/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Hello, /jp/. I've been a lurkfag for some time now and I've seen many Touhou threads come and go. All the interesting pictures and lore, but I've never really had a grasp of what I was reading here.

You see, I've played all Touhou games. Still regularly do. But there's a truckload of content out there that I feel like I'm missing out, and I'm basically a newfag to Touhou, having started playing only last year. For example, I don't really understand the land of Gensokyo, I don't understand the characters's personalities, I don't get the lore, where they came from... I want to learn more here, and I feel like reading the dialogue in the games isn't cutting out to me.

I'm sure there's a lot of manga or doujin out there that have good storyline aspects and explanations, which I would like to hear. What I'm asking for here, is that someone introduct me to this untouched part of Touhou I've never been to. Any videos, manga, fanbooks, just basically anything that helps me understand this universe better.

I have nothing to give back but my thanks, so you don't need to help me if you don't want to. But I'd appreciate it.

Picture related [?] Youmu and Yuyuko look cool so related.

OK /jp/, I wanna get into Touhou. I've tried it two years ago but didn't like it much, however this might have changed.

With what game should I begin?

hai guys, not trolling

trying to get into this Touhou movement since so many of my friends are, should I just pick a favorite? who is your waifu and why? How did you get into it? recommendations? I don't like huge gaudy hats, overly wavy hair, or giant breasts.

TL;DR Talk me into Touhou

well i made this thread so people who like the Touhou games and IOSYS music can come here and talk about it although i doubt alot of people in Game discussion know about the awesomeness that is Touhou seeing as how it's most popular in japan about touhou: http://www.gaiaonline.com/gaia/redirect.php?r=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FTouhou_Project

Let's have try having a good thread that doesn't belong in /b/.

Sup guys I need that ftp that's been used here a while ago. Looking for some touhou and can't find anything but rapidshits.
