new (untranslated) chapter is out
if you can read moon runes you can read about the mansion's inhabitants from the moon


vengeful spirit


and the doctor when she sees what you were looking at last night

ok it's been translated (mangadex) and uhh
nothing happened though I suppose now there's a "what if"
to start from the beginning the summary of past events mentions the part where yukari sends out ran/chen to find the spirit because she is "concerned about the effects on youkai"
I don't know if this is just saying she's concerned about the whole spirit draining thing or if it's an abnormal vengeful spirit or not one at all (vengeful spirits are supposed to be lethal to youkai but this one isn't and man that has bothered me for a while)
raymoo wants to stay at eientei because the spirit is after her though we also get the "or she is playing the part" which either suggests she is currently possessed or it's some garbo cryptic yukarin shenanigans involving quadruple crossing and 9001 proxies
also for some reason it constantly mentions that the vengeful spirit can take control of its host including the use of her powers
it's been a given since the beginning but I don't recall it being mentioned this much and in a "bad things can happen!!!1" way 
so I guess pretty soon someone's gonna get possessed and their powers are gonna be used and there's your climax
or something like that
I liked it better than usual I dunno if it's because eientei or because of the signs of something actually happening soon
but now we must wait once more to see hwhat shall happen if something happens

in other, unrelated belated news:


joy to the world, for trobertson is dead

[spongelevator]

ok I cannot say for sure because I can't actually read it
but based on how this panel looks and a handful of translating websites


it seems yeah she is possessed indeed
apparently met someone or something and got possessed
translators say "met shiba" or "met the last bush" (george w bush in touhou??????) 
this sounds like something I should have done my reps to understand as opposed to an actual character's name so I do not know what that means

I don't know if this is near the end of the story because raymoo is possessed and the story probably won't go past SA but why would ZUN get a new mangaka to draw like
five chapters

if anything else happens after translation I shall just edit the post but looking at the pages it doesn't seem anything else really happened






more guya



ok after translation it seems that it's not "raymoo is possessed" it's "marisa is almost sure raymoo is possessed"
turns out our friend shiba AKA george w bush is yukari if that matters
since we already saw that meeting I'm guessing it is not of particular interest and it was just brought up again because nobody else in the manga saw
but the main points of this chapter are basically just last chapter except more explicit
instead of "raymoo may be possessed" it's "raymoo is probably possessed" and instead of "if someone with power gets possessed it could be problematic" it's "someone with power is probably possessed and if so it will be problematic"
that and a mysterious letter that says "somebody will die at midnight" except this is eientei
since it's all important characters nobody's gonna die anyway or it'll be some random earth rabbit or unrelated human or something 
I don't think there is much that can be done here considering the only relevant people who could die would either revive immediately or be protagonists and therefore cannot die because plot armor
so the two cloaked shadowy figures at the end of the chapter are really the only thing of interest this time around except ehh not really

the closer person's hair is very close to mokou's
and I could see her using a method like this for whatever purpose
considering that she was just told raymoo is possessed and all it's probably just that
there is a 1% chance it's NOT that which then that would be pretty cool but eh it's just that

reisen mentions the letter to them (and marisa reacts pretty... weakly? I don't know how to explain it but it did not look natural to me) which would mean mokou and marisa cloaked themselves and stood up on the roof for an action shot before proceeding to get back down off the roof and return to the front of the mansion after leaving the letter
akyuu once (falsely) said mokou was from a lineage of ninjas I guess that explains how she got past all the security undetected lol

I still can't tell if the story is in its earlier or later segments or if this is the climax coming up 
but pretty much nothing changed between the last chapter and this chapter
hopefully something happens next time but people have been hoping that for a long time
what will happen if all the mima theorists are let down at the end of this manga when the vengeful spirit ends up being a pissed off tojiko?
find out next time in a full month

[spongelevator]

ok new one is out

the "cliffhanger" last time was indeed just marisa and mokou again and the warning was also aimed towards guya (an immortal) so it's not of any real threat
guya was "spirit drained" and marisa was caught entering eientei (unsure where she was found) while raymoo was caught snooping around
considering the warning I have no idea why everyone just left guya unattended to be coma'd while marisa broke in
especially because eirin is supposed to be "the brain of the moon" yet in this moment appeared to have a brain of cheese
not to mention the unusually high security level which was set up for this very situation 
even the manga seems unsure as to why they did that, basically just saying "yeah uhh we just didn't think about it"
raymoo did say something like "there was no intruder and it was made up so eirin could catch me snooping around" so I guess either she doesn't know because she's been in confinement since she was caught or there were two separate "intruder" events here

it seems to be "raymoo is not possessed and the spirit intends on pressuring her" so I suppose eirin heavily implying that raymoo is possessed is either straight up wrong or it was correct and we just don't know yet
I thought eirin was supposed to be like the most intelligent person in the entire gensokyo and able to solve things before they even play out and stuff
and the only time I remember her being straight up wrong is when she said "yeah the lunar capital could toootally beat hell" in whatever manga that was
I guess this is just more of that
when marisa said raymoo is possessed that could be a case of the vengeful spirit in marisa talking and purposely trying to make things seem that way but that's with the assumption marisa is definitely possessed
so I dunno what to expect here

also marisa is the new  "implied to be possessed" now but mokou is missing so I dunno

mimers can have their five seconds of glory now that mimer jr. is suspicious by default
I literally forgot if the vengeful spirit is even supposed to transfer by drink anymore considering how easily it seems to be moving around in these chapters so I have no idea which character is more likely to be able to have done this or what
but eh another month I guess
maybe next time mee muh finally shows up and then the manga ends immediately

good evening, ladies, gentlemen, spongelevator, and mima. i bring to you a post following a triplepost that does not respond to it at all. thank you for your contribution, mr. levator, but i will be taking it from here. i promise i did actually read all your posts



so what's been going on? what has the elder komeiji been up to these days?

well, not much. marisa and reimu are both incarcerated at eientei just for hanging out. unfortunately those with a stick up their ass call hanging out "soliciting". they are being treated very unfairly







heres something



i did not know this was the case. interesting? i dunno



we can see reisen's artistic skills on display (she is proficient for being a soldier turned pharmacist)





the current most likely culprit is mokou, but it is still mima. next update coming in like half a month, presumably when the next chapter drops

[spongelevator]

ok I felt a disturbance so I went to go check myself this morning and it was not there
checked again just now and new one's out and it does not seem like anybody cares yet (also not translated)
ok I was wrong for a short while I had believed I found this pretty early but nah
four hours late minimum there's both crusty pixiv arts and people from not japan talking about this
it's the last time I shall be late however as you will see (assuming you didn't already)

literally don't care about this spoiler because it's probably a disappointment to you (also those many people who jumped through four flaming hoops and did a front flip and a back flip and a triple jump and a barrel roll to 100% confirm it's mema!!!! and bet 99999 gold on this and put all their life savings into the miima merchandise or mimacoin or whatever waiting for the boom) and I stopped caring months ago
thought I'd have to wait three years but it was really only 23 days 

it's not mima

apparently this one is named mizuchi but I like the cool mizuchi

(get it cool because ice(water))

honestly what we got doesn't really make any sense because of the whole "character has been there since the beginning" thing so the only ways I could really see this be done is a sumireko-type "rewrite history but not enough information to seem legit" or a pc98 red pixel type "who?"

either way it's a character in a manga I am not going to read (this manga is the most ass manga I has ever done diddly laid my eyes upon) so it'll just be like when I see those gen 9 (or was it 8?) pokemons and think "why is the apple pie a dinosaur"

that's it, now
we don't have to read this anymore
thank you, lord
it's finally over...

[Aeon]

hello?
is this thing on?
can you all- oh yeah, you can hear me.
great, great, sorry about that.
anyway, sorry to interrupt you all like this, but the boys up top had me come here to look for someone. nobody's in trouble, don't worry, we just need to ask some questions.
we're looking for a specific person, but we don't really know how to tell who it is. there's just a few clues to go off of.
so we'll just throw out some info, and if one of you knows someone who matches up, or you match yourself, go ahead and step forward.
let's see here... well, she's an evil spirt. "akuryou", am i saying that right?
yeah, and some things that come with that, there's the no-legs bit. she got no steppers, all mist-ghost-like stuff.
right, maybe that narrows it down a bit. next up, here's a big one, her name starts with "mi". we don't really got any extra info on that part, she just has that in her name somewhere. could be written with kanji, could not be, who knows. maybe it's her whole damn name.
and that's about it. the only other thing we know is, well, ms. mi, i'm sorry to out you like this in front of everyone, but she has a bit of a penchant for trickery. again, nobody's in trouble, we just want to drop by and say hello.
(a lone character floats toward the stage)
oh hey, that was fast! you seem to fit the description, with the floatiness, at least. what's your name, kid?
"mizuchi miyadeguchi"
well wouldja look at that, two "mi"s! yeah, this'll do. alright, follow me, you're showing up in the new manga.


so heres the deal
i get up, seven am
i see in the touhou dev server some guy says some shits goin down in cheating detective satori manga
one hour later im already on that as early as possible
bam done wow cool
i'm like "alright heres my chance now i will know something before spongelevator does because he has sworn off this series! ho ho". then i see
"[NEW] participated"
no way right
"cheating detective satori discussion: carpet corner last post by spongelevator EIGHT HOURS AGO"
while i was snoozin this guy already knew
insane. incomparable power

the kid is funny
i hope she gets color eventually
she looks like a vtuber
i like your mizuchi

i think its okay that she was not actually there since the beginning since she was in prison! or hell! i forgot! for presumably all of touhou up to this point

[spongelevator]

lol this one final push towards salvation has allowed me (and probably like 2/3 of the audience for this) to peacefully retire from this chinese soap opera newspaper comic
initially I was thinking "nobody cares about anything but the identity of the culprit" which is why they would leave after but now I'm realizing that since we know how the culprit works and who they are and where they go there's like zero reason left for normal reading too isn't there
like there is actually nothing left unless it turns out this is a red herring (I like herring eat with rice) so many people are just gonna go home after this
I am seeing many people wondering if the manga was rushed due to how poorly paced it is and how it seems to be leading up to something big but it's not something big
and satori doesn't even matter in her own manga and all
honestly now that I am a retired veteran though lol do not care

I like my mizuchi cool he is a WATER SNAKE this new uhhh
thing
cannot match up to my WATER SNAKE that can make ICE and FLAVORED ICE if you have cherry syrup and he can cool down your drink
what is this new one gonna do, possess my drink?...oh

nah actually the "been there since the beginning" thing was like the main relevant plot point man wasn't it wasn't it
something like "she has been watching over the hakurei shrine all along looking for revenge" and "all along" referring to scarlet mist and on
don't really care enough to find it even though I literally just saw almost it
it's the main reason people thought it would be mee maa because "hakurei shrine ghost" despite mima being an "evil spirit" and not "vengeful spirit" and mima not being on bad terms with raymoo at the end of MS? and whatever the hell other stuff that doesn't add up unless ZUN changes things (slightly expected that he might but eh)
a sort of "eh close enough" that makes mima feel like a possibility but makes any new character feel wrongly placed I suppose I do not know though because I do not care


I see many not happy people right now lol

good evening everyone
sanae shows up
kanako stars at her intently as if the impostor would reveal themselves that easily
mokou (mizuchi) walks around the village and had a stunning revelation!



never heard that one before
well thats what its like for someone who only played the early windows games like ms. mizuchi here. it's tough being green (i assume she is green like mima. maybe a teal) (she is also metaphorically green in the way of inexperienced with the outside world (the outside world being gensokyo in this instance))

what a ride! can't wait for next month.
seeya then
