Fool Night

In Fool Night (2021–present, 小学館 [Shogakukan]), a near-future world where sunlight has been blocked by a perpetual cloud cover forces humanity to adapt—or transform. The series follows those who voluntarily undergo a radical biological conversion into plant-like beings, trading their humanity for a chance to survive in a darkened, oxygen-starved environment. Writer and artist Yūsuke Nakamura crafts a hauntingly beautiful sci-fi fable that blends body horror with ecological meditation, making it a standout in contemporary manga for its stark, lyrical premise. Though still early in its run, the series has already drawn attention for its unsettling yet poetic vision of a world reshaped by climate collapse.
