The year is 2013, and it's the city of No. 6: a stringently controlled, diligently maintained megalopolis that embodies the highest ideals of humankind. Shion has lived under close supervision as a "high-ranking elite and therefore one of the city's assets" since the age of two, and feels secure - if not particularly happy - in his carefully planned out, government-sponsored future. On the night of his twelfth birthday, his comfortable lifestyle is turned upside-down when he meets, tends the wounds of, and shelters, a strange boy with an icy demeanour who calls himself "Nezumi" (Rat). *Why did I open the window that night? If I had not, I'd never have been forced to know what it's like to fight, to starve, and to suffer in anguish...*

Sajou and Kusakabe keep their promise of getting married by buying each other rings.

The story happens in a circus in Paris in the 1970's. (...) Much is made of the romance of the circus atmosphere, of flying through the air on a trapeze, etc etc. Think cirque here, not circus. We're doing Old World riffs on the romance and tawdriness of the ring. There are no elephants in tutus walking on their hind legs; it's slit-eyed jugglers and daring death-loving trapeze artists and sad Pierrot clowns, even if the Pierrot clown - our hero, Torinosu, 'Bird's Nest' - has a false red nose. The tawdriness comes from the circus master pimping out his performers to anyone willing to pay. (...) And there's tanbi decadence - ghosts who wander into the action looking like teenaged girls even if they're the hero's brother, and abandoned neurotic women with a thing for inflicting pain, and buracon and possible murder and unspoken pining and a hero who looks about to perish at any moment from terminal angst. *Note: chapter count includes one prologue and one epilogue.*

This story follows the simple and domestic day-to-day lives of Rihito and Hikaru, who have recently begun their newlywed life together.

Umio is a shy kid who just started his part time job at a manga store smack dab in the middle of the city. But his lifestyle isn’t as glamorous as the neon lights that illuminate the city. Umio’s closest friends are his co-workers who are all unique characters, to say the least, and although they're nice people, they have their quirks. They are a tight knit group of friends, have nicknames for each other and spend their weekends inside, sheltered from the extravagant scene happening on the outside.

*Touhou Kourindou: Curiosities of Lotus Asia* is a series of side stories that complement the normal Touhou timeline. Written by ZUN and illustrated 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. (Source: Touhou Wiki) *Note: In 2015 this series was restarted in the pages of Strange Creators of Outer World, an official Touhou Project magazine published by Kadokawa under its Dengeki Moeoh imprint with the full supervision and support of ZUN. These stories have yet to be compiled in hardcover format.*

Time and time again, those flowers will always blossom, as long as they are there.
