Land of the Lustrous (Japanese: 宝石の国, Hepburn: Hōseki no Kuni; lit. 'Land of Jewels') is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Haruko Ichikawa. It was published by Kodansha in Monthly Afternoon magazine from October 2012 to April 2024, with its chapters collected in thirteen tankōbon volumes. Set in a world inhabited by Lustrous—immortal humanoid lifeforms who are the embodiments of gemstones—it chronicles their efforts to find the place where they belong while fighting to defend themselves against the celestial humanoid race known as the Lunarians. A 3D anime television series adaptation by Orange aired between October and December 2017.
In the distant future, a new life form called The Lustrous is born. The 28 Lustrous must fight against the Lunarians, who want to attack them and turn them into decorations; thus, each Lustrous is assigned a role such as a fighter or a medic. Though they hope to fight the Lunarians, Phos is a Lustrous who is given no assignment until the Lustrous' master Adamantine asks them to write an encyclopedia.
