It is drawn by Makoto Hirasaka (taking over from Nemu Matsukura due to the latter's health problems) and written by ZUN.


After May 2009, it was relaunched in the Comp Ace magazine as Oriental Sacred Place.

Plot

The story continues where Eastern and Little Nature Deity left off, it focuses on the daily lives of the Three Fairies of Light : Sunny Milk, Luna Child and Star Sapphire, said to be typical residents of Gensokyo.

Name

"Sangetsusei" (三月精, also romanised as Sangessei[2]) translates roughly as "Three Fairies", but san () is pronounced like the English word "sun", getsu () means "moon" and sei () is pronounced like sei (, "star"), alluding to the story's protagonists.[3]
