Oh hello, I've been busy with work for the recent months. If you have any questions for me and didn't receive any response, this was why. I will probably remain busy for a while.

In Dec 21's Nikenme Radio stream, Okonogi mentioned publishing two issues of the Touhou magazine in the next year. It appears Touhou's publication schedule in 2016 will become:

Every 1 month: FS - Kosuzu
Every 2 months: WaHH - Kasen
Every 3 months: VFiS - Three Fairies of Light
Every 6 months: CoLA - Kourin

  • 古明地こいし is cute and beautiful!!
Three manga happening in the same time. This is too good I can't handle this.

Whoa, great to see them coming back!

The scedule IS curious, though. The better the publication, the rarer it will come out. Well, that's fine. Next few years are sure to be fun.

Hurray for new fairies! And oh, it's quarterly? I had trouble reading the text in the photo, so I'm glad you confirmed that. As amazing as Fairies + Kosuzu would've been every month, I'm pretty glad it's only every now and then. ZUN needs a life, after all. (And thank god it'll be in comp ace I won't have to buy yet another magazine hahaha...)

Great news, at least got a present for christmas :V
I laughed at "Gensokyo's Weakest Are Back". It is actually written there?

Well, i find FS to be better than WaHH.

Bummed as I am that my two favorite fairies seem to not be getting a main role,
Spoiler:
Daiyousei becoming full canon
is sure as hell going to make up for that.

If she's becoming canon, I think she needs a real name.

Poor Daiyousai's on an official character sheet and STILL doesn't have an official name  :D

Hey, what's wrong with Big Fairy?
There are characters called Sunny Milk or.... Solid Snake.

Well, all of her "data" is left blank, including the species which should be obvious.
What's the last field though? Cirno has quite the list there.

Probably works the character is included in.

Dai's sheet needs to be filled in, it seems.
Kilga is this right; like is this person seriously the player, and it's not some alias or something that's designed to be deliberately obfuscating? NekoNekoRex. Who the hell is that :C   ~Poya Aaaa (Serela), Bunny Must Die Mafia

They're character nicknames/character titles, along with what work each title is from. "Ice Fairy of the Lake", "Unnatural Chill" etc. for Cirno.

Poor Daiyousai's on an official character sheet and STILL doesn't have an official name  :D
Her parents were really uncreative.

A new Touhou manga it's fantastic news (although i still haven't got up to date with the other ones  :V)!
Dai-chan becoming canon and getting a bit of spotlight is even better!

*See Daiyousei's artwork in the character sheet*

......crap. "Shy-Daiyousei" is my personal headcanon.... if it becomes her official characterization i won't be held responsible for blatant fanboyism on my part  :D

Shy-Daiyousei, as far as I can infer from what little panel time she had, has been canon ever since her first (and only?) appearance in the original three fairies manga.  She was playing hide and go seek with Cirno and emphasized on the hiding part, and when Reimu (I think it was Reimu? Maybe Sakyua?) tried to talk to her, she was scared and flew away.

Why are people talking about Daiyousei becoming full canon? Is there something I'm missing?
Or are you actually believing that image is from Visionary Fairies in Shrine?

Sorry to crush your dreams but that's from an Unofficial Character Database in which Makoto Hirasaka collaborated with some portraits, along with other artists. It came out not so long ago (I believe) and has the information of characters from "the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil" to "Double Dealing Character".

I don't know how that image mixed with the announce of VFiS but I can assure you is non-canon/unsupervised by ZUN.

...Well, that's awful.

Got that art and info from /jp/  (who got it from a japanese imageboard in turn) and not a soul as much as implied that it is non-canon for a long while. Since it's blatantly Hirasaka art, I assumed it must actually be connected to VFiS. Sorry for involuntarily spreading misinformation.

Well, there goes my hype for VFiS.  :matsuriscowl:

Haven't yet read a lot of mangas personally, but I guess I'll read this one whenever I can, should be interesting.

Awww, too bad.
Well, it still focus on the fairies so it might be possible that Daiyousei is part of the story. Either way, it's still a welcome addition to the Touhouverse.

Well, if the wiki is correct on ZUN's old blog, Koakuma and Daiyousei are supposed to be mischievous and carefree.
As far as what he himself thinks of the two midbosses's personality.

Being mischievous and carefree isn't mutually exclusive with being shy, though.

Being mischievous and carefree isn't mutually exclusive with being shy, though.

It is when your personality is defined as shy, being shy to certain things and being a shy character is two different things in itself.
