æ±æ¹é¦éå (touhoukourindou) ï½ Curiosities of Lotus Asia is a series of side stories that complement the normal Touhou timeline.
Written by ZUN (but NOT illustrated by him, done by Genji Asai), each story takes up four pages; one full-page artwork, three of mostly text. When serialized in the Colorful PUREGIRL, each story required two months to complete (on average). The stories themselves are serialized in various magazines, now serialized in Dengeki Moeoh.
It's written from the point of view of Rinnosuke Morichika, proprietor of Kourindou, a little odds-and-ends store. Naturally, he has a lot of well-known "customers" in the store, especially Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame.
