Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

An elegant new action manga for fans of Sailor Moon and the multitude of comics and animation it inspired, Land of the Lustrous is set in a far future Earth, where humanity's distant descendants live on as a small group of sexless crystalline beings battling an invasion from the Moon.

This elegant, enthralling action manga became a hit anime! Discover why readers have flocked to this "gorgeous, absorbing, surprisingly emotionally resonant" masterpiece.

SEARCHING FOR PURPOSE

In a world inhabited by crystalline lifeforms called The Lustrous, each unique gem must fight to preserve their way of life against the threat of lunarians who would transform them into decorations. Phosphophyllite, the most fragile and brittle of gems, yearns to join the battle. Instead, Phos is tasked with completing a natural history of their world, a task that seems dull and pointless.

This new job, however, brings Phos into contact with Cinnabar, a gem forced to live in isolation. Can Phos's seemingly mundane assignment lead both Phos and Cinnabar to the fulfillment they seek?
