Come and join! For tonight we are gonna see drama, suffering and chiseled butts.
>What is Houseki No Kuni?
A Manga from author Haruko Ichikawa. 28 genderless Gem People are the only habitants of the land in the far future, and they must defend themselves from the mysterious attackers that come from the Moon to capture them. Phos, the protagonist, is completely useless. Adamant, their leader, asks him to make an encyclopedia which kicks a series events that make him start to discover whats going on with the world they are living in.
What we saw so far:
>Phos gets chosen to make an encyclopedia. He meets Cinnabar, who wants to fucking die, and decides to find a job for him.
>Phos befriends an Admirabilis, Ventricosus. Admirabilis are used as slaves by the Moon People. Ventricosus tells Phos about the Humans and their myth of creation. She tries to sell Phos to the Moon People and he loses their legs, but they sort things out and she gives him agate legs.
>Phos new legs makes him super fast. Adamant Sensei sends him with the Amethyst twins to see if he learns how to fight. Phos gets too scared to even call for help during battle.
>Due to feeling bad about it, Phos cannot hibernate like the other gems during winter. He is paired up with Antarciticte to defend the sleeping gems from attackers, and loses his arms to the talking ice floes. When he gets an alloy replacement, Moon People attack and take away Antarc.
>Phos gets temporarily partnered up with Bortz since he is now strong. A double sunspot anomaly appears, and from there a giant Moon People who attacks the gems, but they manage to defeat him. Phos realizes the giant was related to Sensei in some way and decides to learn about it by directly trying to talk with the Moon People.

warning: at the start this dump will go extra slow
i reccomend doing other stuff and keeping an eye until i pick up the pace
feel free to bump
Don't mind me just posting best legs now that they finally have a CG render
>>160783605
beautiful
the coolest gem
starting the speedy dump in a short while
i was having dinner
i really love this guy attitude
also, somehow even with all that hair he is one of the few gems i consider "male"
>>160783863
Oh wow looks like my posting of best legs was appropriate
>>160784315
ded
not buying his bullshit at all
>>160784600
Also ded
end of the chapter

>>160784988
>>160785016
>>160785072
>>160784825
>>160784881
>>160784999
I really do like these comedic beats. The minimalistic art style just makes them funnier
>>160785112
reminder that Yellow lost like 7 partners, she is a fucking serial killer
>>160785158
>>160785156
yeah i love the humor. Phos and Cairngorm interactions are the best in that regard.
>>160785207
>>160785363
ITS JOKE
End of the chapter.
notable that the gems actually grow
>>160785646
>>160785682

ALEX-SENSEI
>>160785914
TRIVIA TIME.
Guess what the Lunarian is about to say:
a) Choke me Daddy.
b) FUCK YOU
C)fuck i cant breathe
On to the next chapter. This is what i call the "suspicions" arc or something like that. Because Phos suspects Sensei.
>>160784184
I want to fill her holes
>>160786127
you will have to fight rutile to earn that
these fucking fucks
>>160786367
Like a ghost...
>>160786356
>>160786408
>>160786402
they most likely dont have any idea of what "ghost" means, but sensei does so maybe he named her like that because of that
>>160786454
>>160786499
>>160786546
>>160786601
Eeeend of the chap. We are halfway.
a very short break, have the dramatis personae
>>160786546
aaand we go
>>160787103
>>160787148
>>160787242
Oops
>>160787264
Jeez Bort went full Excorcist with that headpsin
>>160787264
>>160787317
I really like this one page.
>>160787308
he hates incompetence after all
that said i blame Yellow and Dia more than i blame Benito
>>160787360
susprise mothafucka
>>160787471
welp
>>160787511
Damn suspenders
this chapter should actually be titled something like "the opposite"
i guess they picked inversion because its simmilar
>>160787695
ONE PUUUUUUUUNCH
we actually saw sensei doing this since volume 3, when he saved the amethysts
>>160787717
>>160787777
>>160788060
sad phos is sad
end of the chapter
>>160788156
The cracks in their psyche are beginning to show
wonder if i should make this story dumps at this hour or earlier
>>160788189
Phos and Cinnabar seem to be the only two gems that can cry
>>160784651
Rutile is top tier
>>160788373
>>160788341
wanna see if the anime manages the facial expressions correctly
>>160788373
>>160788379
I love the use of light and shadows here
>>160788402
>>160788454
>>160788496
best boy is right there, but we cant see him
>>160788534
>>160788432
its one of my favorite pages because of how that effect complements Phos thoughts
>>160788561
>hmmm, if i only had a genius girl that liked me and felt ostracized and could pair up with me without worries to investigate sensei
>hmmmmm
aaand here he realizes.
Now the last chapter of the volume.
things end with Cinnabar
sorry the sudden slowness
2tsundere4me
cinnabar lost the Phosbowl to a pregnant gem
>>160789423
>>160789455
>>160788712
Damn heels...
>>160788849
Oh hey Phos finally remembered Connabar exists
End of the volume
And there it is, it ends with a cliffhanger. Its a transition volume in some way. The second half of this arc becomes quite more interesting but the sad part is that we are going to hit a low point regarding translations. They get kinda better afterwards at least.
now like always ill bump a few times so that my million of readers dont miss it
>>160789111
More tsundere Cinnabon pls
Where i got this is beyond me but hey, it's Rutile
>>160789894
have highly innapropiate art
>>160789918
The best I can do is provocative
>>160789973
well i have quite the collection, but there is no real lewd hnk art. Its pure as it comes.
>>160790013
And it'll probably stay that way, which is nice.
Anyways, I'm off to bed so good luck on your remaining bumps!
>>160790092
thank you! rest well anon
thanks for being a reader
read
houseki no kuni
Thanks again for your dedication, Anon. Maybe a few hours earlier would be better, it's 12AM PST here.
>>160791029
oh alright then, ill do it at least one hour earlier

Thank you as always for the dump, Anon!
I'm enjoying reading it.
I agree. I think an hour or so earlier might be better.
>>160791183

Thanks as always OP. I hope more people end up reading Houseki no Kuni because of the threads
Thanks OP
>>160789549
both times she forgot him she remembered him a few seconds later and was like "forgot I just said that"
>>160785169
Phos is competitive for her age though
>>160788496
>>160788503
This is definitely Bortz diary, yeah?
The character pages often mention her jellyfish interests and the title referring to it as a foerce battle seem to match
>>160783605
