@Kirin Sure, maybe? But why does that involve them getting into a bath strewn with flowers, fully clothed, together?

I cant make that fit anything.. Im inclinded to believe its just elements that they want to draw & look good/cool, without any thought to why or how.

Is that sky i the top left? It doesn't look like any kind of floor, so as I said, Im thinking it was drawn for aesthetics- and if there is any kind of sense to be made from it, I cant fathom it lol.

p.s Its a rather nice pic- and and it doesn't NEED to make sense or tell some story imo.

^ totally agree

You'd think being a sexy bunny Reisen would feature in lots of sexy Touhou doujins, but its actually really rare.

I don't care if it was a prank, even after all these years I still ship it.

I dont think i've ever seen Remi looking so cute and innocent before :)

I woulda LOVED to pair these 2 up- but poor Bernie has no yuri A rank endings :(

One darker take could be that this is a lover's suicide via drowning, which was quite common for lesbian couples back when Japanese society was even more conservative and homophobic. It would certainly explain the bandages (abusive parents or self-harm) and the tears. However, that's a bit too dark and I didn't want to be a complete killjoy, which was why I didn't mention it the first time around.

That's fair. My general perspective while analyzing art is to think that every element serves a purpose, but that purpose could also just be simple moe and aesthetic appeal as opposed to hinting at a greater narrative. And there's no denying that it's a wonderfully crafted art piece.

^Yeah im sure it is.

i love the differences of yuya kinda broken yuri (hahaah) just like huh ok

^yes

ShizuKasu is too powerful of a ship, it always gets me.

^Yup its very nicely put together.

Im fairly sure its not a lovers suicide.. since it looks to be in a bath.. that wouldnt be a great choice to try and drown together.

It might possibly be calling on that kinda imagery though (& Ophelia maybe) to evoke a tone,
like 'I will be with you to the end no matter what' but without actually going there..

The flowers look to be daisies? which means 'faith' in japanese flower language- that may or may not have meaning. Could equally just be picked at random to look nice.

^^ Reisen is actually infamous for just how much porn she shows up in, to the point where, "Useless bunny, only good for sex" is something of a meme in the (straight, male, unwashed) Touhou fandom. Heck, it's even indirectly referenced in-universe- one of the dialogues in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody during a Reisen vs. Aya match has Aya saying that she can't write about Reisen in her newspaper, because it would bring down the standards and dignity of her publication (which is meant to be a veiled Playboy Bunny joke).

I personally find it kinda sad, because Bun is a wonderfully complex character and one of the few 2hus who could be in a loving relationship without glaring issues of insanity, hunger, duty, species issues, immortality or yokai-logic getting in the way.

You 'bout to get tentacled, yo!
