Synopsis: Here, we see Gensokyo from the perspective of the (almost) normal human Akyu Hieda, a recorder of its history who lives in Gensokyo. Her descriptions show a quite different realm; one where things are described in terms of ‘threat levels’, and most youkai are to be feared and avoided rather than laughed at. It deals primarily with the characteristics of the youkai, as well as countermeasures that can be taken against them. However, everything recorded is only things within the range of Akyu's knowledge - many of the youkai she interviewed asked her to exaggerate some, so don't be entirely fooled.
