As with the publisher’s previous release of Vols. 1 and 2 of the series, buyers who preorder Vol. 3 through Aloha’s site are eligible to receive freebies: two collectible ID cards and a sticker pack. Aloha states that they will be revealing previews for these freebies as the release date approaches.
Aloha provides the following summary for Little Mushroom (Manhua) Vol. 3:
In the age of the Catastrophe, people believed they were living through the darkest chapter of their lives. In reality, humanity’s most trying moment had yet to come.
Hard times await An Zhe as well. Supreme Judge Lu Feng seems to have come for him, yet the closer the two get, the less certain it becomes what the colonel actually wants. The delicate equilibrium is gradually falling apart, and An Zhe uncovers a secret that could land him in prison for life. It turns out the human Bases are not the impregnable fortresses they were thought to be; some have already been destroyed entirely. How much longer can the Northern Base endure?
Yet amid all the questions, some answers finally emerge. At last, An Zhe learns who took his precious spore, and when.
The Little Mushroom manhua series is currently ongoing, and Aloha Comics will likely release future volumes as more chapters become available. The original novel that the manhua adapts was recently re-licensed for release in English by Seven Seas Entertainment after its former publisher’s closure in 2024, and Vol. 1 is projected for release in July 2026.
Little Mushroom
小蘑菇
[Synopsis Provided by Seven Seas Entertainment:]
In a future Earth ravaged by radiation, the Northern Base is one of humanity’s last bastions of survival—and that survival depends on keeping nonhuman life forms out at all costs.
Anzhe, a mushroom disguised as a human, knows that stepping foot in the Northern Base is risking instant extermination. But he has no choice: The humans have taken his spore, and he is instinctually driven by the need to reclaim it.
His mission depends on passing flawlessly as a human. While Anzhe is able to fool the Base’s advanced technology, he’s unlucky enough to have caught the keen eye of the handsome but merciless Judge—a man licensed to kill to keep the Northern Base safe from parasites and invaders. Can Anzhe survive under the watch of those beautiful eyes?
