Sugar ❀'s manga / #unique(2)

P: In the distant future, a new life form called Houseki (gems) are born. The 28 Houseki must fight against the moon dwellers who want to attack them and turn them into decorations, thus each gem is assigned a role such as a fighter or a medic. Though she hopes to fight the moon dwellers, Phos is a gem who is given no assignment until the gems' master Adamantine asks her to edit a natural history magazine. O: This is amazing. So underrated. Started reading this years ago. This is kinda depressing, I feel so bad for Phos. She just wants to help, but the gems with Adamant don't understand. She keeps losing more and more of her original bright self, and seems to be turning into a monster. C78 - :( this is when Phos becomes a monster.. C84 - what has Phos become... C93 - omfg she doesn't even recognise her past self??? TT C94 - wtf is Master really gone?! C95 - WTF WHAT ABOUT PHOS AND THEIR HAPPINESS!!! C98 - omg is this how it all ends.. it feels a bit underwhelming tbh I didn't know what to expect. Ngl I lost interest later, but this was overall a good read.

P: Rakan lives alone, and the plants in his garden grow so thick and fast that it seems like a jungle. One day a man, holding a gun made of wood, falls right down into his garden. He seems to come from another world, and he's searching for someone who can bring back the green into his own dark and inhospitable world. O: Old art, but it isn’t off-putting. The plot is really interesting and unique, so much action and drama. I love it ^^ However there are quite a few plotholes. I feel that there wasn't much development with the sanome girl. Also each character seems ridiculously OP e.g. seeing circuits that can be modified/deactivated. I don't get how Rakan always manages to persuade the plants/seeds to grow... call it charismatic or whatever, but shouldn't he fail like at least once..? I didn’t like Kingen x prince. How did they manage to live wtf. I like the last bonus story though, so nice to see Kou’s development. Favourite character has to be Kou the snake. He’s so cute and makes hilarious remarks xD. Finally finished this in 2019. I started this ~the same time as Citrus.
