don't quote me fully on this because this just may be my brain being dumb, but i recall in a interview zun saying something about touhou working on suzunan time or something when asked this question, meaning basically akyuu's probably gonna be considered to be in her early 20s at most for the entirety of the series and the subject will never come up as a result.

I had read that & is why I figured Akyuu was ten forever. I had never checked the ages of any subsequent appearances so seeing her aged up at all surprised me. Picturing literally a child participating in a symposium of the world's leaders was also a great mental image so I never second guessed it

But passively aging her to the rest(ish) of the cast then freezing the age makes more sense

He also specifically said that he was not going to write Akyu dying at 30.

and that's probably for the best :v:

I wish Ten Desires had DDC's gimmick because i was (/still am) bad at shmups even when they're for babies and I wish I had more resources and it takes one million years to get what stuff in TD

That panel of Kasen in the rain owns and it's fantastic that Reimu just spams Fantasy Seal until it works. Reimu's the best :allears:
The interview at the end is nice, too. Thank you for translating as always.

e: My favorite thing from the interview is Zun's love of knocking other characters, like Mamizou, down a peg. His comments on Reimu & Kasen's relationship in particular are interesting

Was hoping we wouldn't get a return to the status quo but it was also expected, so.

I believe in fighting games bringing us oni kasen and true oni kasen as characters

shrine maiden main character -> maiden -> maid main character

dumb but I wouldn't rule it out, then it spirals from there with Sakuya thrown in hte mix from when EOSD ruled the roost.

I'm aware. I just didn't think it really mattered too much to most people, and trust me when I say I wanted to get as few retakes as I possibly could.

I like it, it gives a bit of extra character to each, uh, character.

Also while everyone is praising Miko, Kanako is also really top notch too.

Bosses. Or fakes? You decide.




Whoever this girl is, I think she may have the best artwork zun's ever done?

Like the feet, fingers, hands and posing all look pretty good and the design itself is nice as always.

The Gouyaku Alliance is led by someone named Toutestu (also known as Taotie, for you mythology buffs), who doesn't show up in the game but gets talked about by Saki in the Extra stage. Toutestu is apparently a selfish bastard whose underlings suffer for it. The Gouyaku Alliance is defined by arrogance and looking down on people so it checks out.

The last of the major Yakuza Families is unnamed and has no presence in the game, but they're defined by subterfuge: traps, poisons, and camouflage.

Anyway, Yachie convinces three of the families to work together to take down Keiki, who's not a Yakuza but is muscling in on their territory and stealing their resources (ie: protecting people from them; Yachie specifically says that all people are resources to her). After Keiki is out of the picture, Saki immediately starts her own war and that's the Extra Stage.

There's also some other stuff regarding who Keiki is exactly and why she's doing what she's doing.

Since all the mangas are ending I have to assume one thing:

The next manga series will be Gang Land featuring the other 2 factions
