Mystia has quite a fashionable hat. And I love the art.

Interestingly enough, the manga seems to be very fruitous for content. Id say there is a lot more to be written about the side/supporting characters than it has been so far, and Im especially interested in how the relationship between the classmates (e.g. Minato/Shou -> Shino) goes, about family of the coworkers, especially that gyaru girl (girl girl, nice). She seems to have a lot more going on than meets the eye.

I appreciate the effort the artist spend on the background, even if it isnt so good. I see more and more manga with little to no background even in bigger panels.

Ooops, well I stopped playing after LoLK (and not because of LoLK, mind you), and up until then she only appeared in 7 and in 9, latter of which no one likes apparently :(

Whats unconnected marketeers, and that board game?!

Touhou will never be finished, itll live on in our hearts! But either way, if ZUN really decides to be done with his part, than that would be some kickass finale, although is it the player that chooses who dies, by playing marisa or reimu? (and winning or losing, that of course is not always in the hand of said players haha) Still, Id like the finale, at least one climax to be an all out war against the moon people (I mean those, who were cucked during LoLK, and finally wrapping up Silent sinner in a different way than just stealing some sake. Hell, it could even be the sisters wanting their revenge for the stolen sake as a premise, for all I care.)

Do people even still remember lily white? I guess the artist is one of the old guys already

Can a change in username be requested?

If so, would bubuu be ok?

Thank you!

I feel like reality just made some mistake. The thing that was supposed to end (Asumi yada yada) did not and instead dragged on. And by end I mean the Mai arc, maybe therell be more after their first encounter. Instead, this thing here ended rather abruptly (although I do not mind the ending at all, I think something like that is good enough). Im sure, something went wrong with our world!

Jokes on all the detective novelists, who cant write a good mastermind! This is how the puppet player should reveal themselves, this is how you make them plausible! (Im especially referring to a certain shounen manga, which became immensly popular and had one of the worst written characters Ive ever seen.)

With every new Touhou work, Reimu becomes a bit more stupid. Remember when she was channeling gods and had the intuition of a mastermind herself. Poor reimu had to be nerfed to justify the existence of extra stage bosses... (or I guess the few who seem smart enough to be a staple of the touhou masterminds)

Note that using cuteness to make the enemy hesitate is a viable strategy in war. Reportedly when the manpower of the Germans during WW2 ran out, they send in child soldiers. According to time witnesses on the Alliances side, it was harder to shoot at a child than at a soldier, even if both were armed and capable of the same.

I feel called out! And man am I glad to see the moon sisters face(s) again, seems like not everyone has forgotten.

I didnt see it coming. The "searching for a person" actually had an opposite effect on me. No high school girl would admit to searching for a lost doll, so I thought she cleverly lied about it, by telling a half truth (as the doll would turn to human eventually). Its a nice story. I dont understnad what happend at the end, did the doll survive? Or was that a flashback.

MVP. They still do Touhou, and coincidentally they only do quality ones! Best regards

Me neither, but I know that a comeback wouldnt be good if the odds arent against you. Will we get the chance to see Reimu play someday? And I want the moon sisters to make an appereance too. Its my dream.

When they said ongoing they werent lying.

You didnt Awoooooo. It was my crop, my crop for QUANTUM PHYSICS DAMMIT. On another note, kagamis the reason why i feel unnaturally attracted to anime girls with light purple hair/twi tails. E.g. Keqing. @TheAwooMaster (I dunoo if tagging someone does anything here)

This should be canon, dangit.

That is the big problem with Touhou. Zun makes interesting characters and then never revisits them. Sure the fan community fills the void with their doujins but even a small amount of new info has a hugely positive ripple effect. Remember when Zun wrote that Mystia runs a food stall, how much fanwork have we got out of that.

Starving Marisa's Blessed Meal
The Shinigami's Rowing Her Boat as Usual
Sanae-san Is on the Run!
The Gensokyo of Humans
The Tiles That I Cannot Cut Are Next to None!

They are all so well written that they should be canon.

I dont think so. By not revisiting characters he gives the community the choice to make their own Gensokyo. Dont forget, its officially a doujin, what ZUN creates I mean. Any fan work has the same canonity (is this a word?) if you so desire. After all, Gensokyo accepts all. So whether you take this as canon, or maybe the work of komachi and akyuu (which are both great, but contradict each other) is up to you. I personally hate how Yukaris depicted or used in "official" releases. Very much how I hate her role here. And yet there are some works where i like her more, and ill just take these.

Food tag?

This is a masterpiece. It blends all (I guess important, so sadly not all) characters in there really well, keeps its premise and is nicely drawn too. I wish I could be marisa right there. The characterization is authentic enough to be canon and it takes everyone seriously.

Should be ch. 17, not 16. edit: fixed

Why is ayas personality so different throughout the official serieses? Sometimes shes nice, sometimes a normal person, sometimes ruthlessly going for articles. Im just guessing its just dependent on what situation her newspaper is in...

Although Al does not know, she actually isnt a genius at all. Considering she has her memories of her previous life, which seems to be in our world, coming up with something like that would be childs play. I have yet to read a coherent fantasy story that gives humans more possibilities than our world. Shes basically using the knowledge and wits of the best of our world, of course it would take someone extraordinary from theirs to match that.

(i mean blowing a tree to shreds? Killing a dragon? We have the power of the sun right here... its just not very practical, sinc eits a bit too strong.)

Knowledge of the modern world definitely helps, but I think you're discounting Anne-Sophia's achievements a little bit too heavily. I mean, forget nuclear power, if you were suddenly dropped into a medieval setting with only the barest inklings of magi-tech starting to emerge and no direct access to magic for yourself, would you be able to build an efficient internal combustion engine? You probably understand the basic concept behind the device, but would be able to translate that into designing, and manufacturing, working parts from scratch, all while adjusting it for vastly different material and fuel characteristics? I'd wager that, without a background as a mechanic or engineer it would be pretty difficult.

On top of that, a lot of her inventions aren't just magical versions of modern tech. Her magic broom, blade-less sword, tiny shield, and her gift to Euphilia are all novel artifacts without real-world counterparts. Sure, she might have been inspired to create them based on media from the real world, but that's a far cry from starting with a functional blueprint and no guarantee that any of them are actually possible in her specific fantasy setting.

Put another way, Einstein isn't less of a genius because he was able to start from the works of Newton, Copernicus, and countless others.Progress is made on the shoulders of giants and the Princess is continuing that tradition.

(I hope the quoting doesnt escalate, but deleting everything is a bit much on ipad)
Sure, I may have been a bit harsh on her. And I did not know, the dagger was a bladeless sword. Ok, lets put it another way, as a physicist, I am incredibly bothered, that shes trial and erroring her way to creating things like a flying broom. I mean safety concernc aside, if you arent especially lucky, no way you could fine tune something to fly. (and to be fair, she still seems to have problems.) Yes, yes, I know, experimental physics are and will always be important, no doubt, but I guess what Im trying to say is: for having knowledge and thought process of the 21st century, shes suprisngly unsystematic. Einstein didnt bother with newton btw, he did with maxwell, but your point obviously holds.

As rainbow said, systematic experimentation is useful, but man, wheres the math behind all this? And now, Im not saying there should be actual math in this manga, dont get me wrong, but maybe the exposition just bothers me a bit.

Ohhh, I always thought it was the father of euphie who requested all those things to get rid of the lover of the prince. The way I understood it is, that the father disliked it, that euphie had a rival, so he wanted to get rid of her. So the things the prince claimed were in fact true. (At least partially. It was commented that they accused her from their own beliefs.) By that logic, I understood his apology to euphie as: Oops, i fucked up, sorry about your marriage.

Well if that isnt the case, I get your point, that it wasnt nice of him to do. But isnt a good leader one, who is cunning and can get rid of people for his personal interest? Mabye my image of a good ruler is a abit different than yours. But if you always act righteous, someone who does not like WILL make you suffer, prime example would be euphie herself.

Considering how clearly unfit the prince is to rule, I don't see how that outcome would even be a good thing anyways.

Im not sure i completely garsped why the prince is unfit to rule. The only thing we know of him so far is, that hes a rather emotional, easy to influence person and he does not care about customs. I mean sure, its undeniable that the protag has achieved more already, but ruling isnt about your scientific knowledge, hell it might even be good to cranck down that a bit. The prince also seemingly has learned to be assertive, making him a shrewd negotiator with his fellow noblemen under his thumb.

Oh and does marrying the girl consequently places him as the rightful heir? I also didnt get that, i just want him to be happy, is all. Its hinted he just wants to get more recognition (than her sister), but that would make little sense in regards of cancelling marriage, so im sure he does truly love that other person of lower standings.
