I'm sold on the new artist: everything looks much more intimidating now. Not that the old art was bad (towards the end).
Excitedly waiting for a translation.

17.5 and Detective Satori.
Today was a good day.

>>37073754
I concur.

>>37073623
I missed Satori so much

>>37073623
Does something actually happen for once?

>>37074725
perhaps

>>37074725
A lot happened. Kinda.

God I love this art so much, I'm so glad this artist took over Satori.

so what's the chance Mokou has met Mima before, or that whoever it is that has been possessed has a decent relationship with Mokou?

>>37075223
I liked the old artist's style, but this one is very good too.

The soul is gone...

>>37075780
>gone
Yooooouuu mean restored right? Jeez, didn’t we all shit on CDS BECAUSE of the art style.

Mokou a cute

>>37073623
translate it weebs

translation when?

>>37077175
maybe you did because you're a tasteless fucker, but I thought it was decent at characters and weak at backgrounds in the early chapters and really good in the later chapters

>>37073623
CHINA DOWN
CHINA DOWN

I'll miss the fancy outfits and overall daintiness of the old mangakas work, but this one seems like they have plenty of experience with making comics and it shows. All the poses are very fluid and show motion, expressions are vivid, etc. I'm excited to see more. Might be the best one yet in terms of skill.

>>37077175
Don't forget, according to /jp/, copy pasting background elements in photoshop over and over again is peak soul and the height of skill.

>>37081028
There's no doubt that the previous artist wasn't highly skilled but it was still charming, and the art got better in the lastest chapters. I've enjoyed this new chapter a lot however, even if I can only understand a fraction of what's written at the moment.

AAAAA LEVANDER
SAVE US FROM EOP HELL

Why are Eirin's eyes slit

>>37073623
I actually prefer the old artstyle.
Sure it was far away from being considered professional but on a core level it was pretty neat.

>>37083739
I guess that's how the artist draws pupils, look at Reimu's eyes or Mokou's eyes

I think there are too many closeups and dynamic poses, and it looks weird because of that.

>>37080667
>>37083570
>>37083776
I like the previous artist style, being very unique.
But, supposing they had the same amount of amount of skill and health for drawing manga, for the themes of this particular plot (mystery, murder, revenge, hatred) I prefer the style of the new artist whih is heavier.

>>37085025
None of those themes are in the manga though. It's just some ghost putting people to sleep. It might even just turn out to be Miyoi hopping alcohol vessels before settling in Suika's gourd.

>>37073623
i like the new art style and i think people should just be happy its finally back

>>37085138
the vengeful spirit is supposed to have been watching raymoo since scarlet mist so satorimanga was probably supposed to have those types of themes
at this point though it's just a wild goose chase and nothing of significance happens
I hope to god it doesn't go through every game and instead stops at SA or something

>>37085202
>the vengeful spirit is supposed to have been watching raymoo since scarlet mist so satorimanga was probably supposed to have those types of themes
>I hope to god it doesn't go through every game and instead stops at SA or something

It's why I jokingly suggested Miyoi. At the beginning of her manga, she came off as a stalker who knew a lot about the characters and their abilities and was making them fight monsters so she could see them use their powers. It was never explained how Miyoi got into Suika's jug to begin with either, so it'd make sense for Miyoi to be hopping around from alcohol vessel to alcohol vessel, meeting the various characters she heard of and having them fight. Given they don't remember her either, it'd fit right in. Although the (not-remembering thing seems only to apply to humans.) IN and then IaMP would be the last, where she stays in Suika's jug.

>>37083611
Thank you, Levander!

>>37088289
I guarantee mokou is talking to mamizou
screencap this post, you know I'm right

I thought that the art was a bit weird compared to the humor of the plot but also made an unique contrast
I'm thorn apart on one side I did like it and on the other side I think I prefer 2hoes more cartoonish instead of doll like looking

>>37089599
Yeah, fits much better to the context of horror story, the plot turned to be pretty dark now after this chapter

>>37089534
Who do you all think will be the next victim?

>>37085403
>IN and then IAMP
But its been going in chronological order. It’d make no sense to skip IAMP and go straight to IN and then back to IAMP. Being real here, it’ll probably end at UFO since you go to Makai in that game, so it’d make sense that we end at the buddhists unless we suddenly get confirmation that we have to go through every entry sans 17.5 and 18 (due to not being out when CDS began), I think it ending at 12 is the most likely.

>>37090201
Likely Shiki Eiki and Komachi (or just Komachi)…..because lets be honest theres no way its gonna be Yuuka. If its not any of them, it’ll be Aya.

But yeah guessing since POFV is up next, it’ll be Shiki Eiki and Komachi (or again, just Komachi).

>>37091386
What about the current arc? Reisen, Eirin, Kaguya, Mokou or Tewi?

>>37090201
Tewi.

>>37091800
Since it avoided Mokou, presumabky Eirin and Kaguya are safe thanks to the elixir. So I’m wagering Reisen, and Tewi. Maaayyybeer Keine if the mangaka has the balls to add her

>>37089534
I was gonna say Keine

>>37091386
>because lets be honest theres no way its gonna be Yuuka
If it's Mima though, Yuuka absolutely WILL have to make a return. It's being implied that Reimu has an idea of who the spirit and it's making her very uneasy.

>>37089534
If Mamizou is involved that brings in Kosuzu and Akyuu, and Kosuzu in particular is no stranger to being possessed. Will MimaSuzu finish the job?

>>37091386
>But its been going in chronological order. It’d make no sense to skip IAMP and go straight to IN and then back to IAMP.
That is my reasoning though, IN came out before IaMP despite the numbering.

>>37093602
>If it's Mima though, Yuuka absolutely WILL have to make a return.
What makes you say that?

>>37091386
>it’ll probably end at UFO since you go to Makai in that game
Didn't it come from Satori's hell? There's no reason for it to keep going beyond SA, as it'll be back to Satori's family.

>>37090201
Tewi is the only I can see. Lunarians are technically human, but more to the point, Eirin, Kaguya and Mokou are hourai immortals so I doubt they'd even be possible to victimise.
Reisen's a moon rabbit but I don't think she counts as a youkai whilst Tewi is unambigously one.

>>37093719
Because they are both PC-98 characters and played very similar roles to one another

>>37093663
>If Mamizou is involved that brings in Kosuzu and Akyuu,
wut. No. Mamizou and those characters are far from intrinsically tied.

Anyway the likely candidates are Keine and Sumireko. I'd guess Keine

>>37091386
>It’d make no sense to skip IAMP
IaMP isn't mainline and it's basically already been skipped

>>37095999
It hasn't. It's going in game release order. IaMP is next.

>>37095992
The link with Kosuzu is not really questionable after FS and HM, and the link between Kosuzu and Akyuu is self-evident
Regardless, you're right that it's most likely Keine unless it's some wild card like a possessed Tewi or something based on Eirin's ominous words

>>37095992
Kagerou is another possibility. She lives in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost too and Mokou should atleast recognize her. Also it looks like there's two triangles shaped like wolf ears on the head of the shadowy figure, but maybe I'm just seeing things.

It could also be Tewi, who could've sent the bunny that got bonked to find Mokou for help against the Mi-sterious Ma-licious spirit. Tewi's a bit too perfect of a target though, so I'll put down my guesses as Kagerou as the figure talking to Mokou and Tewi as next victim.

>>37096320
I don't know who it might be in the forest but I think eirin's words are saying reimu is possessed
otherwise she wouldn't have mentioned the "playing the frightened shrine maiden" part
maybe I'm just seeing it wrong though I don't know

>>37096478
It feels like it's played in a way to make that seem like a possibility, at least. It's definitely not out of the question.
I really wish we knew who the vengeful spirit is and what they want. The suspense is killing me.

>>37096529
just believe in your bones
they know the truth

>>37096529
it's gonna turn out to be all of "unnamed pc-98 midbosses" isn't it
(I'm glad it's actually going somewhere now)

Reimu drank tea with Kaguya, chances on that being how the spirit claims another victim?

The spirit is actually just Koishi, which explains why nobody can see her coming. She's not possessing shit, she's actually just controlling all of the 2hu's subconscious actions. It also fits since Satori is the main character of CDS.
Autist signing out

>>37097080
Honestly I'd take this
It would redeem Koishi and this "eh" story

I hope they re-do the earlier chapters for the tank release.

>>37097080
oh please no

>>37096198
That's extremely arbitrary and based on your own assumption and everything else in canon doesn't treat release order as chronological

>>37096320
>The link with Kosuzu is not really questionable after FS and HM,
What would HM have to do with Kosuzu

>>37073623
Characters are definitely much closer to on-model, but is that a 3D rendering of the SMD?

>>37097648
>everything else in canon doesn't treat release order as chronological
Such as?

>>37098659
BaIJR and PMiSS?

>>37098659
https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Immaterial_and_Missing_Power/Afterword
ZUN directly stated 7.5 takes place between PCB and IN
"Though I get the feeling "What's with 7.5 being released after 8",
this isn't the numbering order of release, but rather the order of canon.
The plot of this game happens between Perfect Cherry Blossom (Winter to Spring)
and the time of Imperishable Night (Early Autumn)."

>>37097650
You never noticed Mamizou wearing Kosuzu's bells in HM and all the other fighters?

>>37104939
Even the bow is from Kosuzu's apron

>>37104939
>>37104956
Kosuzu's bells are small and a reference to her name, which means "little bell(s)". This is what you call "reaching". The bow is also rather different, especially on her HM sprite.

>>37105054
How exactly are two matching elements "reaching"?

>>37105071
By them literally not matching. You blind, sir? Or maybe you can't read. In whichever case, they're not necessarily references, especially given they don't look the same and you know, no one's ever called them references/Mamizou never mentions Kosuzu outside of FS

>>37105146
what if there never was suzers and it was a dream all along

>>37105146
>By them literally not matching.
But they do match. I would say the reach is you trying to say that a character wearing two signature design elements that match another character that they are close to in other works.
>no one's ever called them references
The Japanese literally do, dummy.

>>37105146
>By them literally not matching.
But they do match. I would say the reach is you trying to say that a character wearing two signature design elements that match another character that they are close to in other works are not relevant or intentional at all.
>no one's ever called them references
The Japanese literally do, dummy.

>>37105188
>>37105185
>The Japanese literally do, dummy.
"The Japanese" are speculating as much as you are, then?

>But they do match
Little bells are gigantic, ribbon is different (ends thinner, actual bow thicker)

>>37105193
>Little bells are gigantic
She's wearing a gigantic version of her signature leaf, so why wouldn't the bells be matching? It's called cohesive character design.>>37105193
>ribbon is different
So it fits on the leaf hat instead of an apron. You're reaching.

>>37105213
agreed

>>37105213
You realize your making excuses to fit your theory.

Which is what I'm doing: the point is that these elements are guesses. They could just as easily just be random additions, especially given general fashion sense in Gensokyo

>>37073660
The art was getting good, but backgrounds were still meh, so I can see why there was a change in artists.

>>37105397
The change was because the first artist dipped out for health issues, not because of quality
Otherwise other Touhoh mangaka would also be kicked out of projects early on before they had a chance to get used to a monthly schedule

Since we are talking about Touhou artists I wonder what happened to Alphes

>>37097162
Fairy manga didn't get redrawn so I don't think so.

>>37105814
One day he turned the saturation up too high and just disappeared.

>>37104939
Those bells are just a Tanuki's kintama.
>>37104956
That bow is just a different interpretation of the bow in >>37104939

>>37106033
But why does she have glasses and a notebook unless she's Kosuzu's wife

>>37106033
>Those bells are just a Tanuki's kintama.
So you're saying the male Mamizou doujins are canon

>>37106552
Doujinshi aside, she does spend a lot of her time pretending to be a male when disguised in the village, does she not?

>>37106934
No? She's actually more feminine in her human guise.

mamizou is boring and will never featured on CDS

Mamizou dumped Kosuzu for Miyoi because Miyoi's got the drinks and can cook. Also tits.

Would be nice for it to be Kagerou, just to give Mokou another friend.

>>37097080
But it doesn't make sense how they all get their spiritual power sucked out. Koishi has nothing to do with that.

>>37121043
Nice, but highly unlikely. She's not important or mysterious enough to warrant a cliffhanger entrance.

>>37121043
I assume it's a IN boss like Keine or maybe Tewi because it seems to be going by game.

>>37121043
Don't give Mokou more friends, they would take away from artists drawing more Mokou x Keine. The one with Sumireko was already random and forced enough.

>>37127089
Sumireiko is probably who's showing up

Just noticed how silly Reisen's gun looks in this chapter

>>37127462
We gave the moon rabbits toy weapons purely as a joke.

>>37127462
It matches how silly Reisen looks after a night shift.

>>37127462
I liked it better hen it was small. Being a big bullhorn is weird, now it's like a bull-bazooka

>>37130436
She has the small one strapped to her leg actually. I was thinking the same thing but then I noticed it's right there. Guessing small one's her side arm now.

>>37133515
Yeah, hope fanartists take a stab at this design. Anyways she used both in AoCF, the one big bullhorn gun, and dual-wielding two little bunny guns.

>>37133515
I thought that was a potion bottle or something

>>37127462
no your face is silly

>>37127462
>>37133515
This rabbit cannot exist without looking like she's in pain.

>>37150470
Precisely because she is always in pain

dude, when is Mima coming back

Oi.
