Fool Night, the anime adaptation of Kasumi Yasuda’s seinen manga, launches on Netflix worldwide on November 26, 2026. It’s the first joint project between SHAFT, the studio behind the Monogatari series, and SUNRISE.
The story
In a future where sunlight no longer reaches the Earth and oxygen is running out, people can survive through “transfloration”, a procedure that slowly turns a human into a plant. The story follows Toshiro Kamiya, who chooses the transformation and gains the ability to hear plants.
The manga has run in Shogakukan’s Big Comic Superior since November 2020. VIZ Media publishes it in English in North America. In November, Yasuda announced that it has crossed one million copies worldwide, and volume 14 comes out in Japan on November 30.
Cast and staff
Koki Uchiyama voices Toshiro Kamiya and Minako Kotobuki voices Yomiko Horai in the Japanese version. Adam McArthur and Olivia Liang have been announced for the English dub, though their roles haven’t been confirmed yet. Jin Tanaka handles series composition and Tatsuya Kato composes the music.
What we don’t know yet
Netflix hasn’t confirmed the number of episodes or whether they’ll all release on the same day. We’ll update this post when it does.
