What a maniac

Desecrating a Grave-site
Vandalism of Public Property
Slander
Public Intoxication
Breaking and Entering
Libel
Desecrating Place of Worship
Harassment towards the Mentally Ill

>>47077912
I can polish this gem to perfection

it's funny that it took this long for renko to do some desecration when merry was desecrating grave sites in her first appearance

>>47077912
>>47077931
These two deranged collage girls need to be stopped.

They're a clear danger to themselves and those around them

>>47077983
t.

>>47077809
DO NOT

>>47077809
She's never living that incident down, is she?

>>47077809
>>47077912
I can fix her

>>47079480
She doesn't need fixing, she needs cultivation

These two are genuine unhinged, like what the fuck is their problem?

>>47079515
Not enough loving
It won't stop Renko's jizo genocide but giving her a hug would make me feel better.

>>47077809
>Narumi
You know that Eiki was also once a Jizou statue, right? The judge might go after her soon.

>>47079555
Yep.

>>47079515
They make Sumi seem like a well adjusted citizen.

>>47077809
A veri cute sociopath

>>47079645
very*

>>47079645
Renko in a bunny suit!

>>47079515
No problem, just two perfect, beatiful, smart, charming angels with big dreams!

Why does /jp/ like the Hifuus so much all of a sudden? I didn't think one album would make them this popular.

>>47079679
The jay has always loved Merry.

>>47079679
Boys love it when you bully Jizo statues

>>47079679
They were always the best girls, the new album just reminded people of this fact.

There was a Narumi thread that went to limit recently. Around 309 posts of jizou love and one fucking insane sealer post.

>>47079715
What Narumi hears when Renko enters her forest
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atKUCxXanXA

>>47079679
I think it's because they got a lot of discussion in one yandere 2hu threads and it snowballed from there

>>47079749
And why did they get a lot of discussion in the yandere threads? Because /jp/ loves them.

>>47079555
At first, it was just a way to manage her autistic rage. "It's no big deal", "I could just put it back the way it was later" she told herslef, but it was too late, she had tasted blood, now there was no going back.
Since then, whenever she saw a Jizo statue she felt an uncontrollable anger. "It's no big deal, I can control myself" she tought. Soon enough, all of Kyoto knew about her, no statue was left unturned. Every day people would put them back up and every night she would kick them again.
"Why do you keep doing this?", Merry asked. "I am here, there is no portal to open". But it was too late, the thrill had gotten to her.
One night, she had a dream of a hidden world, in a different dimension. And when the people of that world died, they were judged by... BY A JIZO STATUE!?
She woke up in a cold sweat. "Pack your bags, Merry. We have an adventure to go on."

From the esteemed Renko daterape thread.

>>47079679
I've always liked the cute little autists

>>47079749
What were those threads like?

>>47079679
Probably because they got a new album recently after years

>>47077809
I hope this DORK offspring gets sent to hell for over 10 millenia

WAIT RENKO STOP DON'T KICK THAT ONE-

>>47077809
Renko has completely destroyed my mind. For the last few weeks, not a day has passed without me thinking about her.

>>47081479
Someone's got a new imaginary girlfriend!!!!

>>47077809
Next time try hitting a Jizo with this one.

>>47081631
don't you have a professor to abuse?

>>47079960
They argued that if Renko or Maribel were yanderes, they wouldn't hate each other and in fact would consider each other the only women who could be trusted near their boyfriends, and would force their boyfriends to live together with them, go on adventures, all that stuff. Notably, not a polygamous relationship, just a very strange and autistic one.

>>47079668
I think this is the better outcome desu

>>47079679
I love seeing /u/ representation in Touhou canon!

ha

>>47077931
Oh, okay! So when Miss Foreign Boobies violates every law, including physics, it's all good and gucci. But cute, innocent Renko-chan desecrates 1((一) ichi) teeny, tiny holy site, oh, call the police, the mental asylum! This girl ain't right in the noggin!
I see you all, I know how it is. Nice girls finish last as always.

>>47077809
She is like the anti kind woodcarver/hatgiver from the tale. Imagine if he went home to his wife and said "AND THEN I JUST STARTED FUCKING THEM UP FUCK THEM".

Jesus Fucking Christ Renko.

The Ghostly Dickhead Club.

>>47082650
That's a surprisingly cute turn of events. I was expecting way worse stuff.

>>47082875
This would actually be a good movie if Renko saw Sumi in the window of the haunted mansion.

>>47083230
>Miss Foreign Boobies
That's no way to talk about your best friend.

You gonna have a long redemption song Renko.

>>47082732
She's so happy!!

>>47082732
So fucking adorable, I can't....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVmnIKnIiPE

This Renko and Maribel song is so underrated, which is a shame since it's decently popular in Japan and gets played live fairly frequently

It's so happy

>>47083862
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVmnIKnIiPE
lame

>>47081631
IS THAT?! OH BAH GAWD ALMIGHTY! HERE COME RENKO WITH A STEEL CHAIR! WHAT'S SHE'S ABOUT TO DO WIT-?! NO WAY!!! SHE'S SHOOTING THAT JIZO STATUE!!!! GAWD ALMIGHTY TAKE ME AS A WITNESS!!!!! SHE'S BROKE HEEM!!!! OH BAH GAWD!

Retrospective 53 Days in Prison for Vandalism

>>47077912
When did the slander and libel happen?

Who is better to hug, Renko or Maribel?

>>47084028
I laughed at this shitpost so hard than I had a stroke. Now I imagine Renko in a wrestling match vs Narumi.
By the way anons, will Renko or Maribel or both will show me thier panties?

>>47086447
Maribel, of course, but I'd still rather hug Renko, she's a nice girl and deserves it.

>>47086447
Maribel strikes me as the touchy feely type.

>>47086649
But that's what could make hugging Renko fun. Her autism would make her confused and awkward about how to handle a hug. It's a strange mix of being perplexed, squirming, but also wanting more!

>>47082650
It was great when they wrote about both being yanderes and continuing to be like that, but also forcing the poor bastards to only be friends with each other since they could only really go with them when they went in their weird ass autistic adventures.

>>47086562
"pan...ties?"
"What's that?"

>>47081631
So she gets chair'd to atone for her great-grandma's sins...
Eiki sentenced Renko confirmed.

>>47086807
"It's something than some men of culture like to look at mi'lady."

>>47086683
Eventually, when Renko is more used to them, she'll eagerly hug you on her own! Only Renko's hugs are pretty tight, she's stronger than she looks and can't control her strength.

>>47086447
>>47086683
>>47086852
CUTE AUTISTIC HUGS!!!!!!!

>>47082650
For me, the best part was how they weren't too different from how they are in canon, although a bit exaggerated.
If they ever fell in love in canon, that's more or less how I'd expect them to act. They already are autistic and obsessive, that thread just focused their autism and obsessiveness to two anons.

>>47086562
I dunno, but what color their panties have?

>>47086562
There is a good chance they wear bloomers anon

There are events which fundamentally change a person. They turn life from a continuous affair to two distinct parts, the before and the after. Whereas in the before is filled with blissful ignorance, the after is nothing but endless ruminations and regrets about a single moment.
Here, Renko's image, she kicked a Jizo statue.

>>47088080
I don't know for sure but Maribel would probably have some violet lingerie on her, while Renko would be a generic white or black.
>>47088736
OH NO NO NO NO NO! NOT THAT! NOT THAAAAAAT!

>>47086852
Rib-cracking autistic hugs from Renko!

Playing Doom with the 'ko

"PROTIP: To defeat the Yōkai, shoot at it until it dies."

ROUND TWO
FIGHT

>>47083499
She's not beating the breast envy allegations.

>>47086683
Has Renko never been hugged before?

>>47095042
She's hugged Maribel obviously, but that's like getting hugged by your mom or grandmother. It's not the same as getting hugged by (you).

>>47086683
Felt the need to draw this so I might as well post it. I don't think it captured the emotion described there but I think it's close enough.
Renko is so cute when she feels emotions she doesn't understand!

>>47093777
I love Maribel's Foreign Boobies

>>47089323
If I can't have those, why live?

>>47095048
>that's like getting hugged by your mom or grandmother
We found the deep lore. Yukari went back in time and had sex with a male from the Usami family and made Renko so that she could give her past (future) self a (girl)friend.

>>47093777
HOLY TRIPS how will Renko cope?

>>47077809
The next album is going to be Renko snapping going on a Jizou statue desecration spree while Mary tries to stop her.

>>47095854
Come on, Renko is the cutest wood plank there ever was

>>47096295
I thought to myself that it would be really funny if the next album started with Merry waiting for Renko to get released from lockup after getting caught kicking over that Jizo statue in TJD just like Renko waited for Merry to get released from the sanitorium in NToJ

>>47096366
Come on, she's got at least B cup breasts.

>>47096387
When Merry came out of the hospital, her powers had gotten way stronger. I wander what the prison will do for Renko's abilities.

>>47081479
lucky you

>>47077912
What will their next crime be?

>>47099893
genocide

>>47096387
"10 YEARS IN THE JOINT MAKE YOU A FUCKING PUSSY RENKO!"

>>47100072
That seems a bit too ambitious. It is a good end goal, but it's best to get there with small steps.

>>47100659
Renko is stronger than she looks. I'm sure she can manage it if she puts her mind to it.

>>47079515
They were born this way

>>47089167
The truth is even darker, she was always like this, she just stopped hiding. It was always going to happen, it was just a matter of time.

>>47089167
>>47104992
ああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああ

>>47077809
I love Renko, she is the most autistic 2hu!

>>47105295
Alice has been dethroned?!

Amazing

>>47105347
Alice does have very few friends and weird hobbies, but, unlike Alice, Renko can't even hide behind a thin veil of elegance while in other's presence, she's just too autistic!

>>47105507
Who's the person holding hands with Merry and why does she have such a cool hat and why is she so cute and awesome?

>>47100659
First they need to overthrow the government and whip everyone into a militaristic fervor like in the time before and during WWII.

>>47105623
How do you know she's awesome when you don't even know who she is?

Admitted, you're only after her pretty face and sexy body!!!!

>>47105507
This woman is a criminal
She is a dangerous human being
She is an asshole
She'll kill you and put you in the graveyard

>>47105859
Then her friend will play with the tombstone to see what happens

>>47105761
She just looks like an amazing person, it's not my fault her awsomeness radiates thru the picture.
>you're only after her pretty face and sexy body!!!!
then why wouldn't I go after Merry?

>>47107681
>Spoiler
Surely, even though you browse /jp/, you can't hate yourself that much, right?

>>47107711
What's that supposed to mean?

>>47107730
You wouldn't go so far as to subject yourself to Maribel 'That's Just Your Opinion' Hearn, right Anon?

>>47095257
Renko is cute! She needs to be hugged!

>>47107779
No, because I earnestly love Renko. But if I were to fall in love with Maribel, I would read everything Jung ever wrote twice over just for her.

>>47095257
This warms my heart

>>47081479
Were you the guy who kept rolling renko in the yanhu threads?

>>47109025
Yes, actually. Maybe that has something to do with it.

>>47109054
That's so cute. So are you two officially dating already?

>>47109164
So it seems.

>>47105859
She is just misunderstood...

How did this become one of Renko's defining traits?

>>47087952
>pic
love this novel series. it's about merry and renko getting warped into gensokyo and then getting entangled in all the incidents in some way. renko always comes up with some unhinged theory for what's really happening behind every incident. whole series is here in moonrunes
>http://longnovel.com/touhou/touhou001/
definitely worth a read if you like hifuus or 2hu lore in general

>>47096387
Akyuu says almost all Yamas are former Jizo statues. I think Renko has bigger problems than prison.

>>47110810
is that 'This is the Hifuu Detective Agency?' There's a full translation either finished or just about finished on AO3
https://archiveofourown.org/series/3414778

>>47111454
yes. nice to see someone has the energy to translate it, it's a lot of text

>>47110810
>>47111454
>>47111597
Love EO

>>47079701
So this is all Renko had to do for people to realize she is best girl?

>>47079668
bnnuy renko

>>47111597
Oh Captain my captain.

>>47105347
I'm going to Renko

>>47110810
Yeah it is great.

>>47105636
It would be cool to see them graduating but I don't think ZUN will ever do that

>>47123591
They've already graduated out of virginity together!

Renko rage!

>>47110734
I think it boils down to.

1. Don't fuck with jizo.
2. Don't fuck with Narumi.
3. Don't do something that will make Saint Peter look like a bleeding heart compared to the Yama.

Think of our beloved shrine maiden still getting rage for killing a fucking retard who did everything wrong and then started talking shit. And cats on the jay are still mad about that.

>>47110734
I think it's because Renko has never done something like this.
Ironically, when Maribel does weird insane stuff it slides right off her because she just does that, that's her role whereas Renko is more the one who says weird insane stuff.
I think the way it was writen also builds a certain image.
>She wasn't the kind of reserved human to just sit there lamenting her own powerlessness.
>"Maribel Hearn! How long are you going to keep thinking that discovering other worlds is your privilege alone?"
>Renko roughly knocked over a jizo statue.
So Renko knocking over a Jizou becomes a symbol of her autistic rage.

>>47123841
>And cats on the jay are still mad about that.
My nigga FT did nothing wrong.

>>47123841
Renko is exposing the Jizo mafia. Why are so many Yamas, the ones who send people to hell, former statues of the bodhisattva of hell-beings?

>>47125148
He dindu nuffin.

>>47125138
>"Maribel Hearn! How long are you going to keep thinking that discovering other worlds is your privilege alone?"
Weird how jealous Renko is of Maribel
Also, to my knowledge, this is the first time she's been to another world

What the fuck is it with this fucking family messing with the biggest sweetheart in Gensokyo?

>>47128317
For Renko it comes hand in hand with being the perfect woman, I don't know about Sumireko though.

>>47127804
Didn't they both go to the Netherworld?

>>47111454
Oh neat, I was looking forward to reading these

>>47123609
How is someone as intelligent as her so immature?

Renko game:
https://ferdyslab.itch.io/renko-has-too-much-fun-drawing-on-poor-dreaming-maribels-face

>>47130679
lol I keep waking Merry up.

>>47077809
ugh

>>47130679
Finally won! Good God, I won't be this proud of myself when I finish collage.

>>47130679
Really fun game

How useful is Renko's ability? I can't think of many uses for it but I'm sure it's good for something.

>>47123591
ZUN will keep every single character the exact same age until the end of time there is no hope for that

>>47135920
She was able to identify the Netherworld from a picture of the Moon. I think it could be useful if you are in some parallel world like that

The most stylish 2hu of them all

>>47090124
What a dork!

Where is the location of the Tanabata Hill in Ibaraki prefecture(formerly Hitachi)?
There was a thread about it right after the cd came out and some Anon posted a Google maps view of the place, but I can't seem to find it. I wanna go have an autistic rage in the woods like the 'Ko one day, too!

Can anyone help out? I'll even kick over a statue for you, too! (Then profusely apologize to it while picking it back up and cleaning it off. I'm already hellbound, no need to add to it)

>>47144503
They said it was Hitachiōta. Here's the google maps for reference https://www.google.com/maps/@36.613602,140.4479399,3a,75y,124.16h,80.59t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1seoLkqDpEfIbwT697on_Q8w!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DeoLkqDpEfIbwT697on_Q8w%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D124.16315998924333%26pitch%3D9.414387167365405%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu
this is supposed to be the entrence, but I don't see any Jizos.
Don't worry about kicking it, Buddhism is universalist, ironically enough if Buddhism is true you'll still achieve nirvana before Jizo.
Also, remember to scream "Maribel Hearn! How long are you going to keep thinking that discovering other worlds is your privilege alone?" before kicking it.

>>47144659
Thank you, kind (totallynotayoukai) Anon.

>>47144687
And if a portal opens, just go thru. What's the worst that can happen?

>>47144716
According to what happened for them, if nobody comes looking for me I'll just go home with nothing happening. I need an autistic college girl to look for me before I end up in Okina's backyard.

Also, Google maps images has a few things I'll post. 4 images stand out.

>>47144744
Terrible job of translation with Google lens.
Two more pictures left to post.

>>47144744
>I need an autistic college girl to look for me
Don't we all?

>>47144748
Who went to Jizou hospital?

>>47144758
Final one.
Does this count as Jizou?

>>47144749
My man.

>>47144758
>>47144765
It seems they are preparing for Renko's arrival.

>>47144772
If the flow of time is relative and all that, then yeah they are preparing for her.
>>"Maribel, where are y-THEY JUMPIN' ME!"

Anything interesting with the recent hifuu album?

>>47144891
Now that's some real reversed causality right here.

>>47144908
All of this
>>47144503
>>47144659
>>47144716
>>47144744
Etc.

Also, nothing is real except when it is because it is but it's not but it is because belief and psuedo quantum topics.

The music is really good, too.
Tinkerbell of Inequality gets a pass because it's the sound of the tracks from the train Renko is on, but it's on thin ice. The rest are great.

>>47144940
I don't get it, Renko got lost in the woods?

>>47144940
>psuedo quantum topics.
I thought it was fun because it was at least the third time ZUN has used a sound related metaphor for supernatural stuff.

>>47144908
It depends of what you are looking for.
Honesly, it's the most unique one so far. Marbile and Renko start off separated, Renko has a fit of autism so great that is causes a rift to open in the fabric of reality, Renko has an actual theory about magic that relates to actual physics, and she gets to go to an other world finally.

>>47144952
Merry found an old book from (totallynotYukari) a stranger that shows a magic hidden world, uses Renko's latest paper as proof and disappears for two weeks. Renko goes looking for her, breaks in the apartment and finds the book and her paper with all the writings on it, but is too blinded by Merry's autism to see it's supportive marks, has her own autism and jumps on a train to find her, finds the Hill, autisticly kicks a sacred statue to break a taboo and then rams her hand in its ban l back to pull Merry of of Okina's backyard. Only about 10 minutes passed for the berry but two (more, lol) weeks pass for the Raging RenkoTM. They then talk about how nothing would've happened to the MerryBerry if the K-O Renko hadn't went looking for her. Renko goes "Hey, wtf, why are you dissing my paper?" The blueberry tells her "are you autistic? I was supporting your work." They both go "Oh shit, it's all real but somehow fake but real but, ad nausem. Okina is probably sitting there the whole time with Yukari trying to figure out hour to get these damn kids off her lawn, and Narumi has a broken leg.

The end.

The music is bangin', too.

>>47144956
Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed the music, story, and the quantum stuff being the same as magic. I'm a sucker for that stuff. But thanks to Zuns autism and the way things get lost in translation, it ends up falling into the "pseudo" category. Which is good, because that means it'll fall off and connect to Gensokyo eventually and I can repeat the process in the future. I mean....

What do you think will happen in the next CD?
This latest one was pretty much a self-contained story but I somehow feel like the next one will continue from where this one left off.
I guess we'll find out eight years from now.

>>47144962
Another fun thing: I think this is the first time Renko calls Maribel by her full name

>>47145552
Yeah, cause she was pissed. Like a fed up parent with an adhd child.

>>47145535
I really wish we'd get continuation a bit sooner. It would make sense for this story arc to continue. I recently read all of the Hifuu materials and I actually really enjoyed it.

>>47145742
Honestly, I do have hope for this. TJD was, in my opinion, the best thing ZUN has made in a while.
There is also this:
TGA - 30/4/2012
NToJ- 11/8/2012
DLFR- 8/5/2016
DBOA- 13/8/2016
So maybe we'll get another one later this year.

>>47144985
That's our renko

>>47145535
I just hope we get more unhinged Renko, she's so cute when she's a maniac

>>47091051
>>47079797
>>47079555
"EIKI SHIKI YAMAXANADU! I'M COMING TO KILL YOU! IN HIGAN, AT YOUR HOUSE!"

Autism attracts people to each other in strange ways

>>47081479
Had a dream with Renko in it. It was really weird.

>>47077809
Why can't sumireko be like this?

>>47154612
What kind of dream

There was a merchant in Gensokyo who sent his servant to market to buy provisions and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling, and said, Master, just now when I was in the marketplace I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was Renko that jostled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture, now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Hakugyokurou and there Renko will not find me. The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the marketplace and he saw Renko standing in the crowd and he came to her and said, "Why did you make a threatening gesture to my servant when you saw him this morning?" "That was not a threatening gesture", she said, "it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in the village, for I have an appointment with him tonight."

In Hakugyokurou.

>>47155212
So I was on an empty train going back to collage and then suddenly I'm on a hill and me and her are sitting beneath a tree and talking about Aether theories, she was also talking about parallele worlds and black holes.
At some point the discussion moves to various religious cosmologies, she doesn't let me speak anymore. She says life is a dream, the world is seafoam and everything in the world is futile. After that she shows me a diagram that kind of looks like picrel then says something like "Now go find Maribel".
Then I woke up.

I don't know what the diagram represents. She told me but I forgot. Maybe it's some kind of buddhist diagram of the world or something, it kind of looks like a Taijitu but not really.
Another interesting part is that I know exactly where the place we were in is.

>>47157895
A diagram with linked nodes like that reminds me of the Tree of Life diagram from kabbalah, but it's not an exact match. Very interesting.

>>47158667
Now that you mention it, it does kind of look like that. And in kabbalah there is also the idea of there being multiple worlds.

>>47157895
Maybe the diagram has something to do with physics

>>47157895
This sort of looks like a bunch of Penrose diagrams stacked one on top of the other.

>>47161836
Guess what else is among Roger Penrose's work?

>Penrose argues that human consciousness is non-algorithmic, and thus is not capable of being modeled by a conventional Turing machine, which includes a digital computer. Penrose hypothesizes that quantum mechanics plays an essential role in the understanding of human consciousness. The collapse of the quantum wavefunction is seen as playing an important role in brain function.

So I guess she was trying to teach me physics. How nice of her!

Renko is just built different

Man, I hope you are right. I can't wait for another 4-8 years for the next story.

It's funny

It'll be funny when in two or three months /jp/ has Renko fever again

implying the current one will end

She could sense space-time warping beneath Mount Fuji without being able to look at the real moon and stars so I like to think her ability is more something like being able to sense space and time and that knowing them by looking at the moon and stars is just the way it manifests most clearly.

I want to read the CDs. Is there anything I should know about Maribel and Renko before doing so?

>>47170785
Their abilities are not really explained, Renko knows where she is by looking at the moon and knows the time by looking at the stars and Maribel can see boundaries and gaps. Also, don't overlook any detail in the story, a lot of the worldbuilding is done with what seems like throw away lines and also it's best to read them in order. I think that's it.

Which one of them is taller? I've seen conflicting information.

>>47171668
I don't think there's a canon answer to this, but just statistically speaking it's likely that Maribel would be taller. On the other hand, Renko has taller energy, and that's what really counts.

>>47171668
If you rotate the cover of Dateless Bar "Old Adam", Maribel appears to be taller, but they are sitting down, it could be that Renko has longer feet.

I haven't noticed until now that they have the tree of knowledge behind them lol.

>>47171668
you know what they say about european girls...

How are there two different versions of the same picture and when they are posted they get the same trips?

>>47172636
Renko looks cute with that hair band

>>47082732
She looks very merry

merryberry's merryberries are so powerful they warp reality

>>47172777
Maybe Renko is jealous of more than just Marty's ability.
