I'd say few of his dark works are truly good. He does a poor job of keeping it within 'too much' and 'not enough' in most of them.

The cannibalism gets you the first time, but once you're used to that it becomes obvious that he lays it on too thick. Oooooo monsters eat ppl, ppl taste good, scary scary.

Kind of this. People probably like this guy's works, but I just don't get his writing philosophy. It's like he's trying to do a serious drama with dark fantasy elements but can't bring himself to drag Touhou out of its cheery kitchen sink so it ends up coming off as genre blind.

If he actually had an alternate canon setting to work in he could really excel in writing a dark fantasy Touhou.

*Gensoukyou, but the youkai are actually youkai, with all that entails.*

That's what he writes, it really is that simple.

At this point I think is work can best be describe as grimn comedy. Oh yes some of the stuff he brought out is dark, and when its dark, it gets very dark, but yet there is still an underlining comdey behind that. The Can story and vote to eat a guy story are such example.

What do that mean by that?

Hatate is shown here to be just a plain, headstrong girl in this story. She even betrays her Tengu allies. That's kind of going against Japanese folklore isn't it? I'd hardly consider the canned meat story to have anything to do with it either, and the story about Yuuka taking over Gensoukyou is just silly. None of those strike me as having deep Japanese folklore.

With how infamous Zounose is with his "grimdark bullshit", you'd be forgiven to think it makes up the major part of his work.

Pretty sure the term here is black comedy.

"Youkai are actually youkai" as in their base desire, consumption of human meat, is retained. They need and will eat human to continue being Youkai because that's just in their nature, even one of the Forbidden Scrollery or was it Wild & Horned Hermit also touched upon this topic, with Yukari transporting human from outside world to supply the youkai with meat because eating any of the human village is greatly frowned upon.

Yet many stubborn people decided to just ignore that entirely as to them, "Touhou is all pink and rainbow with cute little girls throwing non-lethal magic at each other for fun".

Seems like King Boo is now tsun for Luigi. I mean, he did regard him as a rival before so I guess the turns have tabled now.

Oh wow she's small. And not just in the chest department either.

Her general size is inversely proportional to her ego.

Isn't that how it always is? Tiny girls are full of fire, and tall/large girls are shy?

Nope and lady bow is anything but shy.

From my experience less tall people are often more "active" and loud.
And tall people are chill and laidback.

I think they'll be fine. No one said they couldn't have whisky.

No probs, there may be a another strip where Atlanta will say she made a mistake, stating that no alcohol is allowed for both Gangut and Tashkent. And she will punish Hibiki in a different way for brining in that bottle of whiskey.

She really cannot punish Hibiki since she's not part of her dorm so Hibiki is outside of her rules. Not to mention Hibiki didn't break her rules to begin with.

If anything Atlanta has to admit communication errors and revise her rules but Hibiki is not punished for it.

Side note on Hibiki 21 (multiple winner of the World’s Best Blended Whisky title), it alongside several other aged Hikibi whiskys were discontinued due to the rising demand for the brand and Japanese whisky. This stemmed from the fact that demand for whisky dropped off in the 80's in Japan and so production became very limited. As demand greatly increased, they simply didn't have the stock to keep selling and it will take a long time before they could create more due to the aging time (21 years in the case of Hibiki 21).

Akagi-chan is sure cute and I love how Enterprise is in this comic.

These comics have provided a much needed laugh. Hats off to the artist.

That "HALP" I was not ready for it, it's too early in the morning for a belly laugh
