Too cool for that shit.

>>17259412
Surrounded by 2hus
Only cares about junk from the outside world
His mom never visits and his dad is dead

>>17259412
It's because he canonically has a dick.

>>17259535
He sounds like our average /jp/ user.

>>17259564
y-you saw it?

>>17259587
Everyone saw it.

>>17259587
>>17259592
Even the lunarians and everyone in makai saw it.

Here you go.

>>17259612
all right who cued the old Donna Summer hit "Hot Stuff"?

>>17259412
1: Male

2: Not in any games [Although Marisa does mention him in an ending]

I wish I could be him. All the cute girls come by and visit his shop to keep him company.

>>17259679

Male character. Mostly keeps to himself and is mostly obsessed with his shop rather than the goings on in Gensokyo. His main characterization is from written stories without pictures and although he does appear in most of the mangas in some capacity it's usually a one-off appearance (and the mangas are significantly less popular in the fandom than the games). Doesn't appear in mainline games at all and barely cameos in the others.

I think that's okay though. Rinnosuke's philosophy is to stay out of everyone's shit and he only really cares about his curio shop. Not every character has to meddle in shit constantly. His shop being a base for Kasen/Sumireko lately is about the level of activity I'd expect from him.

For what he is he does have a decent amount of popularity (70+ on the poll is pretty low considering how long he's been around, but again, lots of people don't read the print works), and although Touhou really isn't a place for romance, he has a few ships with characters, if that's what you're asking about. For my money I'd honestly much rather read a doujin about Rinnosuke than one about a faceless male insert.

>and the mangas are significantly less popular in the fandom than the games
This is actually not very true anymore. From the last popularity poll, a maximum of 80% of respondents played EoSD, while about 65% of respondents read the ongoing manga.

dude creator self input in game lmao

>>17260282
There's nothing inherently wrong with a creator self-insert. If he's the most powerful character or everyone in the story loves him, then it's a problem, but Rinnosule's nothing like that. Also
>in game

>>17260282
>in game

>>17259749
They keep him company alright.

I need Fifty Shades of Gray fanfic with Rinnosuke and Marisa.

>>17260405
>When ordinary magician Kirisame Marisa goes to visit young-looking antique shop owner Morichika Rinnosuke, the latter encounters a woman who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Kourin is startled to realize she wants his stuff and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get away with not paying for it. Unable to resist Marisa’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Rinnosuke admits he wants her in his shop, too — but on his own terms.

>Shocked yet thrilled by Marisa’s singular obsession, Rinnosuke hesitates. For all the trappings of success — his otherworldly business, his vast wealth, his lovely book collection — Rinnosuke is a man tormented by his youkai ancestry and consumed by the need to keep his shop in order. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical business affair, Rinnosuke discovers Marisa’s secrets and explores his own dark desires.

>This fanfic is intended for mature audiences.

Rinnosuke is a character in the Touhou Project series, but not a 2hu.

Rinnosuke is a rapist.

Rinnosukes great cause he's too autistic to be with the 2hus romantically

>>17259412
Really? I think he's gets lots of fanart compared to most spin-off 2hus like Akyuu or Kosuzu. Heck, he probably has more than say Ichirin or Seiga. I think it's pretty impressive considering he's male and his only game appearance is a cameo in HM.

>>17261356
Because no one wants a male in their yuri world.

>>17260574
Would you mind providing the source?

>>17261356
Tried it. As comparison, Kourin has 14099 results.
>Akyuu
6572
>Kosuzu
3297
>Ichirin
7719
>Seiga
9179

This isn't definitive, but the number is quite overwhelming.

>>17260516
It is every bit as terrible as I had imagined.

>>17261027
A mouse is fine too

>>17259788
that's kinda sad that not much of the fanbase read the mangas
they have good arts, nice story, and lot of fun shenanigans

>>17262918
>image for ants
Gott'fortemi

no silly hat; not a real touhou

I hope we'll get another male in touhou someday

>>17259788
> written stories without pictures
Isn't there a picture or 2 for each story in CoLA?

>>17263188
>I hope we'll get another male in touhou someday
Taishi-sama

>>17263188
>I hope we'll get another male in touhou someday

Reimu has been in touhou since the beginning.

>>17263188
But Mokou is obviously a guy crossdressing as a cute girl.

>>17259412
Honestly, it baffles me that there aren't more doujins/art with Rinnosuke as a self-insert.

>>17262497
Why so few of Kosuzu? She is like, ultra cute.
Also, she stars the best manga.

>>17268218
Because having a face makes it difficult to properly self-insert. I'd say "an established persona" too, but this is Touhou we're talking about, where those things usually goes out the window for the sake of comedy.
Personally, I prefer it that way. Having a guy - and a side character at that - be this overwhelming presence in a series where girls are the main cast is somewhat jarring. I prefer my "I see nothing, I know nothing" Kourin, thank you very much.

>>17268351
Because she is dead.

He is fujoshi bait.

>>17262918
Where can I get all the Touhou mangas from?

>>17268632
But not even the fujoshits want him.
Which fucking upsets me.

>>17260574
Is this page actually FROM anything?

>>17260574
not even fucking yandex got me anything usable

>>17269270
If you're that desperate, it's Magical Kinsenyoku. and also non-h.

>>17269275
thanks very much anon

>>17269067
>that one doujin where Kourin crossdresses as various characters and anally faps

Because nobody cares about him

>>17269569
ZUN does, and that's all that really matters.

>>17268351
she is newer and can get 'lost in the character shuffle' at times, plus Rinnosuke has a couple of years on her to gather artworks. It's not a hard and fast rule but it goes a little way to understand the discrepancies in the numbers.

>>17269561
>that one doujin where Kourin drugs, rapes and mind breaks 2hus to become his sex slaves

>>17269015
What do you expect? The only other male character that has any sort of meaningful relationship with him is Marisa's dad. And it probably doesn't go past employer/employee.
>>17268218
no
>>17269067
Yes.
