So i've been playing touhou for about 3 months now, about every day. I say I can get pretty far in the game, and have been slowly trying out the other games (I started with Subterranean Animism.
The thing is.... I have no idea what's going on.
I don't know who the characters are, I don't know the story, I don't get any of these memes, I don't know what ⑨ means, I don't know what TAKE IT EASY mean, etc.
How do you learn all of this?

Read them in order of translation for the best experience. The older ones contain the most memes. Then there are certain artists who are meme-machines.

>> No.2207037

Read Perfect Memento in Strict Sense.

Then start reading official manga (SaBND, Inaba of the Moon/Earth, etc).

Then start reading everything at Gaku Gaku Animal Land.

At least read one from every circle. That way you'll find doujins that you're interested in, whether you're a slice-of-life-fag/shounenfag/yurifag/whatever.

Is there a link to this in english somewhere?

>> No.2207205

An anon posted a link to Touhou Wiki.

Go there. Spend tonight reading everything in there. Script translations, character pages, everything.

When you have done that, we can get into more detail as the particular procedence of each meme.

It's shit, don't bother with it. Any random story-less erodoujinshi has it beaten.
