Therefore You and Me- Houseki no Kuni (MANGA SPOILERS)

NOTE: video contains spoilers for the Houseki no Kuni/Land of the Lustrous manga. Please watch Houseki no Kuni if you haven't already! It's an amazing anime
Pho's character arc suits this song well so I decided to make this.

I feel like "as a result of being by you, as a result of not noticing" also fits phos and jade, since jade's last word's to phos were "I'm sorry I never understood you"

[@myfriendtata6386]

Cool, but jade doesn’t exist no more

[@code066funkinbird3]

Well make sense now

[@code066funkinbird3]

​@myfriendtata6386 yeah u guess it

[@ghostea0051]

The fact that the manga was made "to speak to the human condition" both terrifies me and excites me.

[@AmberAoi606]

I never realized that just because he wanted to make a gem happy he changed so much, lost two important people. And now because of that gem (and many other things) he lost himself. POOR PHOS GIVE HIM A BREAK

[@nomk]

phos is just a complete tragedy. All they wanted was to be included and they were just played as a chess piece to sacrifice.

[@TheMemerWeebster]

Really love your art! Sad to see how Phos appearances throughout the series turn from a cute gem being into my sleep paralysis demon at 3AM 🗿

[@The_most_random_person]

saying this on every Houseki no Kuni thing I see have a pleasant 10,000 years.

[@amirhossain1692]

i didn't even read the manga yet but the way you showed the sudden changes (specially in rutile) literally wanna makes me cry :') like the feeling of a dear and past home now being in ruins and all innocence being lost. needless to say you did a hecking awesome job with this :D

[@theplumbago]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[@Voglya13]

I absolutely HATE what they did to my innocent child Phos, she DID everything just to be loved and needed, she is in fact the most human of them all :(

[@baolinhnguyen4459]

fuck everyone. Phos is everything. They didn't deserve 220 yrs of getting forgotten and 10000yrs of suffer. both earth gems and lunarians are selfish as fuck. then phos still pray for them. I want my stupid phos back.

[@dudenamedlemon8108]

*they

[@undertaker4997]

Its so devastating because the reason she become human is because of all what happens to her she had a peice of the ocean (flesh) she was made of gem (bone) and then understoon and got some of the moon (soul) becoming human and suffering till she became god and fell alone. Everyone but her got a happy ending which killed me

[@Kynokefalos]

Thats a good reason to end the existence of such inhuman friends/relatives ~

[@deaqi]

Man, I cried so many times reading the manga, it breaks my heart knowing what they did to her :(

[@lovely-maxcaulfield]

"Everyone- very selfish ghosts" ----- indeed, indeed

[@Kuwushii_]

AFTER THE NEW CHAPTER IM HERE AGAIN OH MY GOD. They deserve peace. Phos is a incredible character. It represents how someone can change when they are with the wrong persons. They wanted to changed just so they could be appreciated. they make me cry

[@code066funkinbird3]

Especially today

[@Kyrtendo]

This convinced me to watch the show so I'm gonna start it tomorrow 😋

[@relaxandeatcake]

SPOILER The fact that everybody got their happy ending and achieved nothingness while phos was left alone and the only thing giving him comfort are some talking rocks and watching stars die out broke me he deserved none of this he only wanted wanted to be excepted and viewed as someone more than a useless waste of space 😭😭😭😭

[@everysinglepoop]

Those rocks are cool as hell though

[@raymoo_hackery]

This actually fits so well! This whole thing is so good, I love your art! Thank you!! ❤️

[@theplumbago]

Thank you so much 💖💖💖

[@MagicalGirlContractor]

This cut so deep from the lyrics matching with the imagery to the timing and editing and color choices. You did a splendid job at hurting me and making me love it.

[@edtenn745]

BRO THIS IS ACTUALLY SO GOOD I didn’t realize how good this song fit Phos’s story and the whole concept of HNK. God this is so good😭 Phos, my poor baby 😢

[@ysinedrd8220]

I love this so much this fandom is so talented it's crazy. This song fits so well and the animation and art encompasses the themes of love, sadeness and grief of HnK so well it made me cry remembering everything Phos went through just wishing to be loved and be useful. I'm in shambles right now what a masterpiece of a manga.

[@valejera1374]

the way the song and houseki no kuni fit is uncanny

[@mylittleyuriclan4621]

Makes it look like they got a new lover with each transformation

[@artz-chan9640]

The only series that shows how cruel and beautiful life can be

[@Shadow_the_Edgehog]

"a result of forgetting" fit's Phos forgetting Ccinabar so much

[@erin-xb3mj]

music, art, and timing is perfect! all the manga-reader pain resurfaced lol but you did such an amazing job! I love it💖

[@ms.dumpling]

Phos has been through so much that it turns out not to be herself anymore. Phos was already gone after loosing her head

[@juneli3253]

This is so good! I love the transitions between the previous and new gems states and I also love your style and how you make silhouettes of them. Honestly Phos was so cute as a young gem

[@500_]

What's the name of the first character which appears? Edit: I just found her name is Phos. But why you painted her hair green her hair is blue in the anime, right?

[@coletteherondale4525]

umm, it's a spoiler . . . . SPOILER!!! . . . . . His head gets cut off during a very intense fight and Cairn (his partner at that time, also kinda bestie) pleads for sensei to put another gems head (Lapis') on Phos. That's why he has a different head and that's why it's blue.
