I certainly don't mind getting more English-language Touhou manga!

I hope Kadokawa starts publishing English-translated manga and light novels as physical books as well.

I hope "My Little Sister Stole My Fiancé: The Strongest Dragon Favors Me And Plans To Take Over The Kingdom?" gets a physical release as well. It's already several volumes long Japan side

Definitely another hoping for a physical release with these. Would be a shame if they stay digital.

Kadokawa, you created that 6- to 12-month bottleneck by not letting publishers other than YP license your books. Hmm, of the two shoujo titles here I'd rather read the LN versions, so hopefully they pick up those too. Probably have to keep my expectations for the translation and editing quality low though, especially for the LNs. |

I wonder if this is related to the whole Apple/Google thing their CEO mentioned. Making their own distribution thing to avoid it?

The 31st Consort sounds right up my alley.

My Little Sister Stole My Fiancé: The Strongest Dragon Favors Me And Plans To Take Over The Kingdom
Well this sounds interesting. Though any father 'who approves' their daughter being sacrificed to the gods, to volcanos, or to dragons, need to be spitted and roasted alive. A Boy Raised by Gods Will Be The Strongest That would sound to be the most natural consquence. This when will need to have a great story or fantastic manga art, or both of those preferably. I'm Quitting Heroing This should have ended when the survivors of the Demon King's army kills the exHero in revenge. Still a good story and good art can save it. The 31st Consort A girl for everday of the month. Not a fan of random girls being forceably chosen as sex slaves. I can see 'courting', but not some notification that you are the noble's girl on the 31st of each month. I am sure that there would be plenty of girls that would love to be chosen, but I am just as sure there are plenty that would want a choice in the matter or those who already in love with someone else. Hopefully, in this novel's case, it is just courting and not an expectation of intimate relations. If it is, then I want a bloody revenge ending. Still this is good news. |

So, I'm reading through the titles, "Meh, Meh, Meh..." Then: The lotus eaters drunk or sober --- that is an interesting title.... Only when I see mention of Gensokyo does the penny drop.

I didn't really know what to think about that one. Does your remarks mean it is something that might be worth watching or to stay far away? |

I hope this leads to more obscure titles being released.

Gensokyo is the setting of the Touhou Project, which basically explains the oddity of the title's localized name. Most of the mainline games, official print materials, and OST collections have fairly memorable English-language titles, such as Antinomy of Common Flowers, Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia, or Dr. Latency's Freak Report. In terms of whether to "stay away", I've loved every official Touhou manga title I've read, but the franchise has definitely earned its reputation as a massive multimedia rabbit hole, so you should be aware that it isn't the sort of thing most readers can pick up and 100% understand without spending at least some time on a fan wiki. |

BodaciousSpacePirate's reply explains my cryptic comment. Like them, I've enjoyed every Touhou-related manga that I've read. I have even puzzled my way through a few doujinshi. Touhou fandom has launched a few manga-ka into professional work, and many professionals have done official Touhou manga. I suppose time spent with a fan wiki would deepen one's appreciation, but I don't think it's completely required. |
