More about Land of the Lustrous (Houseki no Kuni)
Land of the Lustrous (Houseki no Kuni, literally "Land of Jewels") is by Haruko Ichikawa. The manga ran from October 2012 to April 2024 in Kodansha's seinen magazine Monthly Afternoon and was collected in 13 volumes.
It tells of crystalline beings, the Lustrous, on an Earth in the distant future. They have to fend off the Lunarians, who want to turn them into ornaments. At the centre is Phosphophyllite, the most fragile of the gems, who wants to fight and is instead assigned to write a natural history of the world.
In 2017 Studio Orange adapted the story as a twelve-episode CG anime series. This page carries figures and the English-language edition of the manga.
