Oh man, buying touhou manga is SO much better in paperback xD
Touhou manga? I thought that was an game? There is a story?
there are several "official" side manga which basically tells a story as touhou, as I like to call it, "is a world that creates stories" rather than the general story, which creates the world around it.
There is the "world" of Gensoukyo (touhou world) and there are MANY "stories" within it, basically every official game is another "story" or, "incident" that occurs, the manga can either be another of these "incidents" (eg, Silent Sinner in Blue) or it can be something that just happens in everyday Gensoukyo life with no real story (eg, Oriental Sacred Place)
Touhou was bigger thing than I though...
k here's a good way to compare the size of touhou
think of an anime with the largest fanbase you know of
now multiple the fanbase by 10x, then try to imagine half of those fans making music, art, games, or the like for it.
you're starting to somewhat imagine what touhou is like.
then the actual material (official)
imagine the most complex, most diverse, most intense and expanded world you know of in a fictional setting
now multiple the intensity, extensiveness, and expansiveness by about 100x, and you start to understand the scale of the touhou world.
there you go
