History Manga / TouhouSuzunaanForbiddenScrollery

* {{Feelies}}: Limited runs of Volume 2 came with a figure of Kosuzu.

* BigFancyHouse: Akyuu's house is shown to be this, and it even has TheThingThatGoesDoink. Akyuu herself just thinks the place is old and outdated.

Continuing the progression from ''[[Manga/TouhouIbarakasenWildAndHornedHermit Wild and Horned Hermit]]'', it is a full-fledged MysteryOfTheWeek story, with each mini-incident split across two chapters.

* CuteMonsterGirl: Notably {{averted}}. ''Forbidden Scrollery'' features some of the highest numbers of nonhumanoid, non-friendly {{youkai}} in the franchise. Even some of the characters who play this straight in the games have their creepy moments.

* FantasticAesop: The moral of the umatsuki incident in chapters 36-37: don't eat animals that you treated like family, or else they'll turn into a youkai upon death and kill you via possession.

* SurprisinglyHappyEnding: Okay, it's ''{{Franchise/Touhou}}'', but the last two chapters basically have [[spoiler:Mamizou beat the Night Parade leader, thus unpossessing Kosuku, and also taking the Night Parade scroll away; Yukari reveals she allowed this to give Kosuzu some fear to avoid turning into a youkai so Reimu won't have to exterminate her, and everyone promises not to have {{Cryptic Conversation}}s anymore and explain to Kosuzu what's going on from now on.]]

* WholeCostumeReference: Kosuzu's "incognito" outfit in chapters 10-11 is the same one worn by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosuke_Kindaichi Kosuke Kindaichi]].

* TheDogBitesBack: In Chapter 31, Mamizou mentions that this could very well end up happening if the youkai go too far with their human-scaring antics. If Aya's words to Marisa in the following chapter are of any indication, this may even cross over into AwakeningTheSleepingGiant.

* GoryDiscretionShot: The face of the person killed by youkai tanuki in the panel mentioned in BewareTheSillyOnes above is obscured by a text box, but what appears to be blood is right at its edge.

* {{Protectorate}}: The "Let's Not Go Out on Purple Days" storyline reveals that the Human Village is actually under protection by the various youkai powers in secret, likely because its size makes it easy to wipe out by natural disaster or disease. It's known that the tengu protect against windstorms like the storyline's typhoon, while the kappa defend against floods.

->''"When they're kids, everyone thinks there's only one truth. They think that, just like when they used to ask questions to their parents or teachers, every problem has a definite answer buried somewhere, waiting for them to find it. But, the idea that the world is finite is simply a delusion of us humans. Once you get older, you'll realize that the world is infinite. [...] If the world is made up of the infinite, then there are infinite truths as well."''

* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: As is the way of Gensokyo, there's youkai throughout the majority, and a huge center of the human population in the form of the Human Village. If the villagers get too bold in the wilds and get eaten for their carelessness, or humans living outside of it change in their nature, it's not an issue, but the human population in the village needs to '''stay''' a ''human'' population. [[spoiler: Case in point, when a fortuneteller in the village manipulates his way into becoming a youkai, something he did purely for the physical benefits and has no interest in making trouble beyond that, and despite being not the slightest heinous compared to the usual Gensokyo fare, because of the nature and risk of what he has done, Reimu actually ''kills'' him on the spot.]]
** This comes back later as the reason why [[spoiler: Yukari schemed for Kosuzu to fall victim to the Night Parade Scroll. At the rate she was going, she seemed destined to become a youkai on her own, and thus Reimu would have to wipe her out to preserve balance. By orchestrating her possession, the issue was forced for Kosuzu to be let into Reimu and Marisa's youkai-inclusive social circle, instead.]]
