Aunn is dead

So they had corona in gensokyo and needed to stay at home?

I kneel

Wait, Suika's gourd is still in the bar? I thought Miyoi attached herself to the bar so she wouldn't have to be tied to the gourd. Obligatory "she's not a zashiki-warashi"

another cameo by reimu's butt

It was fucking nothing yet again, yeah I get it remote work and shit fuck you ZUN

>>37490569
My guess is that they got the idea from some outside world human who fell into Gensokyo during quarantine.

>>37492912
He goes a little too hard on "Hey guys looks its another current events reference!" as of late

>>37492872
Aunn is not Reimu's butt!

>>37492944
onore sumireko

>>37492269
This with fairies

>>37492912
It's been like 10 years, you should know by know how these stories are structured..

>>37490344
Cirno and Aunn being friends is really cute.

>>37490344
What happened here?

>>37492948
A little, but this felt more like a silly joke than any kind of commentary. It’s a mellow, mildly funny reason for ancient Japanese spirits to be behaving strangely. Feels very inline with touhou to me.

>>37490047
the dumbest whale in all of Gensokyo

>>37493141
Reimu was sweeping up leaves. Cirno and Aunn made a bonfire out of the leaves, but I guess they stood downwind of the smoke? You can kinda see it in the background there >>37492872

Is anyone else tired of this constant "oh wow something might be happening for realsies this time :^)" just to end up as something quirky and harmless?

>>37493530
fool you twelve times, shame on you

>>37493530
>>37492912
Trust ZUN, nothing can stop what's coming, Reimers is i control.

>>37492899
>>37492269
Tomoki Tomonori is probably already drawing the next doujinshi.

>>37490047
Loved this chapter. It was a fun twist!
Gonna dump it for people who prefer reading here.

>>37493826
Thank you anon, mangadex keeps crashing my browser.

>>37493893
play with tengu children, you say?

>Okina shows up
Does this mean something is FINALLY happening?

>>37493882
No problem! I use a script called mangadex-dl.py (on github) to download manga from the terminal. I'm not sure if that'd be any use to you, since it almost requires you to be able to browse mangadex, since you need to know the URL of the series, but the more you know.
(The script is easy to use, but not the best for automated bulk downloading, since it takes user inputs rather than command line arguments. You can modify it yourself, since it's just a single python script.)

>>37493893
Those tengu children look a lot like small Ayas and Hatates. Coincidence?

>>37493941
Im afraid no. The biggest new development from this chapter is that cirno and aun play together.
And hey, someone finally drew dancer.

>>37493956
Probably not actually. This is likely an actual glimpse into Ayas childhood. Meaning Hatate is her childhood rival which is cute.

>>37493956
it's based on mamis imagination so not really.

>>37493969
If that house was around when Aya was young it would be fossilized by now.

Thanks for dumping

Anyone has the last few omake illustrations? This new translator never includes them.

>>37493530
I'm tired of this shitty translator and wish someone would upload the official ones or raws.

>>37493958
>we're you able
we are you able

>>37494034
There's no need to post this faggotry too

>>37498525
Is slavery allowed in gensokyo?

>>37498555
zashiki-warashi sweatshops

>>37498575
I mean the dancers, but their situation is probably worse than slavery.

I liked Wild and Horned Hermit. Wild and Horned Hermit was good. This, however, is an atrocity.

Didn't read WaHH, didn't read FS. Read the fairy manga, read this. It's good.

>>37493982
This Zashiki-Warashi is really cute

>>37493895
Typo, son!

>>37495443
clartranny was shit and the official was shit too
what's the problem with this one

>>37495443
>and wish someone would upload the official ones
"goblins"

>>37510719
GHOULS

>>37495443
You fucks always have something to complain about, translate them yourself if they are so bad

>>37511534
Not saying the official translation is good of course

>>37510719
>>37510752
>I am unable to appreciate an overall better translation because I am incapable of replacing one word in my mind when reading dialog

>>37512049

>>37512049
The official translation gets many things wrong and not just the ghoul bit, its incredibly blatant that whoever did the official translation was not familiar with the series and did it pretty much blind. Die on this rock if you must but just letting you know you look incredibly fucking retarded while doing it.

>>37512360
So wise and smart!

>>37512049
Way to unmask yourself, fucking outsider phony.

How long as this shit been going? Are either of the ongoing manga going ANYWHERE?

>>37513185
mima soon

>>37513185
Like all 2hu manga, nothing happens for 60 chapters, then we get one epic final battle.

>>37512049
Hating Clarste is understandable, and probably the natural and correct order of things, but I would not call the official translation "better".

>>37510681
>clartranny was shit and the official was shit too
>what's the problem with this one
It's shit.

>>37510752
>>37510719
I got used to the ghosts-phantoms thing in the accepted fanslation scene being retarded, so I don't care what Jap monster names are translated as. I know what they are and so do you. I can just read the raws if I had them anyway.

>>37511534
gib rawz plox

>>37492948
ZUN has in fact directly stated that current events references are some of his favorite to make despite knowing full well they'll be dated later.

Final image.
Now get translating if you can feel like you can do a better job

>>37490047
Unless I'm mistaken, the new artist for the satori manga has collaborated with the artist for OP pic on every doujin they've done. Wonder how the OP artist feels

>>37513985
Omake image where?

Ouch...

Every single Zashiki-Warashi plans and coordinates to leave the village, set up an elaborate large scale remote work scheme and not one of them tells Hat-Whale anything.

This whole time she's like oh know, my fellow Zashiki-Warashi, what will I do if anything happens to them and they're like fuck that bitch, die alone.

Saddest part, she still calls them friends in the end.

Also isn't never appearing in front of humans a great way to be forgotten.

>>37514737
I honestly can not imagine Whale is a zashiki warishi, and that'll be the big "twist" of the manga.
I know she makes the characters forget but the whole focus of the manga switched from "Whale can give people hallucination fight and is doing it for her own entertainement" to "le whacky youkai (all involving Mamizou of course) bar antics XD" with Whale almost turning into a background character that doesn't do anything.

>>37514202
Those aren't omake images, they're from some other article about ZUN in the same magazine.

>>37515852
>Whale almost turning into a background character that doesn't do anything.
At least she is still in the manga. Satori is completely left behind.

>>37514737
Miyoi probably isn't a snitch like the other ones, so she's cut off from the network. The Z-Ws' job is keeping tabs on the humans and not just helping them after all. She doesn't seem to have contact with Yukari after all. Speaking of snitches, why was Aya so happy to be able to snitch on a fellow Tengu?

>>37528443
Because Aya's kind of a bitch? That and it'd make her look good.

>>37492269
gray haired oji-san is really a madman, he doesn't afraid of youkai or anything.
and on this chapter he reveals himself as a passionate, rough lover!

>>37492269
What a fucking Chad.

>>37530942
As expected of the guy who survived Mamizou's kidnapping and fuckathon weekend.

>>37490047
Who?

>>37528443
Aya is scum but the cute and loveable kind of scum.

>>37492269
>>37530942
>>37492269
The oji-sans are a discreet but very welcome new characters to the cast. Completely regular humans unknowingly participating in the antics of the supernatural, and who would be cool drinking buddies.

>>37513201
Hey now WaHH and FS managed that well

>>37545064
Fuck the dumbass whale, these two random old guys are the best new characters of this manga.

>>37546143
What do you have against Visionary Fairies in Shrine, you bastard!?

>>37545064
You think they'll ever accidentally show up at the night bar? What was the name of it anyway? They bothered to name it but they never brought the name up again.

>>37545064
If Gensokyo had a brothel these guys would be the first to use it

>>37492269
4th sage of gensokyo confirmed?

I know that nothing interesting happens in this manga and yet despite that I'm disappointed every time. Maybe I'm just not cut out for this.

>>37555830
Would a Human Sage even make sense? Why would a human want to preserve the Youkai?

>>37563749
I used to feel bad about not following some of the mangas for months or years but when I do I have to wait a month and be disappointed despite not having much expectations from the usual nothing burgers. Might keep doing that again to make this more bearable like reading FS on one go was.

>>37565273
So he can lock them in his basement.
Weak should fear the strong, and strong fear oji-san

>>37565273
Probably to keep the youkai locked within Gensokyo and not have them free elsewhere, you could headcanon one of the first human settlers or those that sealed it to be that maybe.

>>37565273
The first Hakurei was probably human

>>37546464
.... I still haven't finished it due to laziness

I dunno why people only seem to hate the Whale Manga. Its just as eventless as WaHh and FS. Can anyone explain why people here only seem to hate this?
This manga actually felt more character driven than WaHh and is now my favourite. Really expands on many of Gensokyos Characters (Suika, Aya, Kanako, Mamizou etc..) and is a thousand times better than WaHh's endless Reimu get rich quick schemes with Kasen playing straight man.
Why? Shouldnt we encourage more Touhou Manga like this? Or do you guys really hate good stuff?

>>37574585
I reread the Fairy Mangas, GoU,
I reread WaHh today and am in the process of re-reading FS. The passionate hate some people seem to have for this really confuses me.
This has the best plot pacing out of all the Manga yet.

>>37574585
Because bunch of people are overblowing their opinions in echo chamber. Whale manga is fine, just as other were. I think that reason why some people are like that because they are disillusioned about something big actually happening.

Lets be real, touhou mangas are for a most part just slice of life worldbuilding stories and its totally fine. Its just that lots of people got burned because they had high expectations and endings of both WaHH and FS were underwhelming and uneventful.

I think that the big issue is that "big" developments from mangas are often times too subtle and don't compare to what we had in Silent Sinner (like it or hate it) that had pretty focused story and actually expanded setting by a lot, while also giving chance for many different characters to appear in one big story.

So long story short its an issue of expectations

>>37574585
nothing of major significance happens, but the events I find to be even less interesting than the ones in WaHH and FS
I liked some new youkai concept or mythology thing being introduced in every chapter, but lotus eaters is just 'bar threatened -> someone other than miyoi solves it'
kosuzu and kasen had far more agency in their own manga and did far more
I don't care about Miyoi. I don't really care about her issues. Back in the early chapters when she was being weird and sneaking around and then the first couple chapters of the bar stuff, I cared more. if the bar was shut down, it wouldn't mean much to me because all the characters who actually do things would just congregate somewhere else. The only thing I'd actually lament is the oji-sans losing their place to drink

>>37574585
I remember people complaining about FS back then as well, not so much abotu WaHH because WaHH treated itself less seriously through most of it and the usual formula of first chapter hinting at something big then second chapter ending with it being absolutely nothing was way more prominent in FS, just as it is in Lotus.

>>37574585
It's mostly those argumentative crossboarders looking for an argument putting up some fake rivalry between this and detective Satori. However both of those manga have flaws, this one's flaw being that it presented Miyoi as a mystery and potential threat or prankster, yet she's become more of a damsel in distress instead of the youkai that stole Suika's gourd and gave everyone drunken nightmares before erasing their memories. Besides Miyoi neither being explained nor developed, the manga does have a tendency to build up cliffhangers that seem like some major problem is happening and then have them not be anything really. I feel like the Kanako chapters are as far as they should go normally. It also feels like an missed opportunity to have other village youkai show up, but they probably will later. Even if Reisen and Alice visiting are unlikely, at least Sekibanki and maybe were-Keine once. That said, I like it. But I like the fairy manga as well and people seem to pass or dislike those.

As for Satori, it's one big box of fucking nothing after another. The only good thing I can say is that neither of these manga's plotlines can be summed up as "people getting drunk and falling asleep" anymore. I hope Satori is ending soon, because if it goes into another arc after the ghost one, I'm not going to even bother reading. Honestly, I thought the old artists designs, not the art itself, were cute. The new one is dynamic but not interesting enough to show up for alone.

>>37577318
I think that issue with Lotus eaters is that it isn't supposed to be story of its own, but rather just ongoing series for mini stories that may or may not fit into events betwen games now that both FS and WaHH are done.

I do agree with you on Miyoi but that lack of further characterisation comes from her role of being narrator/pov for us to see the stories.

As for there won't be anything after ghost arc, because there is not ghost arc. Seeing how parts of series are directly tied to games which cast is main focus the real question is how many games till we either celebrate Mimas return or witness greatest shitshow in touhou history.

>>37574585
I don't hate it but I didn't like Aya/Mamizou in FS and Suika in WaHH wasn't particularly noteworthy
So when the cast of whaletits consists of those characters and Miyoi (who was interesting at the start) takes a secondary role I don't really see much of a reason to care about this manga until it's done so I can read it all at once

>>37577318
The fairy manga is underrated as all heck. Didnt go into with much expectations but came out very surprised.
Its really fun to read.

>>37565273
Maybe they want to preserve their traditions and powers. The Human Sage might be a Hermit who is afraid of death so she decided to help build Gensokyou to retain her powers and long life spen.

>>37589179
What happens if everyone stops believing in death anyway? Do they all become Lunarians2?

>>37599373
Using yamabikos as an example for this, since youkai seem to work more as gods of the gaps, then the youkai of death (if there's one) would stop existing. Don't think belief alone can change the natural laws but they can influence spirituality. Things like getting rid of the taoist worm thing or of their impurity seem to treat themselves more as natural laws too, don't think they can just believe their way out of influencing them?

>>37490047
>we're
Wtf is wrong with the translation, now I hate trannies so much

>>37603008
What's wrong with it

>>37602765
So they'd go to the afterlife but no one would judge them or place them anywhere? They'd just wander around an empty hell/heaven/limbo/whatever?

>>37603183
Maybe they stope existing entirely after they die? No after life, no heaven, no hell. Just nothing.

>>37611981
That's a scary thought

Speaking of after lifes. How is it decided who is going to judge the dead and under which religion/ believe system they'll be Judge?

>>37612055
Probably funerary rites. If someone prays for you while making the sign of the cross then you go to Catholic heaven, if you're mummified and entombed then Anubis does it, if Orin steals your corpse then you go to old hell.

>>37611990
Remember, this will happen to Miyoi because she's not a human and so has no soul.

bump

>>37513765
>>37513758
What's that bag thing?

>>37490344
>Aunn is dead
Fuck this gay world.

>>37490344
No...

>>37626440
What a cruel world...

>>37626440
That's rude.
Miyoi is a soul herself.

Please let her make people drunk again

>>37695156
those chapters where she made people drunk were very forgettable

>>37704343
Ah, fuck you

>>37493993
The Zashiki Warashi bring good fortune, but they're also spying on people for Yukari. Okina facilitating it seems kinda problematic, I wonder if she'll try and hijack it or if she even knows what Yukari's doing with them.

>>37695156
god I want to sleep on her tits

It's over...
