Forbidden Scrollery

Forbidden Scrollery is a manga originally published by Kadokawa in Comp Ace, beginning serialization on October 26, 2012. The story follows Kosuzu Motoori, a human book renter and avid collector who serves as the central protagonist of this official Touhou comic. Operating within her unique profession, Kosuzu navigates a world where literature holds far more than simple stories, bringing readers into an environment rich with hidden lore and esoteric secrets. What sets Kosuzu apart from ordinary collectors is her mysterious and extraordinary ability to decipher any text she encounters, regardless of the language or script in which it is written. This rare talent draws her deep into the perilous realm of demon books—an assortment of highly dangerous and exceedingly rare volumes that harbor supernatural power. As she continues to gather and translate these forbidden texts, her daily life becomes intertwined with the mysteries they contain, placing her at the center of a narrative driven by ancient knowledge and the inherent risks of handling such volatile artifacts.
