But other than that, we also have a nice dose of Eientei goofiness from Burnt Croquette and a second part to the Koishi, the Loving Gourmet series. So, enjoy!

Official – Wild and Horned Hermit Chapter 1

A strange relic shoes up in the Hakurei Shrine, and a strange girls appears after it. Who is this new girl to enter the Touhou canon? What are her powers,  what is her backstory? And what is her color scheme?

Burnt Croquette – KISS! KISS!! KISS!!!

Hijinks ensue all over Eientei when Kaguya asks Eirin for a shady new drug, right when all the wrong kinds of visitors (and residents) are around. Remember kids: Only dead parrots use drugs.

Anatawo Haijindesu – Koishi, the Loving Gourmet Vol. 2

In this second part, Koishi continues her gastronomical forays around Gensokyo, where it seems everyone is much more food conscious that we’d thought.

Thanks to glasnost, Wally, Furball, Rukaroa, Cappy, Mae and everyone else!

As we put on our fatigues and head into the Great Fairy Wars, we’ve got a patch ready for a release from Comiket 77 – a doujin game by the title of Maristice. Patchouli’s had enough, and to make sure she’ll have no more trouble from Marisa she’s confiscated our favorite black-white witch’s hakkero and broom – which prompts Marisa to start her quest to retrieve them.

A puzzle-based isometric platformer, Maristice is a tribute to the NES classic Solstice. For more information, check out the maker @N-Factory’s website. Click on the image above, or on this link to download the patch.

Installation is simple; simply download the patch, run it, and point it to the directory in which Maristice is installed. For Vista/Windows 7 users, be sure you have admin access to the install directory. The patch will only work with the full version of the game, not the demo.

The full version of the game is available from HimeyaShop.com.

Thanks go out to zalas, Akira, mauve, and Halbarad!

Some say she knows all the digits of pi, and some say she’s crazy from all the  ‘shrooms she uses…  Some say that she likes to steal precious things, and that she carries a weapon of mass destruction inside her hat… All we know is: She likes to say da ze a lot!

Ichinose – Eternity

The final volume in Ichinose’s Marisa x Alice series (also known as the “crying Alice series”). But in this final episode – a moving story about the final challenge a couple must go through – you might find yourself being the teary-eyed one. If you haven’t read the six previous volumes yet, you can find them at the Wings of Yuri homepage, or in the Touhou wiki.

Hashiya – Red And Black Moon, Jasper Star Part 1

The mysterious first episode in this series. It looked like a regular day in Marisa’s life, until she finds that the Gensokyo she’s in is not the regular one she has lived in all her life.

Ponjiyuusu? – Mizard Wurder

One fine day in Gensokyo. Except Marisa turns up dead! And it seems she’s not the only one. Reimu sets to solve this incident, but maybe there’s a lot more in this case of murdered magicians than it might seem on the surface.

Thanks to Lunachild, Soljashy, Mae, KuribohLV9, RayXDGreatX, the Nameless Fairies and everyone else!

Also thanks to Winterbraid and everyone else at Wings of Yuri for their work in the Ichinose series.

Anatawo Haijindesu – Koishi, the Loving Gourmet

Koishi wanders around Gensokyo, tasting different foods from different places (not bothering with asking for it first). But why is she in such a journey in the first place?

Thanks to Furball and Mae for the work in this doujin!

Touhou Danmaku Yuugi -Flowers-

Alternate link.

A RPG published in back 2007 by D-Vent, with rules for building loliTouhou-style characters with not only different races, abilities and skills like any RPG, but also with their own spellcards with customized danmaku spreads .

And even if you are not really into RPGs, it is still worth checking it out, since the book is gorgeously illustrated by seven different artists including some famous Touhou illustrators like Katzeh and Tokiame. (And who knows? You might find out that you do have an interior RPG nerd after all.)

A big thanks to Touhou Gamer, Kasanip, Mizuko, Wally, Iced Fairy, Gnome! and Nameless Fairy, who worked into translating and editing this game.

So, let’s proceed to them, in an orderly fashion.

Sacred Spell – I Don’t Know How To Deal With Them

Hello again, and unless you are living under a rock, you probably know about the FIFA World Cup going on in South Africa right now, and even if you don’t particularly care about football just for being on the internet you have probably been exposed to it and it’s accompanying… sound.

Thanks to Wally, Cappy, ZEROGRAVITY-A01, Voile and Danbooru fairies and everyone else!

Since, unfortunately, it turns out all of the doujins slated for release this time still need some tweaks or fixes, and  to avoid scheduling problems I would have had for the next update,  I’m postponing today’s update to next Sunday.

We’re terribly sorry for the inconvenience and hope you may rejoin us next week when regular service is expected to be resumed. Thank you for flying Gaku-Touhou.
