[omnicrone]

now that's an unexpected turn of events. didn't think the story would go there

 

[Zyte_X]

Shes taking advantage of Marissa at her lowest!! (Or just bamboozling her so Reimu comes)

 

[driimyemp]

This lovers' quarrel became a fight between two divorced grandmas, wow, thanks, Yukari and Okina.

 

[RedSalt]

Reimu better do something or she will have to actually kill Marisa on this one.

 

[gelato345]

Holy yuri drama

 

[Zedter]

Next chapter would be 2 divorced couples watch their kids loving each other

 

[OkamiLeek006]

Be me, an understander of Touhou lore
Ah I see, then Marisa will be able to pull Reimu out of a hat and mend things, I see

 

[GLFanatic]

God damn, this is so well-written. I was in need of a romance story like this.

 

[iSiffrin]

Hag W?

 

[Vladlad45]

Is the book finally gonna be relevant!? It was shoved in our face like a huge Chekov's Gun what feels like ages ago only for Patchouli to casually cart it off.

I did not expect the story to go this direction but I'm glad it is! Full Magician Marisa is a cool source of drama to exploit. I hope this means we'll see more of the magic squad.

 

[xibuwo]

MOREEEEE, I NEEDMOREEEEEEE.
An interesting chapter this was indeed.

I guess it makes sense..... a ReiMari doujin isn't complete if there isn't a mention of tragic angsty doom yuri from Marisa becoming a magician

Yeah, what I didn’t expect though was Okina being the one to offer the way to being a true magician. You’d think it would be Patchy or Alice. Hell, maybe even Narumi or in a less feasible option, Byakuren but Okina?

 

[AmaSuna]

Break up so bad even the sages are in to help

It would be in line with Okina's attitude in Hidden Star in Four Seasons where she saw potential in Marisa and tried to recruit her as a dancer.

I've seen another ReiMari artist (Shi Chimi) make a doujin on this topic. In that work, Okina saw a lot of potential in Marisa and thought that her refusal to become a magician was a waste of talent, so she really wanted to push her more towards becoming a magician so that her talent could be fulfilled. Mero should be aware of that doujin since they reposted a teaser of that doujin on their twitter.

I'm not sure if that's going to be the same case in this doujin series though and it might just be Okina trying to put some pressure on Marisa and Reimu to get a resolution. She's a lot less careful than Yukari when it comes to manipulating events
