I miss Aya

Art-wise it's a lot cleaner than last chapter. Though that may be due to the lack of background pieces.
Still leaves a lot to be desired, but baby steps.

Koakuma?

Lovely Orin.

>>22480944
Then read her new Komachi manga. It's on the same website as Chireikiden. New chapter is related to WaHH ending.

God bless ZUN for letting a grade schooler draw an official doujin for him.

>>22481000
HOLY SHIT THERE ARE TWO KOAKUMAS FAN THEORY CONFIRMED

BASED ZUN

>>22481000
tfw your boss hire a new kunny

The whole manga is girly to the max. I love it. Patcho with earrings looks cute as hell.

>>22481155
>BASED ZUN
Based on what?

>>22480921
This reader is so bad. I think I ended up somehow getting all pages to display on mobile, but can't seem to do that on PC. My Japanese is shit enough as is, don't need small fonts making it worse

>>22481336
Based on others' uncredited work, because ZUN is a hack!

>>22481089
It's not canon though

I bet Succuya got possessed by this 3rd hell water boss from nugame.

>>22481155

I only count 1 here.

>>22481152
Gotta start somewhere!

>>22481000
Too flat for a succubus

>>22481000
CUTE!

>>22481155
go back you crossie faggot

>>22482028
a koakuma isn't a succubus

>>22481000
Koakuma is a stylish girl, she likes to change it up every once and a while

The art does look noticeably better than last chapter's.

>>22481155
Please elaborate on this fan theory.
Kinda confused why sometimes there are two Koakumas on MMD videos as well (with the other one having Misaka's hairstyle for some reason)

>>22482730
It’s cause “koakuma” isn’t a name it’s a title (little devil) and there’s been koakumas depicted with long hair and short hair in official materials. Her sprite has long hair.

One of my fave Touhou doujin is Patchy getting doubled by two futa koakumas so finally that doujin is now canon.

>>22481155
Retard.

>>22484111
What's the source

>>22484111
There's only one nameless assistant, retard

>>22484148

>>22484619
Try again.

>>22484619
It's just honestly surprising to see how completely asinine and ignorant EoSDfaggots are. Nameless stage 4 midboss always had short hair. I cannot believe that you thought that shitty nameless eosd stage 4 midboss had long hair. That would mean you consider fan art to be canon.

Kill yourself kudasai.

>>22484960
You must be pretty new if you think that means anything.

>>22484627
Its giving me an error
(no it's not the panda)

>>22484627
>>22485200
oh forget about it, the entire site is giving me an error

i'll try to fix it later

>>22485028
First time in three years.
Try again.
Your “fan theory” was written by a schizophrenic.

>>22485008
It's impossible to tell how long it is in the back from the EoSD sprite.

>>22485311
Yep, you can't tell if it's long or short since it goes past her shoulders and you have to see her back, but I kinda see a shade of red under her wings.

>>22485311
She is clearly wearing a helmet

Can't she just have gotten a haircut.

>>22485311
Frontal bangs

>>22485474
Haircut? In Touhou? Preposterous.

>>22481155
Koakuma is not even an actual character you moron. For all we know Patchi can have several devils acting as library servants.

>>22485502
Reimu and Marisa get them.

So it really was Sakuya, huh? I think she's gonna be in that basement with Flan for the whole manga.

>>22480944
Same.

>>22485792
Please don't be mean. Koakuma kunny is real.

Look at them go

>>22485931
Ay yo you better flee hops or get your head flown three blocks. Reimu keeps youkais hearts pumping like reeboks.

>>22485850
I wonder what they're gonnil spend their time doing down there, haha.

>>22485850

Flan is acting weird. She's got to know something about this incident that nobody else does.
Also she made a weird hint about wanting to eat Sakuya but the maid has something "missing" from her that doesn't make her smell as delicious.

> S: I'm sorry for waking you up.
> S: It's too early.
> F: It is. But it's okay.
> F: Something delicious woke me up,
> F: but I smell something missing...
> S: Forgive me my lady, but it seems that the fairy maids forgot to garnish your soup with truffles

>>22486424
(next page)
> F: I don't mind.
> F: I don't like truffles anyway.
> S: Eh? Since when?

You're seeing what I'm seeing, right?
- Flan hints at something off about Sakuya
- Sakuya, the perfect maid, forgets such a thing

The woman in there with Flan is NOT Sakuya.

>>22486424
>>22486431
I'm glad I have you to do my thinking for me because I'd spend 5 minutes squinting at the panels looking for a bowl of soup.

>>22486424
How'd you get the chapter files? Just grabbed them from media or something else?

>>22486536
https://touhougarakuta.com/comic/touhouchireikiden_2/
I thought this site was common knowledge.

>>22486431
sakuya being a perfect maid is just a meme though

she's actually kind of ditz, although i don't remember that much off the top of my head except the cup she broke on cola ten million years ago

>>22486548
I see. This was what I used last time, but I thought it was just the site from the OP I guess.

Well thanks for the small education, the link in the OP sucks balls

>>22486556
-opens window in space ship
-doesn't seem to understand some basic things, or understands them bizarrely
-general air outside of absolutely serious matters is "light and airy". Like really, she's usually quite pleasant
-makes bad tea for stupid reasons

Though it's worth keeping in mind that Sakuya MAY BE a semi-Yuyuko. Sakuya and Yuyuko both seem to actually just be trolls, though Yuyuko is *much* more dedicated to the act of a ditz, and will basically ALWAYS maintain that front. Sakuya puts it down at times, and at other times it's obvious that she's fucking with you. It's also just genuinely unclear how much of her airheaded antics are legitimate or just her messing with people. Yuyuko's ditziness is basically a 100% act mixed with a genuine love of fucking with everyone and everything.

>>22486569
Sakuya seems to be genuine airhead to me but she learnt but how to maintain her persona and just go with it.

>>22486582
stuff like her biting comments, her snide remarks, her understanding of others, and her tea cup breaking incident suggest she's not a total ditz, and is at the very least quite the troll.

The tea cup thing wasn't a matter of her breaking a cup, it was a matter of a cup being broken and her purchasing a broken cup in order to 1) save money 2) swindle Rinnosuke and most importantly 3) be a step ahead of Remilia

Remilia broke the cup and asked Sakuya to get a cup like Reimu's to replace it (it was Reimu's cup, broken in while they were alone, by accident). Sakuya straight up says, when Remilia sees the broken cup she bought, that she knew if she bought a *whole* cup, Remilia would have told her "this isn't like THAT, Sakuya", because it wasn't broken. Furthermore she bamboozles everyone by stealing a whole cup using her time powers, then using those powers she replaces the cup that was broken with a proper cup, as if she's reversed time. She thus gets a new cup for hardly anything and leaves Rinnosuke with broken merchandise and a note saying "sorry, lol"

Keep in mind while buying the broken cup she seems completely weird and Rinnosuke is baffled, and she maintains this weirdness all throughout her presence in Kourindou, even though secretly she's performing and undertaking mad schemes. I particularly like how her "sorry" note is a call back to earlier in that Marisa had broken something and left a "sorry" behind. Sakuya calls it "an expert's appraisal" and when asked by Remi how that makes sense she says "It is an ‘I could not appraise it.’ appraisal"

>>22486616
>suggest she's not a total ditz, and is at the very least quite the troll
But that's the thing. What's the difference between a clutz with perfect acting and a troll. We may never know, kinda like Andy Kaufman. But at least it's fun to speculate.

>>22486697
Andy was a pure troll. Basically if they never break it ironically becomes clear that they aren't legit. If you're in deep like that you're a Yuyuko, and Yuyuko is literally always aware of everything, she just pretends she isn't.

Like I said, I can't tell with Sakuya because if it's an act, she doesn't always maintain it

>>22480921
I assume that Satori is chasing a doppleganger youkai or something, and that's like the main plot of the manga as a whole. Or that Patchouli is lying about the culprit for whatever reason.

The real good news of this chapter is it finally puts to rest that whole 'sakuya can't stop time' argument to rest

soon

To whom it may concerned, the translated version.
https://mangadex.org/chapter/756660/1

>>22487898
This changes absolutely nothing, it always looked as if she could stop time, even though she actually doesn’t.

Aya has wings

>>22481322
Same
I hope it leaves out action and the supernatural entirely (outside of everyone being vampires, youkai, etc) and stays a weird shoujoish whodunnit with the usual cast

>>22488821
Fuck off

How could you...

>>22486431
meiling didn't gave a shit about what she said. it should have been something like "oh, really? I'm sorry."; but it felt like she knew that wasn't true.

>>22489145
what is satorin planning to do on those servers?

Is Meiling enjoying this?

>>22486697
>>22486616
>>22486569
Good discussion, I think Sakuya is a bit of a goofball, but she is also pretty smart. I think she just pretends to not know much just to have fun.

I did it all the time as a kid, I would ask something and pretend to not know it and enjoy it when someone would give me a nice explanation about it.

>>22489656
I dunno. Meiling is too cold here to be honest and it bothers me.

>>22490091
I kinda get what you mean, but IMO she looks like that because of the way this artist draws expressions.

>>22490284
I'm pretty sure it's the whole "slamming the door in Sakuya's face and locking it without responding to what she said", but yeah the expression needs work too.

The art is subpar, especially in comparison to the Suika manga, but it's fun.
Silly premises like this is one of the things that set Touhou apart from everything else.
Meiling didn't exactly act of what I expected of her, but I suppose that's what happens when you've interacted with too much fanon. Either that or she's just acting to Sakuya coldly because she's upset at her for a betrayal of some sort.

Why'd Meiling flinch?

>>22490448
Meiling might not have been fully convinced Satori could read minds in the last chapter. Maybe she's reacting to the next panel and wouldn't have been truthful if she'd known Satori had to be next to her to read her mind.

>>22490448
Meiling is the real culprit. Calling it.

>>22489691
Hey I still do that too

>>22490357
This, it breaks the mold

Rin seems awfully surprised by something she saw while lurking outside the mansion's windows.

>>22488162
Thank you, anon!

>>22488162
I like that the punishment for hurting Patche is to be sent to Flan's rape dungeon.

Godsaka pls come back!!! ;~;

>>22490448
I think it's just a callback to Meiling's nervousness in the first chapter.

>>22486424
>>22486431
Jesus christ Flan, enough bows on your hat?

>>22490704
so meiling thought satori could read her mind from there?
meiling-sama is so dumb!

>>22491008
Remimi really likes to collect trash in her house
Meiling is lazy and dumb
Patchy is useless
Sakuya is a backstabber cunt
Flan is fucking insane

>>22491059

Where's the beer, Rin?

>>22490719
Please be patient. Flan has the stupid.

>>22491059
Did ZUN come up with this manga in an attempt to destroy as many fan interpretations as possible?
Is alice going to show up and be a total asshole who really doesn't care about Marisa for the most part?

>>22493428
i sure hope so

>>22493428
>be a total asshole who really doesn't care about Marisa for the most part?
Isn't that how she canonically is? At least they aren't as buddy-buddy as canon tend to portray.

>>22493428
>Is alice going to show up and be a total asshole
Stop it. You’re giving those faggots who think middle finger Alice who swears like a sailor is the canon Alice fuel for their shitposting.

so flandre is still locked in the basement
what the fuck remilia

>>22495584
She likes it down there, though.

>>22492622
In the other manga pal

>>22493963
They literally sleep together in canon.

>>22496468
Alice only said she'll stay for the night. For all we know Alice slept on sofa.
And people like college students sleep on acquintance's place all the time especially during group assignment, but they don't have to be close buddies. Alice and Marisa are kinda like that.

>>22493428
Finally ZUN has destroyed fan interpretations like “Meiling is lazy and dumb.”

>>22496632
>destroyed
Sorry, I mean "reinforced"

For a manga named after her, Satorin doesn't show up a whole lot.

>>22491059
Do you really think Sakuya did it? That wouldn't be a very interesting mystery if it were solved in the first chapter.

>>22497309
There's definitely more to the case, as it seems. The most significant part being Sakuya somehow mistaking Flan's dislike of truffles. Her surprise doesn't seem to be made up too.

Sakuya was always actually a double-agent working primarily under Yukari & Co. and was working for Remilia for many years under self-hypnosis to not mistakenly blow her cover. She had orders implanted into her mind and sealed off, to be released by Yukari when neccessary, to assassinate anyone in the SDM who'd threaten the order of Gensokyo. Either Patchy was doing something really fishy or Sakuyas conditioning was inadequate, causing her to attack inadvertently.
The Sages have agents such as her planted amongst all great houses of Gensokyo, and Satori found out about it. Now she is staying in her palace, trying not to rouse suspicion and also to plan her next move.

This manga is so out of wack that I don’t know what’s happening anymore. This art is distracting.
The only other being capable of copying another beings appearance is Mamizou and she’s more than capable given her mysterious presence. That’s the only other thing I can come up with given >>22486431.
It’s not like the norm at the SDM for the gate to be wide open, but why go through the gate if you can fly? Unless you knew someone was watching or wanted to be cautious and not raise suspicion?
I’m gonna read this chapter again.

Is this going to be first Touhou manga without new character?
Then again, introducing new character in this artstyle would be too underwhelming.

>>22499633
No. After reading again, the only real stretch would be tying the newhu into it. All of the theories going around makes it likely.
Just an headcanon but if Sakuya really wanted to, she could have killed Patchouli quite easily. She doesn’t seem like the type to straight up assault you without thinking of an alternative way to do so that would make things less messy.
Satori should get off her ass and go outside for once though. Koishi goes where she pleases.

On a side note, kudos to the artist for making Flan seem like a fucking freak with just one panel.

>>22499650
>All of the theories going around makes it likely.
Meant to link >>22484122 here.

>>22489656
I doubt it.
If anything, she’s probably pissing herself considering all that happened.
If it’s the work of an outside influence, she’s going to be chewed out for sleeping on the job again since it may be something preventable

Even if the art is QUALITY, this mystery and having more character interactions is fine for me

I feel sad for Sakuya. She is locked in the basement, gets talked down by Meling of all people and Meiling even slammed the door in her face. I though Sakuya had a tiny bit of respect around the SDM.

>>22499601
Don't forget that the case has to do with the underground somehow

>>22500373
Backstabbing cowards deserve no respect.

>>22500373
She does. Remi spoke as if she wanted to bring Sakuya back once Patchouli confirmed Sakuya wasn't the culprit. I guess until then traitors ought to be treated as traitors

>>22500373
Their basement is not bad. Plus she still got someone to play with.

>>22500408
>once Patchouli confirmed Sakuya wasn't the culprit

>>22490612

>>22500489
Anon, reread what I said. I know, I'm saying Remi was expecting that Patchouli would name a different person

My bet is on fairies. Organized by Flan.

>>22500570
It’s possible with how absurdly stupid that is. The three fairies of light can’t be that proficient in their abilities to bend light and fool the senses of someone like Patchouli in such a way that they can appear as someone else and act on top of it all.

>>22500570
Akyuu please

>>22499422
finally the Total Recall based story touhou so much deserved!

>>22500373
She looks so sad

Why is Meiling so mean now?

>>22503489
This scene broke my heart, its my fault for reading to much fancanon

>>22503489
Didn’t you hear? She’s Chinese. She has no soul.

>>22500635
Don't underestimate Sunny! She is a smart and capable girl who could very well develop that sort of power!

>>22503489
Maybe she admired Sakuya, and now her heart is broken after learning that the maid is not perfect and elegant, but an evil traitor who cannot be trusted.

What if flan is behind all of this?

>>22503601
I wouldn’t be surprised. She’s alone 24/7 years ith the exception of meals so naturally she would want a friend or two.

meiling did it

>>22504863
Makes sense.
Newhu offers Meilong a drink, she slips in after memory alteration on Meilong and slips stuff into the tea since Fairies are dumb as shit and it gets delivered to patche who takes a sip and is attacked soon after she’s alone. The attacker is altered in memory and in the confusion the newhu slips out and leaves the gate open, or goes an alternate route, being one of the possible reasons Orin is spook’d outside the SDM.

>>22499650
It could be Koishi doing it. She can go into anywhere without anyone notice and Satori got a reason to involve if it was her. It could also be Marisa who was caught stealing book by Patchy. It could also be Okina who wanted to flex her muscle a bit.

Why is everyone in the SDM even listening to Satori like she has any idea what she is talking about?

>>22503601
>Ability to Destroy absolutely anything
>Destroys everyone's trust in the Maid
That would be pretty mean.

>>22507014
Because they are worried about Patcho. They will easily latch onto whatever solves that problem.

>>22508752
But Poncho is a cunt. She treat SDM staff like animals.
I wish Sakuya really did her in.

>>22508766
Patcho is just shy and antisocial. SWR showed her behavior to be rude to strangers but different to Remilia. There is no reason why would she treat her servants like trash.

>>22486616
Speaking of throwbacks to EoSD endings, one aspect of the canon lot of people seem to forget is as mentioned Sakuya loves to troll Remi. Like one ending had her straight up giving Marisa Remi's afternoon tea and she just ignores Remi flipping her shit next to them.

Then there is the other Marisa ending where instead of kicking her out Sakuya actively hides her whilst lying to Remi to hide Marisa and making a fool out of Remi & Marisa with her remarks. Its a far cry from the fanon depiction of edgy Sakuya trying to murder Marisa on the spot when they're actually quite friendly with each other.

>>22509259
I forget the exact details of the first ending you mentioned, but for the second one I think you're a bit off. Remi and Sakuya were both teasing Marisa together as I recall, with Remi mentioning smelling a rat and playing a bit of a Jack and the Bean-stock routine.

>>22487898
How is it a debate? Why do people say she can't stop time?

>>22509811
Autism based around a WaHH panel. She's an explicit Dio reference, of course she can stop time in a similar sense.

>>22487898
That shit proves nothing.

>>22509524
It could've swung both ways, but the point is Sakuya could've easily chosen to just straight up say Marisa was there or attacked her on the spot herself and she did neither showing her playful side.

>>22509811
She said that she can only stop time for herself and not give other people the ability to stop time, and compared it to moving really quickly. This led to people saying that she doesn't stop time, just moves at the speed of light, despite mentions before that she can manipulate space as a side effect of being able to manipulate time as well as make multiple copies of something exist at the same time e.g. Deflation World.

>>22516545
A single panel doesn't really invalidate any mentions or instances of her ability to stop time either, yet here we are.

I feel sorry for Sakuya...

>>22517216
I felt sorry for her until I realized she's in the perfect doujin scenario. Getting the cold treatment from Meiling just to get thrown into Flan's rape dungeon.
SDM, more like BDSM.

>>22517362
Sakuya is too lucky. Even when she's punished she still gets to spend all her time with a loli vamp!

>>22503489
>>22517216
I feel like these pages are supposed to be a joke. Sakuya looking like a prisoner being held in a cell, proclaiming her innocence while a stone-faced guard leaves her meal at the door. The punchline being she's not actually in a cell, she's just in the (rather comfy) basement with Flan.
