Wrote a review on this, here it is:

I basically became a fan of Touhou the year I wrote this in preparation for reading ZUN's manga. Forbidden Scrollery was the one I was most interested in. I played and enjoyed all the games, went into this expecting something similar, and... didn't really get it. NOT a bad thing, though. Not at all. Forbidden Scrollery may be different from how Touhou usually is, but that both 1) makes it more accessible to new, uninitiated readers and 2) makes it pretty damn incredible. I have a lot to say about the series and the review I wrote for it shows as much. Forbidden Scrollery is dark, charming, intriguing, and beautiful. Very, very good manga.

Ending is a little disappointing though.

Yeah, you using MAL.

@mikegnesium so chap 53 is the last chapter, right?

 

[totallynotmike]

No idea - i was referring to MAL's shitty "feature" of counting every release as singular chapter. Here's all that was translated anyway.

@Swifft guess they can't make it too direct, being open to interpretation is what one of the thing that makes Touhou interesting after all.

If you want something serious, this is what I recommend: Vintage (doujin, available in this site), Suikakasen and Osana Reimu (both in youtube), also Doku Touhou MMD (there's the translated playlist in Touhousubs channel)

So... chap 54 where? Or is it one of those bonus chapters showing off the character designs and ZUNs words about it?
