Kodansha USA Publishing is releasing Fungus and Iron digitally, and it describes the manga:
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!
Katayama launched the manga in Kodansha’s Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in March 2021. The manga went on hiatus in August 2021 when Katayama began her maternity leave. It then resumed serialization in March 2022. Kodansha published the manga’s first compiled book volume in July 2021, and the eighth volume on October 9. Kodansha USA released the eighth volume in English digitally on February 24.
