I thought there were a few boy Touhous? Or are those fan characters?

Except for Unzan (Who doesn't talk), Konpaku Youki (Who has never appeared), Genji (A turtle we haven't seen since the PC-98 era) and Rinnosuke (Bookworm know-nothing), Touhou is rather deficient in men.

There's Miko, kinda, but she got genderflipped.

A few. Actually there seems to be large number of nameless male villagers, but they're not important.

In terms of recreation, it's mostly just drinking parties. There's actually a chapter in the manga about a character complaining that all anyone does is drink.

Surely there's gotta be some rehab or recovery organizations for Touhous who've realized that they have a serious problem!

No, seriously, that's one of the chapters of WaHH that I haven't released yet. Sanae confronts Reimu about her drinking problem and they have a big non-comedic argument about it. The moral of the story is that revenge is a dish best served cold.

The problem with sports in Gensokyo is that you need to have a sport where it doesn't make a large difference if everybody cheats at it.

Cheating doesn't matter all that match when everybody does it. Danmaku is proof of that.

Does anyone have PC-98 albums or stuff like that? Specifically for LLS and MS tracks? I feel like I'm going crazy trying to find anything and failing.

Volt Catfish posted:

So what's the deal with Koishi's Heart Throbbing Adventure? I watched it all for the first time this morning, and thought it was pretty solid until like, part 9. The art style changed at that point, and everything started to become really slow and mediocre. The story started to go into complete nonsense, the episodes started being shortened to 1-4 minutes when before they were pretty consistent at hitting 10-12 minutes, the action seemed to die down...

Did the author just get sick of it? I was wondering at the start why the last two episodes weren't translated and why a lot of the later parts took forever to get translated, and I fully understand why now.

It's a shame, I thought he had a pretty amazing thing going there at first.

This was a bunch of pages back but if you're still interested the author appears to be forcing himself to finish it off, because he just posted 3 parts out of 9 labelled "Finale" in the last 10 days, all 10 minutes long. I haven't watched any so they could be even worse but hey, at least it's almost over. Then again forced conclusions aren't usually the greatest thing... Seems like he's going into overdrive though.

Byakuren doesn't need to make friends, she always has her Buddhist fan-club at beck and call. Also I love that Harukawa's going with the shorts interpretation of Murasa's outfit, it always kinda bothered a little me that TasoFro went with the skirt interpretation for Hopeless Masquerade.

I kinda wonder if ZUN is going somewhere with those remarks at the end of the two-parter. A previous story-arc had Marisa straight-up exterminate a new-born youkai, and now she remarks on Reimu going soft for not exterminating the ghost in this arc. I dunno if that was just a throw-away joke or if he's setting up future conflicts there.

In Japan at the moment and I am honestly surprised how little Touhou merch I have been able to find. Spent a few afternoons around Akihabara (admittedly dumping dollar on airsoft stuff) and despite checking out the figure and hobby stores in the area i cannot for the life of me find any touhou figures.

I have an easier time finding Frozen figures than I am Touhou, can any of you guys help? I am after one of the small, short 2-head high chibi figure things - maybe a Cirno or Satori, whatever brand they are called. I have approx one afternoon left to check out Akihabara after I get back from Kyoto in five days.

Or am I checking out the wrong town entirely? The thought has crossed my mind. :v: I'd like to come away with at least something, you know?

Make sure you look in shops that sell used stuff because most of the Touhou figures were printed between 2006 and 2010.

As a Touhou figure collector, I'm a little sad that the companies that used to make Touhou figures have moved on to Kantai Collection now. :( Maybe that's the best thing for my wallet, but still.
