Goddammit I teared up slightly

This is the first volume I came across among the Bright Future series. It's refreshing to see a SDM story without Sakuya constantly stabbing Meiling, and when I found out that it actually has preceding series, well... the rest is history. It's a good thing that it's uploaded here by chronological order.

I have to like the artist's planning throughout the series. Things that boggled our mind (Like Sakuya's makeup) are soon to be revealed later on in the series.

That said, thanks again to those who approved them all.

This makes one feel happy.

As referenced to here, are you also going to post El Dorado and Shangri-La?

FIA, more than internets, medals or cookies you deserve for the uploads you have done... thank you very much...

Since they do have continuity of sort for being in the same universe, I believe that is a yes. But that'll be the work for another day, so do be patient for them...

You're welcome. I'll do anything to share a good story with others...

Damn I like this artist. I love the way he does all the characters, especially Meiling and Flan.

this is tender as a bitch, i think i cried a little

Someone who's good with TV-Tropes-fu, put these into the Fanfic Recs for Touhou! It must be shared with the world, and I don't know how to describe it without sounding odd.

This Bright Future series is hard to describe without sounding odd. Heart-warming, charming, sweet, funny, full of emotion. How to describe all that in one word? Aside from that, I am GLAD the artist made Sakuya more life-like now (I was surprised it was the makeup).

This is one of the greatest series of anything to have ever existed. I love A Bright Future and I love uni mate.

All I have to say is: Thank you F.I.A.!

agreed

i hope theres more from this series, i like it when my heart is warmed like this, Thank you F.I.A, Thank you unimate!!

There's at least one more part of Bright Future yet to come. 7 is underway.

(I also suspect there will be at least one more part to the Shangri-la/El Dorado series too.)

I'm assuming it's gonna be Meiling's, though she has had a large role in all of these except 3&5. Poor Koa...

I took a moment to flick through Shangri-la/El Dorado(I'm assuming that's the one based around MoF), it looks rather charming.

Also, great work on translating all this F.I.A.~

Oh how i agree. Also refreshing with a Flandre who is not ax-crazy, just sociably awkward and goddamn cute. Meiling for SDM's core banzai

Thank YOU for uploading this.

A fanwork with character development and strange but meaningful caricatures is a very rare find.

Definitely a beautiful series. Instant favorite. I look forward to what the author has in store for us next.

Also, many happy thanks to F.I.A and everyone who helped translate.

So...

I guess Marisa got away with another load of books while everyone was being inspired?

No, just Patchouli's precious thing.

And a great big THANK YOU to F.I.A for uploading!

Beautiful little work here. Sakuya was kind of freaking me out early on, but...wow...everything wrapped into a nice explanation and suddenly it just makes sense in a very heart-SOMETHINGING way.

Also loving the Flandre and Meiling here. It's nice to see a work where Meiling isn't just a total Butt Monkey who gets abused for once. The Remilia is nice too.

I hope we'll see more. What do you guys think about me putting this on TV Tropes' Fanwork Recomendation?

Correct. At least, Meiling is on the cover teaser image Unimate posted earlier.

This. It's cute as hell and a breath of fresh air from either crazy insane flan or even emo depressive "everything breaks" flan.

I'll do it tomorrow. I wanna give myself a Troper's page so that the recommendation can be verified first and 2:37 AM is a bit late to do much.

I'm gonna miss the odd Sakuya with makeup on, she sorta grew on me in a pseudo-erotic weird kinda way...

A Bright Future has been added to the TV Tropes' fanfic rec page by me, Ruki Motomiya. Pratty here on Danbooru.
