That feeling when en dot touhouwiki dot net slash wiki slash potential underscore comics.

Scanlation of the most recent chapters will most likely resume soon.

>On April 20, 2011, Makoto Hirasaka announced on his website that he has been hospitalized, and that Oriental Sacred Place will go on hiatus.

>>7292440
That feel when only first 7 chapters I read already

>>7292450
If there are scans on the internet, somebody is almost absolutely guaranteed to have posted them to Voile and linked them to touhouwiki.

>>7292452
Oh...no luck there...guess there aren't any

though that cover looks like a scan to me, maybe my eyes have gone bad.

>>7292452
Okay, that's not quite true, it's conceivable that they could be floating around off in nipponland somewhere, but if /jp/ knows about them they would probably be up in short order.

>>7292461
I think someone had the links to the magazine scans, I had the link but its nowhere to be found in my favorites.

That and wasn't there some guy on poosh who had it, he scanned the CD and posted some pics of a few parts of it

What chapters are you missing?
http://0rz.co/blog/277769.htm

Well, shit.

Looks like my faith in the Nameless Fairies was false.

>>7292473
Oh excellent, this is good

Though, aren't there 2 more chapters?

>>7292479
東方三月精～Oriental Sacred Place 第12話｢紅白信仰合戦｣(ｺﾝﾌﾟｴｰｽ2011年2月号)
東方三月精～Oriental Sacred Place 第13話｢すずめ百まで｣(ｺﾝﾌﾟｴｰｽ2011年4月号)

Only these are missing.

>>7292473
Oh, so there ARE scans, that's cool.

I asked the question somewhere before but didn't get much an answer; is there any difference between the releases on the magazine and the tankoban?

>>7292523
There's a high-five between Reimu and Marisa, and it's censored in the magazine.

>>7292524
Uhm...please show?

>>7292523
Wait...where did you get that

>>7292543
From myself?

>>7292523
Hirasaka did Mystia, my nutbladder is questionably ready. Where get

>>7292524
I thought that was just poorly done shoop.

OP, you know what sort of carnage a book has to go through to be decently scanned?

Funny how everyone bickers about inconsequential things and misses all the important posts...

>>7292442
Oh god, can't wait.

>>7292550
So you got yourself the tankobon?

...you know, if you ever get bored and have some free time that you don't know what to do with, you could, well, umm...

Bleargh, I would've posted sooner but I got a bit...carried away with something.

>>7292750
Well, truth is...I tend to have a lot of free/spare time I don't know what to do with.

Here's Chapter 12 since it wasn't linked here.

http://www.mediafire.com/?idk5qhg7b0w8593

In terms of raws, its bleeding. I've done BASIC editing (seperating/ordering the pages, and a bit of contrast stuff).

Page centers are still there. Most importantly, any page where a panel goes into the spine, will be blurry on the edge (most on page 17/18 since its cross-page landscape), since I didn't really feel like murdering my book juuust yet...unless someone can give me pointers on not how to rape it to get those hard to reach pages.

I'll do the same for chapter 13 if anyone would want it...as for the whole thing? Is it necessary?

>>7292953
Well

That was faster than expected

>>7292953
I think I love you.

Personally, I don't care about quality, I just want to read it.

>>7292953
...and yeah, there's no point redoing the whole book, since there are a decent-quality scans already, but chapter 13... pretty please?

>>7293013
I could've swooooorn I've seen one of the pages from chapter 13 before, but okay.

I also scanned the whole book, but a lot of pages are of not-so-great quality (fuzzy near binding as always). Good to know there are the magazine scans already.

>>7293019
Single pages tend to show up on Futaba. No complete package so far, though.

>>7293019
Isn't an issue really. The Fairy Wars special chapter RAW was the worst scan I ever had to work with. With the right amount of work one can still make it look good.

>>7293046
Oh...ouch...

Mind giving any tips on how to scan better or whatever?

>>7293070
The only real way to get decent page scans without gutters and shadows is to take a book apart page by page. Any other way still involves touching on the integrity of the whole book. I recommend reading this:

http://www.questie.com/manga/ScanEditGuide/scan.htm

Give Reimu food and she'll agree to everything.

>>7293070
I'm guessing the idea is to unbind the book, which you probably don't want to do.

>>7293080
Oh dear bloody lord...I almost got sick to my stomach reading that...

>>7293082
Holy shit, Reimu is wearing socks with sandals. That's sick.

Nice to see the Myouren temple show up. And then every single other character.

a hand scanner, but those are expensive

I think I'm going to bump this thread until chapter 13 scans get posted.

Actually, I'm going to bump it even after that. This is infinitely more important than all other Touhou threads on /jp/ combined.

>>7293454

Is that the only chapter missing? What is the latest one in Japan right now?

When Meiling said scanlation would resume he was probably considering the chats we had recently, I'll probably start commissioning again next month. I need all the RAWs before that though, thanks for everyone in this thread it's extremely helpful.

>>7293473
Due to >>7292445 ... yes, that's the last one.

Sorry for the inappropriately long delay, modem crashed a couple of times while trying to upload it.

Nah, sorry for nagging you about this. You're a gentleman and a scholar.

>>7293729
>Apologizing for not doing a favor fast enough

What's with the colored images, were you really that bored?

also; bump for the interested

I don't think I'm ever going to get over this chapter.

Back to the top with you

If Luna Child was my adopted daughter things would be different around here.

>>7295730

Yes. Fairy daughters. A most excellent plan. I want some too. Exploring Gensokyo and doing all sorts of cool things.

The best.

>>7295740
They never grow up to become shitty teenagers, either.

>>7295780

The only bad part is that they'll surely outlive you. I wouldn't want to make them sad.

>>7295788
Fairies have very poor memories. They won't feel sad for long~

>>7295809

That's actually really sad...To me. Perhaps it would be a good idea to find a way to live much longer.

>>7295809
Well, better than birds, at the very least.

>>7296408
Is it wrong that I feel sorry that Hong has to edit these sometime soon?

Gensokyo is so beautiful in winter.

Also, Gensokyo residents are so beautiful all the time, but thas was posted already: >>7292523

>>I asked the question somewhere before but didn't get much an answer; is there any difference between the releases on the magazine and the tankoban?

Dunno about differences in the normal chapters, but the tankoubons have fucking BONUS CHAPTERS which never gets scanned ;_; Do you have volume 3 of ~SABND? It should have one too.

>>7292523

Any word on that Hermit manga while we are discussing the ZUN stuff? I know there is something about a dragon and a giant eagle appearing as part of the cast in the newest volume.

>>7296888
Yeah, I've seen some pages with Kasen riding a giant eagle on Futaba, but didn't save them, and then futabachan.info died.

It's the same situation as with OSP, really. Scans stopped being available at some point. Tankoubon is out by the end of June.

>>7292473
Hey, I can't dl the second cd.

>>7296947

Don't be surprised; it's a dirty chink site after all. I think that big touhou music torrent has them.

>>7296947
It's weird, now I can't dl the first one (it's ok, I have it)
Will search for it later.
Thanks everyone.

I wasn't joking, I'm really going to bump this until everyone has seen it.

Also, it wasn't just high-fiving.

>>7296880
Well...yeah I do have it, I have all of them save EaLND (fucking expensive to obtain). but I think all chapters were scanned already.

>>7296947
Didn't someone rip the CD here? I know I saw a thread on it once.

>>7296947
http://www.mediafire.com/?kzit54ozn7slz#rsamqxb17nnod,1

Not all in 1 archive file but its something

>>7296880
Don't the magazine chapters have extra messages at the end? I never see those translated.

>>7296880
http://www.mediafire.com/?wd0tzmj1mmd

The bonus chapter was scanned before, make sure to take a peek in MAV every once in a while too.

By scrolling really fast over this thread, I actually saw the Prismrivers in the thumbnail. I know you don't care but I find that funny.

>>7297434
This comic is getting too lewd.

>>7298218
>getting

Oh no, it's been lewd for a long time.

>>7298238

Their wings are gone...Can fairies do that?

>>7298253
Perhaps the wings don't have physical substance? Idunno, the clothes aren't it since the wings just reappear when Luna wakes back up.

>>7298415

Oh well. It's kind of interesting to note at least.

>>7298415
They can also change into maid uniforms without complications...

Cirno's and Sunny's wings could actually be caused by their powers, but that's of course wrong, because all fairies (and even Aya) have wings sometimes.

>>7298415
>when Luna wakes back up.
>chapter ended when they go to sleep

what?

>>7298541
Nah. there's a couple of pages after that.

>>7298645
Mind linking them?

Bump. Don't you want to hear sparrow's great story?

>>7300318
I certainly do.

Because the front page is full of shit yet again.

Fairies can be comically dumb sometimes. But, well, no one ever claimed otherwise.

>>7301333
Awesome that he used the opportunity to show off the cast of one of the games, even if it was just cameo like last time.

>>7301333

Fairies are pretty much eternal children. I can understand why they're considered dumb.

>>7302262
Dumb but undeniably cute

>>7302287

Well of course, like I said, eternal children. Sure they may not know a lot, but they're always so adorable when they do anything.

>>7302254
Pity there was no chance to show off Kyouko yet.

...actually, it would have been pretty awesome if ZUN had given him the hint and we got a spoiler a few months ahead. But he probably didn't have her planned yet by that point.

>>7302439
They're lucky Kyouko wasn't there yet because they would have got their asses yahoo'd into the dirt.

>>7302254
Ichirin is totally baked.

>>7302457
and what else could you be when being followed by a giant pink cloud shaped like an angry old man?

I mean...honestly

>>7301333
What's Reimu mad about here? Those uppity youkai and their temple?

>>7302620
The hell?

Did you never read SaBND or something?

>>7302710
I have but I don't understand what you think I should know here. They're at the Myouren temple and Reimu is getting mad as hell but I can only read a few words of it.

>>7302620
Psst, those 3 are fairies who's sole objective in life is to troll the fuck out of Reimu (which later is revealed that they only want Reimu to recognize them as worthy of making an incident) by means of stealing every piece of food/alcohol she gets (as one of them can turn herself and others invisible) so after Reimu finds out at the end of SaBND she gets angry as fuck. Next chapter (OSP at this point) she invites them to a party and everything is butterflies and rainbows, of course later on they continue on with their mischief.

>>7302747
Do you not see the 3 mischievous fairies attempting to hide from her? If you read SaBND you should at least know the reason.

>>7302620
Yes, pretty much. She thinks they're stealing visitors from her shrine. As if anyone would have visited either way.

>>7302772
Her shrine does get visited, by everyone even.

It's just that those ''everyone'' aren't the kind of people she wants (she wants people from the human village).

>>7302772
Well they probably are, since it's youkai temple.

>>7302784
Stealing youkai visitors she would rather didn't come?

Sounds rather reasonable...now the Moriya shrine, that's more of a threat.

>>7303294
Yeah, that shrine on top of a Death Mountain is stealing all the fragile human visitors Reimu never had.

>>7302254
>>7301333
>>7300318
Where the fuck do you keep getting these?

>>7303310
Did you just really? 0/10

>>7303307
The Moriya shrine is stealing all her youkai too. Reimu should give up on the human faith business and compete directly with the others for youkai hearts.

If you people read you'd know she's more angry at the fairies who have messed with her again, although the human issue is still there.

Reimu PREFERS people from the human village as their prayers are the ones who fuel gods, in this case her yet-unknown god and the other 4 million or so she can summon, although they don't have a shrine of their own.

Youkai always come to her shrine, one or two does at least something useful (Yukari).

Also humans from the village can't come to Reimu's shrine because the youkai-filled forest is in the middle, she still prefers youkai over nothing though.

>>7303426
What I find amusing is that apparently a god's power is determined by how many people know/praise/pray to them.

and last I read from Kourindou, Reimu doesn't even know her own principle god, unless she's just hiding who it is.

Why do shrines have a tendency of placing themselves in inaccessible locations? Hakurei on the border seperated by lots of youkai-infested forests. and Moriya on top of a youkai-infested mountain.

least Byakuren settles near the human village...but she has bias towards youkai, gah


Maybe I'm getting something wrong here

>>7298037
>>http://www.mediafire.com/?wd0tzmj1mmd
>>The bonus chapter was scanned before, make sure to take a peek in MAV every once in a while too.

No no no, that not the one. According to this page
http://thwiki.info/?%A5%B2%A1%BC%A5%E0%B0%CA%B3%B0%2F%C5%EC%CA%FD%BB%B0%B7%EE%C0%BA
there should be a bonus chapter "おまけ　三妖精の一日 つづき" in volume 3.

>>7303532
Oh yeah, the little omake that continues the previous chapter 4-5 wordless pages. Hardly adds anything to the story.

>>7303563
The description for it on the page I linked:

>風が語りかけます。
>ペドい、ペドすぎる。

Makes me want it.

>>7303595
I must concur.

>>7303595
There's nothing erotic in there if that's what you're thinking.

>>7303612
Maybe not to you.

After taking longer than I should have (again), there we go.

Also; Is there aaaaany other missing/unscanned material from the 3 fairies books? I have all 5 (don't have EaLND ;_;)

>>7303713

Huh?

So...
Has anyone tried this?

>>7303799
I don't trust anything suggested by fairies.

OKAY, after this I'm going to SLEEP, now to actually link it

After taking longer than I should have (again), there we go.

Also; Is there aaaaany other missing/unscanned material from the 3 fairies books? I have all 5 (don't have EaLND ;_;)

>>7303805

I could trust them at least a little bit. Maybe I'm just naive though.

>>7303809

From the things listed at the thwiki page, the only things for which scans are missing (counting your contributions) are under the "番外編" section:
"第0話　桜の距離　続き "
and
"第1話　五月雨の五月晴 "

Don't think they are in the tankoubons though.

>>7303809
Thank you

I think I figured out (a possible explanation for) the wings part. They just fold them.

>>7303809
Thank you yet again.

>>7303426
>she still prefers youkai over nothing though

Not really.

No one wants to buy Cirno's ice... ;_;

>>7304031
Ran is short.

>>7304031
Cirno wondering why nobody likes her ice is far more depressing than it was probably intended to be.

>>7304031
Wow, I didn't notice Hatate at first. Does she feature anywhere else?

>>7304060
She's in Wild and Horned Hermit taking a photo of the Moriya cold fusion experiment.

>>7304044

looks like they are all squatting judging by Reisen's feet.

>>7303826
I guess I'll take your word for it since I can't really figure out what those are supposed to be anyways.

>>7304044
Looks like they're squatting to me

yeah, look in the bottom-right

>>7303809
Oh shit, more

Just what all books do you have?

Sleep-deprived but paranoid, doing silly things like looking through the .rars to make sure I didn't goof something, like how >>7304031 is blurry in the bottom-left. It'd be helpfulnice if anyone who notices faults that I CAN fix without cannibalizing anything, would say something so i can rescan or something.

That's just assuming Hong isn't magical and can fix the blurriness himself.

>>7304268
Strange and Bright Nature Deity 1-3, Oriental Sacred Place 1 and 2, Bohemian Archive, and Grimoire of Marisa. I assume the latter two are already scanned/transcribed/whatever.

So where from /jp/ is taking their scanlated and translated touhou managa? (work safe one).

I finished reading that 10 gb torrent and I can't find more...

>>7303496
Kourin said that he couldn't get the chance to ask Reimu for her own god, nothing else. Probably ZUN-ways of avoiding the leak of information.

>>7305514
>ZUN-ways of avoiding the leak of information

You mean ZUN's way of not having to come up with anything until he actually needs it for the plot.

>>7305628
ZUN's liver is going to hold for at least 5 or 6 more years. That's a fair amount more content he has to make. No sense explaining everything at once.

>>7306494
ZUN will hopefully adopt some kid that will inherit the touhou franchise and keep it going. Maybe someone from /jp/.

Myschi must have more control over sight impairments than previously thought. For starters, she's giving me tunnel vision anytime she shows up.

A chapter about your favourite Touhou is truly the best chapter.

>>7308456
Lucky. I don't believe I'll ever see Satori in an official comic. Not counting image cameos and minor things.

>>7308519
I did not believe I'll ever see Mystia either.

At worst, you'll have to wait four more years. Or maybe not, given how much WaHH plot has been revolving around evil spirits and hot springs, it could reasonably go underground any month now.

>>7308456
Ayafag here.
You are so right. She wasn't even in "her" chapter that much and I still loved it.

>>7308539
Well, that was one of the best chapters overall, too.

ZUN can be a brilliant writer when he wants to.

>>7308519
It is rather disappointing that those casts haven't shown up really, but understandably so, I imagine it takes a bit of thinking to figure out just how to get the fairies in a situation where they are in the palace of the earth spirits.

They did it with the SDM, maybe he'll figure out a way.

>>7308581
Reimu dropping the bals.

>>7308612
She clearly threw them Hong, are you going senile already?

>>7308536
Oh I hope so. A whole chapter with Satori and/or Okuu would be grand.

ZUN also said (I heard?) that a new book is coming this summer. Which might have content with neglected characters, if it's interviews or something.

>>7308704
>a new book

Well, there's WaHH volume 1 released in June, so he might have been talking about that. Well, hopefully not. There's never too much supplementary material.

>>7298238

>>7303426
She doesn't give a shit about the god at her shrine. Reimu just wants money for her daily expenses

>>7309208
Yeah right, it's her job to keep the god alive, otherwise her shrine maiden-ness would be for nothing, hence all the petty rituals she makes in SaBND.

Also, secondary, Reimu doesn't care about money, CoLA says so.

>>7308704
HHHNNNNGGGG
I DON'T KNOW WHICH I WANT MORE OF, AKYUU OR AYA?

Here's an idea, Hatate tries to copy Aya and makes her own Bohemian Archive.

Would be unrealistic to expect more Marisa Grimoire.

>>7308581
Possible scenario: Sunny hears that a youkai underground can make suns, so she goes to see if being near her will supercharge her powers.

>>7309816
>secondary

Stop that.

Also, you probably allude to this quote:

>She doesn't listen to others and has no understanding of the concept that things have a value, a price. To her, money is nothing more than some sort of paper or metal.

And no, it's not saying she doesn't care about money. It says she doesn't care about paying. There's a not-so-subtle difference.

>>7309855
Uhh, that's an unnecessary overcomplication. Here's a simpler one: the fairies go bathing in the hot spring.

...wait, that would require them to... no. No no no. That was a bad idea, forget about it.

>>7309903

>>7309956
i'll sexualize YOU

>>7309972
Please, no!

>>7309887
That sentence was alluding to a scenario where Reimu showed off a lack of interest in economics, Rinnosuke just took the chance to reveal that. It clearly says that money is just an inconsistent way of paying something back or using it as a means of value of any kind, which by the way, your way of saying it also implies that she does not care about it. The very fact that she doesn't consider money as a way of payment shows that she doesn't consider it valuable, or at least doesn't hunger for it, in other words.

And also, donations classify as an act of faith according to the description of the gods, which is Reimu's job to keep alive, should you or someone just go spamming the word donations like most people around here as a reference has only happened once in the series.

>>7309956
Too late

>>7309989
Right. Reimu being sad about her empty offertory box is more about the lack of human visitors than the money. Getting visitors for is her #1 desire. Not just for faith either, it's her shrine so its sorry state is a reflection of her.

>>7308539
>>7308552
I love the artist of Faeries. He has such a cute drawing style.

>>7309989
Reimu is perfectly clear about what she wants.

>she doesn't consider money as a way of payment

Huh?

>"Why? Are you kidding? A business, you see, requires customers to pay a suitable price for their services."
>"I know that much. I pay the normal shopkeepers when I go shopping. The same goes for my shrine. Wishes are granted in return for donations."

>>7310061
"normal" shopkeepers

>>7310061
There are more direct references to money than I remembered... well it's still all about having a functional shrine, which was my impression before.

>>7309903
Hey, he managed to get them in meido outfits, why not.

>>7310475
Insanely pedo-erotic meido fairies~

>dont_sexualise_us.jpg

I hate these little shits.

>>7311082
Why? Are they not pedo-erotic enough?

I think I want the book Mystia is reading from.
