Land of the Lustrous
First tankōbon volume cover, featuring (top to bottom) Bort, Phosphophyllite, Diamond, and Morganite
Land of the Lustrous is set in a far, distant future where the Earth had been struck six times by meteorites, ravaging it in the process. All of the remaining land was reduced to a single coast, whereas nearly all life was destroyed. Over vast stretches of time, a new race of sentient lifeforms emerged; immortal jewels that take the form of people. Phosphophyllite (Phos) is weak (with one of the lowest hardnesses) and considered useless by their peers. Phos asks their aloof but wise colleague Cinnabar for help after they receive an assignment to create a natural history encyclopedia, thus beginning their friendship and personal growth. Meanwhile, the "jewel people" are at war with the Lunarians (Moon people) who want to take advantage of their luxury value.
Known as "Phos" for short. One of the weaker jewel people, with a hardness of 3.5. Declared as too weak for battle, Phos is tasked with creating an encyclopedia logging new information. Despite this, as well as their immaturity and clumsiness, Phosphophyllite desires to enter the battlefield in order to be acknowledged by their peers and prove their worth. As Phos keeps experiencing hardships in battle, their limbs, along with their memories, are gradually lost and replaced with other minerals. At the same time, their personality begins to change gradually with each replacement, as well as their perspective changing.
An aloof jewel person who is even weaker than Phos, with a hardness of 2, but carries a powerful poison in their body. Because this poison taints the environment and erases memories stored inside affected jewel shards, Cinnabar is kept on night watch, but yearns to escape the night.
The medic jewel person in charge of fixing the other jewels when they're broken, although they have a habit of wanting to dissect what catches their attention.
A jewel person with an obsession with understanding the Lunarians, although they have a tendency to turn berserk when they see one. As such, Master Kongo has forbidden them from fighting.
Rutile's partner. A jewel person nearly as old and strong as the diamonds, who was born incomplete, hence spending most of their time asleep.
Master Kongō (金剛先生, Kongō-sensei)
Voiced by: Jouji Nakata[3] (Japanese); Brian Mathis (English)
A powerful monk who oversees the jewel people and acts as a teacher, and parental figure, to them. He is much sturdier than the jewels and when meditating or sleeping, he scarcely wakes up. His outer shell is composed of hexagonal diamond (lonsdaleite). He is later revealed to have a connection to the Lunarians, a mysterious race of humanoid beings who inhabit the Moon, and frequently come down to Earth to capture the jewel people.
The leader of the Lunarians. Though his people call him the "prince", it's an honorific title. He is revealed to have connections with Kongo, as he and his people rely on him in order to allow them to pass on. He goes as far as capturing the Gems and grinding them to dust in order to get Kongo's attention from Earth.
Cicada (セミ)
A soft and kind-hearted Lunarian who assists Phos while on their stay on the Moon.
