i caught up on land of the lustrous a couple days ago after meaning to read through the rest of it for years, and it's really good. i haven't been able to stop thinking about it. i'd like to make a longer post here with my thoughts on it but i'm not sure how to put them into words yet. might wait until the manga ends for that since it seems like it might be ending soon? regardless, i desperately need a season 2 of the anime even more than ever before now. god there's so much in this that i wanna see animated. its so good
if you're looking for something new to check out, i can recommend it! a couple notes beforehand are that it gets kinda dark later on, and there's a lot of some type of body horror (though there's no gore). there's an anime adaptation of it that covers like... i think the first 3 and a half volumes or so. that adaptation is beautifully done and is one of the best 3D-animated anime series i've seen. both the manga and the anime are very much checking out - there's a HUGE amount of stuff that the anime doesn't cover (as said before, the anime covers like 3 volumes out of the 11 or 12 out so far), so i very much recommend reading the manga after you've seen the anime, if you go for the anime first.
