Do what you will with this parallel

I can now tell why Phos was so jealous of Welegato and Aechmea's relationship. Adamant couldnt even tell Phos that he was worried about them

So what was Land of The Lustrous trying to say about Humanity?

Land of The Lustrous was one hell of ride. I just caught up with the manga few days ago and I could say this is probably one of the greatest manga I've read. Ichikawa truly created a masterpiece.

This might be what I considered a perfect manga, there's so many great thing about the story, the character, the theme, and philosophy surrounding it.

But, I still can't put this in my top 10 manga. There's just things that still bugs me and confuse me about the story. That is:

What is the point of this all?

This is probably my biggest criticism of the story. In these last few chapters, humans were painted awfully. And what makes it worse is that the reason why Phos had to suffer was because he is becoming human, more precisely developing human emotions: wanting to change and seeking truth.

As the the story goes, Phos developed an urge to change his situation (stop the gem from being kidnapped by the Lunarians) and finally seeking truth. We all know that the other gems doesn't care about Kongo/Adamant's connection with the Lunarians. Phos is the only gem that wants to know the truth.

There's nothing wrong in wanting to change and seeking the truth. He just want the gems to stop suffering (at least in the beginning). But in the end he has to suffer from his curiosity. He has to suffer all the consequences while the gems he tried to protect lived and "died" peacefully.

Even Aechmea who manipulated Phos to the point of no return, who IMO displayed the worse of humanity, doesn't suffer any consequences. The only thing we got from him in the end is that he felt bad and sorry for Phos.

It kinda sucks that if you think about it, Phos wouldn't have to suffer and any of this wouldn't happen if he just did the encyclopedia job like he was told to.

In the end I'm really confuse of what message Ichikawa wants to send. Is it that Human is evil so they need to disappear? Is she trying to tell us that nothing matters so why even try to change anything? Is it wrong to find answers?

Is it wrong to be human?

I've stuck in my mind for a couple of days and it just won't go away. I just can't comprehend this, or maybe I just can't accept the message. Maybe because my ideals crashes with what Ishikawa believe or what this manga trying to tell.

Maybe, I need to reread some of the chapters. Maybe I missed something important that would eventually answer all of this question. Or probably I just need to wait a little until this story finally ended so I it finally answer my question.

Overall, I just want to get this out of my head. Still, I'm very grateful for Ichikawa Sensei for telling this story. May you enjoy your Suika game in peace.
