The title was more of a comment about the ending, he talks about the plot, characters author, art style, etc but leaves details vague to encourage you to read and or watch it. Just read or watch it man.

yeahhhhhh.......

Ichikawa is a troll of an author in the best way possible

If someone wants to disagree, they can, but I believe that HNK is one of the best, if not *the* best, story humanity has ever created. It's a story that explores the concepts of belonging, betrayal, a fading identity, desperation, the passage of time, and what it means to be human within it's story. At the same time, the art takes a unique look at the beauty of the human form in masculine, feminine, and non-gender-conforming subjects, and it does it with some of the most amazing chiaroscuro that I've ever seen. It's a great example of how deeply someone can contemplate everyday experiences, and it shows how those experiences are actually much more complex than we usually realize.

You’re not alone thinking that. I also believe is one of the best, or at least in any visual media. The portrait of many unique aspects of humanity, both bad or good with one of the most interesting plots, with much emotional charge. So many people feeling identified with its character and with the capability to make reflect on oneself. More than a history, a life changing experience to witness, and I’m so happy to see so many people feel the same way. 🙏

Ichikawa has actually done a bunch of design work for GameFreak on the Pokemon series with both Sword and Shield and Scarlet and Violet, and just recently even has done artwork for a few Pokemon cards. Her hiatuses actually line up a few times with the game’s development so I think that’s a huge factor in her lengthy breaks.

Houseki no Kuni is the most beautifully tragic thing I've ever read in manga and every written work.

You just brought up Beastars at the beginning to spite the fans, didn't you.😏

I'm just glad that phos doesn't have to suffer anymore

i kinda wish the series would expand a bit more with the Admirabilis people especially how their home actually look like and how Bortz raising Jellyfish considering how he attached so many on them on his hair to look for Phos at night

I wasn't a fan of the anime when it came out but the more i learn about the story since it ended the more interest and endearment i feel toward it. Honestly wish the adaptation came out just now in full bulk to do the story justice.

The architecture shown looks a lot like Bismuth

The way that I remember it base on the anime humans are extinct and the gems (represent the bone), the sky people (represent the spirit) and the sea people (represent the flesh) are the last descendants of humans .

I just found this in recommended section

I'd say this video does do a decent job and trying to spread the word of Houseki no Kuni to an audience that might not know about it so glad to see that! In regards to the Hiatus section, it feels a little misleading when you say "a lot" of breaks when she did not take her first break for a whole 6 years of publication and then the final "arc" starting in 2023 does not make any sense to me. But yes I do agree with you the ending is filled with hope and it did make me happy as well.

I love this manga its my favourite one and it was such an emotional roller-coaster and if any manga deserves a second season this one deserves to be fully adapted into a full one anima

i feel like the main character resembles kaneki alot the amount of changes both go is insane, they are completly unrecognizable after a while, but kaneki got the good ending. The other not so much even if i havent land of lustrous i have gotten spoiled for alot especially the ending and tokyo ghoul? Ive atleast reread it like 4 times 😭

my hyperfixations do not disappoint me

this manga is one hell of a roller coaster, which... I dragged a friend of mine to watch the anime first before getting into the manga - oh I feel bad on how he will suffer lol but... due to I live in the city, and the lack of telescope, I can't see Phos colored shooting star q-q and... I am just glad phos is finally happy with his rock buddies

That comet. I’m actually crying for the 4D chessplay of the author.

watching this after said comet was seen is amazing

what app do you use to make ur thumbnails. theyre super clean

Recommendations strong

Man, I've been saying this! It's so underrated, it's still my fav to this day along with AOT. It's very complex just like AOT

I just went and read the last few chapters that I haven’t caught up on, and honestly, all I have to say is, what..? It’s a weird feeling honestly. I do sort of understand what happened, but I don’t •-• my head kinda hurts now

Nice.

The author's hiatus remember's of Kurumada's from Saint Seiya... His manga (Next Dimension) will finish serialization this june with only 118 chapters within 15 volumes... and you know how much time he is spending drawing Next Dimension? 13 years! And ironically, he only cared to do this manga in particular because he didnt liked the movie that was lauched "Saint Seiya Overture" back in 2004, which was supposed to be 1 in 3 parts counting the adventures of saints of Athena against the olympean gods after the battle against Poseidon and Hades previously. Spoilers ahead. The movie ended in something like... the humanity was all doomed by a single light of Apollon's power, Seiya failed to contain his power, being destroyed his armor, dying every human... lefting only the protagonist Seiya and Athena alive (and nude) but i assume it was their souls, as they had no genitalias at all. In the last moment, Seiya tried again, one last time, to hit the god, with his cosmos (similar to ki - chakra - mana) reaching infinite. You dont see the result after his power was unleased. In the ending scene, the followed phrase is shown "When human heart surprasses the divine beings... what the gods will forgive...and what they will punish?" then shows up "both Seiya and Athena talking as if they never met each other... its supposed that they were brainwashed and the humanity's doom reversed" its confusing. If you wait more in the credits, shows up seiya with a new and unique armor design, dealing with his concentrated power against Apollon... and it does only a cut in his face... then Seiya dies. The movie was more about lore than battles, about human's doings and free will, but it was ahead of its time. People with "shonen spirit" thought as boring and it wasnt received well in the cinemas in the west, as people used other ways to see it already (you never read this)

I saw thumnail land of lustress is cool it reminds me that i watch anime when that release? 2016?

3:34 You should use they/them for the gems (Ichikawa preference in English), their japanese honorific doesn't translate to he/him, varying from: - Ore ( 俺 ) which is a masculine, Super Tough way to refer to yourself, Ore is also a very archaic and old-fashioned pronoun, so it's fitting for older gems to be using it to refer to themselves. - Boku ( 僕 ) which is a masculine but humble, almost boyish way to refer to yourself - Watashi ( 私 ) which is proper and gender neutral, though used by men to be formal, and women as the regular pronoun - Atashi (あたし) which is a feminine, sometimes cutesy way to refer to yourself. Like; Sensei uses the neutral and formal 'Watashi' along with 6 gems (Antarcticite, Hemimorphite, Peridot, Jade, Rutile, and Red Beryl sometimes) 6 gems (Cinnabar, Neptunite, Yellow Diamond, Morganite, Sphene, and Padparadscha) use the super tough and manly/archaic 'Ore' The only two that haven't used a pronoun are Obsidian and Morganite 2. Everyone else, including Phos uses 'Boku' . When referring to each other, the gems usually default to using words such as 'brother' (especially between the diamonds) and the equivalent of 'him' ( 彼 ) though it should be noted that 'him' in this case would usually be taking the place of saying something more blatant like 'that boy' or 'that girl' which would be more common. This is also not even going into their speech patterns, which, while I'm not really fluent enough in Japanese to pick up on, I have seen translators note that Euclase, while using 'boku' to refer to themself, speaks in a very gentle, feminine way in Japanese (short version: saying "のかしら" in certain ways in their sentences.) So from there, a lot of translators simply blanket-translate all of the gems as always using he/him. Even though there are still gems (including Sensei!) that do not go by an explicitly masculine pronoun, or Alexandrite, who refers to themself in a feminine way, or Euclase who uses 'boku' but ends their sentences with "のかしら" on occasion which is pretty blatantly mixing feminine and masculine speech patterns, and probably others that I haven't been able to notice as easily. Now: In terms of authorial intent, Ichikawa has said before that the gems appearing feminine but speaking more boyishly (but not completely male) is meant to sort of be a balancing act, so that the overall impression to the Japanese audience is that the gems are gender neutral. This doesn't work as cleanly in English, since we only have gendered third person pronouns. In terms of English translation, Ichikawa asked for the gems to be referred to neutrally, as they/them. I personally choose to respect that, and I like the idea that the gems don't really go along with the human concept of gender. They are a fictional crystal people that photosynthesize and that evolved from the bones of humans, and their only connection to the deceased humanity for so long has been an adamantine buddhist prayer machine. They probably have more use for paper than for gender roles.

Now I think about it, future also has that psychological aspect 🗿

I mean it was not a bad video but I suppose communitys reaction to Ichikawas break in the video is making it look more negatively than it was (almost wasn't) + meantoning manga abt anime separately seems worthless if we talk abt the ending and overall I learned almost nothig new... I meant this would be too shallow even for ppl ot aware abt HNS just cause mentioning info shattered so u cannot see all the reasons why it is even comparable to AOT not mentioning that the comparison to Eren is right but if we spek abt ending it seems a bit misleading 6/10, not bad but HNK already has many better videos talking abt specific aspects of both manga and anime or more dedicated to mainstream publicum
