Touhou Project Part 1: Team Shanghai Alice



According to Wikipedia: The Touhou Project ( 東方 Project ) is a series of manic shooters made by Team Shanghai Alice. They are notable for being successful dōjin soft because of their intricate bullet patterns, their greater focus on characters than most shooter games, and being a one-man project.

The guy originally behind this is named ZUN.  His accomplishments are extremely impressive.  I can't imagine all the work it would take to produce all the material needed for games of this caliber.  It's even more impressive that his works have spawned a pretty big following from fans across the world.  There's several English websites dedicated to following the series, and I'm impressed by the scope of many of them.  In particular, Gensokyo.org (named after the fictional world where the series takes place) and the TohouWiki at Pooshlmer.com have been very useful about learning about the world.

The leading image in this post comes from a drawing ZUN did for Comiket 66.  There's a lot of material about it up on YouTube as well, so check it out.  So why am I going into such detail about this?  Come back tomorrow and find out.

Touhou Project Part 2: Cho-Marisa by Wi-Z Garage



This is a continuation from Touhou Project Part 1.  Marisa KIRISAME ( 霧雨　魔理沙 ) is one of the more popular characters from the The Touhou Project ( 東方 Project ) . A doujinshi called Cho-Marisa ( 超魔理沙 ) by Wi-Z GARAGE has made the rounds, but what hasn't is the English scanlation.  In fact, both Cho-Marisa ( Gallery | Zip ) and the sequel Zayaku Menace ( Gallery | Zip ) are available thanks to Gensokyo.org and the TouhouWiki that were mentioned yesterday.

I suspect the origin of Cho-Marisa may have it's roots in the fan-made Super Marisa Land game that was modeled after Super Mario Bros.  She's not muscular in the game, but perhaps "Super Marisa" planted the seed in Wi-Z GARAGE's head.  Check out his site for some more pics of Super Marisa.  His diary has these gems among others:

And there's several cool pics like this in his gallery:

Touhou Project Part 3: Meirin by Cave



This is a continuation from Touhou Project Part 1 and Part 2: Cho-Marisa.  I have no idea where to find this doujinshi by a group called Cave, but I've looked high and low.  The closest I've come is an expired Yahoo auction.  As near as I can tell, this doujinshi was made available at Comiket 73 which took place late last year.  Doujinshi are usually printed in low runs, and this group doesn't have much history that I can find so it's likely that this book is rarer than your average doujin.  Did anyone out there happen to be in Japan and pick up this doujin?  Anyone?

The character on the cover appears to be Hong Meirin ( 紅 美鈴 ), another character from the Touhou Project series.  I can only dream of what the story is about, and it goes like this in my head: "Jealous of Marisa's abdominal development, Meirin trains hard and seeks to surpass her; the two meet to compare their results and hijinks ensue".

Please, if you have a lead on where I might find a copy to purchase, please let me know immediately!  Surely, our collective intelligence will be enough to locate one.
