Remember when Gensokyo used to be described as a paradise where humans and youkai co-exist in harmony? Good times.

Yukari is big and scary and unknowable and she may or may not have paid us to tell you she's big, scary, and unknowable.

Both are true.

It also sells more books if she says Yukari's big, scary, and unknowable. So really, everybody wins. Except the ones that aren't Yukari and Hieda, I guess.

And she didn't show up in her casual wear. This feels like the moment where poo poo starts going down.

New Strange Creators Magazine. Along with the usual stuff (character profiles, interviews, etc), comes with an announcement for a new print work coming March 30, probably along the lines of Bohemian Archive? Haven't actually read the whole thing yet, maybe it's described better.





In his comment for Yuuka, ZUN says he considers the other "characters from the past" retired and "watching over things warmly". Mima disconfirmed?!

Looking more closely, I think Alternative Facts is actually supposed to be a weekly magazine? He was inspired by gossip rags that talk about celebrities, and thought it was bizarre how fictional characters get more privacy than real people. So he's going to examine the daily lives of characters who don't show up very often.

Unless I'm reading this horribly wrong.

That's implied, yes. He describes its contents as "Post-Truth".

I'm not sure if "weekly magazine" is supposed to be a description of its publication or just a kind of magazine like "tabloid" though.

"Make Gensokyo Great Again" was basically Kanako's plan, as part of her attempts to get more power and worship for herself, right? Like, more or less?

Then again I guess it's Yukari who's responsible for the wallbarrier.

Kanako and Suwako would've literally died if they didn't grab faith because modern Japanese aren't spiritual enough for Zun's taste, whatever the hell that means.

Considering last issue I see why Yuuka is brought up, it's probably going through the next three games after IN. So he's probably just referring to the PC98 ones and not like, just about anyone who's not recently shown up, I presume (and hope). No idea if that classification includes Yuuka and, for that matter, Alice really.

Still, unfortunate if it really spells an end to the more interesting and prominent figures from those games. The Dimensional Dream people are particularly interesting to me regarding recent ongoings with people coming to and from the boundary.

...I guess I didn't provide enough context for this. Yes, he's only talking about PC-98. He said in his comments for Yuuka (as a character from PoFV) that he introduced her because even though she doesn't fit into the setting at all, back then he was still interested in bringing back older characters, ie: PC-98. But now he considers them retired.

ah

didn't Yuuka not even originally have anything to do with flowers, she was some jerk with laser beams

and then on top of that the eye color, wearing of pants, and a lot of the voice was changed somewhat

she might be a matter of like, she's only around because her outfit is well suited to a summery gardener figure and if she wasn't wearing plaid we'd have never heard from her again
