This time's book was about Suika and the Komeiji sisters. Timeline-wise, it takes place before Suika came up to the Surface.
Neither of the sisters really understands how the other feels, yet they both care for each other and look out for each other. That was the idea I was going for, anyway. As long as I got some sort of warm feeling across, that's fine.Of course, if you know what happens from here, Hopeless Masquerade shows that the things Suika pointed out are not a concern, so this story was less about that and more about how each character acts and talks about Koishi. Satori's abilities may have been exaggerated a bit, but, well, it's really just another type of hypnosis.Actually, a collection just came out in October 2018 featuring the manga I've drawn for Strange Creators of Outer World. The title is "Rakka Ryuusui - Touhou Project Suichuu Hanabi Collected Works". If you could, I would be very happy if you picked it up as well. It honestly makes me very happy to have released a tankoubon after drawing Touhou for so many years, but at the same time, it feels like I've reached some sort of turning point.
In any case, I hope we can meet again somewhere.
Suichuu Hanabi
