This and the previous one seem quite bad, honestly. I'm usually a big fan of dark Touhou, but here it feels like going for cheap shock value with no interesting story being told underneath the angst. Yukari monologuing for 15 pages straight, dumping soooo much exposition... ugh. Pass.

Man, that final was almost as unexpected as the Spanish Inquisition (At Least For Me)

CRAAAAAAAWLIIIIING IN MY SKIIIIN

I feel like this is a paradox in itself. Reimu and Marisa were essentially deemed essential by a force controlling Gensokyo. No matter how their lives end, they will always be reborn without their memories. It's like Akyuu.

Another problem I have with this manga: things just happen, because the author deemed they will happen. There is no purpose for Yukari's monologue to happen, it just does. The author does lampshade this, but I don't think that actually makes it any better. Ditto the Shock Twist. It's completely out of character for Marisa to kill Reimu just to make a point. I've read a very believable story where Marisa committed suicide that actually moved me to tears. There's a decent story where she ascends to become a Magician youkai and kills Remilia in revenge because she thinks that Remilia killed Reimu, too. But here she just kills Reimu for edge value, not because it's something that she would ever believably do in this situation. The Marisa I know is someone who would work as hard as she can to become stronger and defeat Yukari, not commit murder-suicide with the person she cares about most. "Marisa got the Yukari audiobook version of the wikipedia article on determinism and then became a murderer to prove she has free will"... bleh. I really dislike this manga. It's so cheap to use character death as though it automatically adds merit to your bad writing.

may I ask what the manga's name is?

This is a sequel but yeh not so good like the other one. Its a bit forced kinda cool but yeah a bit too forced

Marisa to kill Reimu just to make a point. I've read a very believable story where Marisa committed suicide that actually moved me to tears. There's a decent story where she ascends to become a Magician youkai and kills Remilia in revenge because she thinks that Remilia killed Reimu, too.

There's lots of depressing Touhou doujins, so can't say this is for sure the one Anjelika was talking about. Passion For Your Sake does have Marisa attempt suicide though.

Wow... dark

A shame really, I really like "Why I don't eat human" by this same artist. These two series with Reimu and Marisa feel really lacking in comparison.

Also, does anyone know which works Anjelika mean with Marisa becoming a magician and killing Remilia?

All I got to say is "WTF IS GOING ON, AND WHY THEY DO THIS???" sobbing :(

Hold up let me get this straight, reimu keeps dying and marisa takes her place each time and later gets pragnent, gives birth to twins who later become the next reimu and marisa and then the cycle repeats until yukari decides to reveal it to marisa who in turn kills reimu and herself to stop the cycle, yup totally good story writing what could go wrong.

Idk why this is getting so much hate. I honestly think this is a very well done story and not that far off the Canon. The writing and art style are amazing too.

I really did enjoy this one too, as Omarmashli said, was a very well done story.

This version of gensokyo can go die in a ditch along with all of it's damn youkai

Lmao I can so clearly tell this author watched the matrix sequels before writing this because Yukari's big dumb speech and the contents of it are almost exactly what the Overseer says to Neo in the third matrix movie iirc.
This was really contrived in a completely unnecessary way, if you want dark fucked up depressing Gensokyo you can just do it without needing to justify it, like that one doujinshi by the author of Girls Last Tour with Alice, who has lost her mind with grief after Marisa died, becoming obsessed with making a perfect Marisa doll. That sure didn't need to spend 90% of its pages establishing lore to try to justify being dark and fucked up!
