Since the Kodansha comics' translated edition of volume 8 is officially out on the stands as of today, let's reread together an older volume as we hope someone is going to rip the new one.
Houseki no kuni/Land of the Lustrous volume 5 storytime

This is around 190 pages so an occasional picture is fine but please abstain from using it as a dump thread
I chose this one to storytime since it's the one where the anime ends
Maybe I could post volume 6 and 7 in the next days as well while we wait for a rip
Such a calm, mature, listening character, I hope nothing bad happens to Rutile haha
Based Reddo bringing the fuwafuwa
>not the beach of beginnings
>not the coastline of conception
etc
Padparadscha staying remembered out of sheer coolness
>that undressing
lewd
I wonder who used to be the doctor before him
Sometimes "that gem" to avoid pronouns is goofier than it should be
I wonder how often did Phos come back there to mourn for Antarc
>I'm back bitches, I dreamt I gave a fuck
>oya oya
Love Parappa's seiyuu, she nails the more masculine impression
>literally changes the subject as soon as possible
He's fully aware of the depth of Rutile's unhealthy obsession isn't he
>ywn get a headpat from Preppydaddy
Love alloyPhos' range of expressions, they very much stand out but it's still Phos and they make comebacks from time to time
>like for example I'd like to suggest Rutile to just cover my holes with my hair but then he would feel retarded
The anime did a great job at rendering this dark to light passage
And the first chapter's done.
Poor Yellow.
>ruchiruu
Another thing that went nowhere
>round robin thing
>Bortz and Zircon, Dia and Yellow are the new couples and that's it
inb4 condom edit
Zircon is peak /cuteboy/
Would stretching exercises even benefit the gems? They don't have muscles.
Zircon training to be the new Ghost
Underrated exchange
God, that hair always blowing in the wind is so unnecessarily dramatic
>waiting until the first threat to make a note about his fighting behavior
I like the visible difference between breathless Phos in the first chapters and now -since you can see it's about dragging the gold's weight now
>NTR hurts just a little bit
Should I pause for a while? The thread's already on page 9.
Not that I mind frequent bumps but a thread literally falling off the board while you're posting sounds like a waste
Oh well, I'm going to bet on some bumps along the way.
>Lexi
it sounds so bad
Let's not think too much about coastal erosion when no other land is supposed to exist
>Yiz
RIP Helio, he knew too much.
Look at me, I'm the sensei now.
See he wasn't so dumb even before Lapis
>all the different lunarians types, models and ships ultimately bore no hidden meaning
hue
God I hate this shading
>[ominous lunarian music intensifies]
This moonie's about to develop a new fetish
In case you were forgetting just how much alloy Phos hosts in his body
Was the 'we don't like to breathe earthly air' ever explained?
Full page 10 lads, bump if you're reading
The anime completely botchered this part for dumb pottery
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
I LOVE PHOS!!!
Sankyuu
>blueballed
he was so close
I can only see Amebutt though
Acceptable rendition of
>fu-a-n?
As much as I liked the anime it really irritates me that we got more emo shinsha shoehorned in instead of Twin Crystal Power.
>that would solve everything
Oh boy
I can see why they did it but if anything it undermined Shinsha's arc
I liked the little recurring gag of his sneaking powers
Where did The optimism go lads? We were supposed to help shinsa get a job. We were supposed to figure out the lunarians and get them to btfo so we could lay in the fields on a sunny day. We were supposed to enjoy comfy winter naps. Where did it all go so wrong?
I mean, not like it went on too long haha
Learning about the real state of the world is distressing and brings suffering and moral conundrums
That said, I'd like the return of some SoL parts, the moon arc got a bit too boring
based diamonds
>found the thread just as I was going to sleep
Hopefully it’ll still be up when I wake up. I’ve been meaning to give the manga another re-read anyway.
>where did all go so wrong?
Well this is part of the answer isn't it
What prevents you from doing so?
Anyway my first plan was doing all the volumes but I changed my mind
1. I'd like to make one thread per day so that would've taken a whole week
2. It takes a long time to post an entire volume because I sure as fuck ain't buying a pass from hiroshimoot
>Benito
Love the detail of the startled gold heel
based Parappa
Halfway through the volume, I'm taking a little break (15~ minutes I hope)
Actually staying away for 15 minutes would've allowed me to bump the thread, maybe I didn't make the right call
Wonder who those three were
Some sort of timeframe wouldn't be bad
I think we just know that Bort's younger than Dia and Shinsha but not exactly how young
This is mirroring Yellow and Zircon's introduction
It doesn't need to be that long either lmao get mercuried fag
I hope we return to the pre moon art
At least someone appreciates Benito
I think it had to do with Ichikawa experimenting with lighter inking a bit too because of the different, clearer lighting on the moon. Chapter 71 reminded me of pre-moon art a bit
The outfits and the neccs definitely got worse though
It's rape time.
Does this work better now that we know how the ships work (a bit)?
God I forgot about how chuuni the sickle looks
>shit just got real
Look at the heels
I bet this would look amazing in animation, too bad s2 never
It's interesting to not what's more likely Ghost and what's Craig
Another short break.
Tadaima
Will Ghost Quartz get gangraped? Find out here!
Is this scene getting mirrored in chapter 70? I never considered it before
Not being able to see Sensei's face really adds to the tension
Imagine the pressure
It'd be nice to elaborate on how his breaking works, he says he's programmed to be unable to an hero but I bet destroying his limbs over and over wouldn't lead to a much different result
>rrrip
Not sure I can picture this given how soft moon ships are
Such foreshadowing.
Does Sensei have the biggest AoE in the series?
Rutile is my favorite gem and I'm kinda upset with how she is now but at the same time I don't really blame her since it's all Phos' fault. Stupid baka gem.
I wonder how many gems suspect something similar is going on. Rutile is very observant but seems oblivious. Maybe Shinsha or Lapis could foresee this?
Good taste, user. He's in a very dark place now but not one he couldn't bounce back from, even if not unscathed. Also did you happen to read this? i.imgur.com
All the clues were nice but I can see how no one was ever to put them together before
Reassembling Ghost must be a bitch
This is heavier than most people realize I think
Also there's a parallel between this scene and the one where Cairo says he's tired of praying and the haze starts to fall
I think this is supposed to be the next day's sunrise?
Fuck, there's all sorts of pictures of English vol 8 appearing online
danke usually waits until there's some sale and doesn't really take requests in the literal sense
What are those giant plants in the pond even supposed to be?
Another sequence that would work great in animation
Sensei stops smiling as much as he does here later
Also I never realized it works as a visual reminder of the time where he sees Antarc saying him to shush about Shiro except it's a continuation of that so that the rotation comes together
For a Gem daddy he makes an awful lot of robots noises
Well there's the boardgame pieces but the rest is literally a sequence of events where he gets accused and then betrayed
Rare Nepti talk
No wonder he waits until he's alone to make those
Accounting for time must get crazy with six moons
Ladd when will Danke upload vol 8?
This probably means Lapis was taken after Phos was born
>7 posts
>all the same ip
this is the lowest of low
He doesn't like people begging so just going to him isn't a good idea. There hasn't been a Tamaya tuesday for a while I think and Houseki no kuni isn't usually a priority of his. So who knows? Maybe the lesson here is that everyone could become a ripper.
Are you a fucking idiot? This is a storytime thread, not a discussion thread. And it's 7 different people, what the hell did you smoke?
Curse of Lapis: activated.
>extra glitzy
Simplistic art is fine even if the dark/light message could get across even with slightly less simplistic art here
>story time
you want to open a thread and discuss pictures go ahead and put it on
Also there's probably the duality of Cairo/Ghost in that page
The way Shinsha gets in Phos's mind so naturally after this exchange is why the anime ending doesn't work
>Chinese music starts playing in the background
Shigoto leads us to our last chapter
Dumbass kept the notebook
>solidity 2
>has to climb sharp rocks just to get out every night
Peak emo
Shinsha's probably the character with the widest shift between feminine and masculine expressions after Phos (and Cringeworm of course)
Wait, this is the same peak where Sensei was dropping his pieces from isn't it
no tatsuki no tanoshii
That scene was less than a year ago yet feels like forever
Sincere Phos is a treasure
Not even Phos realized this was Shinsha trying to protect him
Except he doesn't
Fucking quartzes
That was him asking to partner up or the closest thing to it
Even the butterflies are scared of Ghost
>hurr Ghost forced me to because eye manipulation
Fuck you Karen
Meanwhile Dia got startled and he doesn't know why
Also people who complain about Phos not sharing his worries with anyone else would do well to reread this volume
The face of disaster.
The spiky effect is cool
I wonder how this fights looks like from the moonies' point of view
AND THAT'S WHY BEING A TWO-TIMING SHIT IS BAD
The end.
Preemptively RIP Ghost Quartz, he was a pretty cool guy
Omake because why not.
Support the official release or don't, I don't give a shit as long as we get a volume 8 rip
I wish I could post the inside cover as well but it's like 6 MB and resizing it makes it look like shit
Do whatever you want with this thread, I'll probably storytime volume 6 tomorrow.
It still hurts.
Post it on catbox or something. Also, thanks for the storytime, I appreciate it.
>Whole volume dumped
Someone give this user a medal.
Or perhaps some medication.
where are the comics ripped from?
Usually comixology. They're all up on nyaa by the way.
You almost look cool there, phossy
ITT prediction for next chapter
i predict no dialogue and entire pages dedicated of showing phos's stressed face!
I predict suffering
True, manga is at its best when 80% of each page is covered in text
One of the most powerful pages ever.
Vol 8 on nyaa when?
When they fish them out of the black hole that all the copies on amazon seem to have fallen into
Has the drawanon made any more of these?
When you buy it and rip it yourself comixology.com
>he has trouble with text
damn
Here.
Refresh my memory, was the gimmick "gems in traditional dress of the country where it's usually or mostly mined"?
this page makes me hate Cinnarfag even more
I'm pretty sure.
Thanks for the dump. Hopefully we'll have the suffering end soon.
Phos can't suffer if he's unconscious!
R-right?
>ghost was calm and in the next panel is angry
fucking cringeworm
Built for the Big Human Suffering. Isn't ironic that humans ruin everything even after we've died out?
>not Yiz
>10 haunting PHOtoS taken moments before disaster
>le suffering meme
go read nietzsche or kafka (both overrated though much better than whatever turd ichikawa shits)
she can't even properly convey anguish or pain all the characters whine about MUH SUFFERING 24/7 while trying to appear perfectly stable
nothing about it is deep and your threads are full of garbage circlejerk whatever fanon theory some moron dumps
ok
It saddens me (you) had to shitpost with a TBF pic. I love both and your bait is very low quality. Next time post something interesting, you will always be welcomed in gem threads.
Did you dump the other volumes too? Damn, I missed it. Anyway, thanks for the dump.
>dubs
Houseki no kuni is deep confirmed
I miss their relationship. Rutile actually loved Phos.
>Rutile provided support for the gem through reconstruction
I fucking hate these translations.
Learn Japanese pleb.
>Rutile tries to fight Pad
Is Phos looking up to stop himself from crying?
They've forced themselves into using stilted language, but they can't change it now. I wonder how they're going to deal with Cairngorn turning into a princess
>Might raze the entire landscape and change it in a way you never expected
name your top 5 butcher works
Saya no Uta, Madoka, Thunderbolt Fantasy, Fate Zero (LN) and Kamen Rider Gaim
No, just this one since it's the one where the story progresses from the anime, planning to do 6 and 7 in hopes 8 comes out.
Actually they changed stuff in progress. They started out using 'lustrous' whenever the gems were refered to collectively but that got dropped, also the everypony shit wasn't there at the beginning and a couple of other quirks.
Karen still uses 'ore' for herself and Aechmea mostly calls her 'ano ko', doesn't he?
>saya no uta
good taste
>gaim over psycho pass
>ignoring gargantia
indeed a clown
Psycho Pass is definitely great but I think it's just behind these 5. Also I still didn't see gargantia but I intend to. Gomen butcherbros.
This is such a beautiful and aesthetic series. Not to mention almost all of the artwork is top tier.
>I did have a feeling that this would happen someday
Didn't he say "Did you ever have a feeling this would happen?", in the anime translations, and the old manga translation? Which is correct? Because if this one is correct it's a huge deal with regards to the 29th buddha stuff.
I do too
>eye foreshadowing
>post yfw Alex becomes Sensei at the end
anything with seki tomokazu is great
How do you do that? If it's easy and safe I'll start contributing in a few months after I get a job
>last month's scores
Wait so between this page and the previous one there was a whole months timeskip of Phos learning this stuff?
Wait, Ghost said that? Explains Phos' startled expression.
>rare goshe and morga
Have the drawings been redone for the volume release vs the monthly? It looks far better than I remember, and it was pretty good beforehand or is it just the meds
>There hasn't been a Tamaya tuesday for a while I think
>safe
You may get a papercut.
thanks, m8
this face, it's the same as the autism cap face.
>who those three were
Maybe this is what killed Chryso.
Benito is so pretty holy fuck
It always bothers me that gems can turn their necks that far.
this sequence is one of the best in the series.
The hole above the ball is probably a small opening in an invisible part of the ship above.
The way he's holding his eyebrows definitely looks more like Craig in thie panel.
It does seem like that. Also the way Craig holds the weapon is similar.
That fucking arm was cut off again here.
Alex new boyfriend. Sorry Yellow.
Foreshadowing for what?
>How could I not?!
By focusing on saving Ghost instead of watching Sensei, maybe?
Considering that Sensei can break people with sound or breath, I think most of the gems believe that he's using the force of pushing the air to destroy the ships.
Lapis probably knew though. I feel like Lapis had slightly more knowledge than pre decapitation Phos, before he died.
>focus on the hand again.
>No. I didn't mean to. I would never...
>That's right. It was just a coincidence. Really!
this makes me suffer.
>All alone
>same sequence with the warped walls but without hallucination-Antarc
pottery
>Ghost's face in the last panel
He's having flashbacks to Lapis isn't he? We know that Lapis didn't involve Ghost too much in his investigation shit, from what Craig says about Lapis keeping secrets for centuries.
>he doesn't
>fucking quartzes
wait, who are we talking about here
>Ghost being aggressive about helping Phos
Lapis really fucked him up didn't he?
"Don't do that Phos, you'll die-"
>Phos makes 1 lapisface
>"Yes Phos I'll do anything"
Yep.
I support the official japanese release.
Thanks for the storytime user!
Wait, that's drawanon?
>Hey helio, are you feeling well put together today?
Yeah.
I thought it was a different drawanon to drawanon. these threads had many drawanons around the anime airing and the months that followed
Mai waifu.
Maybe he was preparing for whatever Phos might say.
I just found out that thing with Rutile hitting Jade with a hammer early on wasn't just Rutile teasing Jade, jade in real life really does make a specific sound when you hit it with a hammer.
It was definitely Rutile teasing Jade though.
Phos trusted in Ghost.
It's not as bad as the 'everygem'.
>pic
Are you a scholar?
It's good to be proven wrong then.
>I'll be back
I meant he doesn't actually come back because he gets a partner immediately after. Shinsha isn't to be seen for the whole vol 6
Phos trusted Ghost and he got taken so he doesn't really trust anyone else after that. His relationship with Cockgrab is all kinds of twisted because of that.

Oh shit! ICHIKAWAAAAAAAA!!
Good taste, a shame about what happened.
I wonder how Ghost would feel about Laphos or MoonPhos.
