I wish someone would translate the chapter with Suika. I want to know what she has against the Myouren Temple...

>For starter, chapter 7 of WaHH is just recently translated.

Dude, chapter 9 is already translated, lol

Wasn't Symposium of Post-mysticism delayed until March?

Someone already translated ch8 and 9, actually.

Also,
>black white confirmed for nonhuman status.jpg.tff.exe

Did anyone pick up OSP for translation? Hong quit a while ago and I don't think there was anyone else working on this series.

konoyaro ! bakayaro! ore sama ga teme wo bukorosu da! byueng shin ga teun jwup seh sheki ya. han gook mal ha dun gah wei happuri myun ill bon mal E nya? bieng shien ah kkk.

chapters 7-9 translated?
hopy shit

Really enjoying WaHH so far, it probably helps that I really like Kasen as a character though.

>>8600113
Sadly so.

Sorry to ask for information I could probably find elsewhere, but was anyone here in the ZUN stream yesterday? Did he make any announcements?

>>8600136
I like her relationship with the main characters. She is also hilarious, although everyone is in this. It makes a good complement to the fairies manga, as that's more concrete and subdued most of the time.

>>8600100
At last, someone noticed.

Also, why would Kasen hide from Suika?

>>8600230
The artstyle certainly has a great amount of charm to it.

>>8600237
Probably just another hint that Kasen is actually an oni and doesn't want to get recognized and exposed by her peer.

The more I read Wild and Horned Hermit the more I lust after Kasen.

>>8600508
it's a problem

>>8600490
Yeah the thing with Suika made it all but certain now.

If she got exposed, her plan would come apart, since it relies on manipulating Reimu with her hermit cred, but I think she's also very afraid of ruining their relationship. Personally I don't think Reimu would be that put off by it. She'd just have to shoot her with bullets, on principle, and then everything would be cool again.

>>8600516
Kasen seems to want peace between youkai and humans. At least that's how the talks she had with Reimu were in this chapter. She's probably being set up to be to cause an incident

>>8600610
I need to reread the other chapters to try to figure out what she's doing. Her conversations with Komachi were impenetrable to me. She may want general peace, I'm not sure why. But that dialog in 9 was I think more about her trying to convince Reimu that not all youkai were bad, because of her secret identity.

>>8600840
WaHH is probably just a big metaphor about homosexuality with Reimu playing the conservative.

>Oni were constantly tricked and killed by humans in the past.
>Oni seem to be traumatized by this, enough to cause them to throw away a great deal of their pride in order to flee underground and stay there for hundreds of years.
>Oni don't trust humans anymore, and Suika is the only one that even bothers to hope that the past relationship between the Oni and humans can be restored.
>Kasen essentially is Ibaraki Douji, an Oni.
>Kasen is constantly saying that she wants to cut all ties between the underground and the world above.

Gee, I wonder why she could be saying that.

And the purpose of her hermit facade should be obvious: she's too scared to interact with humans unless they don't know she's a youkai.

Think about it. Oni don't lie. Suika is the only one we know of who would lie even a little (and she rarely does). And here we have Kasen, who has completely thrown away her honor as an Oni, so much so that she constantly lies about who and what she is, and what she thinks about a wide variety of things. And her only real goal is to cut ties between the world above and the world below.

She's given up everything in order to try and protect her friends.

>>8600862
''not revealing'' is different from ''lying''.

She's only being really cautious, eg: when she was having one of those dramatic spiritual moments and was about to say ''after all, I'm a...'' which caused Reimu to lift an eyebrow and Kasen said it was nothing.

>>8600862
That only makes me want to hug and hold and lust after Kasen more. Just being timid and wanting peace like that seems very cute.

>>8600862
>Kasen is constantly saying

Didn't she say that, like, once

Certainly not constantly at any rate!

>>8600862

You are forgetting the fact that Oni were also humans greatest enemies and most dangerous youkai overall.

>>8600882
"I'm a hermit" is a gigantic lie. Not only that, but she's already shown that when she preaches to people, she's either just trying to look like a hermit, or trying to secure peace/get people to stay away from the underground. She's incredibly transparent about it too. Oni just don't make good liars.

>>8600891
She's not timid. Overcome by past trauma, perhaps, but she's not timid at all. Did you even read the chapters were she dealt with Komachi and those spirits?

>>8600896
True. However, doesn't her motive for peacekeeping look transparent to anyone else? For example, in the latest chapter she wants to keep humans from continuing their tradition of youkai extermination just so that, if the humans and Oni were to come into contact again (which has already started happening), the humans won't brutally kill her friends like they used to.

She doesn't seem to realize that this tradition continues only in name though. But then again, Reimu does a good job of acting like she's really exterminating youkai.

>>8600862
>Oni were constantly tricked and killed by humans in the past.
>Oni seem to be traumatized by this, enough to cause them to throw away a great deal of their pride in order to flee underground and stay there for hundreds of years.

What crap are you taking out of your ass?

Oni were enemies of the humans because oni used to ''play'' with them and kill them, this angered humans and repelled them into the underground, they made a decree that prohibited oni from leaving the underground. Over time, only the tradition stayed, and eventually Suika escaped to become friends with a human, Reimu.

That thing about Kasen wanting to restore peace does seem about right though.

>>8600929

Oni were never prohibited from leaving the underground. Suika is always making sure everyone knows she's an Oni, and just walks around up there plain as day. Why is she able to do that?

And I know very well that Oni were great enemies of humans and extremely dangerous in the past. However, that doesn't mean they enjoyed being tricked and killed when they valued honor and honesty above all else. Obviously, they wouldn't be able to trust humans any longer. And you know, as far as canon texts go, it's always talking about Oni kidnapping humans, not necessarily killing them.

On the contrary, I seem to recall something in PMiSS saying that a human kidnapped by an Oni should be wary of being accidentally killed because the Oni are simply too strong for their own good. It doesn't seem to be saying that they're in danger of being killed intentionally.

Did anything ever come of the training Reimu got from the hermit?

>>8600952
She became enthusiastic about doing stuff for a while, and then reverted back to her old self almost immediately. In short, pretty much nothing.

>youkai extermination mode

Oh wow, I was right.

http://archive.foolz.us/jp/thread/6663800/#6663826

>>8600960
status quo is law

>>8600942
The thing is, oni killed humans, humans kind of didn't like getting killed so they repelled the oni to the underground, it's the oni's own fault.

>>8600960
That Reimu was too non-Reimu, she acted like the stereotype magical girl heroine, even Marisa and Sanae got weirded out by her act.

That same chapter showed how Reimu is too pure to be changed so Kasen didn't try anymore.

http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Perfect_Memento_in_Strict_Sense/Oni

>Just as few humans were trying to exterminate them, they were none too pleased with the way in which the world of Gensokyo had become so carefree, and they simply went to a different world.

This art looks as bad as ZUNs but at least he wrote it so it's not in fanfic proportions of bad

>>8600963
Blast from the past.

>>8600976
Yes, that's how the humans saw things. However, the Oni probably saw things from a completely different perspective.

I doubt they saw things in black and white morality like that, for one thing. Most youkai don't seem to see things in black and white, like humans do.

After all, humans naturally work under the premise of "killing is bad" but youkai are just looking for tasty food and want to be feared (all youkai naturally want to be feared to some extent, after all. for example, just look at Nue's dialogue in TH12, where she states that "it can't be helped" that she scared humans because that's what youkai do).

>>8600963
Yeah. She even says later something like, "I only beat the ones who are in my way". The rest of the time she might give youkai some attitude but rarely lays a hand on them. Well ok she kicks fairies around a lot but they're always pranking her.

>>8600983
That sentence looks poorly translated to me. It shouldn't be possible for there to only be a "few" humans trying to exterminate the Oni, who supposedly posed such an enormous threat.

And in what way did it become carefree? I asked about this once on another forum, but I never could get a good answer. Nobody seems to understand it.

>>8600987
Aya's never-the-same art is a miracle of the universe.

>>8601005

It became carefree because this whole eternal youkai vs humans thing became just a game.

Youkai no longer kill people from Gensokyo, and humans no longer exorcise youkai for real.

>>8600997
>However, the Oni probably saw things from a completely different perspective.

Does it matter, really? Are you trying to defend them somehow? Because in both human-thinking and Shiki's (i.e: the one who's opinion of morality is above all) thinking, killing is bad regardless of intention.

Not like the Oni could just stop ''playing'' with the humans if they just ended up killing them all the time, eh?

>>8600891
Don't lust after Kasen!

>>8601005
The original text says: 自分を退治に来る人間も少ない様な、のんびりとした幻想郷の世界が気に入
らず

自分を退治に来る人間も少ない = few humans coming to exterminate them

のんびりとした幻想郷 = easygoing/relaxed/tranquil Gensokyo

So the translation is fairly accurate. I think the original is trying to say that the oni preferred the former state of oni/human conflict and didn't like the new, peaceful Gensokyo.

>>8601048
sometimes urges cannot be controlled and I know mine cannot

>>8601052
It's pretty terrible wording. Something like this makes much more sense:

Displeased with a carefree world like Gensokyo where few humans would challenge them, the Oni left for another world in some unknown location. Since then, there has been no contact with them.

>>8601025
Read up on the history of Gensokyo please... It's only been 126 years since the place was sealed off by the Hakurei Barrier. Before that point, there was no need for the spell card rules. On the other hand, the Oni have been gone from the world above ground for hundreds of years. Nobody even remembers how to exterminate them anymore.

>>8601030
You're going to have to revise that a bit, because it's simply ridiculous.

If you want to quote the Yama, remember that she's also always saying that everyone has their own role in life and that it is a sin not to act according to that role.

And now you are saying that, according to the Yama, it is a sin whether they act according to it or not, because if they don't they're breaking the above rule and if they do they're breaking the one you just stated. Something's got to give here. That's why I'm quite certain you just made that up. If the Yama said that to someone, she either said it to someone who wasn't a youkai, or she had adjusted her definition of the "role of youkai" to account for the fact that youkai in Gensokyo don't actively eat humans.

However, before Gensokyo was created as a place for them to escape to, they definitely did. Why does nobody understand that, for youkai, it's in their very being to be the enemies of humans? It's what they're known for, it's why humans write legends about them in the first place. Youkai are youkai because they attack humans, and humans naturally taste great to them.

"Nothing to do as usual..."

"Isn't it good to have nothing to do?"

"Better than not having time to do anything".

It hit me like a brick.


And well, Kasen is too much of a nagging moralfag as always. I still like her kind and "healthy" nature.


Also, I wonder if Zun planned from the start for Reimu to be a lazy and greedy shrine maiden as depicted in the official works or it was that he slowly started to accept fanon elements into the canon manga.

What's the easiest way to get physical copies? I know doujinshi usually isn't reprinted.

>>8601230
But she's been like that from the very beginning of CoLA. If anything, most of the "fanon" you speak of was based on it in the first place.

>>8601192
>humans naturally taste great to them

Akyuu's anti-youkai propaganda.

>>8601192
New guy. PMiSS says in that very sentence that as of hundreds of years ago, the numbers of Oni gradually decreased, and when the Hakurei Border was formed they just all decided to leave. Simply put, Oni would challenge humans to contests because it was fun. Naturally though, the Oni would win all the time. As the victor, they would kidnap the humans, and probably eat or otherwise kill them. Obviously, since the humans had no other way of defeating the Oni, they resorted to underhanded tactics to win, and often in the same way tricked Oni into situations where they could be exterminated. While this evened out the playing field somewhat and could have led to a better relationship between the two, the Oni hated lying and scheming and so left the world where they couldn't have any more fun. By the time the Border was created (probably not explicitly because the Border was created), they were mostly gone, and the Tengu took over the mountain.

Oni were pretty damn vicious though; it's pretty terrible that all of them would leave basically because they couldn't do whatever they wanted anymore. In the first place, they would start challenges that were near-impossible for them to lose and were butthurt when the playing field was evened. Suika, being one of the only Oni to not give a damn about outright killing humans, thinks that Oni and humans could reconcile if both sides stop being faggots to each other. What with the current spell card rules, it's probably more likely than ever before.

>>8601314
Wait, did you just call WaHH a doujinshi?

>>8601358
>Oni were pretty damn vicious though

No shit?

They are devils. They still torture people for yamas.

>>8601376

I had no idea it was published by an actual company, I don't know much about touhou manga, I've never delved into it, but if I'm going to start I'd foremost like to have physical copies preferably.

>>8601230
She's always been kind of a crappy miko except for her skill at youkai busting. I don't remember the donations/faith/money thing coming up much until later but it's a natural elaboration of that. The Moriya shrine appearing is probably a big part of it. WaHH really plays it up to almost fanon levels but in the end she just wants a successful shrine, same as before.

I like the 3 fairies manga the most, which is no surprise considering I commissioned its translation. UMAD has been silent for almost 2 months now though, I might change groups if they keep this up.

>>8601398
She defiantly isn't a crappy miko as she does her duties everyday.
Shes just lazy and doesn't want to be bothered except when it comes to her job. Marisa and friends also keep her busy.

I've really enjoyed the development of the relationship between Marisa and the light fairies. Even Reimu seems more accepting of them.

>>8601422
Where is the best place to find people who want commissions done? I already do translation, but I've been needing some extra spending money lately.

>>8601422
Isn't UMAD pretty much dead with Hong gone?

>>8601358
Wow. I've read the article at least two times in the past, and apparently the detail that "the Oni didn't actually disappear altogether until Gensokyo was sealed off" never really hit me. I guess I'm just an idiot, thanks.

Also I really doubt the Oni would be so quick to kill a human if they were honest. They may be vicious to those who they see as enemies, but if they perceive someone as a friend, then you could be absolutely certain they would never betray you. Oni really do make great friends, because they adhere so strongly to their code of honor, and yet they're still very easy-going (aside from their pride and the way they stick to traditions).

The contests may be unfair, but nobody would challenge someone to a contest that they had a good chance of losing, because that would be stupid. And when I take into account the above, I think that it would have all turned out much better if the humans just didn't act so dishonest. Everyone could have been bros, and drink sake together, etc.

>>8601500
Well, that was a lazy way to say it. Rather, she's always been a chronically unsuccessful miko with a casual attitude and low effort. Later that turned into get-faith-quick schemes.

>>8601550
Hong wasn't the translator if that's what you think.

>>8601542
I'll start a commissioning website with you, dude.

>>8601639
Sure. Do you ever go on Rizon? If so what channel?

>>8601550

Wait Hong is gone? What happened?

>>8601693
He's taking an extended break for an unspecified amount of time. Made a goodbye thread and everything.

>>8601314
>>8601396
I get mine from Kinokuniya

>>8601700

Oh.. fuck that sucks big time, I still own him some money over the last chapter and he didn't even bother contacting me.

Considering now that OSP translation is halted and I can't rely on UMAD anymore I ask to you /jp/, what scanlation group would you like to see this from? I'm still willing to continue with my commissions.

Why is Kasen such a judgmental bitch if all she does is lie?

>>8601895
She probably doesn't realize it herself. Kinda like people with massive egos.

>>8601893
desudesu? I'm fine with wathever as long as it's not CGRascal.

>>8601692
Well, I didn't expect you to say yes.
I am not yet ready in my life to commit to such a goal.
We will keep in touch, anonymous, perhaps next year I will be ready..

Just if anyone's interested, WaHH volume 2 now has a release date.

>>8602879
I hope this one has a music CD.

>>8602870
Ok, that was far too much of a tease. By next year I'll have a steady job doing translation and I'll be working on an apprenticeship as a millwright or a machinist. So it's now or never. I'm getting to the point where doing fansubs and scanlations for nothing is just too painful.

>>8602879
So does OSP 3, while we're at it.

http://shop.melonbooks.co.jp/shop/list/AF/比良坂真琴

>>8602944
Doesn't look likely judging by the price. I agree though, that it would be lovely if she had an official theme.

>>8602982
>it would be lovely if she had an official theme

Maybe she'll get one on the OSP CD. She recently showed up there, after all.

>>8602982
Apparently she was considered for the TD extra boss. Too bad, but thank god she skipped that one.

>>8602992
Rather than taking a place of a new Touhou in the main series' games, she needs one of her own, like the fairies. I, for one, would never trade Mami for this.

>>8603000
Oh I'm glad we got Mamizou too. It seems a little premature for Kasen as a boss anyway. Like shouldn't she be exposed first?

A lot of youkai seem to like impersonating Marisa from the looks of WaHH. For some reason the fox is still doing it despite being tied up.

Do they think she's pretty? I find it weird how the fox changed to Sanae for a bit, but when resuming private talk with Reimu switched back to Marisa.

Do they feel similar to her since she has a reputation as a trickster, thief, and liar?

Or maybe they just like being the intimidating Shrine Maiden's best friend? Makes me think of those NTR situations where a guy impersonates the boyfriend of a girl.

>>8603092
>For some reason the fox is still doing it despite being tied up.

This is particularly silly because just changing to her much smaller animal form would untie her in the process.

>>8603092
Probably the last 2. It's easy to pretend to be her because it's not far from their own personality. And the 2 we saw were pranking on Reimu.

Real answer, ZUN just loves Marisa.

>>8603106
magical binding ropes

>>8603106
>>8603126
Thinking about it, that fox overheard Reimu going on about exterminating on sight. Why the heck did she meet Reimu again in the same Marisa disguise she was using before?

Thinking about it, could Reimu have found the fox while it was going about its business away from the shrine and captured her while she was walking about in Marisa form?

Would this mean the fox disguises as Marisa not only when talking with Reimu, but also on her regular schedule as well?

Could all the Marisas we have ever seen be youkai who only pretend to be Marisa?

>>8603172
there was the tanuki too

>>8603172
More like the fox was trying to disguise herself as Marisa when she realized Reimu is after her.

>>8601422
Apologies, Yukito-san. I haven't spoken with Hong in all that time either and, sadly, I have no editing experience whatsoever.

If it's any consolation, I've actually finished translating two of the three untranslated chapters, they just... haven't been edited/released.

>>8601550
Sadly, yes. I've got a small stockpile of chapters/doujins I've finished translating that Hong just hasn't actually edited/released yet. That and I don't have any access to UMAD's website. Hong pretty much handled all of that. I just translated.

>>8601700
...I must have missed this. I remember hearing something about it, but he never contacted me about it. Last I heard he was busy with IRL stuff and the things I had translated were on the backburner. Hrm. What to do now, then?

Anyone have any editing experience they'd like to toss my way?

>>8603172
What if everyone you ever knew was secretly a fox, badger, otter, raccoon dog or some other shapeshifting beast and you were the only human out there, the only one not in on the joke? What if you're living in a Truman Show directed by some filthy beast?

Damn it did I really need a new paranoia

>>8603310
Oh hello!

What exactly is translated but not edited? If there's any non-H Touhou stuff, especially the official works, Voile would certainly be interested in those.

Also Meiling's farewell thread: http://archive.foolz.us/jp/thread/8354940/

I'll get chapters 14 and 15 done. I should finish what I started. Please wait warmly as I get my act together.

>>8603325
A quick check shows those two OSP chapters and... wait, where'd that Kaguya doujin I translated go? Ugh. It was a nice little doujin about Kaguya becoming the maid at the SDM. Where'd I put my translation for that? Hrm... Anyway, the majority of it is Baki chapters.

Personally, I enjoyed working on the non-H stuff a bit more than the H stuff a lot of the time. Harder to translate, but less tedious (especially since Hong liked having the sound effects translated and anyone that's ever read an H doujin can imagine how repetitive that can get). If I could get an editor to give me work to do, I'd probably be a little more productive. I have a hard time getting myself to do... well, anything, unless someone else is expecting it. Hong was definitely the driving force behind that, until... well, he wasn't.

...Oh, and here's my Master Mima's Daydreams translation that's no long necessary. Funny. I had the translation done for this one weeks before the other was released. Sigh.

>>8603369
If it helps at all, here are my translations for those two chapters. I never really cared about getting paid for stuff like this (no offense Yukito-san) , so as long as I'm credited for the translation, I could really care less how these are used.

http://www.mediafire.com/?smk925kg34icnyv
http://www.mediafire.com/?ecpi7zjwcy6eetk

>>8603295
But Reimu knows she used a Marisa disguise before, there's no way anybody could possibly think it would be a good idea to use the same disguise twice.

And I don't think Reimu would go the "It's not like she would use the same disguise twice" train of thought since she doesn't overthink things. She exterminates.

>>8603424
It's not like you have a lot of time to think everything through when there's an angry miko charging right at you.

>>8603429
But Reimu didn't go chasing after her immediately, in fact the fox was making her escape in fox form while Reimu is still talking with Kasen and Marisa and it's next chapter we see her captured in Marisa form. She would've had some time to think up a proper plan.

>>8603405
Thanks for posting the OSP translations, very nice of you. Dunno which Kaguya work that would be.

I don't know what to do about the Baki stuff. Maybe /a/ (optimistic optimistic) would have a better idea, if you want to pass them on to someone else.

Kind of a shame about that Mima work as well. Though at the same time I'm glad it got translated earlier. Poor girl gets no love.

>>8603471
Darn. I was hoping maybe the description would help me with a title. Would make it easier to find where it is I put that file. Maybe it's on my flash drive... I hope I didn't lose it.

I swear, that Baki series is a curse. When we first started it, Hong mentioned that every group that started it before subsequently fell apart. A pity that seems to have happened this time as well. I need to find someone else to edit it for me, because I'd love to keep working on the series.

>>8603405
>>8603471

Can anyone give me a link to this "Master Mima's Daydreams" doujin? A quick look on danbooru and touhouwiki.net aren't giving me anything, nor is google really... Though maybe I should have looked harder.

>>8603498
Probably because that was my translation of the title. desudesu gave it a different one. Just a warning that it IS an H doujin by the way.

http://www.mediafire.com/?klr76vav9fu37uq

>>8603498
That Tsuki Wani book. desudesu ended up translating it. Also you could've pretty easily found it on ExHentai. Mima works are terribly rare.

http://www.mediafire.com/?bdukt11pbm2erbr

>>8603486
Someone here, or one of the other Touhou communities would probably know.

H doujin... That makes me sad.

But it's one of the rare Mima doujins, so I'll read it anyway.

>>8601893
You could try Troika. He's cheaper than most other groups for now.

>>8603911
Aha. That's it indeed. Thank you very much. Now if I could just find where I put that translation file...

>>8603911
Huh, is that doujin good?

Used to watch him on niconama drawing it.

When will be the next Reitaisai?

>>8604125
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Reitaisai

>>8604125
May 27th.

>>8604084
It wasn't bad. I enjoyed it while I was translating it. I was a little worried at first considering I'm not too keen on the thought of anyone in Gensokyo dying, but they do a pretty good job of trivializing Sakuya's death and moving on with it. It is a comedy doujin after all.

>>8604204
If you find the translation you could try just giving the translation to voile. I imagine that there are more editors than translators on there.

For H work you could try posting stuff on the touhou NSFW imageboard. Again, more likely to find an editor.

>>8601230
She's not greedy by any means, she only wants her shrine to be succesful and has an otherwordly desire to do her duties despite there being nobody there to tell her to.

>>8604251
>NSFW stuff
No not there that place is basically dead. Ask on THP's /at/ board, he already knows where it is.

And yeah as said before, Voile for non-H stuff. They'll be interested definitely.

>>8604257
I like to think that Yukari did something to the Hakurei bloodline so that such traits are simply in Reimu's blood, and so they all perform the duties of being Yukari's janitors regardless.

>>8604257
Reimu's desire to perform her duties is certainly pure and unopportunistic.

So I just got done reading WaHH 9. It's pretty much officially confirmed that Kasen's an oni by now, huh? She seems to know Suika rather well, was implied she she may not be human, the manga is called Wild and HORNED Hermit, what else do we need?

I bet ZUN was considering revealing her oni nature in TD's extra, but later changed his mind. Probably because he/someone wanted WaHH to keep going for a while.

Anyway, I'm really loving this. The story's interesting, the art is cute, it's taking it easy, can't wait for more. Chapter 10 is already published, isn't it?

>he/someone wanted WaHH to keep going for a while

If it's going to keep up the quality of recent chapters, I, for one, and I think I speak for many people here, would want it to keep going indefinitely.

>Chapter 10 is already published, isn't it?

Yes.

Does anyone else love how stylish Marisa is in WaHH? I fucking love that tiny hat!

>>8604454
i hate that tiny hat

>>8604454
Not me. That tiny hat wasn't nearly half as good as her usual hat. Her winter dress looks adorable, though.

>>8601357
>But she's been like that from the very beginning of CoLA. If anything, most of the "fanon" you speak of was based on it in the first place.

Not quite, fanon ignores Reimu's whole duty-based actions and just goes for ''she wants lots of money to get stuff''. CoLA itself shows how Reimu does not have a proper desire or even knowledge of the monetary values for luxurious uses, according to Kourin.

Fanon mostly does Reimu either doing extorsion or doing actions in exchange of money, the whole food poverty thing also branches from that, none of which the true Reimu does. She says that she does not get any reward for solving incidents so she pretty much gave up and started befriending those whom she's tasked to brutalize and even gives them her own food, i.e: her parties, most relative example being this manga's CH.8.

Akyuu says that Reimu and all of her ancestors' job was to expand the shrine's grounds in order to be able to attract more followers, this is done by gathering donations, which is hard considering the above mentioned youkai-befriending (the reason that is mentioned to be the main one behind Reimu's lack of followers) and the fact that Reimu says that she finds shameful to go to the village and ask for donations in BAiJR.

>>8604454
She stole it from Koishi.

>>8604454
I love the tiny hat but only for one chapter. What I really like is how she looks when she shows up at the shrine. Goddamn I love Marisa.

>>8603092
It's pretty obvious that the kitsune and the tanuki were both trying to impersonate the shrine maiden's closest friend in order to be able to get close to her and devour her supplies, which is what happened, of course, they got found out by Reimu's intuition.

>Kidnapping
>Murder mystery

Marisa is so western, she'd want someone to be dead if it means that it will entertain her.

>>8604536
I bet you 10 bucks I lover her more than you do.

>>8604546
>>8604536
She's one of those Touhous that I kinda like but that I feel that they need a good spanking to calm down their egos.

>>8604536
Canon most stylish touhou

It would be nice if the kitsune impersonated marisa and the tanuki impersonated reimu and they ran into each other.
But my sense of humor is pretty bad

>>8604553
>spank to calm down their egos

That's how I feel about half of the cast.

>>8604546
Since when that is western?

I'd spank every twowho. Spank their pale soft skinned butts nice and red.

>>8604532
"Borrowed."

>>8604553
Personally, i feel all Touhous need a good spanking. But let's not turn it into that kind of thread.

>>8604559

>>8604579
good start. I suppose I got some searching to do

Holy shit, that fox Marisa is cute as fuck.

Does anyone else notice Kasen always had a large bust by official art standards?

>>8604579
I think her fan name is 狐理沙 but there's no art under that, and only a couple pics at all I could find.

>>8604605
i am ok with that

>>8604605
>>8604649

>>8604271
I was tempted to ask if that place was still alive. I suppose my suspicions were well-founded.

...In other news, I really need to get back to that topic I started on /at/ and pick through the things I said I'd translate already. I don't think I ever got around to doing any of them because of Hong's disappearance killing my motivation. I really did want to do Eromisu+3 too...

Look, Hong sent me a short IM and he seems interested in at least doing the next chapter or so, however if anyone else has serious interest in scanlating OSP or any other official Touhou material for that matter just either add me on Skype: cyan_4rmy or Steam http://steamcommunity.com/id/cyanleader

I haven't read the thread yet, only a few replies, so I'm just throwing this out here.

Is Kasen going to have a bio in symposium of list mysticism? Id love to see her threat level

>>8605273
It might not be the kind of thing to have threat levels. I wonder who is supposed to be writing it though.

>>8605303
Symposium is supposed to have an additional material for Gensokyo Chronicle, among others.

>>8600100
Mind sharing links for chapter 8 & 9?
Couldn't find it myself.

This one shouldn't have been hard to find at all... Where'd you look?

>>8604553
Wild girls being tamed is my fetish.

>>8605368
Oh, well then I'm looking forward to Akyuu's awful assessment of many of my favorite characters.

>>8605608
>>8605605
Thanks, for some reason I've checked all places but touhouwiki.

Kasen's threat level will probably be either low or unknown. I doubt that Akyuu will write that she is an Oni and give her Suika's threat level

>>8605633
Kasen's threat level is only high for sinners, anyway.

Made a shoddy attempt at scanlating OSP ch14.
http://www.mediafire.com/?82t272yn06q25dc

>>8605637
Threat level is general, i.e: how badly hurt you can get.

I've also noticed that Kasen is one of the few whom Reimu didn't have to sodomize before becoming her friend.

>>8605650
Why would Reimu need to sodomize her mom?

>>8605645
seems OK. thanks for the effort

>>8605650
She tends to only meet new people because she's out sodomizing them.

>>8605707
Yes, but because they ask for it (i.e: try to stop her from progressing).

Kasen's one of the few lucky souls who was wise enough not to anger the miko and instead get close to her enough until the trust has been attained, then acting as a mother to Reimu.

>>8605737
It's coming, though. Kasen's gonna get a serious raping once she gets found out.

I'm still not sure what to make of Marisa's danmaku being edible.

Kasen acts like a mother to Reimu while Kourin acts like a father to Marisa...

Boy it'd be nice if the real parents actually tried to have a hand in raising their kids.

>>8605758
>mangafox

>>8605776
Reimu's parents are probably dead.

Marisa's parents aren't though. The fuck, letting your little girl live in a magic forest.

>>8605784

I'm guessing marisa was kicked out for being a magician. I particularly like this interpretation of her unwritten backstory:

01_by_gaku-gaku-animal-land

>>8605817
I'm sorry but I can't help but roll my eyes at the abusive parent thing.

It all makes sense to me if her parents abandoned her. Whatever their reason was, I don't have any idea and don't particularly care, but that's my theory.

>>8605984
So... You think it makes sense if her parents abandoned her for no reason at all? Wow, just... wow.

>>8605817
I don't mind the idea that she got thrown out or ran away, except that her dad would get mad at her for using magic in fuckin Gensokyo circa 1998.

What was the one doujin where marisa's mother was a magician and her father did not approve.

>>8605989
No, I think it makes sense if there was a reason. I just don't have any hints to deduce what that reason could be. So no matter how much I think about it, I can't arrive at the answer. I can come up with theories, I guess, but that would just be the same as writing a fanfic. Which, I've actually been thinking about doing for a long time now.

>>8605999
No, you know, I'll take that back. It's easily possible that her family could have wanted her to be <whatever> and not devote her life to magic.

>>8605650
The key to befriending Reimu is the same for everyone: pester her long enough for her to accept you (or at least resign herself to the fact that you're not going away).

The only difference is that Kasen is posing as human, not giving Reimu the pretext to, as that one Anon put it, sodomize her in the meantime.

I'll be honest with you guys, I haven't even touched the printed works before. Where the hell do I start? Any of them I'm better off skipping?

>>8607557
Start with Silent Sinner in Blue

>>8607645

Are there any that flesh out Mokou and Kaguya's back story?

>>8607662
Cage in Lunatic Runagate does

>>8607557
Read everything.

>>8607557
Inaba of the moon, Inaba of the earth.

While drinking moderately.
Do it.

>>8607762
The end chapters won't make sense though if you haven't read SSiB

Wow suddenly I wish to see a huge influx of Reimu x fox lewd art.

I wonder if Kasen's horns are broken or something.

>>8608000
maybe they are really small and fit under those hair buns of her

>>8607762
I thought it wasn't written by ZUN.

>>8608000
>>8608012
In her case, the horn is just euphemism for penis.

>>8608032
That's a quality comment right there.

>>8608027
http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Inaba_of_the_Moon_and_Inaba_of_the_Earth

Well the sidebar lists ZUN as the writer. Obviously he's not the artist, to be fair I am fine with that. Arata's art is so cute.

>>8608083
ZUN only gave him basic directions. All the stuff you like about it is most probably Arata's work.

>>8608083
Inaba is my favorite 4koma, and I'm a guy who's favorite anime is Azumanga Daioh and bought the omnibus manga.

>>8607525
But Reimu befriends everyone she sodomizes.

Yours is more of the way of befriending her while skipping the whole sodomizing process. Kasen is just too much of a moralfag to be a free spirit like every other Touhou.

>>8609128
>Azumanga Daioh

But that's the only good anime, ever. You have the right to.
