* ContinuityNod: In Chapter 3 of ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'', when the Fairies wake up to find their home covered in vines, Luna notes that the situation seems very similar, referencing the time a tsuchinoko covered their original home in Chapter 9 and 10 of ''Strange and Bright Nature Deity''. However, due to the generally poor long-term memory of fairies, she doesn't quite put two and two together.

* OurGodsAreDifferent: While fairies aren't actually gods, their nature as NatureSpirits makes them akin to divine spirits, and as a result harvest prayers directed at fairies work just as well as those directly at actual deities.

* NoSell: [[spoiler:Reisen Udongein Inaba's]] abilities can cancel out all three of the fairies' powers. In addition Sunny's refraction powers allow her to easily tank most light-based attacks, even those used by [[TheArchmage Yukari Yakumo]].

In addition to the main ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' video game series, and [[FanMyopia strangely overshadowed by the franchise's own fanfiction]], are a number of canon {{Spin Off}}s including comics and other print materials. ''Sangetsusei'' is the first {{manga}} entry in the ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' franchise. Like ''[[TouhouKourindouCuriositiesOfLotusAsia Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'' before it, it is a SliceOfLife story that focuses more on world-building than the Gensokyo-threatening "incidents" of the games.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: {{Invoked|Trope}}. In the final chapter the fairies try to improve their relationship with Reimu by attacking her, under the logic that Reimu always becomes friends with people after fighting them. It works.

* FisherKing: {{Exploited}} by Yukari, who has the fairies move into a dead tree to bring it back to life. The tree in question was actually [[CosmicKeystone part of the Hakurei Border]].

* '''Visionary Fairies in Shrine''' (upcoming), [[UnCanceled a surprise return to the series after a four-year hiatus]]. Will again run in ''Comp Ace'' starting January 2016.

[[ThePowerOfTheSun Sunny Milk]], [[{{Lunacy}} Luna Child]] and [[StarPower Star Sapphire]] are the Three Fairies of Light, a group of mischevious {{Nature Spirit}}s who live in the Forest of Magic (and later, the grounds of the Hakurei Shrine). With boundless enthusiasm and childlike intelligence, they have a tendency to get in over their heads, though they will often encounter other ''Touhou'' characters who are willing to help them out... or punish them for their shenanigans. Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame, PlayerCharacters of the main game series, serve as secondary protagonists.

* '''Eastern and Little Nature Deity''' (1 volume), illustrated by Nemu Matsukura and running in ''[=MediaMix=] Game Magazine''. It also includes the short story "Fairy of the Moon", featuring an encounter between Luna Child and Yukari Yakumo.

* '''Visionary Fairies in Shrine''' (Starting January 2016)

Over the course of its run, ''Sangetsusei'' has been published under three subtitles:

* FacialMarkings: The Bakedanuki that disguised herself as Marisa has has pair of small crescent shaped markings underneath her eyes.

* ScrewySquirrel: It's basically an inherent trait of most fairies.
* WordOfSaintPaul: Makoto Hirasaka drew Touhou {{Doujinshi}} before being hired for ''Sangetsusei'' and continued to do so after its completion, including such things as backstories for the Three Fairies of Light which may or may not reflect ZUN's intent.

* ScrewySquirrel: It's basically an inherent trait of most fairies.

* CanonImmigrant: While they already existed in the same canon, ''Great Fairy Wars'' marks the first time that characters who debuted in the expanded material later appeared in the games.

* CurbStompBattle: In the final chapter the fairies channel Reimu to a fight. The ''next panel'' is Reimu [[AtopAMountainOfCorpses standing over their unconscious bodies]].
