First time reading ichkawa, thanks to the prompting of a bestie, who also got me curious in the anime. Would say this is a decent start to the series, though i can see how it may be confusing for readers trying to keep track of the Lustrous beings, as there are a lot of them. Found it also a bit endearing story wise and a little amusing. Looking forward to seeing how the series progresses and if we will get more information about their backgrounds and abilities. Also seems to be targeted at the younger end of teens, but being a fan of Steven Universe thought i would give it a go.
2.5 rounded up.
