Storytime: Houseki No Kuni (Vol 7)

Hop in, pick a Gem and try this amazing manga!

>What is Houseki No Kuni?
A Manga from author Haruko Ichikawa. 28 genderless Gem People are the only habitants of the land in the far future, and they must defend themselves from the mysterious attackers that come from the Moon to capture them. Phos, the protagonist, is completely useless, so Adamant, their leader, asks him to make an encyclopedia which kicks a series events that make him start to discover whats going on with the world they are living in.

What we saw so far:
>Phos gets chosen to make an encyclopedia. He meets Cinnabar, who wants to fucking die, and decides to find a job for him. Phos befriends an Admirabilis, Ventricosus. Admirabilis are used as slaves by the Moon People. Ventricosus tells Phos about the Humans and their myth of creation. She tries to sell Phos to the Moon People and he loses their legs, but they sort things out and she gives him agate legs.
>Phos new legs makes him super fast. Adamant Sensei sends him with the Amethyst twins to see if he learns how to fight. Phos gets too scared to even call for help during battle. Due to feeling bad about it, Phos cannot hibernate like the other gems during winter. He is paired up with Antarciticte to defend the sleeping gems from attackers, and loses his arms to the talking ice floes. When he gets an alloy replacement, Moon People attack and take away Antarc.
>Phos gets temporarily partnered up with Bortz since he is now strong. A double sunspot anomaly appears, and from there a giant Moon People who attacks the gems, but they manage to defeat him. Phos realizes the giant was related to Sensei in some way and decides to learn about it by directly trying to talk with the Moon People.
>Phos can only get breathing sounds out of the Moon People. He pairs up with Ghost Quartz, a multilayered gem and keeps trying to investigate Sensei in secret.
>Because of his fault, Ghost gets taken to the Moon and only his inner gem, Cairngorm remains. They sort things out. Another double sunspot anomaly appears, this time Pieces that they manage to defeat. Sensei is shown to know the pieces too. Just before Winter comes again, Phos loses his head.

The awful typesetting will eventually get better so bear with me. Its one of the best volumes imo.

...

long winter indeed

BENITOOOO!

OH

GOD

oh god I thought they were gonna go through with it.
10/10 Haruko Ichikawa you got me

...

Sensei would never allow it
But yeah, fucking Cairngorm man, i cant stop liking him. Zero hesitation.

Phos better not let him die.

...

Oh, yes, we had a timeskip. Did you guys not notice? Just inmortal rocks things.

End Of The Chapter

Is this what Steven Universe ripped-of?

This is obviously based on the very first page of the manga.

This looks really neat, I am surprised I had not heard of it before. Where is the best place to read it, OP?

I have this feeling that the only gem that gets Cairngorm its Rutile

finally someone says it like it is
yeah, i dont know if they ripped it off but SU came like a year after.
They are different though, concept aside.

Batoto or kissmanga, i guess. Dooo it! Or revisit my previous threads.

he is back, prettier than ever

End of the chapter, new power adquired.

On to chapter 3!

...

...

...

...

So is Phos's head alive, so now there are two Phoses?

...

Thats an interesting question, given what we know about Phos. The answer would be that most likely Phos head is fine dust by now. But if it was alive we dont know, it would probably be like that, yes.

I would think that Phos' head would need its own body to function, just like with Lapis'.

I keep missing the current threads. Thanks for the dump OP.

Cairngorm has such a stiffie

...

Ponytail looks so good on him.

Wouldnt you?

you are welcome! sorry for it being slow

...

...

Woopsies.

END of the chap.

Say goodbye to the rosehaired bully with the nice butt and the kind gem that did absolutely nothing.

what the fuck is going on

>someday I will make you meet him
Phos really needs to stop making promises, they keep on piling and all of them are impossible to fulfill

Sometimes I forget the wacky bendy liquid arm things are made of gold, I picture them as inky black.
