Comments of Houseki no Kuni

I'm so glad I found this one!! It's really a... hidden gem! (ba-dum-tiss) Perhaps even a diamond in the rough!!
Gemstone puns aside, this one is REALLY good. It's a slice-of-life action tragedy... it has those warmhearted moments but hooks its claws in you with mysteries, action, and tragedies to break your heart. The art is gorgeous and the author tells incredible stories with just paneling alone, sometimes not even needing words!
At the time of my writing this comment, the eng scans are behind the rus scans, so if you can read russian, you can read further ahead ;___; and I'm super jealous.

For those of you who don't know, this manga is getting an anime adaption. I believe it is supposed to come out this year. I'm super hyped for it.

Hey, so Kodansha is releasing this in English under the name Land of the Lustrous. If you want to support the author or look at the gorgeous art in print, please buy it.

The universe in this manga is absolutely beautiful and interesting. The characters are all unique and Phos, the MC, is very complex. You can't really tell what's wrong or not.
I can't describe how much I love it.

This manga is really good!It' full with action,drama,comedy and the story plot is unique too.I wish mangago will update the new volume as soon as the new volume are published :D

I regret reading and sticking with this manga it had such a creative story that intrigued me in the beginning but now I just wanna forget it. It's so unfair what happened to Phos, he deserves better..

NAH. i was just gonna have this be a short and sweet message but i have shit to say. the beginning of this manga was absolutely beautiful, its like that until the end, but it changes. all of the gems never even TRIED to understand phos. NONE OF THEM. they always shit on them and called them useless. even with that, phos just wanted them to be happy. phos just wanted everyone to be happy. they wanted to be useful and help out, but it seemed like no matter what they did they just ruined something. people only cared about them after they lost their arms and legs. all the other gems were content with blindly trusting sensei and ignoring his relation to the lunarians, but phos wasnt. so phos decided to go to the source; THE MOON. with a main goal in mind: bring back the stolen gems. phos did it all for them. through all the berading and hatred they went through, they still loved the gems. they still cared for them. but they didnt. they never cared about phos. maybe antarc and euc, but the others? never. THEYYYY FUCKING LEFT THEM. THEY LEFT THEM ALL ALONE ON THAT ISLAND TO WHITHER AWAY FOR 10,000 YEARS. they left them and went to the moon. after the years and years of being manipulated and mistreated, after years of BEGGING. they finally do. all while leaving phos behind. theyre fucking sick. all of them. im not saying that phos is all good incarnate. they did wrong. they made mistakes. but they did it for them, for the gems. while being manipulated. even after being torn apart and smashed to bits, they still thought "if i do this we can all be free". and they left them.

Please...
This is a HEAVY WARNING for those who want to start reading this manga!!!
(It is personal)
It is unique and beautiful artstyle.
Amazing concept of plot and universe.
BUT
But... it's really not good for mental health
My mental health to be precise.
I miss the day I never read this manga.
I didn't regret reading it, but I regret it at the same time.

Completed...Phos get peace at last :) though it kinda suck that other gem doesnt face any consequences

I hate this!!...Phos will be alone for such a long time:(

Also known as: Land of Phos's perpetual pain and suffering as everyone breaks them and breaks them and breaks them until they can't possibly be more broken. At this point, just let Phos end the world because that's the happiest ending there is left as Phos can finally be put out of their misery.

This was... wow. Insane in ways I can't describe. The development of characters are unexpected to say the least. Quite true to their situations but nevertheless, terrifying. Its quite emotional in many aspects and definitely made me feel various emotions and I'm in a state of shock at how the story has developed. The simplistic art style really highlights the more complex ones and the panels together, work incredibly well. Needless to say, the storyline is fantastic.

i cried so much plspls i was sobbing and i’m still recovering

FUCKING BEAUTIFUL

ruined my life

this, this is what you call a masterpiece. the portrayal of humans depicted through the different beings, the challenges and sacrifices the mc (phos) had to go through, and many more.

i dare say that if you want a good read, i'd definitely rec. this !!

I cannot why do they get to be happy while phos suffered all those years alone I loathe them all so much I cannot express I just why I hate it so much

they could never make me hate you phos

The anime was beautifully depressing and the manga is gorgeous traumatizing. I love this
