Based on the famous Touhou franchise comes Touhou Bougetsushou ~ Silent Sinner in Blue. Set in the fictional world of Gensokyo, it follows the main characters of the games. Of course, you must be familiar with games in order to really appreciate this Manga, since it will be hard to follow without prior knowledge.

Story:
The Story starts off with Yukari Yakumo, as she plans to start the second lunar war in order to get revenge for her previous loss, one thousand year ago. So now, she tries to gather an army to fight for her, either by recruiting them, or manipulating them to fight for her ... sake. The story doesn't fully revolve around her though, it focuses more on the other main characters that Yukari is trying to manipulate for her own sake. But you also mustn't forget how ZUN likes to end everyone of his works, in a unique way that is.

Characters:
If there's one thing Touhou is famous for, it's the characters. All the characters are well written and lively, Despite being a large cast. Their interactions are always amusing to watch. And the manga certainly did a great job, as it presented the characters, and handled them in a very good way. Not to mention the addition of new characters from the lunarian society.

Art:
The art is very good, Not perfect, but still a great work, which i found to very appealing to the eye. I also loved the character design in it.

Enjoyment:
Well of course i enjoyed this. Every Touhou fan would probably love this. as we get to see more from our favorite characters, how they spent their lives after the events of the games, and more funny interactions.

Overall:
I really had a great time reading this. It reminded of how much i love the Touhou franchise. so bottom line is, if you're a Touhou fan, then this Manga is definitely for you. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't played the games though.
