An uncountable number, to be sure.
There are lots of places that it seems like you'd have to intentionally put in the gay shipping hints.

Also he hired gay artists for his comics at least twice I think?

Considering ZUN has actively talked about gay people before acting like it's some kind of accident is goofy. Maybe at first he was just doing an all girls series because he can't draw guys or he just likes designing girls or whatever, but at this point we're thirty years in and Touhou is legitimately a part of lesbian pop culture. Like, half the yuri mangaka currently working got their start doing touhou doujins. Either he's the stupidest man in the world or he's aware of what he's got here, and if he's aware of what he's got here the fact that sometimes the writing leans into it proobaaably isn't accidental, even if we'll never get a canonical romance for a variety of reasons.

Yeah, joining a Touhou IRC channel and talking about touhou made me come to a transgender realization about myself so the series is very special to me even if I don't super engage in it much these days

Just throwing my hat into the touhou contributed to my sexual awakening ring. I think for me even beyond the usual shipping of the cast or anything like that, it was being exposed to an artistic aesthetic I had just never encountered before when I was like 13. It sounds cheesy but touhou has a focus on visual beauty that I fell into a deep appreciation for, which made me a lot more willing to exit my comfort zone and explore how I actually felt about expressions of masculinity or femininity and things like that.

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

toyosatomimi no miko is a trans icon and the series helped me realize relating to sailor moon as a kid was not, in fact, a coincidence, nor y'know, constantly straying towards the female option in everything.

looking forward to the new whalehu i love her already.....

The new manga just came out in Japanese. Whale girl's name is Miyoi if you want to refer to her as something other than whale girl.

As someone who got into Touhou mainly through IOSYS and similar meme videos, it's been great to see what Touhou fan music is like now. I remember when it was just pop, rock, metal, and electronic covers, now it's Irish folk arrangements, medieval covers, and funky disco.

This was a really fun chapter, thank you.
It's a shame this is probably jsut general memory powers and not specifically dream powers so sanbondo can just keep getting owned by canon

I really like the art style for this one

yeah IOSYS was front and center when I got into touhou too. I've resigned myself to never being able to hear all the touhou covers, I've still only sifted through ~15,000 of the ones from like a decade ago. there's so much good stuff out there too, and the overall quality I feel like is only getting better. I'm gonna wager there's at least a quarter million different touhou covers at this point, considering a decade ago there was ~40k floating around. the fanwork production for touhou is absurd, is there anything that rivals it?

also this part of this track has been my "unknown caller" ringtone for like half a decade

Whale girl seems very cool, and I like where things seem to be going with her.

This was a very strong 1st chapter imo. It's already giving me the same vibes that some of the strongest parts of FS did.

I'm curious what Whale Girl's specific power is. From what we've seen it feels like a copy of Koishi's powers. Maybe some sort of manifestation of getting so blackout drunk you forget what you did last night?

Given the theme of the other characters' titles, I'm a little surprised Sakuya's title just has the word "drinker" instead of something with "cooking wine" in it. Well, that said they're all one-liner idioms, so maybe they don't need any deeper meaning.

They're both older DJ Command remixes from the Toho Euro Flash series, but the promo image says "Part 1" so there's probably more coming.
