Why is Sakuya such a bitch, lol. I kinda like this series but I really don't know if I was supposed to hate the main ship on purpose here. #StopMeilingAbuse

The comedy is the same as always. Which is gild

I like the pair but I hope Sakuya doesn't stay abusive.

Oh god, I couldn't stop laughing reading this chapter. I'm actually in tears man lol

How does this author keep doing it. They keep finding such incredibly funny ways to okay with Touhou lol

I love their take on Remilia and Flandre's awkward sibling relationship. Remilia being confidently cringe fits so, so well.

I do hope there's some progression for MeiSaku though...the longer it goes on like this the worse I feel for Meiling lol

Not really thinking anything

hell, same

It's probably been said but I adore the character dynamics in this one. It's more (more than other comics) leaning towards the characters' canon personalities. I'm so happy Flandre isn't a "uwu I'm so insane! :p" mary sue. Also each chapter is hilarious. Beautiful

I love this series so much I wish it would go on forever..

This is incredible. It's perfect. It's everything. This is the pinnacle of Touhou doujinshi. In fact, this may be my favorite portrayal of Gensokyo ever. Everything is just so beautifully and intelligently done. I'm usually not a fan of doujinshi taking strong liberties with headcanons and the like, but everything in this just makes so much sense, it may as well be cannon. Koakuma has a room in the back of the library? Never mentioned in cannon but she definitely has to live somewhere, so there's no reason she couldn't. Meiling has drinking parties with Komachi and Suika? Never mentioned in canon but both Komachi and Meiling feel overworked and everyone in Gensokyo likes to drink, so why wouldn't they?

One thing I've always been a little put off about in official Touhou works is how mean everyone is to each other. In this though, everyone has the absolute perfect level of comradery with just a twinge of spice. This chapter especially with Satori. In canon, everyone hates her for her mind reading, so seeing her have a good time with the other characters in this chapter was so freaking heartwarming and cathartic. Even little things like Remilia being so excited that she just looks at Satori and talks to her through her thoughts, and then Remi and Koakuma asking Satori to use her mind reading powers to see if the two fairies liked each other. And then the portrayal of the sibling relationships as well, like Remi saying how proud she was of Flan for eating food she's usually picky about, and Satori calling Koishi her pride and joy, it's just, aghfhjsue IT'S SO GOOD!!!

This is just the portrayal of Gensokyo I've longed for ever since I've gotten into Touhou, which is "what if everyone was super gay and friendly with each other" and it's just done so God damn well. And everyone is so gosh darn pretty too, and their outfits are gorgeous. It's the perfect culmination of everything that is good in the world: friendship, love, pretty girls, and lesbianism. Genuinely, words cannot describe the amount of joy this series gives me. I could write a 50 page thesis on why this series is perfect. I literally don't think it's possible to do better than this when it comes to Touhou, to the point where it's killed some of my inspiration to make Touhou works because I know it is mathematically impossible to do better than this (jk(half-jk)).

Ladies of the Scarlet Devil Mansion is truly, unequivocally, undeniably, and emphatically, peak.

Pushing your GF into a drinking contest with an oni, when they are not themselves an oni, and refusing to let them tap out... is that just abusive or should it qualify as an attempt on one's life?

That being said the cute stuff was quite cute.

Best chapter so far (I say this about every chapter).
Koakuma is always so stylish, I love the liberties the author takes with everyone's clothes.

Please do, I'll read it.

Goals.

Sweet sleep pillow lol

Totally agree with that praise. Some of the official portrayals like Cheating Detective Satori, it's impossible to see how the Scarlet Devil Mansion inhabitants could have lived together for centuries without killing each other or leaving because they all seem to hate each other and be miserable. This manga does these characters far better, imo, by portraying them as a family of dysfunctional people who still love each other for the most part. Amazing how making things openly gay opens up so many doors to be interesting and funny.
Zun, retire bitch. Time for Risui to take over.

I was waiting for some Scarlet x Komeiji moments to happen at some point, and I'm overjoyed.
This has been absolute peak touhou material, looking forward to even more of it.

Im really late on this release, Ive only had the kagumoko tab for way too long. That aside amazing chapter!!! The series just keeps getting better, might consider buying a physical copy to support...
