Forbidden Scrollery Bonus Dust Jackets Some of the retailers selling the Forbidden Scrollery tankōbon gave out dust jackets as a purchase bonus. These bonus jackets are designed to overlay the original tankōbon cover, thereby giving the tankōbon a completely new appearance. More importantly...

Cheers to a new update to the Which Came First, Hakurei Kannushi's Games or Beer? (博麗神主のゲームが先かお酒が先か?) archive due to some new discoveries. First, I made an accidental discovery that the Chinese and Brazilian Portuguese scanlations for Forbidden Scrollery contained full columns that are not...

I tried to look into Internet Archive and the internet to see if IN v1.00 was publicly available somewhere. No luck. Plus, it appears this version can now only be obtained by secondhand markets as the mass produced disc of IN sold at doujin stores is on v1.00b. The only suggestion I have is to...

Introduction to Touhou Printwork Bonuses Collection of Lotus Eaters Bonuses by @onasu_1341 (おなす) In Japan, physical manga can come with bonus physical items as an extra incentive to buy the physical version soon after its release. Touhou printworks are no exception to including bonus items...

Game board? That sounds like a better term than "Player UI" as I call them in my Touhou logo analysis, though I'm sure there a more technical term out there for describing this STG game element. Anyway, my favorite boards are SA, ISC, and VD. As an bonus response, I say my least favorite board...

Part 2: 1st Generation of Windows Games With the jump from PC-98 to Windows, logo design of Touhou games underwent a revolution as many of the technical limitations of the PC-98 were now gone on the new Windows platform. Plus, with the physical medium switching from floppy disks to CDs, there...

I would say, use what the other person's interests lie, and try to see if there is something Touhou related. Obviously, it would be best to get them into the canon Touhou via the STG games, the fighting games, the official manga, or even the albums, as to give the other person a good foundation...

An overview of the Touhou collab in Dandy Dungeon, developed as a collaboration between Onion Games and ZUN. As one of the few Touhou collabs to happen on a mobile non-rhythm game, there is a lot of neat references to both Touhou and ZUN himself.

That sounds a lot like oekaki forums. Add in the fact it has to date back to EoSD and to be Japanese only, I believe it is Coolier's oekaki boards. Here is a link to their oldest boards. That aside, there also a modern incarnation of an oekaki fourm called TEv2, a still-active reboot of the...

Year 140, Kisaragi Issue #1 Penning Down the Identity of Hieda no Akyuu It struck me odd around the behavior that occurred during the period surrounding Hieda no Akyuu’s 30th anniversary. While that joyous event had many “reminded” about Akyuu’s short lifespan, there was little actual...

Aye, working on the analysis for the rest of the Windows games, it has become clear that logo design is one of the talents of ZUN that has improved over time. As for the bottle, I don’t think he will ever stop with the drinking as that is basically part of his identity now. When ZUN has worked...

Touhou games logos are the visual element that describes a game’s title with 東方 (Touhou), some Japanese characters, and finally an English subtitle to finish the logo. What interesting is how Touhou games over the years have went though various design trends in not only visual design, but also...

Source: https://cloud.touhou.best I am bit concerned that this cloud disk isn't returning search results for any the files. Since this archive doesn't contain any meta information about the games, go though the archive itself to look for a Touhou game one wants to play is not possible. Instead...
