There's a buyable, professional translation available.

Oh, I actually didn't know that. How popular is the manga? I always thought it didn't have the base to get an English translation.

I can see why they chose to use CGI for this show. They're able to model the fluid dynamics and gem shattering really well. I don't think 2D would have the same sort of effect here.

The manga is very good and you should buy it.

i dunno how well it's doing (other than the fact that they're 3 volumes deep here) but all of the marketing for the english release cites Steven Universe, so i think they were hoping that was a niche they could jump into.

Huh, I guess the premise is similar but I'm not sure how well it fits into the Steven universe niche.

You could probably make it at home instead. It forms from calcium chloride in a cold brine solution, so your fridge should work fine for that.

Yeah but I personally feel that there is something to naturally occurring minerals vs just making some when you're collecting. But I'll ask if gf would be okay grabbing some calcium chloride since the naturally occurring stuff seems hard to source

Edit: also the natural stuff probably won't need us experimenting with saturation levels

Milk's on them.


Growing your own gems sounds a little more romantic to me than buying one, maybe that’s just me. I wonder how long it takes to make antarcticite.

Which reminds me, given how we see chunks of non-living gems and metals/elements all over the shore, it looks like there’s something special about the process Phos and the others came from...and you can’t just randomly make new gem people.

phos has lived 300 years without getting another sibling, so yeah it seems fairly rare that they form right

Given that Sensei referred to the disembodied voices in the floe as sinners, it seems like the oceans are full of the microorganisms that form the Gems. It's only when they are condensed into gem form through some process that they are given life. I'm getting a strong reincarnation vibe here. Maybe only pure souls are able to form gems?

I'm assuming it will work in the heartwarming "yay we can touch each other safely" way, not the horrifying "yay now I will subsume your body and destroy you" way.
Let me have my cute gem hugs okay.
