The Grimoire of Usami 秘封倶楽部異界撮影記録

[Drake]

Or "The Grimoire of Usami - Secret Sealing Club Otherworld Shooting Record"

The true form of the danmaku fireworks festival book teased in the last issue of SCoOW. The title is ridiculous and I love it.

Releasing on March 25; Available for preorder on Amazon for 1620 JPY: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4049124238

Says it's 160 pages, so roughly the same as the Grimoire of Marisa.

The lack of artist seems to indicate that ZUN himself is illustrating the book.
I wouldn't expect too much, but looks like an interesting read.

Aya Azuma draws the accompaining manga.

Edit: at least theoretically. I hope it wasn't only for the preview.

Hmm, looks interesting. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get it for a few personal reasons. At least not in the foreseeable future

Do you look down on the masterpiece that is ZUN art?  Shame on you!

[Suspicious person]

Hey, that's cool. I'm always down for new material, and even moreso if said new material is sure to have stuff from modern Touhou era 

... I hope there's going to be some kind of music tracks associated with this release cuz new stuff is first and foremost what I'm looking forward in a new release : while I'm glad that there is a new Touhou material, I kind of want and hope for it to have something beside review of spellcards that I'm already familiar with.

Previous litterary releases tend to have some kind of music CD (with NEW OST !) with them (ie : GoM itself, 3 fairies book, FS, among others), so I hope this is gonna have one as well 

[the old guy]

The lack of a listed artist is probably because its amazon, not a wiki page, so it wouldn't be surprising if it just forgot to list the artist. If its like Grimoire of Marisa, it'll probably be mostly pictures of spell cards from the game, muddling it a bit. Mistakes like that tend to happen a lot on websites about forthcoming releases.

I wonder why ZUN is interested in Sumireko so much lately. Because she's easy to write? (Being from the outside world.) Or it's the glasses.

Oh, no, I really enjoy ZUN's art.
I'm simply not expecting too much compared to other books, tho (let's be honest, he's not the best artist)

[Drake]

Note that the Grimoire of Marisa listing on Amazon doesn't list artists either.

[Tiamat]

If it's anything like Grimoire of Marisa (and all signs point to yes, it is), then it contains art of several danmaku spell cards.

Thus If ZUN is the artist (he probably isn't), it means we'd get to see how ZUN draws danmaku and spell cards.  Which would be... interesting, to say the least.

Alas, that is likely not the case.

ANOTHER HELP ,joined with the helpful reminders that " Authors (and their Info)" in these cases remain unlisted/unspecified/generalised,, or nearly so, on Amazon and the like

Officially for April 27.

[Clarste]

It's out, it's cool. There's actually a plot in it, and we get to see some fun character interactions.

[PK]

I was quite surprised to see her back.

Thanks for your work!
