Last week we read volumes 5 to 8, so let's get to volume 9. However, this is not the actual collected edition (which has minor redraws, inner cover etc.), rather just the collection of translated single chapters from Kodansha Afternoon. Thanks to PAS for the translation itself.

Uh, last time Phos convinced a bunch of gems to go to the moon.

I mean, after going there himself and coming back as a secret moon agent.

This is a flashback to chapter 29

I legitimately forgot that PAS used to translate the little character summaries as well, those weren't so bad.
Austin Cooper

Note that Rutile was going to ask Sensei for permission to take Parappa on the moon, not for going there himself. Still, I wonder what his answer would've been.

Something I noticed rereading the older volumes is that they're all 190 pages: so that leaves 44 pages for the last two chapters of volume 10 yet.
Angel Johnson
So what was he trying to do here?

Literally calculating possible outcomes and whether they were compatible with his prime directive.
Chase Phillips
Original is Kongou Daihijishou Jizou Bosatsu.
Luke Smith
Justin Morgan
Rutile feeling like he still wants to go to the moon to get Parappa but was left behind probably had him isolated amongst earth gems as well.
Jack Scott
Note that at this point, the possibility of other gems going to the moon with Phos in the future hasn't been ruled out yet.
Jack Cook
We'll see quite soon that Phos never really though of that.
Andrew Ross
And so, Shinsha learned he liked to be dominated.

It seems that Phos considers the possibility that other gems might defect to his side, but doesn't really care too much at this point, seeing as the intent was always that of shaking Sensei.
Which also makes the gems his pawns.
Gavin Sullivan
Well, maybe not just his pawns, but that definitely shows he didn't care too much about them.

Well, we're halfway now, so I'm going to take a short break.

Rutile is chasing the brats and they are hiding behind Sensei.
Jace Kelly
Maybe. Still, Shinsha felt conflicted because he also wanted to follow Phos on the moon, and here you had Sensei explicitly telling the gems to leave his side.

wakarimasen lol, it's still a few days before some leak starts dropping
It's not unlikely though, given how the latest one ended. 78 is going to be the penultimate chapter in volume 10 too so it'll probably bridge the current situation to a major cliffhanger one.

This is agony. All he wanted was his friend back, but now it can't happen. He still wants everyone else to have theirs back at least, even if he won't ever get his wish.

At least we know now that the eye actually works as a camera as Aechmea said, although it doesn't rule out other functions or the particle relation.

>I've never actually touched a Lunarian before
Is it only Phos who has actually touched a moonie? You would think that they all had at one point or another.
Or is this a reference to how Dia didn't get to touch Shiro?
Julian Myers
does making neccitis more severe count as a worthy contribution?
Isaiah Clark
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
I LOVE PHOS!!!
Angel Martinez
>Nept doing nothing
Phos is actually right about this, if I give it some thought. But from the other moon gems point of view, it doesn't look very good.
Jeremiah Ross
So I recently caught up after not reading a new chapter for about 6 months. Why is Bort being such a cunt and why does everyone else seem to be okay with attacking Phos like that?
Logan Wilson
Phos blushing from Pad's coolness is always cute.
Jace Perry
I wonder if there's any meaning to Aechmea switching to buddhist clothing here.
Kevin Cooper
Cairn was never good.
Justin Rivera
As sad as it is most of the earth gems don’t even see Phos as Phos anymore. Bortz even seems to think Phos is dead like all the other gems taken to the moon and the one sent down during the night raid is a fake made by the moonies.
Adrian Adams

The manga went downhill after Phos went to the moon and I fear there's no chance of a satisfying conclusion to the whole thing.
Josiah Perry
Did Zircon not fall apart at all? I'm a bit surprised, since all the other gems who had a partner leave reacted pretty badly. I guess Yellow hadn't been partners in awhile but still.
I also just noticed that Peridot cracked a little too.
Mason Thomas
Daniel Collins
Zachary Perez
Last month they were out on the 18
Jack Smith
I sorta agree, but I think Phos's story reached its maximum potential without involving the moon. The only other way it could've gone was Phos learning more about the moonies planetside, which would've resulted in the same thing due to the deep obsession with Antarc. I'm glad it didn't go the modern anime route of Phos power creeping and trying to peacmonger both sides into submission.

Do we know that for sure? It would put Vol 10 at only around 160 pages unless the chapter is 40 pages long, while all the other volumes have been almost exactly 200 pages. I'd say we have 2 or 3 more chapters left in the volume.

Volumes 1 to 4 are 188 pages of comic (not counting omake, index, etc)
Volumes 5 onward have been 190. We're at 146 pages right now, with 44 pages to go. It's a given that volume 10 is going to be two more chapters, with 79 being the last.

Phos is way younger than most of them and at that time she was being extremely angry; there was little place for grief.
