About this title

Synopsis

After moving into the large tree just behind the Hakurei Shrine, the Three Fairies of Light—Sunny Milk, Luna Child, and Star Sapphire—have more opportunities to continue their mischief than ever. However, now that they are closer to Reimu Hakurei, the youkai exterminator of Gensokyo, any move that incurs the shrine maiden's wrath will likely be met with terrible consequences. Despite this serious-sounding threat, the boisterous trio continue to use their quirky abilities to annoy anyone they target. Whether it be harmless illusions, inconsequential thievery, or even things that benefit Gensokyo's residents, the fairies' prankishness will not die down anytime soon. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Main characters

Reimu Hakurei1088 fan favorites
External profile
She is the miko of the Hakurei Shrine, a remote building far in the east where the boundaries of Gensoukyou and the human world overlap. It is believed that she is the 13th of her line. Reimu is very easygoing—some would say lazy—and hates to train. As such, even though she's naturally talented, her offensive and magical abilities are only average. However, she has a strong sense of duty, and if it's for the sake of Gensoukyou she can overcome almost any obstacle through sheer perseverance. Her main abilities are to "fly", good intuition, and getting along with everyone; even those who were once her enemies. In the games, she is characterized by her homing amulets and yin-yang orbs. Her ability to fly should not be confused with the ability to "float" possessed by most characters in the Gensokyo Universe. In Japanese, the translation for "fly" could mean "to be isolated from others," "to be uncertain/undefined," "to have no basis," and finally "to float." For example, in Eastern and Little Nature Deity, Chapter 2, Reimu successfully walks across a magically dissimulated river without even knowing it exists. Basically, it is assumed that Reimu's ability to "fly" could be translated to floating, and as if it were not defined in the world, having no basis and even passively doing things that are considered impossible by nature and can only be explained this way.

Marisa Kirisame882 fan favorites
External profile
Marisa is a human witch who lives in a cluttered house in the Forest of Magic. She is friends with Reimu and visits her often, but otherwise is solitary and spends most of her time researching magic. She is also an avid collector stuffing her house with various items, and would go "borrowing" things from others without returning them. She is selfish, sometimes violent, and has a disagreeable manner. Underneath, though, she is honest and a hard worker. This makes it strange that she is friends with Reimu, whose powers are purely from talent while she had to work very hard to get her own to the same level. Her ability is high-level destructive magic. (Source: Wikipedia)
