In addition to the main Touhou Project video game series, there are a number of canon Spin Offs including comics and other print materials. Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery is the fourth manga entry in the Touhou Project franchise, with strong ties to the games Hopeless Masquerade and Double Dealing Character. Continuing the progression from Wild and Horned Hermit, it is a full-fledged Mystery of the Week story, with each mini-incident split across two chapters. The manga was serialized monthly in Comp Ace from 2012 to 2017, for a total of 53 chapters compiled into 7 volumes.Kosuzu Motoori is the young daughter of the owner of Suzunaan, the Human Village's book rental shop. A massive bibliophile who has recently developed the magical ability to read any language, Kosuzu has begun secretly delving into the shop's stock of Youma Books - books which were written by youkai... or sometimes are youkai. While this often has negative consequences, Kosuzu finds the experience too thrilling to stop, particularly since she's confident that Reimu can defeat anything that gets out.Other major characters include: Hieda no Akyuu, in-universe author of the Gensokyo Chronicles, a wealthy landowner and Kosuzu's best friend. While she informs Kosuzu of the risks she's taking, for the most part she seems content to sit and wait until she can say I Told You So. Mamizou Futatsuiwa, a powerful Tanuki who sometimes wanders the Human Village as a Mysterious Stranger, a disguise in which she has earned Kosuzu's admiration. She's the "cool adult" who tells Kosuzu everything she wants to hear, while making subtle attempts to influence her towards pro-youkai beliefs. As a new but ambitious arrival to Gensokyo, she is also secretly collecting any tsukumogami created by Kosuzu's activities in order to build her power base. Reimu Hakurei, the protagonist of the Touhou series as a whole, who is concerned about Mamizou's actions but often has her hands tied trying to maintain her reputation in face of the rumors of her "youkai-infested shrine" that have spread through the Human Village. Kosuzu is one of the few villagers who genuinely looks up to and trusts Reimu, but that could easily snap. Marisa Kirisame, the secondary protagonist of the Touhou series, who often tags along with Reimu but sometimes makes some discoveries of her own.An official English translation of Volume 1 was released in November 2017 by Yen Press, with subsequent volumes following. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Compared to Wild and Horned Hermit. While the former manga humanizes youkai heavily, Forbidden Scrollery often treats them as a corrupting influence, dangerous and alien. It helps that the artist this time around, Moe Harukawa, is very good at switching between cute and creepy. It also has a generally far more serious tone in comparison. Only Touhou – ZUN's Music Collection trumps Forbidden Scrollery in terms of seriousness; whereas Forbidden Scrollery at least has some lighthearted moments to ease up its serious nature, ZUN's Music Collection is often much more dead serious and cynical. | |

Defeat Means Friendship | |
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_19769f50 | comment |
Defeat Means Friendship: Deconstructed. Reimu treats humans and youkai the same, which leads her to gain the respect of many youkai she defeats... which in turn causes them to visit her shrine fairly regularly, leading to rumours that she's not doing her job or even "helping the enemy". While hinted at before, Forbidden Scrollery is the first time we've seen the results first-hand. The final story arc ends up being Yukari invoking this trope for Kosuzu's benefit. As Yukari explains it, if Kosuzu kept down her original path, she would have turned into a Youkai and Reimu would have to kill her as she did the fortune teller. So instead Yukari got Kosuzu possessed by the Night Parade scroll so she could be non-fatally "exterminated", which results in her getting let in on The Masquerade and becoming part of Reimu and Marisa's circle of confidants. | |

The Quisling | |
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_1e679bd0 | comment |
Chapter 25. The fortune-telling book that Kosuzu found and used to tell fortunes in chapter 24 turns out to be part of an elaborate plan a village human made to become a youkai. When Reimu meets the human-turned-youkai, he promises he'll be peaceful so there's no need to exterminate him. Reimu responds not by starting a spell card duel... but by straight up killing him by splitting his head in two with her gohei, saying that a village human purposefully turning into a youkai is "the most grievous sin of all". | |

| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: In chapter 35, the source of the end-of-the-world rumors turns out to be gossip magazines from the Outside World. Back in chapter 28, Reimu said that recently it has been very easy to obtain gossip magazines from the Outside World. Now, Mamizou said that the rumor is just because of humans being humans, but gave a thought how it might be a result of domino effect from a small action by a mysterious youkai. A mysterious youkai who can bring things from Outside World to Gensokyo? Sounds an awful lot like Yukari. In chapter 38, Mamizou makes use of the Night Parade scroll from all the way back in chapters 4 and 5 in order to create tsukumogami to do (social media) battle with Aya's Bunbunmaru Newspaper. | |

Surprisingly Happy Ending | |
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_25b4ad2f | comment |
Surprisingly Happy Ending: Okay, it's Touhou Project, but the last two chapters basically have Mamizou beat the Night Parade leader, thus unpossessing Kosuku, and also taking the Night Parade scroll away; Yukari reveals she allowed this to give Kosuzu some fear to avoid turning into a youkai so Reimu won't have to exterminate her, and everyone promises not to have Cryptic Conversations anymore and explain to Kosuzu what's going on from now on. | |

Humans Are Bastards | |
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_3d4d3dc9 | comment |
Humans Are Bastards: The main element of the story. One big reason as to why the village humans are kept weak and oppressed by the fear of youkai is due to the belief that should they gain power, their first act would most likely be to try and force the youkai out of Gensokyou, which needless to say, goes against Gensokyou's purpose of existence as a paradise and safe haven for them. | |

| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_3f0310d6 | comment |
Magikarp Power: As she continues using her power, Kosuzu is eventually able to interpret not only the words in books, but also their youkai energies, giving her a limited form of psychometry. The ending implies that her eyes are now capable of reading people in some way, which she uses when deciding whether customers are allowed access to the shop's new Youma Book section. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise | |
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_48b9731f | comment |
Paper-Thin Disguise: Mamizou's disguises tend towards this. Aside from the ever-present leaf on her head, she has a very strong rustic old person accent and is bad at hiding it. Somehow her tricks work on Kosuzu every time. Her kappa disguise from Chapter 29 is so bad that Nitori suspects it was deliberate. Yet she consistently sees right through the (often amazingly good) disguises of other youkai, claiming that as a master of illusions she is very difficult to fool. This trope is played with when Aya comes to Suzunaan dressed as a stereotypical newsboy, complete with business cards bearing her real name spelled in hiragana. She reveals her identity to Kosuzu by replacing her newsboy cap (which does not hide her pointy ears) with her usual hat◊ and claiming to be a tengu. Kosuzu finds this utterly convincing and is scared half out of her wits. | |

In chapters 40-41, Reimu becomes addicted to mystery novels written by the anonymous "A.C.Q.", and ends up borrowing a lot of them at once. Chapter 34 of Wild and Horned Hermit features Reimu becoming exhausted from staying up reading all night, and her friends mistaking her tiredness for depression. | |

Pretend Prejudice: Reimu, Marisa and Akyuu understand that in Gensokyo most youkai are harmless, and youkai attacks and exterminations are nonlethal - as spiritual beings born from fear, youkai simply need to be in conflict with humans in some way in order to maintain their identities. However, the average human villager does not understand this concept, nor do some of the youkai sealed in Kosuzu's Youma Books. | |

Beware the Silly Ones: Characters often seen as utterly silly by the fandom such as Aya and Nitori have moments where they show that as youkai they're not to be trifled with. After overhearing some villagers talking about tanuki not being all that scary, Marisa mentions that while that's mostly true nowadays, many a person has died from a tanuki trick so they shouldn't be underestimated. To illustrate this point, the panel shows a dead person surrounded by two youkai tanuki in beast form. | |

Masquerade: While humans in Gensokyo are fully aware that youkai exist, there's still a Masquerade that youkai never visit the human village because the two groups are enemies. This forces youkai who do visit to wear disguises: Reisen uses traditional Japanese clothing with a sando kasa to hide her ears, while Aya dresses like an early 20th century newsboy. Meanwhile, Reimu can't reveal Mamizou's true nature to Kosuzu, because it would mean admitting that she associates with youkai and the Hakurei Shrine's reputation is already pretty poor for that very reason. | |

Protectorate: The "Let's Not Go Out on Purple Days" storyline reveals that the Human Village is actually under the protection of the various youkai powers in secret, likely because its size makes it easy to wipe out by natural disaster or disease. It's known that the tengu protect against windstorms like the storyline's typhoon, while the kappa defend against floods. | |

Obviously Evil: The jinyou in chapter 25 is one of the most blatantly evil-looking characters in the series, who Looks Like Orlok with a Ghostly Gape Slasher Smile and wears a cloak with a High Collar of Doom. While he doesn't actually do anything other than turn himself into a youkai (and in fact swears never to harm humans), by Gensokyo standards this alone is considered so bad that Reimu kills him on the spot. | |

Tome of Eldritch Lore | |
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_815556aa | comment |
Tome of Eldritch Lore: Youma books, which range from things as innocuous as classics made for youkai and books made for humans written by youkai, to grimoires for witches and magicians, and books with actual youkai sealed inside. The Night Parade Scroll, which alongside the youma books serves as the eponymous forbidden scrollery, has the ability to create tsukumogami, and as of Chapter 50, is revealed to have a powerful ancient youkai sealed inside, who appears to have influenced Kosuzu. | |

Wham Episode | |
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: Chapter 25. The fortune-telling book that Kosuzu found and used to tell fortunes in chapter 24 turns out to be part of an elaborate plan a village human made to become a youkai. When Reimu meets the human-turned-youkai, he promises he'll be peaceful so there's no need to exterminate him. Reimu responds not by starting a spell card duel... but by straight up killing him by splitting his head in two with her gohei, saying that a village human purposefully turning into a youkai is "the most grievous sin of all". Chapter 47. The masquerade is fully broken for Kosuzu between her reading the Gensokyo Chronicles, and Akyuu revealing Mamizou's true identity as a youkai to her. Chapter 48/49: Yukari has entered the mix. Her motives are completely unknown here, but she wants to help Kosuzu. Chapter 50: After disappearing for days, Kosuzu shows up at the Hakurei Shrine, channeling the power of a youkai sealed within the Night Parade Scroll, and proclaims that she will bring "balance to Gensokyo", before defeating Marisa offscreen. Chapter 51: Mamizou reveals that the Youkai sealed within the scroll is a powerful Oni that eats lesser Youkai, with Mamizou planning to save Kosuzu herself. Elsewhere Reimu encounters Yukari and deduces her to be the one truly manipulating Kosuzu all along and exclaims that she is going to exterminate Yukari. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: In chapters 36-37, a wealthy villager who had treated his horses like family suddenly begins killing and eating them after he discovers a taste for horseflesh. As a result, one of his dead horses becomes an umatsuki which possesses him and destroys his mind. While Reimu is clearly not happy about the situation (it's implied that she had to put down the man's walking corpse), she also claims that he reaped what he sowed. | |

Art Shift: In chapters 20-21, the mysterious medicine seller is given a much more detailed character design, including a great deal of emphasis on her long fingers (and long fingernails) and her mouth. Once it's revealed to be Reisen, these details vanish and she reverts to the same general art style as the rest of the cast, though if there's a zoom in shots, she still has those features. | |

The End Is Nigh: Chapters 34 and 35 deal with humans spreading rumors of the world ending by the end of the year; Reimu and Marisa, coming fresh off the events of Urban Legend in Limbo, try to discover the source and quash it before their belief makes it actually come true. There are nods to the theories of Nostradamus and the Mayan Doomsday, among other apocalyptic beliefs. | |

Likewise for her high compatibility with tsukumogami that was mentioned in chapters 4 and 5, which was incorporated in several of her attacks, as well as her ending where she uses her knowledge to teach Kokoro the best way she could control her powers without losing her identity as a youkai. | |

Balance Between Good and Evil | |
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_a284511d | comment |
Balance Between Good and Evil: As is the way of Gensokyo, there's youkai throughout the majority, and a huge center of the human population in the form of the Human Village. If the villagers get too bold in the wilds and get eaten for their carelessness, or humans living outside of it change in their nature, it's not an issue, but the human population in the village needs to stay a human population. Case in point, when a fortuneteller in the village manipulates his way into becoming a youkai, something he did purely for the physical benefits and has no interest in making trouble beyond that, and despite being not the slightest bit heinous compared to the usual Gensokyo fare, because of the nature and risk of what he has done, Reimu actually kills him on the spot. This comes back later as the reason why Yukari schemed for Kosuzu to fall victim to the Night Parade Scroll. At the rate she was going, she seemed destined to become a youkai on her own, and thus Reimu would have to wipe her out to preserve balance. By orchestrating her possession, the issue was forced for Kosuzu to be let into Reimu and Marisa's youkai-inclusive social circle, instead. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: While the Touhou series as a whole tends to deal with the difference in values compared to the outside world, Forbidden Scrollery stands out due to how direct and deeply it deals with this topic. Part of the reason why detective stories and the like are not very popular in Gensokyou is due to them relying on science and legal values from the outside world, and as a result ending up only confusing their readers. Akyuu tries to get around this by writing such stories with Gensokyoan values in mind. | |

In chapter 35, the source of the end-of-the-world rumors turns out to be gossip magazines from the Outside World. Back in chapter 28, Reimu said that recently it has been very easy to obtain gossip magazines from the Outside World. Now, Mamizou said that the rumor is just because of humans being humans, but gave a thought how it might be a result of domino effect from a small action by a mysterious youkai. A mysterious youkai who can bring things from Outside World to Gensokyo? Sounds an awful lot like Yukari. | |

Deconstructed. Reimu treats humans and youkai the same, which leads her to gain the respect of many youkai she defeats... which in turn causes them to visit her shrine fairly regularly, leading to rumours that she's not doing her job or even "helping the enemy". While hinted at before, Forbidden Scrollery is the first time we've seen the results first-hand. | |

Mamizou's disguises tend towards this. Aside from the ever-present leaf on her head, she has a very strong rustic old person accent and is bad at hiding it. Somehow her tricks work on Kosuzu every time. Her kappa disguise from Chapter 29 is so bad that Nitori suspects it was deliberate. Yet she consistently sees right through the (often amazingly good) disguises of other youkai, claiming that as a master of illusions she is very difficult to fool. | |

Asian Fox Spirit | |
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_e6c72641 | comment |
Asian Fox Spirit: A two-part story focuses on a young kitsune who keeps writing on the doors of the human village's school, which worries the parents. After Reimu makes some failed attempts at repelling it, Kosuzu uses her Omniglot skills to figure out what's going on: it's repeating the day's lessons, meaning that the kitsune is a child that's trying to learn. She ends up resolving the situation by giving Reimu some special Paper Talismans...that are actually advertisements for Suzunaan. When the kitsune-child comes to the store, Kosuzu gives it a blank book to write in and offers to give new blank books in exchange for trading in the old ones when they fill up, meaning she gets a steady supply of youma books. | |

Space Whale Aesop | |

Space Whale Aesop: The moral of the umatsuki incident in chapters 36-37: don't eat animals that you treated like family, or else they'll turn into a youkai upon death and kill you via possession. | |

Kosuzu passing out after she runs into the Monster of the Week. A few characters, including Marisa and Akyuu, remark on this. | |

Broken Masquerade | |
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_f506d08c | comment |
Broken Masquerade: Kosuzu steadily learns of the prevalence of the Youkai's involvement throughout the series and becomes increasingly concerned. At the end of the series Reimu reveals the full extent of it, even having Kosuzu at a party full of youkai. Kosuzu ends up happy learning the true nature of Gensokyo and decides to help preserve The Masquerade with the other human protagonists. | |

The Shadow Knows | |
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_f974d1fc | comment |
The Shadow Knows: Nitori employs this trope in chapter 15, combined with Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass - while warning Reimu not to provoke the kappa without reason, her shadow is depicted in the form of a monstrous traditional kappa, complete with Glowing Eyes of Doom. | |

Running Gag | |
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Kosuzu passing out after she runs into the Monster of the Week. A few characters, including Marisa and Akyuu, remark on this. Also, Kosuzu reading magazines from the Outside World and misunderstanding the contents. So far she thinks ebola is some form of youkai and believes that Outsiders stink at construction since both the Berlin Wall and Soviet Union collapsed. | |

The Dog Bites Back | |
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_fb3576b2 | comment |
The Dog Bites Back: In Chapter 31, Mamizou waxes about how youkai need to be careful how they go about making trouble for the villagers, as she (and other savvy youkai) believes that they have a hard limit on what they're willing to put up with, and pushing them beyond that would lead them to seek some sort of payback, possibly ending Gensokyo's relative peace as they know it. This is also, according to Aya in the following chapter, why youkai have to rule over the village humans; their belief is that all that's stopping them from taking the fight to youkai is a leader figure convincing them they can. | |

Go-Karting with Bowser | |
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_fc4f5f19 | comment |
Go-Karting with Bowser: Despite Mamizou being the closest thing the manga has to a villain, she is ultimately just as concerned about the balance of Gensokyo as Reimu is, leading them to frequently work together. | |

Cross Through | |
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery (Manga) / int_ff90e4ca | comment |
Cross Through: A minor example. One of Reimu's flower-viewing parties is depicted in both Wild and Horned Hermit chapter 16 and Forbidden Scrollery chapter 6, and the cast getting drunk in the first manga leads to Remilia's pet escaping in the second. Kasen's baby dragon creating so much rain in Wild and Horned Hermit turns out to be responsible for the rat infestation in Forbidden Scrollery's "Rodent Infested Summer" storyline. In chapters 40-41, Reimu becomes addicted to mystery novels written by the anonymous "A.C.Q.", and ends up borrowing a lot of them at once. Chapter 34 of Wild and Horned Hermit features Reimu becoming exhausted from staying up reading all night, and her friends mistaking her tiredness for depression. Chapter 45 of Forbidden Scrollery begins on roughly the same day as Chapter 4 of Visionary Fairies in Shrine, and the typhoon that nearly killed Kosuzu is used by the Fairies to gather nuts, fruits, and mushrooms that were either knocked off their trees or started growing because of the storm. | |
