That was so CUTE!

Now I need some insulin though :p

Great art, a funny story and a decent treatment for Reisen (all things considered), and Reisen look stunning on those clothes :D

Hope we see more of this artist!

Reading through this thread I see that the upload request menu can be used to request for images but since the format seems to be thought just for series/doujinshis I'm a bit lost about the procedure. Would anyone be so kind to explain it to me?

That was a thing :P

And somewhere along the line, Marisa somehow forgot that Shanghai was sentient, and at the same time Shanghai utterly forgot that she was in love with Alice first (and that she'd come out as sentient to Marisa already)? Seems pretty thin, continuity wise.

Also, Patchy doesn't claim that she'd confess before they made it. She said she'd confess after Shanghai was human (and indeed, would help her do so). But apparently she forgot somewhere along the line, a lot of that going around.

As an aside, Alice and Patchy already seem to have a de facto relationship going on in Haruhakutai. So I'm not sure this is really a confession story as such. A lot of their pairings seem to just develop without anything so definite as a confession.

I don't see a contradiction here:

• Alice wasn't THAT surprised at Shanghai on the last doujin, if anything she came off more like 'So you really are autonomous, uh?' and she said that Shaghai was already an splendid Youkai.

• Feelings change with the time, is actually pretty common for someone to get over a one sided love over time. And in Patchy's case she just changed her mind after her feelings for Alice grew stronger.

• And let's not forgot that Yohane has changed his mind numerous times about Patchy, she was with Remi on his MeiSaku doujins, then with Alice here and now he's shipping her with Koa (and Remi with Satori)

• While you have a point about Haruhakutai not having an explicit confession I don't know where are you getting that Patchy and Alice were already in a relationship there. Patchy was sulking on the library because she couldn't see Alice and when she actually wen to see her was really embarrased and a little tsunderish.

I read through the two available chapters and it was nice for pass the time but nothing too impressive. Now glancing through the comments a few things:

• The whole thing is played for laughs and frankly, is kind of absurd to start a large diatribe on sadism and bullying when the manga doesn't take itself seriously, is classic japanese humor and is a fictional history.

• If you don't like it, that's perfectly fine, say your piece and don't read the manga. One thing is to discuss the content of it and another to see post after post about how much it sucks, I mean nobody is forcing anyone to read this and there are people who like the series.

People just take things way too seriously nowadays.

Awww, poor Mami.

You guys are being way too stuck up with this, the art is pretty nice and some variety is nice once in a while. And if even then you still don't like it, well, just don't read or comment about it shrug

The way I see this story is this:

1)This doujin (note that it was done on 2010), Alice was still in one-sided courtship with Marisa, while Marisa seemed too young to comprehend the need to love. And Shanghai(Alice's doll) had a very strong affection towards Alice, but couldn't express any of her feelings because she was a doll.

And in the end of this doujinshi, when Marisa took Alice and Shanghai to find a book about how to transform Shanghai into human, of course, in SDM, patchouli showed up, and told Shanghai that she knew what they were up to. Then Patchouli claimed that before they made it, she would have surely confessed her love to Alice, and made Alice her girl-friend.

While Shanghai was totally astonished, Patchouli left a suggestion that Shanghai could well have Marisa instead, when Alice became truelly unavailible

Then comes the second one:

Patchouli did successfully confess her love to Alice, and made Alice her girl-friend

Then the third one:

While Alice becomes really unavailible, and Reimu is already with Sanae, both Marisa and Shanghai become so alone. And at this point of time, Marisa also seems to have grown up a little to realize the need to find someone as a companion of romance, and begins to feel lonely. Therefore, these two somehow end up as a couple, just as Patchouli "predicted" in the first doujinshi of this storyline.

Of course that isn't perfect since Yohane grew as artist and storyteller during this years.

All Yohane's works are on the same 'verse, and so anything with Alice and Marisa is related to this story. Chronologically speaking this is the first on Shangai/Alice story, the final one is this: http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hoshi_utsuro and they have a cameo here:

Hope we eventually get translated the Ran/Shou and Kanako/Hijiri ones .

Really cute but I have to admit that if weren't by the pronouns I'd think this was an ordinary shoujo.

Great story and one of those rare cases of tender and filled with love tentacle sex.

And this confirms again that nothing is more exciting than an hyperactive imagination :D

While the art and the plot are solid. I can't help but feel this story kind of 'soulless', like it doesn't go anywhere and the characters themselves seem like shadows of their former selves at the end. Is really weird.

What a wonderful story, it made cry a little.

This was finished or is in the same limbo as Advent Cirno?

Damn, and just like that my opinion Nonaka changed. What a great ending.

Am I the only one that was hoping for Katou to kick the crap out of Nonaka and left?

Nonaka's kind of a bitch.

Gaku is actually really behind on this series. Most of the translation here has been done by a guy called Clarste. He can usually be found on TVTropes' Touhou thread if you guys want to ask for permission to host his translations

He's also a goon :P

I'm not crying...is just dust...
;_;

So sweet and cute .

Is always good to see Mima :D

Yeah, this actually puts Keiko as either repressed or bi. She's totally into Ran.

Welcome my friend!

And yeah, I never thought of that interpretation for this series. I actually found it boring.

I'm liking this less and less with each new chapter :(
