Touhou Kourindou: Curiosities of Lotus Asia

A series of side stories expands the Touhou timeline through four-page entries, each featuring one full-page illustration and three pages of text. Created by ZUN with illustrations by Genji Asai, the stories are published in magazines such as Dengeki Moeoh, with each entry taking about two months to complete. Narrated by Rinnosuke Morichika, owner of the Kourindou shop, the tales involve his interactions with familiar figures like Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame. Originally serialized in Colorful PUREGIRL, the series was later continued in Strange Creators of Outer World, an official Touhou magazine. As of now, these stories have not been compiled into a hardcover collection.
