Woops I guess I'm caught up on the Land of the Lustrous manga. (with the stuff officially released in English anyway, which is to say that I've finished volume 6)

As always with this series I have somewhat mixed feelings. It's like there's so much interesting stuff about this setting, but the story refuses to focus on any of it and instead just gives us "the Lunarians are attacking!" for like 4 volumes in a row. And it's not like that's bad (it's good enough to get me to read 4 manga volumes in a day, at least!), but there's just so much wasted potential here I feel like. I want to see more of Phos/Cinnabar acting as lone wolves; I want to know more of what's going on with the Lunarians and the snail people; I just generally want to see more of the world outside of the perspective of Kongo-sensei and the gems. But so far the story has only been willing to give that out in bits and pieces.

On a brighter note, I did enjoy the Antarcticite stuff more in the manga than in the anime for a reason I can't quite pinpoint.

Also volume 7 releases like tomorrow or something, so maybe this will finally be the one that gives me what I've been waiting for from the series.
