Additional details: the manga will be released via the web, on the last monday of every month, starting on the 28th(!!) of this month.

Aya Azuma will also be creating a monthly but unofficial Komachi-centric webcomic (webdoujin?). I'm admittedly looking forward to this one a bit more, even if it's not really official.

The first chapter of the new official manga is out, along with its full title: Touhou Chireikiden (not the same kanji as Chireiden but intentionally similar) Irregular Detective Satori

https://touhougarakuta.com/comic/touhouchireikiden_1

The art is kinda amateurish but it'll be interesting to see how ZUN shows off his love for mystery novels.

I would interpret 反則 as, like, cheating. Like a foul in sports. The idea being that she's a detective who can read minds, which is cheating.

Rule-breaking.

That was my first thought but then I saw she seems to actively go out of the way to read minds, not to mention her title has "armchair detective" in it. Still, I admit I might be reading too much into all that.

And yeah, the wing hats are hilarious.

I'll wait for the translation but I'm not sure I dig this new manga...really feels like something I'd read on Pixiv. Shame since the Chireiden cast are my favorites by far.

They do that joke for all Touhou books.

I really like what ZUN did with the animal realm and Wily Beasts' story in general, it's cool to read his own thoughts on them. There's some fun ideas in there.

Also i'm excited to see the Eagle Yakuza in the new game.

Yeah, it's really interesting reading all his thoughts in both the broader story and the ideas he had going into each stage and personalities. I'm glad he's been giving these interviews, it's neat

also this was great

quote:

I thought really hard about where to include that word[Idolmaster], but I did away with it in the end. Oh, but she's less of a "Master" and more of a "P (Producer)", isn't she. Since she's the one making the idols.

In that world, the human spirits are nothing more than "materials". Everyone's fighting to steal those materials from each other. Keiki doesn't think of them as anything but materials, either.

well, that feels disappointing somehow. like, I get the decision to have Keiki be like that and how it factors into what he was going for, but still

On the other hand, Gensoukyo is more and more resembling Fallen London.

Albeit reality hasn't broken down that hard, but still.

The terrible Yakuza dystopia of the animal realm is wholly unconnected to Gensokyo. The cruel philosophies of the ruthless Yakuza goasts and cyberpunk overlords that reside there do not reflect the attitudes of Gensokyo. :colbert:

Is there a place I can easily download it? I prefer my own comic reader to any of the popular scanlation websites.

I checked and sadly it seems gensokyo.org is dead.

E: Oh, I figure it out. The download thing, not Gensokyo.org dying thing.

I have a weird line of topic. I was thinking back on my relationship with Touhou, and I realized that Touhou was probably the first media thing I got into that ways gay as gently caress. ZUN probably doesn't intend it, but the entire Touhou community seems to just completely accept that every character is gay, and that's cool. In a weird way, Touhou may have formed a basis for me to be more comfortable with homosexuality and my own bisexuality. And it's dumb as gently caress and and the gay stuff is often problematic at best, but growing up in a conservative community in the 2000's, Touhou was helpful, and I kind of think that's neat.

its a pretty common refrain. for ref zun didnt intend it but not because he thinks theyre all straight, he just isnt comfortable writing anything romantic so the orientation of his characters isnt something he ever really considered.

The sealing club stories are pretty gay imo. Like, intentionally so.

I mean Zun doesn't write romances but there's still stuff like Kanako and Suwako just basically being written as Sanae's mums. And I don't think that's an accident or anything.
