It really is NOT hard to refer to them in a gender neutral way, the anime subs I watched did it fine even, and yet here we are.

Hope the translations improve.

 

[Dorunga]

Oh the joy...

 

[Chantepnita]

I like it

 

[Mother_Mushroom]

this seems good but man this art is unbearable... i can barely tell whats going on most of the time

Oh, how far we've fallen.

@Mother_Mushroom Personally, I really like the art. It's surreal and interesting. It's not so surreal that I am completely lost, just surreal where the space isn't straight forward but there is definitely a story happening.

There is a lot of Buddhism imagery going on here like the senpai who is wearing a monk's robe and the first enemy who looks like a Bodhisattva.

Wat

 

[YoshikageKiraDeadMansQ]

A: art style is pretty messy and, when in black and white, some characters can blend in
B: why.. why use he/him for a gem? I mean, some gems it makes sense for (Antarc and Padparadscha), but Helio doesn't quite give off a masculine impression at all. Then again, most gems do use more masculine words, but that could be something they picked up from Sensei

What happened to you all 😢

 

[Knonderd]

Well, I decided to re-read it again after dropping this manga in the past. Coming with a new perspective helped me find why this manga has been liked by so many people.

 

[SyberGear]

[Lustrist]

[Miyamuraaa]

What

 

[Nrtoxop]

starting my first read of this manga now im pretty hyped to see why so many people like this manga. the first chapter was pretty nice but I already know I will have my problems to distinguish the characters

 

[reaperbreeze]

coming here from the anime: i do really like the artstyle of this! it's a little hard to distinguish between the characters, and the art's a bit messy, but i think i'll manage and become accustomed to it. plus, i can't imagine there being absolutely no improvement in art throughout the course of this manga. i'm pretty excited to see the rest of the story unfold..

God I miss the old Phos

And so we start again.
