Touhou Sangetsusei ~ Oriental Sacred Place.

Oriental Sacred Place is the second major installment in the Touhou Sangetsusei manga series, published in Comp Ace between 2009 and 2012. Written by the series creator ZUN, the narrative follows the mischievous antics of the three fairies of light—Sunny Milk, Luna Child, and Star Sapphire—as they navigate the supernatural landscape of Gensokyo. This volume acts as a bridge between ZUN's game development and his broader world-building efforts, focusing on lower-stakes, whimsical adventures that contrast with the more intense conflicts found in the primary game titles.

The illustrations for this volume were provided by Makoto Hirasaka, who succeeded Nemu Matsukura after the first series. Hirasaka's art style is noted for its expressive character designs and a lighter, more vibrant tone that aligns with the fairies' playful personalities. The series was designed to flesh out the mundane aspects of daily life in Gensokyo for fans of the wider Touhou Project universe, receiving a positive reception for its accessibility to readers who might be less familiar with the complex bullet-hell gameplay of the core series.
