Touhou Suichouka ~ Lotus Eater-tachi no Suisei (Read 289 times)

[Aeon]

東方酔蝶華～ロータスイーター達の酔醒 is one of the two official recent manga that started to be released alongside the touhou garakuta doujin news site. a couple other cool things are often uploaded here like a short series by azuma aya, a really good ongoing series called the gensokyo of humans, and a light novel featuring youmu that i can't really check out because not translated but the cover is cool, among other things

about suichouka itself, it stars miyoi okunoda, albeit in a semi-antagonistic position. at the start, she is causing problems but eventually gains some allies and is just hanging out, still not really allied with reimu and the other usual protagonists. i won't got into detail because its first post no spoilers but it is very cool. i do not really know where it is going at the moment but it is interesting so far, although i am feeling increasingly bad for the general populace of humans who are just trying to survive everyday life without youkai in the village

also, it's translated by clarste, who i might have mentioned before at one point. they are very good and very fast. you can read the translations here and i would link the japanese version, but lazulum already got the proper physical copy

SPOILER: Click to show

Carpet Phantasm: Analysis chapter 1 The Lotus Eater

character 1:

analysis:
STRANGE. Somewhat worrisome in that on occasions she has trouble with things concerning topics such as maths and science. I'm almost completely understanding where she is coming from but it'll make sure she has a long, detailed growth throughout the story. analysis: Strange

character 2:

analysis: CREATIVE?
I'm thinking of an american story that somewhat resembles

character 3:

analysis: PUZZLING
I found out recently raccoons have a trait that makes it so they always land on their feet even if falling from mostly tall trees or heights. This made me thinking: if Miyoi were to drop this character from a tall height she would be able to figure if for sure or not it was a raccoon. With something such as, a Miyoi dropping this raccoon from a tall height she'd be able to figure it out. 
This is probably interesting for the story because I'd be interested to see it. 


character 4:

analysis: WHY IS THIS HERE?
Ingredients visible: tomato, lettuce, carrot, garden asparagus, juben soup, ring onion, soil fruit, traditional meal, nuts & rice.

thank you for your contributions and i am very interested to see any possible encounters between miyoi okunoda and the STEM academic fields although i would wager she would remain at geidontei often as she is a zashikiwarashi and my understanding is that they have a thing with staying at a specific place. maybe if ran, kanako, or nitori stop by for a drink she will have an opportunity to learn about such topics

after seeing that the shadowed figure from the last chapter of satorimanga was not keine, was not kagerou (well that one was a stretch but eh), or anyone else of particular interest or with few appearances since their debut but rather marisa, I needed a drink
and that drink was the newest chapter of Touhou Suichouka ~ Lotus Eater-tachi no Suisei, known as 東方酔蝶華 ～ ロータスイーター達の酔醒 in japan, a manga within the touhou series that involves a zashiki-warashi that runs a bar, along with many references to alcoholic beverages (no reading if you are under the age of 45, the minimum drinking age)

remember that photo from last chapter

when a certain joe swanson made an appearance once again, finally allowing for the creation of an eventful series of chapters after two long years

in anticipation, I awaited the next showing of this masterful creation and

oh
oh no

and thus, I, spognlavador AKA spongebob, creator of touhou roadrunners IV, was played for a fool, a know-nothing peasant gazing upon the lands of wonder and fantasy, deluded by dreams and left in barren reality
okina's plan foiled by the omnipotent creator of all in gensokyo, the grand and unstoppable ZUN

pictured: girl who has difficulty understanding subjects such as mathematics and physics
(ms paint touchpad 2m56s beat that)

well I guess I'll wait next month for snake in a boot (part 1)
