Yeah, they were definitely there 1~2 days ago.
Am I drunk or chapters 14 & 15 just vanished ?
Come on translator page 8 of Chapter 14, these genderless people are clearly meant to be female.
No, they're just genderless "gems". But they're looking so feminine...
Phos is turning into a chimera at this rate >_<
About tne new cover; I wonder why Phos has golden arms and who is the other character?
Houseki no kuni volume 3 cover... Oh, I see this cover was added to manga profile.
We are waiting for volume 3!
Here is translator's note about original version of translation:
Houseki no Kuni promotional video [English subtitles]
wow this is A LOT better than I thought at first!
Originally, he's referred to as "Kongou" (金剛) - means "diamond", "adamant", "vajra" ((in Buddhism and Hinduism) a thunderbolt or mystical weapon) and "unbreakable".
Well, we don't know that he -isn't- a crystal-person. But in the realm of harmless conjecture,
On another note, on chapter 7 pg. 4's info page he's referred to as "Adamant", which is... 'diamond'. There's really an awful lot of diamond around.
New series and I already love it
I don't know, was it a translator's error or not, but she is speaking about Aculeasis. I will take a look at it in Japanese.
remember that part of the slug mentioning the deal with the moon people's "comrade". Probably my guess is that's what he used to be.
Will the mystery of Sensei be revealed? He doesn't seem to be categorized under any of the three sides we've seen so far.
Holy hell that snail...
Woo.... nice. It's been a while since I last read something so promising.
This is really good!
What an odd and curious series....
So it's going to be a proper three-way engagement now? :s
Having worked with several of these stones at my previous job, I appreciate the author's sense of detail of each character instead of just picking "pretty sounding names".
And in the case of cinnabar it is poisonous due to its mercury content, but despite the health risk has often been cherished by many cultures for its bright red coloration (used in dyes, jewelry, etc.). Cinnabar is quite pretty and is one of my favorite minerals, but it is best to keep it as a specimen form attached to the surrounding rock and away from sunlight because the red color can be bleached out of the stone.
Wha...wha...I was loving the Ruler as her true form...then that happened, poor Phos can't catch a break
