#MangaMonday 62 “Fool Night” by Kasumi Yasuda

Toshiro Kamiya is desperately poor and his mother is dangerously disturbed. To pay for her treatment, he wrecks his health and volunteers for a procedure. He’s immediately rolled for the bonus; now he’s poor and has months left to live as a human.

For a century, thick clouds have blotted out the sun. Winter never ends and most natural plants have died. Science has created a solution; special seeds that will turn human bodies into hardy plants over a few years. Only the terminally ill are allowed to volunteer, and they are given a government bonus so they can live their remaining time in relative luxury before becoming ‘spiriflora.’

For some reason—possibly because of the industrial runoff he ingested to qualify for the procedure—Toshiro can understand the ‘language’ of spiriflora. This is a talent that he might be able to earn some money with.

Ongoing with four of 10 volumes in English (Viz.)
