Plot
In the Human Village lies the bar Geidontei, where the zashiki-warashi Miyoi Okunoda works as a poster girl and waitress. The series revolves around her and the various mysteries and incidents surrounding her. After hours there is a small youkai-only get-together called the Sanshoku Geidontei (蚕喰鯢呑亭) with Suika Ibuki, Aya Shameimaru and Mamizou Futatsuiwa.
Concept
Mizutaki has been creating Touhou doujinshi for many years before Lotus Eaters, with his work featured in Strange Creators of Outer World and Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia.
Name
Suichouka (酔蝶華) is spelled with characters meaning "drunk", "butterfly" and "flower", respectively; a play on the plant series' Japanese title Fuuchousou (風蝶草), which are flowers in the Cleome genus, also named Cleome Spider flower. Suisei (酔醒) contains the character for but drunk and sober, and means the instant sobering after getting drunk. Lotus-Eaters refers to the race of the same name in Greek mythology, who mainly fed on intoxicating lotus plants and displayed apathetic behaviour. It's also an expression in English meaning roughly "daydreamer".
Press
The series was first revealed in the November 2019 issue of Comp Ace, released in September 2019. The series would start serialization two months later in the January 2020 issue of the magazine.
In August 2020 they announced the release of the first volume, which would compile the first seven chapters of the series. [1] After its first release week it was 93rd in the top 100 most bought books on Amazon. [2] The second volume was released in April 2021.
Licensed Translation
English
At the Crunchyroll Expo in 2021, Kadokawa announced that they would start publishing an official translation of the series, as part of their "Simulpub" initiative. [3] The official translations are distributed near simultaneously with the original Japanese version.
French
On 16 January 2023, Meian Éditions announced a licensed translation of Lotus Eaters. It is the 2nd Touhou manga series to be officially translated into French.[4] They can be purchased at anime-store.fr.
