From the beginning, I was worried about what type of situation I would have to endure in this read. Despite the somewhat convenient ending that ties everything back into place, I enjoyed every bit of the story.
I liked how Akyuu, Kosuzu and their friendship were portrayed, and as Specialstage said, I also enjoyed the absence of influence from youkai this time. It was truly a story of the "Gensokyo of Humans", and a good grasp of how the daily life in the village would be. I love how Touhou's lore can still be so interesting even when the most prominent fantastic elements are left aside, just by making good use of its human characters,
I also was happy for Akyuu finally finding another good purpose to continue to write the chronicles. It had some interesting reflections about death, how to spend life, and one's legacy after they're death. Another nice Touhou doujin, and I'm gonna put it into my favorites now!
