes the discontent smoldering just below the surface or not.
And really, it's that human element underpinning all the sci-fi trappings that remains Fool Night's strongest element. Transflora Medical isn't just a potentially Umbrella Corporation-esque evil company; it's staffed by people desperate to keep their jobs, because the alternative is crippling debt. The company, itself, is also desperate to keep its failings under wraps, because the alternative might lead to the complete collapse of social order. You've got people fighting for loved ones, fighting to change what they view as a corrupt system, fighting just to keep the lights on and food on their tables. Hell, even the plant monster has motivations that, while somewhat simplistic, make sense considering what little we learn of its history. It's a messy stew of conflicting goals, and the story is richer and more compelling as a result.

*mild spoilers ahead*
Volume 3 of Fool Night really ramps up the tension, diving deeper into the eerie world of human-to-plant transformations. This volume hit hard for me because it focuses so much on Kamiy’s growing unease as he begins to realize the full scope of the system's exploitation. I found the reveal about Ivy’s invasive plant nature especially chilling—it’s such a perfect metaphor for how unnatural and dangerous this whole setup is. Ivy’s transformation as an "invasive plant" isn’t just a physical condition—it’s a reflection of how unnatural and predatory the entire process has become. What stood out is how Ivy seems to symbolize a system spiraling out of control, where even those intended to sustain life become dangerous anomalies. Their presence raises questions about identity, agency, and whether anyone transformed in this way can retain their humanity.
There’s also some intense drama with other characters and shady dealings that kept me on edge. Overall, this series is still gripping, thought-provoking, and just the right amount of unsettling as it dives into the moral and emotional weight of the characters’ choices.

I've been really impressed with this series, and this volume especially! it dives into aspects that I wasn't expecting (mostly political) esp after what happened in the last volume. there's almost always some interesting body horror at play, and this one gets pretty violent near the end. still, it manages to hit emotional beats well without sacrificing the tone of the entire thing. Kamiya feels like a much better written Denji from Chainsaw Man, and I've enjoyed this manga so far much more than I did that one (probably because women aren't constantly being sexualized for kicks the entire time, though this volume does have a random naked woman show up in one panel). i think horror and sci fi manga fans should def check this out, it's doing some cool stuff and I look forward to every volume that releases.

Toshiro is hunting the mobile Spiriflora (dubbed Ivy) to get revenge for what it did to Yomiko. But he's not exactly happy with how the police and Transflora Medical are dragging their feet on finding the murderer. And his urgency could shorten the amount of time he has to still be human.
But then you find out some stuff and oh... oh no... this series was dark, but now we're way past just murder... But it's so good! The suspense and the horror!

Que j'aime ce manga !
J'adore la dystopie qui est constitué ici et la réflexion qu'elle apporte.
J'aime chacun de ces personnages atypiques qui ont chacun un motif différent.
J'avais regardé ce livre avec méfiance il y a quelques temps et je suis bien content d'avoir eu le courage de lire cette série finalement

I'm thoroughly enjoying how the series has evolved into a thrilling murder mystery, surprising me with its philosophical undertones. The artwork is also impressive, skillfully weaving together complex plotlines and building suspense. I can’t wait to get volume 4!

Amo que la historia se desarrolle desde cada perspectiva, ya ni siquiera se trata de convertirse en una planta o no, se trata de los objetivos e ideales que son mayores a tú propia existencia y--😭😭🤧🤧💖💖💖
