Wish I knew more about the Touhou world. Seems like new characters keep popping up that I've never heard of.

Those two are awesome.

Is it Kanako & Suwako that you don't know about, or Koishi, the so-called subconscious of Gensokyo?

Suwako and Kanako are gods from outside who came to Gensokyo with their wind priestess, Sanae, who is actually a descendant of Suwako but doesn't know it. Suwako is an ancient land god associated with water, frogs and iron rings. Kanako is a sort of a regional god who came later, to fight Suwako and win her territory and eventually they worked out a kind of coexistence. In a way, they're now-friendly adversaries who are bound together, much like Kaguya and Mokou.

Koishi is the sister of Satori, and the two sisters had the ability to read minds with their third eye. They retreated to the underground/old hell, along with the oni, because they were hated/driven out of the surface long ago. Koishi sealed her third eye and gained power over the subconscious, often becoming invisible as people wouldn't be able to notice her presence. She largely lives directed by her own instinct.

That pretty much covers the basics, I think.

Oh, and Cirno is an ice fairy who likes freezing frogs and so pisses Suwako off since they're her creatures. She's an idiot.

Thank you for clearing that up :O I had no idea their story was so dense. Is there a Touhou anime? I never looked into it because I thought everything Touhou is an adaptation of a video game.

No anime. It's a series of video games that give a pretty rough framework and characters, plus a few canon manga stories (that you can find under the Canon tag here if you're so inclined) that give the basics for a number of characters. But a lot is fanon as well, and it seems like Zun (the creator of the games/writer of the manga) is cool with that.

Personally, I learned about Touhou by diving in the deep end and just started to read the doujins, figuring out who was who and how they related to each other (with minor help from Google) as I went.

There's a pretty nice wiki to get more info, if you're ok with that format.
Actually there's two wikis, but the wikia one is pretty meh.

I'd even say that wiki is a pretty good place to learn about Touhou. It's not much about the events, instead it's more about characters. Even if you take canon game storyline, the characters' past stories are much bigger that what's actually witnessed by players.

This was oddly hot...Didn't ship Kanako and Suwako before, but I might now...Kinda weird, tho, since Suwako looks and kinda acts like a kid.
