Suffering
As per usual, expect a full chapter drop on the 24th, if the other people drop the chapter sooner, I will drop their images.
Houseki no Kuni is criminally underrated, holy fuck.
I'd like to find out just wtf Yellow is thinking/doing.
This isn't your standard moondicking
this is advanced "where is my mind"
The inclusions in their buried fragments will infect the land, causing all gems born henceforth to share the same goal.
I wish these cute rocks could be happy.
I wish Ichikawa would do comfy spinoff art or stories, her designs are too good for their fates
Translating Kongo->Adamant is fucking stupid and needs to stop. It doesnt translate to his "real name" like Kongo does and he isnt even a gem.
I AM JUST HERE TO ASK
ARE THE ROCKS FEMALE OR NOT
CAN I STICK MY DICK IN
Well they don't have holes except for a shallow mouth, so no you can't really stick your dick in them. They're for cuddling only.
How can NuGoshe be so fucking elegant even when she's hibernating?!
Sorry, OldGoshe
WE
ARE THE CRYSTAL GEMS
forget Dia, Goshe is the top model
It's not, pretty much anyone who manages to overcome their autistic hatred of cgi rates it very high. It's not very popular, but that's a different thing in my opinion.
Cuddling a rock doesn't sound all too comfortable
Never forget best gem
If the rocks are able to move, they must be flexible to some degree.
Are the rocks supposed to be male or female. I am so confused.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
I LOVE PHOS!!!
Yeah but could you resist cuddling these minerals?
I want to cuddle with Phos! I don’t care how uncomfortable it may be!
it's still too early for leaks, but thank you for making a thread.
yes
Rocks don't reproduce by human means. They don't really have a gender. I think of them as females, because most of them have feminine forms and mannerism.
>Phos density = ~3 kg/L
>Phos guessed volume = ~45 L
>Phos weights ~135 kg/ ~298 lb.
IMAGINE
I want to CRASH DIAMOND
I'm scared of it, why if Yellow do some crazy moonie shit?
WITH NO SURVIVORS
I want to lick gems
I can't see him taking the moondick like Crobblegack did, he's too old and senile, too tired of living to go full retard. He knows the pain of existence in a similar manner to the moonies, so he won't be seduced.
I'm a bit worried that he'll be somehow lobotomised though, like a moonie found out how to make him forget his past 3000 years and regress into a child-like gem at peace, kinda like how alzheimers turns some bitter adults into smily potatoes after forgetting the pain but before forgetting how to breath
>gemtits
gross... m-more
you asked for gem tits, this is your punishment
I want to be crushed by Fezfoofilite
That is worse, thank you so much.
A-are they merging with her clothes?
Hrrrrrrnnnnghh Sensei, I'm trying to fuck Rutile but I've dummy tits and the clap from my udders keeps waking up Bortz
Lapis is the prettiest.
I agree, and flat lapis is best
Gem-cosplay user/legslut, write this down. Once you get out of the hospital you need to get on the protein and bloat 300lbs for max authenticity.
I'm trying to cosplay moon phos, I'll post pics in a few months but I'm not sure what i'll do about the hair.
You can just cosplay headless Phos instead.
Go away cairnmea.
Thank you so much
So, will Phos be present in this chapter?
Post moonies who are literally you.
I don't have any moonies saved
oh wait
Heeeeey, it's that the Alex comission someone posted the sketch a while ago? Do you have link for the pic???
Hoooooo boi. Thanks!
b-blue nipples...
Isn't the next chapter the last of volume 10? I expect it to end on a pretty heavy cliffhanger so i guess whatever yellow has in mind is gonna be game changing and phos will still be dead
What i want to know it's the cover for volume 10. I have no idea of what is it gonna be....
Benito dies.
This would be god tier if the chest was flat and the crotch not in such a wide cameltoe. Toe should be subtle, not camelknee.
I'll kill you first. Benito is literally the embodiments of common sense in this shit show. If Benito dies, everyone dies.
what if Obsidian ends up saving Phos on behalf of the moonies
I need to practice, request a gem for me to draw
this is good.
ALEX.
headless phos
Phos's remains will be used for powder
NuMorga? Also cute Euc butt.
Draw paperweight-kun
Phos but as pic related
GAS THE MOONIES!
Are there any theorys about the 6 impacts or has no one given them much thought?
I'm guessing Carrotcake. She's been pretty absent from covers.
I thought they were supposed to represent the Ages of the Dharma
Bacon-chan is still the best gem
done!
I'm doing these tomorrow!
Finally I'm free from my ban, no one will stop me from Phosposting now
I like how it is, honestly. People that give it a watch usually ending up loving it. It's better than a lot of the popular shit, but it still remains a "hidden gem" of sorts.
>Post red gems
ooh v. nice
could you do one of sensei standing on the cliff facing down the moonies, like the top panel in mangadex.org
.... can we even still consider phos phos? I mean she has a different head.
But she still has the same kuni
Thats why shes Green, or Blue, Kumiko. But actually shes just dead now.
Not really, at least on Yea Forums. You see a lot of other good manga series get barely any discussion since they don't have an adaptation
One theory I've heard is that they represent the major extinctions Earth has had over its history rather than 6 actual impacts, but that's the kind of distinction that doesn't matter too much before we know more about them
Dead gems and Phos who conveniently died at the end of this volume.
>Phos' remains are used for powder
>Phos takes over the bodies of all gems
It could be worse.
it's intended to be adamant
and he is a gem you mongoloid, he breaks tiny gem pieces of himself off to fight with
Catch up with the manga user.
he's a prayer machine made of gem -> still a gem
He is only made of gem on the surface, and he isn't a "gem" in the sense of the species of gems in universe. When you say "gem" in Houseki no Kuni you mean the fully mineral lifeforms that are born/occur naturally. Sensei was built by humans, and his insides are machinery.
It's made explicitly clear that he is the one unique being in the story, separate from the three races.
About the Adamant vs. Kongou thing, Adamant is the best approximate translation for Kongou so I don't really mind.
That's actually really cute.
>being this wrong
Kongou literally translates as adamantine, as the Japanese term is a direct translation of the Sanskrit 'vajra', it's not a "real" first name as we XXI century humans would intend it. Kongou is not only a buddhist-specific term which is rendered as adamantine in all the compound words, but carries the implied idea of "material of diamond-like quality" and "shaped as a diamond and/or thunderbolt, therefore durable and quick".
This is all immediately clear to a Japanese ear in reading 'kongou', and should carry over in translation.
Hobo Rutile.
Probably not with the possible POV shift to Yellow.
The fact that the presence of six moons is mostly treated as an afterthought with little to no narrative presence seems to be hinting at a symbolical value rather than leading to some plot twist or reveal down the road. So far it's been mostly read as
>a way to signify we're impossibly far in the future
>a nod to the six major extinctions of earthly life
>a symbol for the six realms of existence, as in the moons are meant to represent the wheel of samsara while the earth (or at least the dry land) is supposed to be the pure land
The last one seems to be the most prevalent, given that what we've seen of the moonies checks all of the tickboxes for the six traditional forms of rebirth (plants, animals, hungry ghosts, humans, demigods, divine beings)
>it's not a "real" first name as we XXI century humans would intend it
Its literally the Japanese version of his original name that was given to him. Its his name and shouldnt have been altered.
you just proved his point
congrats on playing yourself
I think we're only going to stick with Yellow long enough to see that he has stopped caring.
I like this a lot user! Keep up the great work
Vajra Mahametta Ratana Ksitigarbha is Kongou Daijihishou Kizou Bosatsu in Japanese translating to Vajra, the Bodhisattva of Loving Kindness. The Bodhisattva being referred to is Vajra, which is the name that was given to him. Changing it to Adamant is like calling someone named Troy "Ancient City" or Trojan.
nope, try again
I like how watching video clips, listening to the soundtrack or looking at fanart makes me feel melancholic.
>Putting your fingers in your ears and go "LA LA LA LA LA!": the post
Why still no season 2?
The show is good and fresh.
Fuck.
Orange is doing Beastars.
>Orange is doing Beastars.
>it's real
Fucking furries.
We furro now.
>Kongou Daijihishou Jizou Bosatsu
That's a Buddhist name, not as "a name that's Buddhistic in origin", I literally mean that it works as those posthumous names that's merely symbolical and meaning-based that Japanese Buddhist priests assign, except it's meant to sound like a deity's.
Kongou Daijihishou Jizou Bosatsu translates as "Adamantine, crystal of great mercy, the Jizo bodhisattva".
Look, I'm not trying to sound antagonistic, so the point is that the meaning behind the name Kongou should definitely be conveyed in translation because it's entirely transparent in Japanese while also acting as a 'real' name because the gems don't know that, but Aechmea does, he literally explains it: if you don't feel like translating it (which I can't see why wouldn't be the case), one should at least explain it in a TL in every volume.
Dumb example but it's like using "Jesus Christ" without explaining that Christ isn't his name (although it's USED like one by apostle Paul) but is actually the translation of a title meaning Messiah. If you miss "Christ=Messiah" you lose a piece of the puzzle.
Hey the manga is pretty good.
More than an actual POV shift toward Yellow alone I think it'll be the POV allowing us to see what's going on on the moon from a non Karen-based perspective. All of the moon gems have been given some more depth, but one of the reasons why moon chapters felt dull is that none of them is particularly driven to do anything.
Sure, 84 can now learn about moon tech but it's not like he'd have a reason to go in-depth after learning how to pilot a ship. If Yellow's going to be put in charge of the reconstruction program after all, we'll know he'd stop at nothing.

Cute gay gems
Shame that this artist likes Phos - Cinnabar so much when that shit is deep in the Mariana Trench.
catch up with the manga, user
shinsha was blushy crushy for phos in the last chapter
>crushy
Its pretty atmospheric, and very interesting. One of those things that makes you want to find out "more" about the world, and wtfs going on.
But it's not flashy and ra ra POWER OF FRIENDSHIP style so most of the kiddies don't like it, and also "muh CGI" of course.
They just wouldn't get the gems looking right otherwise.
I call him what I want faggot, and now I will call him Shitsha
She wasn’t though. She was completely indifferent to him and only blushed when the other gems complemented her.
Will Phos' stronk inclusions make him fuse with the ground? We would have an army of phos like this.
>if you don't feel like translating it (which I can't see why wouldn't be the case)
I don’t know how many times I need to explain this. It’s a name. It’s like when people translate Aria-San to Common Racoon in Kemono Friends. It’s just not right. Every Japanese name has a literal meaning that anyone that knows Japanese can pick up but you still don’t go around translating them.
Kongou is Vajra, one in the same. Adamantite isn’t even a real thing. Sure, neither is Antarctite but Kongou isn’t even a gem.
Not unless they can fuse with wood, which would be pretty weird to say the least. I don't think Phos will be in the ground long enough for the boxes to break down, either.
>Antarcticite isn’t a real thing
user...
Fantastic work user. You honestly deserve more (you)s.
>alexandrita
More (tú)s.
You're the Shinsha-Cinnabar fag aren't you?
If a character is called by a descriptor instead of a name, the descriptor should be translated. The gems and Sensei in Houseki no Kuni don't have names in the traditional sense, they have descriptions. This is made especially clear when Rutile questions whether LaPhos can even be called Phos anymore because there isn't much Phosphophyllite left in his body.
Kongou's name directly refers to a material which is the hardest thing in the world, and Ichikawa's intent by calling him that was to instantly inform Japanese readers that he is in fact made of the hardest material in the world.
English speakers won't know that because they don't speak Japanese, and so it must be translated, or at least given a TL note. The only approximate translation we have is "Adamant", so it's a sufficient translation.
Additionally, here's a bottle of irl Antarc.
that's just bad photoshop lmao

Gay moon rocks.
You were already given plenty of reasons why even if you're quoting the only part of the post that's convenient for you to quote, but I'll entertain you
>It’s like when people translate Aria-San to Common Racoon in Kemono Friends. It’s just not right.
Except it is
>Every Japanese name has a literal meaning that anyone that knows Japanese can pick up but you still don’t go around translating them.
It's a false equivalence because those are actual first names.
>Kongou is Vajra, one in the same. Adamantite isn’t even a real thing
What does that have to do with anything? No one claimed it is.
That's really cool. Now throw it into the grinder.
By your logic, we shouldn't translate the other character's names either.
So this story is about Fosufofiraito, the houseki from the chikyuu, trying to find a tanoshii shigoto for shinshya. On the way he interacts with Yeroo and Ruchiru and fosufofiraito no nakama, Antaakuchisaito, gets taken to the tsuki. fosufofiraito gets very kanashii and makes friends with Goosuto Kuwaatsu, but Goosuto Kuwaatsu gets taken to the tsuki too, and leaves behind Kaangoomu. Also Jirukon gets envious of Fosufofiraito.
Then Fosufofiraito looses his atama and gets Rapizu Razuri no atama instead, then he goes to the tsuki and meets with Eekumea. Then he comes back to the chikyuu and takes Daiamondo and Areki and some more tomodachitachi to the moon.
I'd read this. Striborg can go take a hike.

If you got through this thread, you can definitely handle it.

Because half-translated stuff is best.
Here's the script for Lapis page.

Oh man I love this fresh madness.
I can't explain why, but I've got an intense dislike for this artist. I find this art technically well-done and cute enough, but the style irritates me. Maybe I've rewired my brain into instinctively hate Korean shit? Or I don't find the models suited for houseki?
It's the best choice for ironic watching.
It's indistinguishable from native Japanese. Perfect.
Reckon that would sound any good in a british slightly-posh accent? Those words look ripe to ruin
Go ahead, it'll probably sound great.

I sincerely don't get why this ship is so popular for people who actually read the manga.

Lapis vs Euclase gaiden when?
Lapis vs Euclase amateur gay porn when?
this
Or any pair of gems having gay sex would do really. It's an untapped market
It would likely turn out that both of them were really professional about not liking each other and kept it to themselves since they wouldn't have many reasons to interact anyway (with Lapis being secluded in the library or on patrol and Euclase staying around the school to make plans and writing down stuff). Both Lapis and Euc strike me as very 'adult' gems which wouldn't go farther than the occasional snarky remark. We've seen Euc be particularly considerate whenever he has to express his opinion and Lapis was borderline autistic and had Ghost fawn over him.
The recent shit show in the manga can be attributed to the fact that nobody listened to Euc
If Phos always listened to Euclase he probably would've never gone to the moon so sometimes bad decisions are needed to move forward
Because the small fans of this anime are obnoxious as fuck.
Yea Forums is proof of this since I can't have a decent conversation about this series with you pretentious fucks.

This pic leaves me wondering. Is the moonie assfucking Red Alex? Does he lift the balls to do it? Or is the semen pool the result of them fucking regular Alex in the gempussy and then she transformed? Truly intriguing.
Pretty sure they're conducting research on Red Alex's cum output through different kinds of stimulations, because I know I would

LEAKS WHERE
Tomorrow I guess.
but it is already tomorrow user, it's like 4 am on the west coast, i just woke up
Would anyone be interested if I hosted an RP/tabletop of sorts for houseki on /qst/?
I heard someone mentioned there was something like that a few threads ago but is now dead.
And that seems like a pretty good idea honestly, it can be fun.
What's the name of this outfit style? Looks like a cross between isekai priest and greek coastal architecture.
Also, yandere LaPhos might be an untapped OC resource.
An user ran a quest for some months suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com
then disappeared for a long time, made a new thread three weeks ago where the quest finally resumed then disappeared again from the face of the Earth without any explanation. It's well worth a read anyway.
That said, tabletop is all about having fun but having a strong idea of general game mechanics and lore: are you an experienced GM already?
Yeah I've hosted a few RPs before but all on discord (more convenient).
I have some ideas about the mechanics but I'll need some time to make them work and get the general outline done, I'm planning to port the rules from a homebrew and adjust them a bit.
There will be stats and such but it will rely more on your wit to get out of certain situations, kind of a creativity trumps most thing under a stern rule and the base game rules to hold it together.
I have no idea how I'll do updates though if it's not gonna be a live session but rather waiting for the replies to amass (for example if a few gems won't show up for a long time)
Phos could only be a yandere towards Antarc, who is fucking dead.
Benito?
>post bort
Phos was arguably yandere for Antarc, but he seems to have finally accepted that Antarc is dead, so he isn't really yan to anyone at the moment.
Maybe in the SEA ARC SEA ARC SEA ARC he'll become yandere for the slugs?
I never liked Shinsha. She is worst gem.
If Phos is going to be spending any significant amount of time with them, their inevitable slaughter will make him at least mildly upset
So since gems eat, they also poop right?
> t. Benito
They don't eat. When Phos got goop stuffed in his mouth by Aechmea, it just poured out again afterwards.

Considering most of the gems have been around for thousands of years, how come they've had no no technological advancement at all? No electricity, no boats to explore the sea around their island, nothing.
In the original, Rome is at war with another city-state, but both sides agree to a 3-on-3 fight of champions rather than a full battle that would kill thousands on each side. Both sides find a family with three boys, and send them off. This painting is of the father offering swords to his saluting volunteered sons, while the women in the family watch on and weep, knowing that they are the champions of the war and thus likely to die.

In much the same way, how come the Lunarians didn't evolve at all? Why do they keep attacking in the same ineffective way time after time?
That butt is too big
The Love Field is total moonie bullshit btw
Sensei did not allow it.

Death anxiety is an extremely motivator of progress.
*effective motivator
Aechmea mentions something about Sensei keeping their technology level limited, which seems plausible given that Sensei has at least knowledge of modern physics. They're a limited group of immortals whose needs are essentially limited to having sufficient sunlight and they have very limited resources, so they don't have much reason to develop beyond the essentials for some kind of culture to exist.
Their science is pretty advanced if they're able to synthesize minerals almost perfectly, and if their sunspot ships are a product of science as well. They don't go beyond their normal tactics often because they don't need to, they just need to give the impression that they aren't actually in complete control of the situation and take gems every once in a while to keep up the pressure on Sensei.
Part of the idea of the gems is that they don't really change over time, partially thanks to their immortality, partially their buddhism, partially their nature.
The split of man into soul, flesh and bone and humanity into lunarian, snailthing and gembutts respectively is involved in this: the flesh eats, sleeps, fucks, births, dies; the bone is permanen, immortal and inflexible; the soul is possessive of 'sinful' characteristics like laziness, possession, desire and vanity.
It's part of what makes Phos so special - his ability to adapt (strong inclusions), recover, and most importantly remain Phos throughout the change - it all comes into showing that Phos isn't 'just' bone in the way that the other gems are, and that his quest to become stronger or better or fix things is a unique characteristic of his, whereas all the other gems are a lot more fatalistic, something probably reinforced by both their immortality and their natural lack of presence 'in the moment'/distinction between past, present and future.
Wait, I've been gone for a while, what happened to him? Is he okay?
Guy broke his neck or something like that.
We went to a con dressed as phos I think and broke his neck
He, not we
I wish I was a brittle gem filled with liquid metal.
I wish I'd get smashed to pieces, with the metal leaking out desperately trying to pull the shards back together.
>faggot gets karma'd
The fact that no one made a "houseki no kani" joke yet proves that you're all casuals
i don't think you heard me so I'll reiterate.
Ahem...
WHEN IS THE NEXT
UNGA BUNGA GEM CHAPTER RELEASE
AAAAAÀAAAÁAAAAAAAÀAAAAAAAAAÁ
leaks whenever the chinks drop them, chapter on the 24th tls 25th or 26th usually
I didn't know I needed catphos in my life until now
They pretty much tried everything after countless millennia
After the gems started to spawn, some of the moon people's plans started to involve them as Aechmea explained. WHen they ascertained that they couldn't get them to cooperate, their main plan to shake sensei started to involve the kidnapping and grinding of the gems to make the moons the literal houseki no kuni, while still trying to influence Sensei in every possible way (try to capture him, sending down Shiro, the board game, the professor clone).
This is the way an infinite wait fucks with your brain.
Is other gems as cats also acceptable?
That'd be really easy to do if someone had the art assets for it.
absolutely
>tfw want to voice lapis but britanon is already too perfect
p-post it
there is something really erotic about Phos getting shattered with the gold leaking out everywhere
It's moon magic, I ain't got to explain shit.
ahhh
don't you mean
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
?
yay
cute voice user. defnitely a contrast from brit voice user
I wasn't expecting this to be so popular with girls
>girls
those aren't girls user, they're girl (male)
yes and?
I mean hey the author herself is a woman. Plus the cast is made up almost entirely of cute gems who have close relationships with each other, similar to shoujo.
Help me understand something in the history introduction that Phos recites in chapter 1 and Sensei narrates in episode 2 (assuming there's 0 difference): what is the bit about "lifeforms suited to the empty land appearing on shores"?
Humans are mentioned as "the lifeforms that flourished in the time of one moon who fleed to the ocean" so it does sound like there's another factor at play. Could it be talking about Sensei-like robots?
Also, how do we go from micro-organisms eating the humans' remains to those remains being incorporated into rocks? Is there a missing link with shelled proto-slugs, which then evolved into fleshy ningen slugs and sedimentary ningen rocks eventually crystallizing back on land?
It happens a surprising amount that series nominally published in publications aimed at a certain demographic end up being popular with others. Like some shounen series having large female audiences and shows like Precure explicitly having both young girls and older men as a known audience.
dust the gems earthwar now!
bugs and shit
I think the lifeform suited to a barren world part is just talking about the gems. Until we get a more detailed answer, I think we're just supposed to take that some of humanity turned into the admirabillis, and the remains of humanity that died were eaten by microorganisms which then incorporated themselves into minerals and birthed the gems. There's clearly something else going on, probably involving Sensei, but we're not getting that exposition any time soon. I don't know about more Sensei like robots specifically, but maybe something else made by humans could turn up?
Hate to say it bro, but you sound gay.
Thanks. It's pretty embarassing though.
Well, yes, this is a gemthread afterall.
i like how you pretend this shitshow is deep when it isn't
It's cute, that's what it is.
be my lapis
but do try speaking a little more slowly
Bugs are organic though, it still doesn't explain how you get to the mineral formations. I mostly asked because that could be a lead toward the idea of how can humanity be reformed. We've already seen the weird results of a slug eating a gem in Phos being able to understand them as well the ice floes.
>I think the lifeform suited to a barren world part is just talking about the gems.
It literally can't be the gems though, since that's a chronological narration explaining how they came to be and the gems haven't appeared yet. That's why I asked if there's been any speculation.
Well it's definitely popular with girls, but don't let the anons here fool you. Even drawanon, the "confirmed" girl said he was a dude last time this was discussed.
that was clearly a joke, user
Gold might add another 100 kg, if not more. Gold is really fucking dense.
Looking at the manga it's worded a bit differently, it makes it a bit more clear that it's referring to all the life we see on the island and the gems are a result of the original organisms fleeing the land.
Maybe they mean the slugs?
Yeah, but it's the
>appeared
that made me suspicious. We don't see anything on the island that doesn't already exist in our world, and the wording seems to imply that you have the humans on one hand and something else on the other. We know it's humans who created Adamant and humanity already knew about the unpurified spirits lingering around. I know it's a stretch, but it could be a hint that a robots-moonies link caused humanity's final extinction if you count the robots as lifeforms.
It can't be the slugs either, as those only formed after humanity's final demise in the sea. Also we can assume it's Sensei who wrote the history, and he doesn't seem to know much about the slugs if anything at all.
The catastrophes that Sensei mentioned could've destroyed the atmosphere such that sufficiently aerobic organisms like humans cannot survive on land; there's already plenty of vegetation on land but it's probably not enough to sustain them.
Eh, I think there's a pretty good chance that Sensei was somehow implicitly involved in humanity's extinction or for how they split into separate forms, but I would have thought something would have turned up by now if there were lots of robots present at some point.
I love Bort.
He's so stylish
he must have miss spoke you sound hot
How about now?
Density of gold is about 19, so more than 6 times higher than Phos. Of course with gold and mercury in this show all logic must be abandoned, as it doesn't seem to obey conversation of mass even remotely. It just appears out of thin air as needed by the plot and disappears again later.
Cinnabar has a density of 8, by the way, so nearly three times as heavy as most other gems.
That too, the emphasis on water is always strong in the origin stories we've had. I didn't think of that before, but humanity having to flee because the new lifeforms were like toxic bacteria or something seems to make a lot of sense too given that the wording could also imply causation.
Agree, I was just speculating heavily, but now I can't shake the feeling that the bit about "lifeforms flourishing in a barren land" is going to be revealed as relevant by the time we learn what actually happened with humanity because it feels so unneeded to the narration's point.
>Cinnabar has a density of 8, by the way, so nearly three times as heavy as most other gems.
In other words, Shinsha is A FUCKING FATASS
are they ok?
>yfw shitsha can't go to the moon because is too heavy
Not fat, just really dense bones.
>tfw Fatsha will never sit on your face
Worst gem Fatsha strikes again.
I watched this 2 weeks ago. One of the very few anime that made me not think a single time about it since I finished it. Can't believe how badly it did not leave a mark on me. Even bad anime tend to get some thoughts out of me from time to time, but trying to think of something memorable about HnK just makes me shrug.
you gay bruh
I'm straight as fuck actually. I think it's just a very forgettable show.
>I'm straight as fuck actually
sounds like something a gay person would say
this is a gembutt thread
you are gay now
you're gay now
It's impossible to not be gay for this ass
Antarc is so pretty
I'm working on a phos cosplay just so I can find an antarc bf at a con desu
Watch your neck.
It's actually a moon phos cosplay desu but thats because the moon outfit is hot af, I want to wear high heels and I like blue short hair much more than the green.
oh wait you're referring to the guy who was in the hospital not phos losing their head right?
Disgusting
With every passing day the only meaningful cosplay seems to be an Aechmea one in order to hunt around a con to turn you faggots either into heterosexuals like Karen or into gemdust
Gay isn't okay
get out
Why is Antarc wearing Phos as an earring?
Good question.
Better than Phos getting Antarc die
>Shitsha earring
>Phos earring
I finally understand this picture.
Meaningful question before the thread dies: is Monthly Afternoon out on the 25th this month too?
What does it mean, user?
should be, barring anything unusual
Yes, I just checked.
I'm perfectly aware that the use of
>sasuga Shinsha
can more or less functionally translate to "you are so smart", but I hate that it loses the small bit of info implying that the other gems have already gotten to know him well enough to hold his intelligence in high esteem when the younger ones basically knew next to nothing about Shinsha
Will we get a fucking magazine cover this time?
Being gay for a rock = very cool
Being gay for 3DPD males = very uncool
Arigatou, I recall a monthly publication not coming out on Saturdays but I wasn't sure whether it was Afternoon. Instead that's the one which takes the Sundays off not to overlap with the weekly
Don't worry, they're only hibernating.
Bless Red Beryl
delete this
best gem desu
And thus the chapter ends
