Looks like Moe Harukawa from FS again, so I'm already into it.

Apparently it's a new artist, at least in terms of doing official manga. Seems like they're active in the Touhou doujin scene and also did manga for Strange Creators already?

Moe Harukawa is strongly associated with Touhou manga (for good reason) so that may cause some small disappointment in people but I'm always excited to see a new person tackle it.

Eh. Every new touhou manga series has always had a new artist. And that’s cool and good.

That's true I just often see a few people focus on Moe as the iconic mangaka to the exclusion of the others.

I tend to focus on Harukawa primarily because i enjoyed her art style the most and Forbidden Scrollery is my favorite Touhou print work, dunno about the rest of the fandom though.

Honestly, I'm surprised to hear any of the official manga artists' styles would be considered iconic Touhou, I always had the vague impression the official manga were relatively unpopular compared to the wealth of doujin works out there.

They're not really but at least from my observation FS is considered the cream of the crop so to speak. It helps that Moe also did the character art for ULiL and AoCF so that's a tie in that leads people in that direction.

That's right! I'm the counting sheep, Meeko. And I'm a proper sheep youkai!

I think it's a combination of Moe's art style standing out a lot more than Aya's or Makoto's? Along with being pretty competently made. IMO her only real competition is Aya, and WaHH notably didn't start off with nearly as strong art as it had further down the line. Makoto's art is also cute it's just - not as big of a stand out, I suppose?

The other artists are, uh, I wouldn't say terrible but they definitely either weren't really up to snuff in comparison (Such as Aki*Eda), they had a very limited run in comparison (TOKIAME), or their artistic contribution is minimal (Genji). Given all that I'm not terribly surprised Harukawa is the artist of choice for a number of people.

Yeah for the record I thought the artist for this new manga was Moe at first glance but I'm totally fine with someone else doing it. Unless it was ZUN.

A manga drawn by ZUN would be far too powerful.

A ZUN manga would be incredible. I hope I get to see one in my lifetime.

Congratulations Clownpiece, saviour of Hell and Gensokyo.

Also, the more Okina shows up the more I like her. For a mysterious hidden God she is astoundingly straightforward and easy to understand.

But I believe that we'll see them again, as the four fairies are the best characters

I'm glad Hirasaka avoided having Okina get up from her wheelchair as some kinda power up thing, I was worried that'd happen.

Good stuff tho.

I hope Aya works on manga again (after a long well deserved break of course) even if its not Touhou. She really grew into it and I'd love to see where she goes from here.

Touhou Cannonball was also released today. Not sure how much depth there is yet but it's interesting enough. Definitely need to know enough Japanese to figure out win conditions and whatnot.

Google Translate app can let you plug in screenshots to translate. I’ve got no interest in Cannonball but this kind of translation has worked well enough for me for Kemono Friends 3 recently.
