I think this should probably be listed as being related to Suzunaan. That’s why it feels like “almost canon”, because it’s a fanwork inspired by a canon manga.
I really like the theme and vibe in this dojin. This little "incident" focusing only on human side of gensokyo village, and hardly any involvement of other supranatural character, hence the title is very befitting
wow, this is just incredible. this doesn't just stand above most Touhou doujin works, i would say it's better than most if not all of the official manga we've seen too. the writing is thought provoking, philosophical without being pretentious or too wordy like so many doujins, and constantly unpredictable; on the surface, it's a typical "lifespan story" that many Touhou doujin stories deal with, but without the overdramatic payoff many of them have, instead simply alluding to an ever foreboding end that keeps building tension wonderfully.
living through the end of someone's life is not a rollercoaster of emotions that continually barrages you with dramatic scenes of characters in tears in real life, it's instead something much more anxious and existentially threatening, and that's what this manga makes me feel when i read it.
the art style is so unique and consistently breathtaking too, and it perfectly suits the theme and the overall take this manga has on the Touhou world. right there in the name. this may not be canon but i think these are the types of stories i would really love to see more from artists in this fandom
