The Story of Eastern Wonderland (東方封魔録, pronounced Touhou Humaroku, meaning Recorded Sealing of an Oriental Demon) is the second game of the Touhou series. It is also the first game in the series of the curtain-fire shooting genre, and was released for the Japanese PC-98 in 1997. The Story of Eastern Wonderland features the characters Marisa Kirisame and Mima as enemies, both of whom would reappear in later series titles.

The Story of Eastern Wonderland casts the player as the Shrine Maiden Reimu Hakurei and offers three distinct attack types to choose from — a wide-range type with weak attack power, a mid-range type with moderate attack power and auto-targeting capabilities, and a narrow-range type with high attack power but lowered player movement speed. The bombs (Spell Cards) also exhibit unique behavior depending upon the type chosen.
As the first Danmaku shooting game in the Touhou series, the Story of Eastern Wonderland introduces many features that are now hallmarks of the series as a whole: relatively small hit boxes, boss characters who are not much larger than the player character however are highly mobile, a power-up system, variable worth point items, an unlockable Extra Stage, and a semi-complex scoring system. The game also marks the first appearance of Marisa Kirisame, who would become one of the most persistent characters in the series, second only to Reimu herself.
