And I really love the art! It’s so beautiful! The artist’s grasp of lighting and shadows is insanely good! I really love it. And I cannot wait to read the next volume (I’ll keep for tomorrow!) what a great story!

I’m glad that Cinnabar pointed out that Phos lacked a plan going forward if their suspicions about sensei are correct. It’s good that Phos decided to go and ask them. I really love the details in this manga, Cinnabar is keeping Phos’s notepad in her cave, Padparadscha is wearing the new dresses they all have (even though they’d been asleep for centuries) it’s so cool.

You can’t do this to me! What a cliffhanger! I hope Phos is alright! Ghost is there (with a scythe of all weapons) so it might be alright. I didn’t expect this pairing but I’m enjoying it. It’s very cool to see different characters and their dynamics! I really love the characters in this manga, all of them are very interesting! Speaking of, a Phos and Cinnabar team would be great! I can’t wait to see it!

But how could he heal himself? and so quickly? I have so many questions.

I love Ghost too! The new Phos is so gentle and kind, I really like this new version of them. I am saying this as someone who loves the old version too. Sensei is very interesting. I don’t know if I can read him. “Despicable” he said…that was an interesting word choice. But he’s faking it. He pretended that the crystals were part of him to let Phos believe that but it’s not the case I think.

This is getting dark. But I understand Phos’s desire to know. And because they didn’t help Ghost we got to see Sensei break parts of his arm (which surprisingly turned out to be crystals) and throw them at the Lunarians and breaking Ghost apart in the process. I’ve always hated his lack of care when dealing with/handling the gems. It’s very unsettling.

Sensei knows about Phos’s interest in the Lunarians and he made a point of letting them know it. I don’t like it. The way he became intimidating when Phos challenged his command was tense. I can’t believe Phos reached for their sword. I love them so much!

It looked like the Lunarian was under some kind of mind control spell or something but Amethyst 33 and 84 sliced their head clean off before Phos could figure out more. And it is a bit weird that only Phos heard the sounds that Lunarian made. Zircon going from being afraid of Bort to chasing them around with combs was quite funny. I’m interested to see what Phos finds out by going with the sensei(I don’t like it)

Alexi knows so much! And of course, they took another gem, Chrysoberyl (before Phos was born). I haven’t thought about the fact that Phos forgot everything she’d learned (or at least most of it) it sucks. What Phos did at the end was so bold, I can’t wait to see what comes of it (if anything).

First of all, Bort is so cool! I like this arrangement of everyone training with them. Second of all, Yellow is having suicidal thoughts (I believe it’s because of the survivor’s guilt) but then again so so does Cinnabar, and Dia too (to some extent if a remember correctly) and Padparadscha too. It is concerning.
