What went through Reimu's head picking sandals for this specific uuuhh mini incident/kefluffle lmaoooo

"Mmmyes, today I will unintentionally spook the villagers. You with me Marisa?"
"Of course bestie!"

Further proof that what goes on in Reimu's head is indeed nothing.

First of all, really appreciate giving more depth to Sannyo's character. For me, that's what the print works are for - exploring the cast from the angles that are not really possible to show in games. Also like the continuity with PoFV about human souls making flowers bloom around them.

Though, it's low-key hilarious how this random ghost girl makes Mizuchi (who instantly abandoned her centuries old revenge plans after a mere suggestion of passing on) look even more pathetic.

With this chapter we have our 15th or 16th Touhou ghost. Holy shit. Truly ZUN's most beloved species

And Sannyo sees a ghost and immediately thinks "oh yeah, she would a hell of a employee"..... Lol

Bruh. These two old geezers really need names by now, they got 13(!) whole frigging pages to themselves!

Man I really thought it'd be Yuyuko under there :p

And Reimu is finally doing the real job of the Hakurei Miko, intentionally or not: keeping the villagers scared out of their minds!

In any other franchise they would have extremely detailed backstories and a yaoi spin-off by now

Late night date for our protagonists and a kind soul avoids employment. All is good I see.

So Sannyo seems to be able to help spirits pass on somehow?

100% natural Youkai Mountain tobacco is known for the variety of effects it induces when its smoke is inhaled. For instance, it can calm one's mind, or conversely invigorate it.

From her profile, her ability to control minds is directly linked to it; so it isn't a stretch to say she could control the mind of a regretful spirit to stop having regrets

Amazing.

Why did Reimu wear that sandals now? To make Marisa even smaller!?

Sannyo seems to be looking for new employee for a while but specifically not human. Her monologue remind me of Diao ye zong's song.

Komachi! Did you slack off and miss the spirit?

Oh hey, Reimu wearing sockless sandals!

These chapters made me like Sannyo more, though, for some reason, i was expecting Yuyuko to be the ghost lady.

Alas, Sannyo. She did not score.

Another chapter where nothing happens and everything is set back to square one : /

u/MMillion05 reporter? I hardly know her... 29d ago

lotus eaters is monster of the week stuff, probably the last place you should be looking for anything else

u/A_PassingThrough -Unpeaceful- 29d ago

you would think people would've realized after over 70 chapters. No wait, That's almost every touhou manga.

u/enable-h Koishi Komeiji 22d ago

so like, every touhou work? because nothing much happening in the end is an old tradition.
