== Trivia ==
* This game wasn't originally going to be split into three parts, but do to a collab with a creator's friend and new inspiration for characters, three parts were made.
*There is only one difficulty for each route. This is because it would be difficult to come up with and change danmaku patters for all the numerous characters.
*Akari Manto was meant to be a playable character with Karasu Utsuho that you could unlock if you beat them without taking a hit, but this was removed due to an inability to come up with bullet types for them.
*Originally, when the game didn’t have routes, Akari Manto was meant to be the final boss and Karasu Utsuho was meant to be the extra stage boss.
*Cirno, Momoyo Himemushi, Yukari Yakumo were going to feature as playable characters, but this was removed as it was difficult thinking of bullet types for Momoyo Himemushi and there would be too much dialogue to write.
*Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, and Hata no Kokoro were originally meant to be the only playable characters who you started out with, with the others having boss fights in order to be unlocked.
*Some of the songs in this game's soundtrack were made by Kale Hakaido, a Touhou-style music artist on YouTube.
