It's Yuu. Haru doesn't have the ahoge. Yuu is actually the first one of them tagged for that picture on the source.

^you were talking like ole Wikipedia was the only readily available source in English.

And D E E P L O R E is a tad inevitable with any franchise quarter-century old so eh.

^ I mentioned Wikipedia specifically because it was brought up before. And I did mention sources more broadly as not being useful when attempting to break into Touhou as a series. Touhouwiki is easy to find and that's about where its positive qualities end in that regard.

I think if I were to reduce it to single issue, it wouldn't be the quantity of content, but how fragmented it is. Most large franchises have a core installment or linear series thereof that will give you all the basics, and Touhou lacks that. The games are the closest, but they're not in order, most of them seem very episodic, the emphasis on the story in-game varies wildly, and some aren't even translated. So, if there even is a good jumping-off point, it is very hard to find.

^I'm not sure we're looking at the same Wiki and game series here.

^ Upon closer review of the very jumbled timeline page, the games are generally in chronological order, but I think that's the only point I had outright wrong. I'll be honest, I didn't look very close because I don't really know what I'm looking for and, as I already mentioned, I don't care very much.

I assume you're already involved with the series, and so I'll defer to you on facts but my original points were really more about my subjective experience. In any case, this topic's really wearing on me and I'd like to be done with this conversation.

The games are the closest, but they're not in order, most of them seem very episodic, the emphasis on the story in-game varies wildly, and some aren't even translated. So, if there even is a good jumping-off point, it is very hard to find.

Every single game, manga and spinoff is translated, the series follows an extremely linear timeline (roughly one incident per year), the Touhou wiki is widely considered to be extremely readable, comprehensive and accessible, and even if you're not into that, the TV Tropes page is extensive and has Cliffs Notes on every last character. As a whole, the project is considered accessible and fun precisely because it doesn't hit you with dense, complex lore or devote a hundred pages to explaining the magic system, but encourages thinking for yourself and interpreting various concepts and statements. That's the reason it has so many fanworks- the canon isn't an encyclopaedia so much as a launchpad.

Personally, I think you just seem to have a vested dislike for the franchise, probably because it didn't meet your expectations at an early point. That's perfectly fine- nobody's going to hold a gun to your head and order you to love Touhou. But if you insist on making claims about the series that are objectively wrong and misrepresenting it (to actual fans, no less), you're obviously going to get criticized. If you find it esoteric or weird or meandering or irreverent, then just say so- it's a sentiment that thousands will share, and considerably more honest than lambasting the games for not being 'in order' or translated.

Edit: Just saw your comment, never mind.

It has been forever since I played this game. Was not expecting to see it on dynasty.

^ I can't like this pairing cause of that too... Not from seeing any awful NTR fanart, but just feeling like it's NTR because NanoFate feels firmly like the OTP who are married and have a kid so any other pairing feels like derailment of the worst kind.

I'm just curious how this is ecchi but not NSFW. That's clearly ass-eating sir.
