@ Anon:
Given the world that this arc is set in, ALL the characters are actual people, NOT videogame characters.
It can't be the actual Touhou character, it would break the thing the artist is going for.
(Don't spread the Touhou crazyness too much, It's already getting all over the place)

But now, If you spend even a minute on googling for "Touhou" you'll find about 1,200,000 relevant sites that will explain "What is Touhou?"

@Marcus: It's ok. I appreciate everything You've done for all of us so far.
I also wanted to ask You abut something Mr. Author. Are there any chances that there will be Touhou Arc or at least some "bonus" or "surprise" comics as those abut WoW?
Ok, this is what Touhou is all about p. 3

It´s hard to get your hands on a legitimate copy of a Touhou game here in the west, so you´ll probably have to resort to sites like the pirate bay or other filesharing sites for downloads.

Touhou is a series of hardcore danmaku vertically-scrolling shoot ´em ups. Basicaly, you control a sweet, innocent-looking anime loli, avoiding huge masses of projectiles while still needing to take out your enemies.

@ HeavyTank:
Touhou is a bullet hell series of shooting games, which are very high in difficulty and pretty hardcore on the higher difficulties. Really, the only games that could be considered harder are things like Contra, Mushihimesama and old "nintendo hard" nes games such as Ghosts 'n' Goblins.

Umm... Jo please fix his commenting script... Even if I write around 250 characters this script still tells me to write no more then 300 characters. Also why does I get "3 photo notes are enough for anyone! -- Bill Gates, circa 1981." When I did not add any photo note yet?
