Are we supposed to empathize with the moonies this much? They certainly come off as the most human for sure.

Aechmea totally expects Phos to fail and is preparing for war.

No. They're conniving and sinister monsters that lie, steal, rape, and pillage. Aechmea is clearly lying to get on the gems good sides.

Phos even remembers that now? I assumed that was completely gone.

>Please put that back where you found it

Yeah I was under that impression as well.
Might just be something Phos picked up from the stories of his descendant though.

So the Lunarians are sorta fog-like or something yeah? Could they meld overtop of someone for fucking purposes like in Blade Runner 2049?

Thank you, kind and gentle striborg.

So are you saying that Phos causes the next impact?

worst outcome for the gem/slugs, the moonies will get everything they ever wanted

Nice.

Maybe things get better for Phos

Not if sensei gets destroyed as a result of Phos' actions.

I wouldn't expect less of the pearl lady

Attached: 1542731716501.gif (174x100, 686K)

It's either that or Sensei doesn't pray, and the war starts. Bad outcome no matter what.

What about the theory that claimed that if Sensei prays again it would cause the earth to "break" again? And in the process sensei is destroyed.

Meant for this user

Plot twist. When Phos arrives, she sees all the gems gathered outside the school. She warily walks up to them, incredibly anxious at what may happen when she notices that some of them are falling apart and others are distraught. She pushes them aside and sees Adamant laying on the grass, unmoving. Years of chucking tiny bits of himself have taken their toll and he falls into a slumber that he'll never wake from.

We will remember you based user

Attached: 1516867668627.jpg (600x814, 130K)

I think if the moonies knew the earth breaks whenever sensei tries to pray they would try something else. We don't know for sure why sensei refuses to pray but I think the reason will be more personal, such as the professor ordered him not to, or he doesn't want to leave the gems behind when he breaks or have them end up like the moonies, bored for eternity.

How would Phos react?

Attached: venomphos.jpg (1276x718, 125K)

Perhaps it's that. Maybe once his job is complete he shuts down or something. Without someone to take over the gems will be just as worse off as the lunarians.

> Without someone to take over the gems will be just as worse off as the lunarians.

What makes you think that? We've seen gems like Alex being capable enough to teach others about the world, Rutile and Yellow can fix everyone up if they get damaged, and again, can teach others to do so too, and presuming that Jade/Euclase aren't killed later on or something, they have enough authority to keep everyone working together.

Sensei doesn't really serve a purpose beyond being an intimidating figure + being able to wreck Lunarians, both of which wouldn't be super important after the Lunarians are gone.

So what excuse do you guys think Euclase would have to come up with to justify not at least hearing Phos out this time around, especially since he's coming unarmed?

Lemme just say I'm glad nobody has ever been able to top Ichikawa's autism and predict anything thus far.

I honestly still believe in the "the lunarians want to become human again" meme and sensei has the power to do that. And for some reason, probably because he has seen the horrors of humanity or something, will not do it by the commands of professor or his own will.

Being a cunt

>What makes you think that?

that's not really the issue, the lunarians gave the gems the closest thing they had to death, if they were to disappear, unless one of the gems jumped into an ice floe they would live forever with nothing to do, just like the lunarians currently are. Budhanon touched on this at one point, how Buddhism teaches that suffering is an essential part of life. Without the lunarians the gems will no longer have suffering. Sensei said this as well when he said "we are far too complex to be satisfied simply living" which is what makes me think he is refusing to pray because the gems can live more meaningful lives if the threat of the lunarians exists.

Attached: enlightenedphos.jpg (824x1076, 156K)

It could be for a more selfish reason - he loves the gems and doesn't want to lose them by having them merge back into humanity.

>"ara ara are you trying to manipulate me Lapis?" >"Shinsha mercury him"

Attached: 1536959457820.jpg (864x576, 69K)

That's not really a problem that Sensei can fix just by being there though, the gems will need to figure out a purpose/goal for their existence by themselves, keeping things this way is just exacerbating the current problem and still has an entire race of people suffering. At least the gems have a chance to find their own reasons to keep living.

Besides, unlike the Lunarians, gems can still effectively 'kill' themselves if they REALLY wanted to, especially now since they have access to the moon facilities. But again, Sensei's presence there either way isn't really necessary, he'd be at a loss of what they should do just as much as the gems would be if the Lunarians went away.

>using Euclase.
Phos is doomed.
I hope Euc dies before Phozu arriving.

With how much he loves the gems I can't imagine he would value himself being with them more than the gems own lives being snuffed out due to his inaction.

i care about Shitsha!

AAAAAAAA i fucking knew it, the lunarians actually believe that Shiro is being held captive on Earth, they think the gems divided Shiro and keeps him from combining, they think the plushie made by Red Beryl are the captive Shiro being held and moved around, they suggest to the gems a funny game of putting all of the dogs together but the dog has already recombined a lot time ago, they are not aware that Shiro is gone, they have no idea that a DOG is more worthy of buddhist heaven than their sinful ass AAAAAAA

Attached: i knew it 2.png (1864x185, 65K)

Does it really matter? I can't imagine Achmea or the Lunarians care that much about what happened to Shiro.

> they have no idea that a DOG is more worthy of buddhist heaven than their sinful ass AAAAAAA

Aren't animals in a different class of 'soul' than a person though? An animals 'soul' is basically always going to be pure since they're only acting on basic instinct, Shiro's only hangup that was preventing him from passing on was not being able to see Kongo, so as soon as he did he basically just passed on on his own like the other normal spirits presumably did.

It matters because it means Shiro was a successful experiment at making Sensei pray. You raise a good point, it is possible that animals have a different kind of soul in the houseki universe. Additionally, Aechmea's comments are unclear, especially the bit about Shiro needing permission to die. There is a possibility that something was lost in the translation. But there's one thing that is undeniable. In this chapter the lunarians just told the gems about a dog collecting game. Why would they tell them about a dog collecting game if the gems don't have any dog? The only explanation is that they believe they do. They only explanation is that they believe Shiro is captive on Earth. They HAVE seen the gems walking around holding dogs, except they are plushies, and the original has actually vanished, but do the Lunarians know that? Nothing indicates they do.

Consider also the following: in order for the Lunarians to be aware that Shiro as vanished, they need to be able to see inside the school. Nothing in the story implies the lunarians can spy inside the school. The opposite in fact: Phos planned her false abduction with Cairngorm from inside the school and her plan did work. They were caught unaware by a plan hatched from inside the school. They can't see or hear inside it. The Lunarians only know they dropped Shiro and he never came back, which means he's captured.

I love the gem known as Phosphophyllite, otherwise known as Phos. For some reason, they make me feel complete in a way nothing else can. Sometimes I feel nothing but the urge to scream out to the world to tall everyone just how much I adore the one known as Phosphophyllite. This urge burns hotter in my heart than the flames of a thousand suns, and brighter than the largest star. I cannot fathom how anyone else cannot feel the same way when looking at Phosphophyllite. I have found a new meaning and purpose in life by committing my heart, mind and soul to the mineral known as Phosphophyllite. That is all. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH I LOVE PHOS!

Attached: 1526482414715.png (2275x1300, 3.29M)

Where did all those shells come from?

I don't consider Shiro an example of Sensei praying, Shiro, by the looks of things, passed on by himself once his attachment to the world was dealt with ((meeting Sensei again)), the Lunarians themselves are tethered by more than something like that, their nature as 'humans' in general as well as their sin prevents them from passing on as easily, so they need Sensei to pray for them.

As it stands it's probably more likely that the gems ((maybe even Candycorn)) told them about what happened to Shiro, but again, doesn't really seem important in the grand scheme of things.

Sadly, Phos is dumb enough to fall for everything Aechmea says

Attached: 1545758582029.jpg (838x834, 116K)

Phos must have some kind of mental illness at this point maybe all of them.

There are a few holes in this story, true, I mean, if what Achmea is saying is right about the Admirabillis losing intelligence due to less food, A) why are they still dumb now after they have all the food they want, and B) Why could Ventricosus/her brother able to instantly regain their intelligence when they got taken to the ocean?

It's been a long time since I read the original parts with Ventricosus in it, but still, only explanation I can think of would be that, as royalty, Ventricosus/the brother are just genetically stronger and could regain their intelligence quicker or some shit.

Though to be fair, if Achmea IS telling the truth, it makes sense that the story of what happened to them would get passed down really badly over this amount of time, even Variegatus had a pretty butchered version of Ventri and Phos meeting, and that was only a little over a hundred years.

They value getting gems beyond helping the Admirabillis at this point, which is clear, and still makes sense since all the Admirabillis on the moon, are basically just treated/act like animals.

There isn't really much need to keep them caged, as they are on the moon they're pretty docile and animal-like, only Phos can really understand them/talk to them as they are anyway.

Weather/Bad ocean conditions? If the currents can be strong enough to even break apart hard gems then I guess the Admirabillis would need something to protect their soft bodies.

Probably not. Volume 9 had both earth and moon gems.

Craig is genuinely the daftest character in the story. He has fucked up more than fucking Phos at this point, and caused more collateral damage too.
And apparently once his minimal responsibility towards protecting Phos was lifted from him, his few remaining braincells converted into semen, because even his facial expressions are stupid now.

Phos still has near perfect defense against Bortz. Although Bortz is welcome to TRY.

To be fair, the gems are stoneage level. Being a genius autist like LaPhos doesn't matter for shit if they can't even get access to the currently available moon info.

hmmm I think that the moonies are friendly and honest people, that's why they explicitly went back on their agreement with Ventricosus and burned her when she fulfilled her end of the bargain.

Since Phos has the human particle, doesn't it mean that Sensei is forced to listen to her? My guess is that Sensei will simply refuse to ever meet with her.

It'll still fuck up Phos's plans, and if Phos goes in unarmed then starts grappling Bortz with his gold arms then he'll be treated just the same as he was the first time he showed up, all the other gems, including probably Shinsha will try and stop him.

I hated him at the beginning, later I started to respect him more, but as I see now it was a mistake.

I never liked craig that much, from his introduction all the way to now.

>tfw no gf to sit on my large belly while I'm passed out drunk

it'll probably be the opposite, with the moon gems attacking the Sea.

Come to think of it. Now would be a good time for Phos to find the green loli slug and give her the ship to get to the moon.

Except it's expicitly said that the ship only has enough energy to get to Earth and will dissolve once it gets there.
>green
She's multicolored

I think she's looking for a espiritual death, like the lunarians, but for gems. I always question myself, do gems have spirits or "souls"?

Nah, the point to the page where Karen says "I want to go to the nothingness since my husband's going to feel lonely if I don't go with him" is showing that she (as all gems) cannot really understand the concept of true death as someone actually ceasing to exist -in Ventricosus' words, "not to be found anywhere".
Part of Phos's profound isolation is that he's the only one who has a grasp on this concept. He knew Ventricosus and now she's really dead. Look at which gems this page shows in regards with hardnesses: Phos is the only one who has a partner that can't come back and is truly gone (which leads to a mini-breakdown, he sits still for hours then snaps wearing his scary "let's fucking destroy Sensei haha" face), and his dialogue with Euclase shows that he understands that he feels cornered because if he were to be grinded he's be truly gone ("those under 5 include me"). Karen does not realize this and thinks of the afterlife in nothingness as a " real place" of sorts.
>do gems have spirits or "souls"?
As far as I can tell, Buddhism does not operate on the concept of an immortal soul, pre-made and only infused in the body to return to a specific 'place of souls' in afterlife. The term of 'lifeforms' seems to be used for those capable of sapiency (even to a lesser extent like animals), which is why Sensei applies it to gems and recognizes that they are indeed lifeforms and worthy of being recognized and educated as such.
In HnK lore, human souls or spirits (lit. 'tamashii') are a specific and distinct thing that came to create the moon people, who are in fact mutated concretions of what is probably better understood as individuals' karma that cannot free itself from sin and therefore can neither be reincarnated nor pass over to the afterlife realm.
tl;dr gems operate on human being's principles of sapiency and morality but souls in hnk is only used to refer to what the moonies are

I mean, if what we're seeing is a recording, the part where criminals were deported over to the moon actually be legit (don't forget that we don't know what their crimes were, there's always the possibility that they were dissenters or denouncing some fucked up shit).
I'm more inclined towards thinking that Aechmea told Phos some half-truth or lie by omission -the sea did in fact look desolate so food scarcity could've been a real issue. Maybe the 'lie' is in the famine was artificially created and Convallarius is kneeling as a way of admitting defeat by the moonies and taking their conditions

Wait, wait this sure feels like the end is coming. A few dozen chapters left at most.
Did Ichikawa say anything about the manga wrapping up?

a few dozen chapters is still a few years, she likely won't say anything until later

I love Phos so so much. She means the world to me. Every morning I wake up motivated to do better for her and every night I go to sleep thinking of how much I love her. Nothing would make me happier than to be by her side. To see her smile and kiss her and even hold her hand. I want to comfort her through all her suffering, and to strive to make her life better in any way I can. I love her more than anything in the world, she is my sole reason for being. Phos!!!

Yes. Never trust Yucklase.

We still need the Sea arc, but it does feel like the Moon arc is ending in a chapter or five.

Earth arc was 51 chapters
Moon arc is probably going to be around 30 chapters
I wonder how long the Sea arc will be?

Cute user.

1 chapter
then back to the moon for 30 more chapter

One big difference between the night raid and now is that Phos lost Padparadscha as an advisor. Last time he had planned the logistics properly and tried to anticipate what the gems' moves would be, where his "plan" only involves trying to get to talk with Euclase and explain his reasons to him now because he knows he blew up any bridges and goodwill he could've received earlier.
Still, it'll be interesting to see the details of Phos' landing.
>Whether it's at day or at night, not just because the latter would make the gems more suspicious but also an obvious light vs darkness theme
>A landing into the sea would be important because it's a metaphor for rebirth and new identity (Craig is "born" from the sea when Ghost is chipped off of him, Laphos is dropped on the sea with new clothes and he emerges from the sea as a new being from what the gems had seen of him)
>Whether it's winter or spring on Earth, symbolizing stillness or change
>Whether we get a shot of Sensei dreaming or doing something momentous, since this was the case when Phos got the legs, got the arms, went to the moon, left with the other gems.
Last point (with the exception of the arms) might even be a hint that Kongo senses Phos' nature of Buddha and subconsciously reacts to that

Also: I know I might be reading too much into it, but look at chapter 53's opening and the lotus flower's petals in Sensei's dream. Their relative positions are drawn (intentionally?) to look like they're the same petal describing an arc, but it's not apparent if the petal is going down, or up (which could be a reference to Phos' journey)

Wouldn't it be easier for Phos to go in winter so he doesn't have to deal with the others and even if they weren't hibernating they wold be severely weakened.

Aechmea knowledges the seductive powers of a goatee.

Why are people so adamant in thinking that Bortz hates Phos to death now?
During the night raid Phos literally broke in at night with a weapon and said "hand over the Sensei and nobody gets hurt", of course a fight ensued.
Among the Earth gems, Bortz probably was the one who was the most heartbroken and disappointed over Phos' betrayal. Look at his face and words in pic related -sure he actually used to be attracted from Phos' newfound battle potential, but he actually cared about Phos a lot. He told him how to fight better, respected his journey to actually become stronger and understood better than anyone how strong doesn't mean satisfied. Bortz fought like hell to retrieve Phos when Cicada dropped him in the sea and walked miles to the deep sea when he left again.
Borts hates self-pity, running away from problems, deception to the point that excessive straightforwardness is his character flaw.
The contempt he feels comes from seeing Phos actually become strong, and deciding to use that strength for the worse, deliberately going after the gems like Dia that would have a reason to run away. It's because he loves Diamond that seeing his brother presented with an easy shortcut he'll likely take makes Bortz so mad, not some primal rage against Phos.

That would've seemed unlikely before this chapter, but I'm not so sure now. Lunarians can actually get underwater like and the Admirabilis had contacts with the moonies before. I wouldn't put dropping a vat of chemicals or two in the sea past Aechmea.
Also this shows just how much the gems used to be isolated from their world at large.

I did some research into those names' spelling but wasn't too successful
Anyway if they really are references to the Prunus Mume and the Japanese ginger there goes my theory about all the moonies being named after bugs

They are also named after plants.

Yes and no, so far (with the exception of Appe whom nothing seems to come up for) every name could be attributed to an arachnid or insect species because Ichikawa tends to go for species names, so 'barbata' just means bearded and you have both plants and bugs named like that

They do not. Gems are all but immortal, since even the dusted gems can come back (although they'll lose their personality); the admirabilis dissolve after death leaving no trace of their existence behind them.
Moreover there's the irony of Karen saying she'll follow Aechmea into nothingness where you're supposed to leave your attachments to get there and in that very line all she's doing is reinforcing them after being given an alternative.

More moon clothes Ichikawa please

Thanks for the translation

Dead slugs probably. If you think about that, there must be tons of those lying around, unless those get re-eaten by other slugs too. Anyway it's a nice way to show that he took the subject at heart and wasn't lying when he said he'd continue researching the matter, regardless of Aechmea telling the truth or not when he later says how the slugs' new generation is conveniently changing to suit Phos's needs.

Only if they don't looks as stupid as Phos' onesie

Animal souls being different is an Abrahamic thing, where eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge (of good and evil) makes humans responsible for their sin.
In Buddhism all life is traditionally assumed to be capable of enlightenment.

Did Kima or Quieta make that? Do we even know? Also you gotta wonder if the gems were asked about wearing a different outfit for the wedding or not

Kima made then.
Quieta is solely working on Karen's wardrobe. You can see the diference of style. Kima makes clothes for the gems thinking about possible battles and such. Phos onesie is to help gather him quick is he got shattered. And a somewhat futuristic look to the pieces she makes.
Quieta is focusing on everyday clothes for Karen. She makes the clothes to feel like the ones human used and to give a good match in David Bowie's human visuals. Also, putting lots of sensuality in the princess wardrobe to enhance the feminine look Karen seens attracted to portray.

>If he got*
Just when i thought i got rid of my typos...

The Admirabilis are going to become important in the story again. I can feel it. Phos will realizes that everything Aechmea said about the slug's history is suspicious and she says she'll fly to meet Sensei but actually she'll change the course of her lunarian cloudship to fly straight to the ocean and negotiate with the Admirabilis and find out what's going on and hatch a plan to kill all lunarian scum, and by killing them I mean trapping them inside some kind of jail where they will suffer the pain of existence for all eternity, because that's what they deserve.

Phos kidnapped Paddy to heal him. By showing off Paddy's torso it proves he has been healed and it proves his identity to those who may have doubts. That torso is a marvel of lunarian technology and good wills. It's a negotiation tool. It's lunarian propaganda. It's sexy.

It's not consistent with pre- and protohistoric societies but it's roughly accurate. Hell, they don't even have fire and they build no means of transportation so they didn't even discovered the wheel.

>This whole plan has to be your own decision entirely
>Why did you capture the Admirabilis to begin with?

Nice little game here. Phos finally asks THE question and does so rather casually as a way of extorting the information he needs, turning the table on Aechmea
>see it's your decision and the responsibility over slugs lies with you
>like hell nigga, lay out the plan that YOU initially had for them so my decision can at least resemble an informed one
Aechmea then makes a callback to the human recreation project and this could be the end of it since he technically answered Phos's question already, but goes on to detail his version of the Admirabilis' story in order to avoid the next logical step which would be "why are the slugs non self-conscious" to seep in Phos's mind that he did nothing wrong
>slugs made contact first
>we did them a favor
>their dire straits were unrelated to us
>they asked for deportation
Except Aechmea was maybe too bold and Phos realizes something doesn't check out -remember that Aechmea might be entirely in the dark about Variegatus and the Earth colony. The prince makes an excuse and awkwardly cuts the conversation short regaining the upper hand on Phos, who is reminded that his curiosity to go to the end of the subject might not matter at all if he doesn't complete his mission.
So far Aechmea scored a goal, but what he might not realize that Phos has the means to compare the story he's been told to what has been passed to Variegatus or whichever sapient slug he can talk to.

I didn't think of your interpretation, but it's made clear that even the sheet itself will dissolve once they land so the only way to read that is that the game is to be played during the trip. It's not clear but maybe it could be a reference to our crosswords or maze games.
I guess they'd have no way of checking what really happened with Shiro (unless >they still don't suspect), but I don't think the gems take the plushies with them on patrol -even so, the moonies would probably realize they're inanimate.

The collecting is to be done on the sheet, it's why it's a little game -also Sensei didn't pray for Shiro, did you even read the manga?

WHAT DID HE SAY

FUCK
This is the TL for this

One of my friends generally comes to me for anime recs, and so he was open to it when I told him to watch it the other day. The other two were with him, and just watched at the same time. All 3 want to read the manga now.

>war
Just a casual reminder that Aechmea in ch75 didn't necessarily hint to an oncoming war, because the 'war' is the term that both the gems and Lunarians have used to refer to the current confilct that's been going on for millennia. That's 'the war', the present state of relationships between Earth and the Moon.

Benito!

It's a very faithful adaptation, but some things work better in print than in animation. Antarc being taken was a lot more brutal in the anime though.

Had a friend who used to binge most shows/vidya with me, we even went to a few cons together.
Then he got a girlfriend and had forgotten that I ever existed.
other friends tend to go into a frenzy If I dare mention anything that resembles 'moe'.

Is it true the anime ends somewhere different than the manga? Like an anime-only ending?

>Is it true the anime ends somewhere different than the manga? Like an anime-only ending?

not really, the anime just skips a few chapters near the end because including them would mean introducing a new character in the last 10 minutes

No one would stop you, but your work wouldn't get much consideration. Everyone in this thread has already read the TL and then there's the majority of people out there who wait for the PAS one on mangadex that might drop soon, so I'd say it's not particularly needed.

I meant the comic. I've typesetting his translations when I'm able to. Also I requested the comic.

I'm going to admit that I'm a retard who only saw the walls of text and immediately thought about the chapter. But I'm also the one who directed him to the comics you posted so I guess that makes us even

I don't know about you but I'd read both because not everyone translates the same way and sometimes reading multiple versions can be enlightening.

Attached: cinnabar_ass.webm (1280x720, 2.99M)

I don't think it's a direct reference to a specific deity (I might be wrong though). Everything in Lunarian aesthetics has references to Hindu and Buddhist imagery, from the soldiers' outfits making them look like apsara, their weapons that remind of the ones in ones carried by the demons who follow Mara when he descends from the sky. Even the clouds (especially in the manga) are inspired by Buddhist iconography, and your average Lunarian squad carries two of the 8 auspicious symbols (the parasol and the victory banner).
So the central figure on their flying ships always looks like the representations of Bodhisattvas down to a T, but they seem to be artificial at least to an extent, so I believe that the lotus taproots imagery is there to reinforce the idea. I don't know if you're an animeonly, but know that the Lunarians like to plaster absolutely everything with lotus.

Haha such fags can you imagine

Who knows? Assuming the swords are >obsidian, we remain in the dark about Rutile's and the others' tools yet.
Not like forging metal tools necessarily requires big fires, but even if good iron ore was to be found on the island you would assume the gems would try to refine it in some way. Still you have to consider that gems seem to be insanely strong and those with good cleavage and hardness could easily break the rocks bare-handed: maybe their tools are just hematite or limestone? Are sapient minerals using what's basically their non-sapient brothers as tools? How does that work, from a philosophical point of view?

It's like using human hair to make things I guess.

It's more like you found round, brainless embryos in the wild and use them as footballs to be honest

if there's no brain/sapience, it's not a person, it's simply creepy looking meat and you may do what you want with it.

Episode 8 has the best direction and it adds to what was in the chapter rather than just abridging it.

Liquescimus is a perfect unique ED to end the episode and it gives time to let the emotions of the episode resolve themselves.

It's true that the anime has some glaring faults, like it's pacing, but some episodes are legitimately good.

The only real problem I had with the anime is the changes they made to cram shinsha into the last episode. The fact we got shinsha continuing to be emo instead of pic related sickens me.

>that Ruby thing that the vagina cliff ejects when Antarc looks for parts
>just a few inclusions more and it could've been one of the gems, walking around having a good time with the others

Sure it's only logical but it adds to the alien feeling
And did Sensei figure out the gems' origin just by realizing what inclusions were? I don't think we've ever seen him enter the sea

That was done for lazy twinning and I disliked it too.

Cuz you gotta have Phos and Shinsha being angsty on the cliff to both offer an amusing counterpoint to Shinsha being in a vaginal cave at the start and to twin off of the ending of episode 1. How else will people know we're being arty?

MX?

Based

As I understand it, that fanart is a redraw and Mx is supposed to be in place of the original "Mr" that the one with some Jane Austen character originally had (without going into "Ms")
Since it's clear as day that the artist is from T*mbler they had to make clear that it's a thought crime to even imagine that the gems could be refered to with male pronouns used as neutral

oh i see now: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mx_(title)

?

>the only problem I had with the anime is the only real change it made from the manga
That's good then. There are some other minor deviations, like the hibernation chamber being its own building or the dead forest being huge. The only real error I can remember is Jade and Euclase going out to fight with swords when we see Zircon break.

It's especially in poor taste because it has Shinsha once again saving Phos when their relationship has evolved beyond that -in their last conversation in the anime, Shinsha states he does not want or need Phos to save him except Phos once again can't really understand it

It's not like many other libraries are there, but I'm afraid I don't get the question. Ghost doesn't show up in the library in the anime, hell I don't even think that the library itself does either.

Well, that picture proves that the anime's model for the school isn't the same as the manga's. Dia went up a floor in hope of finding Ghost there except he expected to find him in the convalescent centre, not the library. I think whoever made that mistook Aleki's room, which is filled with books and papers for her Lunarians research, with the official library that Lapis used to be in charge of, which is in fact its own room.

If they had Phos in mind for something, I think it would only make sense if they started taking notice after Phos got the shell legs, since that's probably quite unusual and the lunarians definitely saw how quickly Phos got used to them. We still don't really know how far the lunarians would go on making plans around one gem, no matter how interesting that one may be, however.

last for Lapis
