Touhou - Lost All the Masks ~Searching Starting Now~ (Doujinshi) Manhua

In the mystical realm of Gensokyo, where emotions manifested in physical form, Hata no Kokoro awoke one fateful day to a chilling revelation – all her masks had vanished. As a being whose very essence relied on these masks to express her feelings, Kokoro was thrown into a state of sheer panic and desperation. Without hesitation, Kokoro delved deep into the Palace of Earth Spirits, tearing apart every nook and cranny in search of her precious masks. Her frantic quest led her to mysterious corners she had never explored before, but alas, her masks remained elusive, as if swallowed by the shadows themselves. Feeling utterly lost and vulnerable, Kokoro sought aid from her comrades in Gensokyo, including the venerable Reimu Hakurei. However, even the wise shrine maiden was unable to shed light on the enigma of the missing masks. With a heavy heart, Kokoro set out on a solitary journey to reclaim what was rightfully hers. As she traversed the enchanting forests and encountered a myriad of peculiar beings, Kokoro's stoic determination shone brightly amidst the whispers and stares that followed her maskless visage. Unwavering in her resolve, she pressed on, guided by an unwavering belief that her masks held the key to restoring balance to her fractured world. It was at the ethereal Misty Lake that Kokoro stumbled upon a chilling revelation – the mischievous ice fairy Cirno held vital information regarding her masks. But before the truth could be unveiled, a sudden gust of wind whisked the masks away, leading Kokoro into the heart of the mysterious lake. There, amidst the shadows and mist, Kokoro confronted the enigmatic Nue Houjuu, the culprit behind her plight. Rather than succumb to anger and despair, Kokoro exhibited a newfound strength of character, appealing to Nue's sense of empathy and understanding. With a mix of relief and gratitude, Kokoro reclaimed her masks and returned to the Palace of Earth Spirits, her journey culminating in a profound realization of the importance of embracing one's emotions, even in the face of adversity. As she adorned her masks once more, Kokoro vowed to cherish their power and use them to convey her deepest feelings to the world, forever changed by the trials that had tested her spirit and resilience.
