Status Updates From Land of the Lustrous, Vol. 7

I really don’t know what to expect. Except that it’s going to be great. I love this manga so much!

I can’t believe Phos really went and dead it. But I can’t wait to see the moon. I wish Cinnabar had gone with them. But still Lapis Lazuli is there (in spirit at least) with them. I respect Cairngorm so much for going along with the plan, especially after sacrificing everything to protect Phos. I really like them. Seeing the journey from the sky perspective was brilliant. Bort and the others chasing them was sad

Sensei is lying. No way he’s not a human. Or maybe he s not. I don’t know. I hate how hard he is to read. I’m surprised that he even answered Phos’s inquiries. Without getting angry. I don’t know how to feel about this.

I feel sad that Ventricosus is gone and this is one of their descendants. But I’m glad Phos has become a legend there and they still keep that story of origin about the humans and all. The scene about the forgiveness was so wholesome, I love Phos. Lapis Lazuli is hinting that Phos should go to the moon. The Admirabilis want to invade the moon. I don’t like it but it makes sense. I’m scared.

“Doctor” huh? I find the fact that it resembles Rutile quite unsettling. Is sensei the one who creates the gems? If so it’d make sense for him to shape them into people he knew right? I don’t know anymore. And is that Ventricosus? If so then we’re so back! I can’t believe Phos went and confronted sensei, it’s madness. But I kinda get it. It is frustrating! I don’t know where things stand with him.

I am really losing it

Cinnabar is really smart but sensei is very careful. He really can’t lie to save his life but he’s good (or not so good really) at avoiding answering questions that pertain to the world. And lastly, what the hell was that thing that the triple Lunarians had dropped off? What is going on? Can they stop? Is it just sensei training them for something and increasing the difficulty each time? Is this all a simulation?

Who the hell talked then? It’s smart of Phos to go ask around about their little excursion to the sea but of course no one remembers all the details. Rutile and Yellow were there and heard the word “human” I wonder if they remember it still but were afraid of sensei/changing the status quo or if they truly don’t remember anything at all. And of course, all the roads lead to Cinnabar.

The Lunarians have holes in their neck, interesting. I think Phos having Lapis’s analytical mind will help a lot in her quest. And who spoke at the end?
P.S. I love the title of this chapter so much (An Old Tale Heard in the Sea) it’s so poetic.

Goshen and and Morga were captured and taken to the moon? Oh, I feel gutted. And there are a new Goshen and Morga born before Phos woke? This is insane. It is interesting that Phos is starting to think and act a bit more like Lapis. It’s interesting!

102 years is an insane amount of time! Phos had been in a coma for a century. It is good that it is still Phos. But it is also good that some traces of Lapis Lazuli still live on inside Phos! And for Lapis to remind Phos of all the important things to remember (an old tale heard in a distant sea, sensei’s soliloquy, sounds made by the Lunarians) I like Lapis already and I hope that one day will get their body.

I love Red Beryl! They’re the coolest! I love how invested they are in fashion.

First of all, I love this cover so so much! It’s very pretty and it’s also horrifying. It’s wonderful! Second of all, I can’t believe they went through with it! It is concerning that Phos still hasn’t woken up yet. Cairngorm trying to detach their own head to give it to Phos was unsettling! These gems are not alright. I loved seeing (almost) everyone around Phos’s bed, I love them all so much.

i have sinister feelings about lapis’s head
