The July 2022 issue of the Afternoon magazine announced on Wednesday that Haruko Ichikawa's Houseki no Kuni (Land of the Lustrous) manga is returning from its hiatus. The manga will resume in the magazine's August issue on June 24.

Afternoon began serializing the action fantasy manga in October 2012. Kodansha published the 11th volume in July 2020 (pictured right). Kodansha Comics licensed the manga in English in October 2016 and released the 11th volume on August 31 last year. The manga entered an indefinite hiatus in December 2020.

3DCG animation studio Orange adapted the manga into a 12-episode television anime in Fall 2017. Sentai Filmworks licensed the anime series and streamed it on Amazon's now-defunct streaming platform Anime Strike. HIDIVE later added the title to their catalog for North American streaming. The company also released the anime on home video with both English subtitles and dub in May 2019.

Synopsis
Long ago, Earth was struck by six meteorites, creating six moons and leaving a lone island in their wake. Those who could not make it to the island sank to the bottom of the ocean, where, over time, they slowly turned to crystal. As countless millennia passed, 28 of these crystallized lifeforms, known as the Lustrous, rose from the depths and resided on the island. Led by the wise Kongou-sensei, they must defend themselves against the seemingly infinite number of Lunarians, inhabitants of the moons who seek to harvest their valuable bodies for crafting weapons and jewelry.

Houseki no Kuni centers around Phosphophyllite, a young gem about to turn three hundred years old. Clumsy, extremely fragile, and having no visible talent, they are one of the weakest gems around, unable to help in the fight against the Lunarians in any meaningful way. But as the battle with the otherworldly invaders rages on, they soon learn that power comes at a cost that no one should have to pay. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Publishing in Japan, how does it work? Did July 2021 issue of that magazine just come out in May 2022? Was it delayed by 10 month? Why is August issue coming out in June?

thanks for letting the others know too, yes, it's awesome news and chapter 96 will be on another level of story telling, I think it'll be so big it'll make us suffer so much that we would have wanted to never come
