Why is Forbidden Scrollery so great?
Reimu kill all men
Nice art, plot feauturing episodic events engaging a wide range of existing characters and giving them depth while also moving the arching story forward, Kosuzu.
>>15512259
Because it has Reimu being qt
>>15512259
It just werks
>>15512259
it shows that reimu is a genocidal maniac that should be put down
Conclusively established that most of the men in Gensokyo are ugly faceless cattle and Reimu kills the ones who become woke.
>>15512430
Is this a webm for colorblind ants?
>>15512480
You're not funny.
Reimu actually does shit
Kosuzu is cute
Akyuu is pretty
Mamizou is hot
Gensokyo is the dangerous, monster-ridden hellhole it's always been suggested yet never shown to be in previous works
bromance
Because youkai act like youkai should act instead of being just little girls in silly hats
>>15512646
I hate shipfags but man thry are 2 cute together
It's cute and has cute characters, but youkai are also legitimate threats and we get a better idea of what Reimu actually has to constantly do in order to maintain the balance in Gensokyo.
>>15512259
The fact that Kosuzu will eventually die
Some of the best official art
Nice minor character study of Reimu and how she acts.
Interesting little character beats regarding Marisa and many others.
Akyuu has been salvaged and is no longer shit
Kosuzu keeps things cute between the edgy stuff.
>>15512604
some great alternate outfits too
Suznaan being a great village equivalent or balance to the Hakurei shrine as well.
>>15512646
>ZUN finally realized that Reimu and Marisa teaming up to solve incidents is better than his competitive solo bullshit
I really like how it makes autism posting on this board have butthurt attacks with Aya's wings and tiny kappas.
>>15513027
Kappa's are tiny though!
>>15512895
I know it's probably edited, but which chapter was that?
>>15513296
It's not edited. I don't remember the chapter though.
>>15513279
How am I supposed to fear the youkai when they look so adorable?
>>15513354
I have three cucumbers lodged in my anus as a defensive measure, I call it "the shining kappa"
>>15513368
That's a poor defensive measure, considering kappa like cucumbers. The original Shining Dragon would have been safer.
>>15513380
But they don't take your Shirikodama if you give them cucumbers instead. By having them directly in my anus, I'm protected even from surprise attacks
>>15513402
What's stopping them from taking the cucumbers AND the anal pokeball?
>>15513433
Their own legend
>>15512259
It's not, it's pretty boring, it's the usual run of the mill plot of ''something happens, girl investigates, Akyuu and Kosuzu discuss about it, problem gets solved by itself somehow, next chapter''.
The only ones that are any interesting are the 2 or 3 where Reimu gets serious. I think Marisa killed some monster guy too, or was that WaHH?
>>15513022
marisa does something?
>>15513599
>boring
Touhou manga are for the thinking man
Mainly the art and aesthetics.
Reimu did nothing wrong
>>15513279
Mountain kappa > river kappa
Kappa wars when?
Reimu is very lewd. Girls shoudn't air their jubans in such a shameless way.
>>15514910
>FLOP
So Touhou IS declining after all.
>>15515215
>FLIP
Flipflops confirmed canon
>>15515270
>Rattle
Reimu is a skeleton
>>15512259
Because harukawa is a good artist.
I want her to grab my erect penis with her cute girly hands!
I've had so much fun reading this manga.
>>15512259
Reimu has tits
>>15512259
Just one of many selling points for me.
>>15513317
They are using their cuteness to steal ass balls more easily. But it seems like ever since they discovered the joy of capitalism, they don't need ass balls anymore.
I wrote at length an explanation why, recently.
The long and short of it is that it has a good structure, it's subtle, it's brimming with atmosphere, and it's beautiful. Also it's quite dark despite often looking cute as fuck. Twisted themes at play with a lot of hidden motivations, playing with some very basic, very old ideas of temptation and such.
>>15513022
Well the games NEED it to be solo, but I was always under the impression that it's implied they work together a lot anyway, what with endings resulting in mixed canon and how old enemies talk about the two of them.
It's decent if you compare it to other touhou printed works but on itself it's really average, the plot is a disjointed mess of random stories with unidimensional characters with sketchy motivations and art that varies in quality.
>>15513317
The funny thing about the Youkai>Humans>Fairies relationship is that it works like this: thing higher on the list approaches thing lower on the list disarmingly, and when thing lower on the list's guard is down, strikes as fast as an apex predator.
>chapter 3 of FS (just chapter 3) recently got a v2
what
why?
>>15517417
Could you rephrase that?
>>15517353
Really? I always thought the games and print works (like BAiJR) defaulted to giving Reimu solo credit for solving incidents
>>15517765
>>15517773
Footfag pedophiles are the worst.
>>15517758
I didn't say anything about SOLVING them necessarily, but there's stuff like Yukari saying she's fought three humans before (Reimu, Marisa, an Sakuya)
>>15517660
If something is trying to be friendly to you in Gensokyo, it wants to eat you. Therefore, you should run away from it. Unless it's Reimu.But Reimu wouldn't try to be friendly with you.
>>15518317
Or all the friendly youkai.
>>15518317
No way dude, Kogasa is pure.
>>15518317
>pic related wants to eat me
She's too lazy and retarded to capture and eat anyone. How hasn't she starved to death yet?
>>15518500
Canned Rations.
>>15513599
That's possibly the smuggest Mamizou I've seen.
It's interesting and believable to the universe it's set in. The other print works often failed to convey what Gensokyo was about, why there is a balance and why should youkai actually be feared.
I'm not calling for grimdark here but from the beginning ZUN created the youkai as human eating monsters yet they never acted like it. It was just inconsistent with print works and then subsequently the majority of fan works.
FS manages to keep the light heart tone of the series in a believable way. If Gensokyo was a real place it'd be the most accurate depiction yet, and that is what makes it interesting. Aya, Mamizou, Nue, Nitori, all of them acting in very youkai like way which is what we should expect. It's very refreshing actually.
>>15521343
I think that's because the other manga so far never had so much involvement with the human village, so you only get youkai relationships with Reimu which are just tea and banter.
In fact even in the new fairy manga they show thay even fairies are huges pieces of shit as soon as they get close to the human village.
But yeah I see what you mean.
>>15521355
I partially agree. I have no major problems with the fairies manga apart from a few scenes (like the one with the test of courage, it was just silly), but WaHH is terrible when depicting Reimu. Her silliness is way overblown there and detracts from the entire setting. Reading WaHH and FS (or even SSiB) back to back is very weird and feels like reading fanworks due to lack of consistency. A few other characters suffer from similar problems there too.
Don't get me wrong though, I like WaHH, but it has problems which I feel were addressed in FS.
>>15521385
As a person who did read FS, Fairies, and WaHH back to back I actually DON'T see it as inconsistency, rather look at it like this:
First things first. Like >>15521355 said the human village is key first and foremost. Reimu and Marisa ain't normal humans and subsequently don't have much of anything to be afraid of with youkai, making their interactions not particularly worrying (in FS, where Kosuzu is the protagonist, youkai "become" scary, but the fact is they're always scary to normal humans -- something that won't come through in most of the games). I'm talking about in the games here, of course, and somewhat Three Fairies, WaHH, and in fact even FS. Reimu's always about the same with youkai in any of the manga. She'll get riled up easily if they're causing trouble (confronts Mamizou with suspicion in FS, confronts the damn FAIRIES with suspicion in Sangetsusei when the "floating city" appears, is ready to start an incident-investigation in WaHH when Suika starts shoving the bitches at Myouren over for not greeting her properly) but will also drink and relax with them or use them to her own ends in all of the manga.
And this brings me to the real key thing in that I think these three manga show different sides of Reimu, but not actually inconsistency. Three Fairies is mostly about Reimu in her downtime, at worst dealing with fairy pranks. In FS in her downtime she sweeps or relaxes, in Sangetsusei in her downtime she sweeps or relaxes, WaHH too. Consistently a lazy miko. Since Sangetsusei is all about the down time, you may get the IMPRESSION that she's always doing about nothing, but the implication is between chapters or off panel she gets work done like in the games or FS.
Now WaHH, WaHH is about Reimu's business exploits, which are completely absurd. Thing here is, she's always been like THAT too, but WaHH is practically ALL about that. That's the side of her it focuses on. In the games, she'll have times where she's thinking about improving the shrine through schemes ("I want a hot spring", "I'll open up a Moriya branch shrine", "Maybe I can sell this"), in FS and also the games you can even see a rare successful (but completely dubious) faith and money-making scheme in that she uses Kokoro's dancing to attract visitors. As for Sangetsusei, honestly to mind I can't think of something but she DID accept the fairies organizing tiny festivals on the shrine grounds in an attempt to gather visitors (of course, only gathering more youkai). So basically what I'm saying is that when it comes to trying to make the shrine prosper, Reimu is always a bit of an overeager fool who doesn't know what she's doing. You THINK WaHH is showing her as ONLY like that, but even in WaHH she'll do things like quickly get off her butt to try to resolve incidents should something be in danger (like that time Kasen's little spark-beast was starting fires).
Overall, I would agree that FS still shows off her character best, since it's a strong mix between all of her aspects without exactly focusing on any one of them, but WaHH isn't exactly worse for showing off her bad business side, since that side is literally always there. The Hakurei Miko is honest to a fault in a bad way for the shrine. Actually, stuff like her accepting the tsukumogami network in FS is directly similar to her accepting the fairy festivals in Sangetsusei.
SO
yeah, keep that in mind; rather than characters "being" different, the perspective is different
I want more fairy stories. They're cool.
>>15521968
Well, I see your point, but I think it goes a bit beyond just how Reimu acts. I'll concede for now though, I haven't read WaHH in some time and it isn't that fresh in my mind. And especially,
>Overall, I would agree that FS still shows off her character best, since it's a strong mix between all of her aspects without exactly focusing on any one of them, but WaHH isn't exactly worse for showing off her bad business side, since that side is literally always there.

I mostly agree with this. I accept that Reimu has her silly business moments, that has always been there and it shows in the games too (UFO iirc). But I do think WaHH suffers a bit from it, especially when it tries to be serious like when Yukari and Komachi confronted Kasen. The clash is very noticeable there.
>>15522738
>Cirno and Dai-chan together
I wonder what they were doing.
>>15522738
The art style of the fairies manga does devious things to my dick. Putting Clownpiece in it should have been illegal.
>>15522776
I'll definitely agree on the clashing. WaHH is a little confused with what it wants to be at times.

The best to use as a onahole, since she is so easy to catch

loved that clear bonus there.
WAHH and FS are just different stories with different themes and different characters.
FS is about humans, and to humans, Reimu is their guardian. WAHH is about youkai, and to youkai, Reimu is just a child. It makes sense that different characteristics are exaggerated in the different stories.
