Additional Information
Name and Concept
- The first volume of the series uses Touhou Sangessei (とうほうさんげっせい) in the title's furigana, while the second and third volumes use Touhou Sangetsusei (とうほうさんげつせい). Sangessei is most likely a misspelling, considering that it has only been used once, while Sangetsusei has been used in 東方三月精 ～ Eastern and Little Nature Deity and in 東方三月精 ～ Oriental Sacred Place.
