Oxygen running outhumanity pinned its hopes on the “transfloration” techniqueconsisting in transforming a human into a plant.
In order not to sink into an ethical failure, operations are limited to people at the end of life.

However, this operation is not without consequence and lets him take advantage of unsuspected talents.
Editorial review
Fool Night is Seinen and if the cover and synopsis aren’t enough to get you on the right track, its content will. Indeed, suitable for a more “ mature », crazy night is a floral dystopia in a universe as dark as recorded history.
In addition to the planetary situation, the subjects covered are difficult and highlight the human condition in the event of a natural disaster. The general atmosphere mixes pessimism and harshness in the heart of a disastrous world. However, the latter keeps some of its secrets in order to keep you alert and curious.
The story of Toshiro fits into a typical mould, able to make you think if the places were reversed. Nevertheless, the gloomy daily life of his life associated with his new talents leaves room for mystery as to his motivations and how he intends to live his life. “transflowering”.
Original and serious, the manga offers a clever mix of very dark dialogues and graphics that make crazy night a title that is easy to read, driven by your curiosity and the adventures of Toshiro.
