Kodansha USA Publishing releases the Fungus and Iron manga digitally and describes the manga’s story as follows:
Dante’s life on Amigasa seemed normal enough to him, even though everyone around him called him an oddball. But when a chance meeting with a young woman named Aoi changes everything, Dante can no longer sit idly by…unless, of course, he is made to!
