Synopsis

Official Touhou guidebook with Aya's reports, character interviews, Gensokyo locations, and ZUN interview on game design.

Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red includes characters, events, locations and music from the Touhou Project games, as well as characters from Curiosities of Lotus Asia and Touhou Sangetsusei, and comments on music from ZUN's Music Collection. The last part is an interview with ZUN about game design. Each of the principal articles is character-specific and divided in two parts. The first consists of Aya Shameimaru's initial written report, describing an event of some sort and the central character's involvement therein. The second part is an interview with said character after the report's publication. Other columns include a "Guide to Notable Locales in Gensokyo", in which Aya describes popular locations, and so-called "Special Feature Articles" describing the incidents that took place in the covered games. While the Bunbunmaru Newspaper articles are all written by ZUN and are part of the series canon, the comics in the latter part of the book (Illusion of a Perfect Day; Prismriver - Bonds of Love; Witches' Tea Party; Valley of the Eternal Night; Beyond Rivals, Not Quite Natural Enemies; Shrine Maiden's Small Spring Search; Oni and the Ice Fairy; Phantasmal Song) are strictly fanwork. The only canonical comic is the one present at the beginning of the book (Extra of the Wind). (Source: Touhou Wiki)
