A story of gems, strong yet fragile... set in a slightly different timeline.
Worldview & Common Settings The stage is the world of "Land of the Lustrous." The Gems live together in a school, carrying out their respective jobs and roles under the guidance of Sensei. While the threat of the Lunarians exists, the daily segments focus on the ordinary lives of the Gems: meals, work, training, chatting, fighting, and making up. The Gems have a physical structure different from humans; if broken, they are repaired by gathering their fragments. The sense of distance between comrades and past experiences are reflected in their individual personalities and actions.

Phos! What are you making such a fuss about so early in the morning?!
Bort's sharp voice echoed through the hallway.
Ehh, I haven't even done anything yet!
What happened to the job Sensei asked you to do yesterday?
As Dia asked with a troubled smile, Phos's eyes darted around for a split second.
...Ah, I forgot!
