Yeah, it's weird. Vampires are considered a subclassification of Oni in Japanese mythology, so getting beans thrown at them gets included in their weaknesses.

It's odd, too. They apparently lose their weakness to religious symbols, but retain their weakness to sunlight. Japan's weird like that.

Even more weirdly, Oni might not actually be vulnerable to beans after all. That's what Patchouli thinks, at any rate.

Urin's work is consistently adorable or creepy, with no in-between.

I don't recognize that character on the upper left from any of the games. Is she from the manga or the anime?

She's a minor youkai from one of the Rinnosuke short stories. Reimu and/or Marisa find her sitting by the road reading a physics textbook, so they beat her up, take her book, and try to sell it to Rinnosuke, IIRC.

Mamizou is surprisingly bad at impersonation, given what a big-shot tanuki she's supposed to be.

WaHH 33 draft

In which we see the difference between Mamizou and Yukari.

For Marisa's first speech bubble on the first uncoloured page, should she be saying "Isn't it great" with a question mark, rather than "It isn't great"?

For the record, I think "being an oni" and "not being a real hermit" are two entirely separate secrets Kasen has. In SoPM they imply that tengu can become hermits, so it's not like you need to be human to be a hermit.

Do we know that Kasen is strictly a fake hermit? She's fairly ignorant about what hermits are supposed to do, but PMiSS mentions that some people who become hermits are basically autodidacts who managed it without having a teacher. If Kasen could be one of those, then being unfamiliar with a hermit's duties doesn't rule out her being one.

I think one of the chapter end notes also mentions that Kasen's ascetic practice is based on Buddhist principles, not Taoism, which could explain why she's unfamiliar with what Taoist hermits do.

It says it right in her introduction, Hong Meiling is a chinese girl. Gensokyo's just a bit racist, so she gets lumped in with the youkai. :v:

Unzan and Ichirin are the heroes the fireworks display needed.
