Superior Hermit reporting in

Actually yeah, when you look at Kasen Ibara's popularity in the Touhou Popularity contest, you noticed that Kasen made a massive leap. (and I do mean MASSIVE) in one year.

She started off as this odd strange hermit with a bandaged arm looking for the Kappa's arms.. but eventually what we ended up getting is rather fun good natured hermit who pretty much is trying to help Reimu become a better person, takes care of rare exotic animals, and has the power to kill spirits (very literally), and yet remains in mystery (even though many have speculated she's an oni posing as a hermit) We still don't what her exact business with the arm is either. I think that's more than enough reason fans like her.

Course.... now with the most recent chapter Segia's been thrown into the mix.

This can only mean one thing, some serious stuff is most likely about to unfold between these two. I can feel it....

And at least we know from the comic that Seiga has at least met face to face with Kasen. But that's about as far is goes as of this point.
