H-hey. A sealed youkai?

D-do you think?

Do you think she might be coming back?

Y-you know...

All joking aside, I'm expecting great things from this manga. I already like Kosuzu. :3

Yes!  Orange is coming back!  She's sealed away by Reimu after all.

When they sealed away, maybe they're referring to how most PC-98 characters just *poofed* out of existence. Maybe they plan on bringing a lot of them back? :o That would make me very happy in so many ways. That would this the BEST touhou related literature known to man        *(IMO)
I finally got ahead!

Hugh, that's kinda lame.
Is only breaking news supposed to go into this thread or is this also a discussion thread for the manga?

Akyu has a record player, although admittingly I'm not completely sure how canon that was.

Patchouli also has lamps in the library, but admittingly they could have been magically powered.

Only if you don't consider the aspect of the fact that electric lamps may be functioning in the human village thanks to the power network that most likely had been established thanks to the Moriya Shrine, the kappa, and the Utusho creating a power soruce that I guess by now has reached the human village.

Still, they're probably a rare thing though, since most modern products like that don't make it to Gensokyo very easily. Though there's always the kappa. Just another example of Gensokyo slowly adopting some modern influences that would otherwise be kept away from it. And to think, the Moriya Shrine and most of youkai Mountain achieved this in 4 years.

As for what this thread is... It's BOTH! Mostly to discuss the manga in general though.
That's one small step for man, one giant leap for Otaku Kind.

Kosuzu's cheerful attitude when Reimu came around...is it just me, or did that seem like she was faking? To avoid having Reimu take the books, probably. She didn't pick the safest of hobbies, did she?

Pff, as if Reimu reads.

I don't think the attitude is faked. Her attitude throughout the chapter never changed, and it isn't like she hid anything from them. She is probably depending on Reimu for when something goes wrong though, I think she already knows she's going to start something. The book with butterflies coming out of it clearly is the hinting factor so far.

Reimu is very good at cultural stuff and youkai knowledge, so she would be your go to girl for your youkai problems.

I view it as if she has a "sales smile" on whenever she's interacting with others. That doesn't necessarily mean she's hiding anything, but she's also faking her cheerfulness. You can see when she's reading the books that her true smile is a bit different.

This is important news, but isn't worth its own thread.

According to an editor's twitter (and Amazon's listing), the November issue of the Chara★Mel Febri manga magazine has been delayed to Dec 10. This means we'll have to wait a few more days for another chapter of WaHH.

At this moment, we are still not 100% sure whether Forbidden Scrollery is published every month or every other month (the Comp Ace magazine itself is a monthly, but its previous Touhou manga, Touhou Sangetsusei ~ Oriental Sacred Place, is published every other month). We may soon know the answer when this month's Comp Ace comes out in a few days.

I'm doing a little nit picking and wanted to ask some things about chapter 1 page 1. First of all does anyone know what is on the left margin? Second, panel 3, I think this panel is supposed to show us Akyuu's reaction but I have no idea what her reaction is. Is she surprised? If so why? Also is she saying what's in the speech bubble? Third, panel 4, is my translation weird or is Akyuu growling. Mine says "GRR". Wha- Why? If she's surprised in panel 3 how is she now... angry to the point of growling?

By "page 1", you mean the first black & white page.

>Left margin
In Japanese manga magazines, the margins are always used for miscellaneous info. In this case, it has nothing to do with Touhou.

>Akyuu's reaction in Panel 3
Her surprise is... obvious?

>Panel 4
Akyuu is making a "Mmmm..." sound in the original Japanese. She's searching for words to say.

Ugh, not sure what the page actually is but you seemed to have gotten it. Does anyone know what the left margin says? I'm just curious.
Thanks for the help. I guessed it was surprise but I dunno. I guess I over thought the panel. "Anime character have big eyes anyway so how do you show surprise?"

Maybe growling is a bit much, but the basic idea is that she's annoyed at Marisa for changing her tone. Marisa starts out by apologizing for bumping into her, but switches to "oh, it's just you" when she realizes who it is. No one likes being called "just you". The whole exchange implies that Marisa doesn't think she's worthy of respect. This is brought up again later in the chapter when Kosuzu does the same thing. The other translation put "Humph" there. The basic idea is that she's making an annoyed pouting sound.

Best part was Marisa just dumping a bucket of water on Reimu

That was a good chapter.  The art's really really cute.  I like Akyuu's medium-length hair and Reimu's cold weather boots.  Also I think this might be the first time we've seen Reimu without her hair loopies and ribbon in canon.  Has this happened before?

Did Marisa use Kisume's bucket to douse Reimu with water?  Reimu's face was pretty priceless there.

It looks like the smoke thing is currently possessing Reimu, like the kami did in Silent Sinner in Blue.  But Reimu didn't notice it, so maybe it's just hiding her in clothes.  I'd speculate that since she was so cold, she wanted to get warmed up, and having an anti-Cirno around/inside her seems like a good deal, right up until people think she's actually on fire, of course.

Spoiler:
The three fairies were hiding (badly) behind some big leaves outside the shrine. They might just be conjuring the illusion of smoke to pull a prank. iirc there's not been anything but a visual of smoke, which would be completely realistic for Sunny Milk to pull off.

Spoiler:
Kosuzu does make it sound like the smoke might actually be something, though. Of course... the fairies might have just been inspired by it and done their own little thing on the side. Heheh, troublesome buggers :3 Not impossible they were just watching on the sidelines with interest, though.

Also, I have no idea what all the japanese symbols around the smoke in some panels are supposed to mean D:
