Just read your summary of the last chapter of FS Clarste. So two questions cause I'm a loving idiot Kosuzu is a youkai now? And Yukari's plot was that humans like Kosuzu can become youkai as long as they cause enough trouble that Reimu has to fight them because that preserves the divide between humans and youkai?

A Sometimes Food posted:Just read your summary of the last chapter of FS Clarste. So two questions cause I'm a loving idiot I'm basing this off the non-Clarste translated chapter before this one and Clarste's description of the last chapter. To answer your first question, no, that's not what happened. Kosuzu is fully human and always was. She was being possessed by the Night Parade Scroll, or rather the youkai or demon that was possessing the scroll. It sounds like Reimu has decided to bring Kosuzu in to the "secrets" of the side of Gensokyo that most villagers will never see. Before this point, Reimu and Marisa tried to keep Kosuzu out of danger, but Reimu has realized that the bookseller is too curious to stop herself. The possession incident just reaffirms all of this. As for Kosuzu's current status, I'd say she's a youkai-like human, like Marisa and Reimu herself. As for Yukari's part in all of this-- you know what, I'm not even going to put this in spoilers. This has become more about my headcanon of Yukari's Gensokyo than about the chapter. Yukari's goal in Gensokyo is balance. Yukari doesn't want Reimu to start exterminating youkai just because. Gensokyo was sealed away to preserve the existence of youkai. If Reimu, another Hakurei shrine maiden, or even just plain old humans start eliminating youkai completely, Gensokyo might as well become the Outside World. For Yukari's perfect fantasy to exist, Youkai need a Humanity that can hold them in fear, awe, and wonder. But you actually need humans for that, and if the system was left to its own devices random youkai attacks would wear down what humans exist. That's why humans are meant to exterminate youkai. But if Humanity becomes too successful in exterminating youkai and too comfortable in its existence, they lose their wonder of the unknown and risk entering an inhuman mindset. That's what went wrong with the fortune teller way back when, and it's the fate Reimu feared would befall Kosuzu. It's a balance between being Human and Youkai, not just in Gensokyo but in certain individuals, too. The games and manga make it look like humans are no different than youkai, but we only see the interesting humans willing to go out and face the unknown. We don't see the boring everyday humans that huddle in the safety of their village because they fear what lies outside the walls. In terms of this incident: Kosuzu might have lost some of the fear she's had before, but I don't think she'll lose the awe and wonder, and I doubt she's suddenly going to become a youkai. Most of Marisa's adventures begin with curiosity stemming from seeing something new, and no one's accusing her of being a youkai (more than usual). Yukari's role in this specific incident: She played on Reimu's habit of drinking with the people she was just fighting with. It caused Reimu to hesitate long enough for Yukari to escape. Yukari's goal in this was to get Reimu to see Kosuzu not as a threat to everything Gensokyo's meant to be, but as a personal enemy subject to Reimu's ways of friendship.* *Ways that are very much like a certain laser-wielding Magical Girl.** **No, I don't mean Marisa.*** ***Where the hell did my life go wrong that I have to specify that? Clarste, reading your Tumblr, I don't know where these people are coming from asking "Is this really the end of Forbidden Scrollery? Couldn't it continue?" As a series, FS was leading straight to what we just saw, and the story is obviously done now. And if I'm reading the end of your post right, I almost guarantee the next time we see Kosuzu it's going to be in a game. Kevos Setzer fucked around with this message at 10:29 on Jul 26, 2017 |

Wait is the new chapter translated or is there just summaries of it? I've been trying to look for it but I can't find anything. Also, I had no idea Forbidden Scrollery was ending. Makes a lot of sense now that I think about it, but I must have missed whenever it was announced. What a good manga though. I'd say definitively the best touhou manga and maybe the best non-game official work. Hope Tasofro can manage to keep Harukawa around for the fighting game art at least, She's the best artist touhou has ever had.

Ah cheers. I got thrown off by the bit in the summary where Yukari's motives are explained. Didn't see the bit where Clarste had "possessed" there and was curious cause missing that it looked like Kosuzu might have transformed. Though Yukari's plot does open the door for someone becoming a youkai in the future without Reimu exterminating them. Wonder if that'll ever come up.

I got the impression that doing two comics at once was burning her out though. I guess if we're lucky she'll continue to work with Tasofro at least.

I was gonna make a joke about Luna's hard-hitting commentary on capitalism early on when talking about shrine donations but then the entire chapter was about exploitative labor conditions. Getting the feeling that as a practically self-employed man ZUN doesn't think too highly of corporate culture.
