''Mini Mari!'' can be read in its original Japanese on Pixiv [[http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?id=552160&tag=%E3%83%9F%E3%83%8B%E3%81%BE%E3%82%8A%E3%81%A3! here]], and is translated into English on [[ImageBooru Danbooru]] (no link provided due to NSFW ads, so please look it up yourself).

The comic started in 2010 and is still going strong. Beni Shake has released a few compilation books, primarily at events like the bi-annual Comiket and the annual Reitaisai festival. [[http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=37548449 The latest compilation]], released at Comiket 84 in summer 2013, covers the comic from 2010 to 2012.

* ArtEvolution: Like other years-long comics, Beni Shake's art style has changed dramatically; in early comics, long-distance shots of characters just had them as heads sitting on top of what looked like thin poles, while later years are much more detailed overall.
* BerserkButton: Poor Yukari is repeatedly called "Grandma" by Marisa, though her reaction is usually a sort of breakdown than an angry reaction.

** [[DeadpanSnarker Reimu]] manages to avert this for a few chapters, but [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/927807 starts to lose it five chapters in]] and a few years later, [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1285051?pool_id=3587 she's all but given up on trying to revert Marisa]].

* FanService: In [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1202179?pool_id=3587 Persuasiveness]], Marisa complains about a heat wave. Reimu's solution to her problem? [[spoiler:Strip down to her sarashi and panties.]]

** Lampshaded in the spinoff series ''[[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/972764 Mini Mini]]'', in which Reimu seems to be a bit annoyed at being reduced to the same mini size Marisa is:
---> '''Marisa:''' "What's wrong with bein' little? It's cute!"

* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: Flandre Scarlet's [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/894991 initial reaction]] to meeting Marisa. Unlike darker, more common depictions of Flandre, this is less out of a desparate need for a companion and more simply because she finds the chibified Marisa to be absolutely adorable.
* KidHasAPoint: Marisa says she doesn't like the idea of Valentines Day (at least the part about giving chocoloate as a roundabout way of [[LoveConfession confessing]]) and that if you like someone, you should just go ahead and say it; she then proceeds to tell Reimu and Koishi that she loves them both.
** Amusingly, the Danbooru comments for this comic are in total agreement with Marisa, saying that a lot of RomCom anime would be '''much''' shorter if the protagonists took her advice instead of futzing about for hundreds of chapters.
* OnlySaneWoman: Amidst Marisa's and Koishi's hijinks, poor Reimu often ends up in this role.
* RecoilBoost: Marisa tries to use her signature [[WaveMotionGun Master Spark]] and [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/928043?pool_id=3587 gets blasted into the air]].
--> '''Marisa:''' "Euuuuuuuuuu~"

* ShipTease: As demonstrated [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/986597?pool_id=3587 here]]:
--> '''Reimu:''' "Since she became small, [Marisa] won't go to sleep unless we're in the same bed, and somehow she tries to flirt with me."
** Later, Reimu and Marisa complain of the heat, and [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1466059?pool_id=3587 Reimu tells Marisa to get off of her]], presumably because of the body heat. Marisa refuses.
* ShoutOut: There are a few references to other games, particularly ''[[VideoGame/TouhouNingyougeki Touhoumon]]'' (and by extension, ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'') and ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter''. In fact, Koishi came to live with Reimu and Marisa because a Master Ball she threw at Marisa bounced back ("Reimu blocked the ball! [[WhatTheHellPlayer Don't be a thief!]]") and captured her.
* SleepCute: Demonstrated [[http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=39466414 here]] by Reimu and Marisa.

* TheTalk: In one brief series, Marisa asks where babies come from; Koishi makes the mistake of saying "p*n*s", which [[FromTheMouthsOfBabes little Marisa decides is a funny word and starts saying repeatedly.]]

''Eu?''

The comic follows the adventures of ''Touhou''[='=]s token CuteWitch, Marisa Kirisame, after she eats a strange mushroom and reduced to a childish, SuperDeformed form. Reimu Hakurei at first objects to this sudden transformation, but soon grows to adore the newly-minature Marisa's sheer cuteness.

* ExcitedShowTitle: The official katakana reading of the title actually reads "Mini-Mari!"

* HonestAxe: Spoofed in one strip. When Koishi's Master Ball gets damaged, the girls ask Nitori to fix it. She offers three replacements: a mini-Koishi, a mini-catgirl Koishi, and a [[BuxomIsBetter charismatic]] Koishi. Marisa says she wants all three, and Nitori says that since she was honest, she'll throw in a gold and a silver Koishi as well. Marisa is delighted, Reimu much less so.

** Not to mention Chen, whose appearance freaks out Yukari (who Cat!Marisa had been chewing on earlier).

* ChasingAButterfly: Marisa doing this in an early comic inflicts CutenessProximity on Reimu.

* ArtEvolution: Like other years-long comics, Beni Shake's art style has changed dramatically, becmoning more vibrant in later comics.
