Oh, I didn't mean in response to your comment. The scanlation got her name wrong (-kawa instead of -waka), lol.

Edit: And yes, Ushi (牛) is cow/ox. =]

But... But her name is Ushiwaka though...

We use zip files when we upload our releases. We use Google Drive, but there are many alternatives.

Are they blood sister? No copped-out adopted siblings/ sisters-through-parent marriage?

They make quite a big deal out of finding out the answer to that in the VN, so I'd suggest finding out for yourself, but if them being so or not is a deal-breaker to anyone, then caution, spoiler: they are 100% blood related sisters.

@Alice Cheshire
A real life acquaintance of mine is called Alice Helsing. I always imagine she'd get flamed like crazy for "trying to hard", if she used that name on a forum. x)

@Vankomycin
You might like Yagokoro Eirin. She likes to punish her servants when they don't act according to her wishes. Wink wink

I don't think it was bad, just really not up to snuff with what vol. 1 & 2 made me expect. :/

@moguTL
Google has tricked us yet again! We can't let them get away with it!

@h3x
If it makes you feel better, the latter half of the story is sadly rather underwhelming.

@Alice Cheshire
Something about the Cheshire part tipped me off that that was the case... ;D

Haha, yeah, his relationship to Reimu and Marisa is more like "Oh no, not these people again... They're gonna steal all my stuff...", rather than romantic interest, lol. Though he does get very happy when he gets to explain (monologue) about something... x)

It's awesome that we have so many different answers!

Even if they're not my personal favourites, I agree with what everyone said about their own favourites. Pretty much all characters in Touhou are really likeable!

Meiling certainly does have the "butt of jokes" part down, to the point that I often feel sorry for her...

We all know that! Give us the reason, dammit! Tell us your secrets!

I'd be fun to hear from both hardcore fans, and those with just a casual appreciation.

It doesn't have to be something super specific, like, "I like Toyosatomimi no Miko, because Prince Shoutoku is awesome!". Anything from "I like Reimu, because even though she's a main character, she's a greedy asshole in canon, and I find that that's hilarious" to "I like Kyouko 'cuz she's like, sooo cute!" is a valid reason!.

Personally, my favourite character is Yakumo Yukari. I like her scheeming personality and her almost constant smile, but most of all, I just love her design to death. Specifically, I like the Chinese-styled western dress. Unfortunately, many artists seem to prefer to purple dress, perhaps because it is easier to draw...

I'd post a selfie to join the fun, but I already have one as my avatar...

The first volume contains 7 chapters. I'm not sure how much more has been published since its release. Baka Manga Updates lists it as having two volumes published, but also uses the cover of Isn't the Moon Beautiful vol.2 in the same article, so I don't think it's correct.

Personally, I think it should be more about if it is a plot twist or other significant event, or not. Relating back to your examples, knowing that Eli joins the group would generally not ruin the experience for anyone, but knowing about a plot twist like a character death can definitely ruin the experience for a lot of people. And like my own example earlier with the yuri tag, does it really matter if it becomes a common tag? YouChika's First Kiss has both character names and "kiss" in the title, but still has the Chika x You and yuri tags.

Isn't the point of tags to let people know what the work contains, though? "Fuck it, it's your problem" doesn't quite seem like the right way to go...

The usual argument with tags is that certain tags can be spoilers in themselves, e.g. reversal, supernatural, or foiled rape attempt, so I find it the argument that spoiler tag itself is superflous to be rather ironic.

It seems to me that the argument here is that "it's bothersome to tag things", rather than whether there is a reason to or not.

My point was that just because I have known about something for months, it doesn't mean everyone else have as well. Whether that is because of a language barrier, or because they simply haven't seen/read/played it should be irrelevant. A spoiler is a spoiler, whether the source material is easily available in English or not.

Can watch and have watched are not the same, though.

So the fact that I haven't seen Madoka is irrelevant, because I was probably spoiled elsewhere already? I don't think that's a very compelling argument.

If spoilers are only relevant for a few months after release, I and others who read raws could flood the forum with spoilers for series with heavily delayed releases, such as Virgins' Empire.

Simply put, I don't think time takes away from the fact that something is a spoiler. The movie Psycho was released in 1960, and to this day, people still say "I won't give away the ending, you should watch it yourself". Something being old doesn't take away the fact that new people are still experiencing it for the first time.

Isn't that up to people themselves to decide what they want to read, though? I'm sure many read doujins for work they aren't familiar with, simply because it seems cute, or has good art.

There is no need to retroactively go back and tag everything, but there is no need to refrain from tagging new additions either, whether the source material is old or not. The spoiler tag is there as a warning, just like the violence and rape tags. I personally don't think "people should know by now" is enough reason to refrain from tagging something. After all, this is a yuri site, and there is still the yuri tag.

I think it will always be a useful tag, since there will always be people who haven't seen the source material. When you see the tag, you can make the decision to read it anyway, or hold off in case you intend to read/watch/play the source material at some point.

I don't see anything negative about the tag, and I think it serves its purpose well.
