Land of the Lustrous

A manga about humanoid gem beings who inhabit Earth in the far future where the youngest gem Phosphophyllite is looking to find their purpose in life.

I always skimmed through this series in the issues of Afternoon I would pick up and I’d think it looked unique but I never bothered to read it until the anime adaptation. I loved the anime and I actually prefer it to the manga.

My main complaint with the manga is the same complaint I have for books like Trigun Maximum and Tokyo Ghoul:re. Sometimes you can’t understand what’s happening because their paneling and layouts can be too confusing.

Now that I’m a fan of the series I read the newest chapters but I still think it looks confusing from time to time.
