Gensokyo, a world which exists quietly beside ours, separated by a mystical barrier. A utopia where humans and other beings such as fairies, youkai, and gods live peacefully together.

But what is Gensokyo?

About one hundred years ago, humanity had begun to lose faith in the existence of the supernatural gods and youkai in the world. Greatly pained by this loss of belief, the youkai banded together and sealed a part of the world away behind the magical Hakurei Barrier, maintained by the shrine maidens of the Hakurei Shrine. This land was named Gensokyo.

Gods. Devils. Monsters. Ghosts. The great Tengu and the mysterious Kappa. All manner of creatures live within this new paradise. Despite the close quarters with humans, the mystically enforced Spell Card rules have turned combat from a life-or-death affair into a game, a competition played by many as a test of skill and power. Drawn by this dream-like life, more youkai arrive each day. Humans stumble in through weakpoints in the Barrier. Monsters fight, maidens fly, and oni party.

Another day in in the Sealed Paradise.
