What is Touhou?

Touhou is a series of 2D bullet hell shoot-’em-up games. These games follow the shrine maiden Hakurei Reimu and magician Kirisame Marisa as they get pulled into the many incidents that occur in Gensokyo. Over twenty games have been released in the Touhou franchise, including several spin-offs, 2-d fighting games, and countless fan works. The enormous cast of lovable characters, fantastic setting, and beautiful music have inspired a huge community of fans to create doujin comics, CDs of music arrangements, video games, flash videos, radio dramas, a full-length anime, and yes – even card games.
