Land Of The Lustrous Vol. 9

In a far distant future, the Earth has been ravaged by meteorites and nearly all life has been destroyed in the process. Now all that remains of the land is a single coast where over time a new race of sentient lifeforms has emerged. But instead of flesh and bone, these new lifeforms, known as Houseki (Gems), are made of living crystals and are able to live in the now toxic world. However, the Gems are under threat by a race of moon people called the Lunarians who hunt them for their value.
Phosphophyllite (Phos) is one such Gem, though he is weaker than all his peers and considered to be useless. That is until he is tasked with the mission of creating a natural history encyclopedia. Together with his colleagues Cinnabar, Bort, Diamond, and others, he sets out on a journey of personal growth and friendship as he strives to complete his mission. But could his research lead to the discovery of hidden secrets that could help the gems in their battle against the Lunarians? Find out in this action fantasy manga by Haruko Ichikawa!
IN Vol. 9, Phos returns from the moon with a shocking truth and rallies others to return with them to save their friends. Will they take the deal the Lunarians have offered?
