"In current news, the reporter writing about the recent explosion at the Scarlet Devil Mansion was attacked. The following is an excerpt of what we believe she was writing at the time of the attack:
'The explosion at the SDM was reportedly caused by an object moving at extreme speeds, providing enough kenetic energy so seemly ignite some of the mansion's residual magic particles (or so I'm told). I personally believe that a certain maid in the mansion's chest 'exploded' (if you know what I mean), causing the... NO! I'M JUST~'
This morning, Aya's office was found trashed, a breast pad shoved in her mouth. This has been Himekaidou Hatate with your CNN news update."
After many times viewing this post and laughing my ass off, I just noticed Reimu's spittake in the second to last panel is at nose level, which makes it kinda gross...
Eirin said Just have the characters say any old thing, then in the last panel, show the Scarlet Devil Mansion or the Hakurei Shrine's offertory box exploding, and you've got yourself a Touhou manga.
makkun said: Oh LOL!! This is truly a Touhou Manga!!
If Sakuya's pad explode, then this manga is godlike
Just checking, I don't know if this belongs or not, but could we not put this in the Origins pool? I read the pool rules and it says not to add to the pool,
"Any screencap or manga page from official works that have become memes"
...but I was wondering because of the quote and how every time the SDM explodes for whatever reason I almost always see someone yelling out "we have ourselves a Touhou comic!" I have been one of those

I don't see a problem.
First, it's not a screencap or official work. Bomber Grape is not one of the original creator of Touhou tittle.
Second, this triggered the "Touhou manga" trend, though it's not like it came into every other artists' works but there are hardly anyone knows Touhou but not knowing the "Now this is a Touhou manga". Might be an exception to pool's description but it is an origin.
This was a little *too* meta for me, tbh. Still, by the same token, I do sort of admire the mangaka's brutal (self-effacing) honesty in this.
And yet... Seriously, *another* jab at Sakuya's chest?
Though this has more to do with my own personal hatred of over-used schadenfreude style of humor, particularly when it's at the expense of someone who doesn't deserve it: like Ryuujo from KC, or Sakuya (who's *usually* depicted as a decent reliable person).
I knew you could do it, Eirin...Not to worry, Your Highness.Punch LineEirin, we've got a problem.Just have the characters say any old thing, then in the last panel, draw the Scarlet Devil Mansion or the Hakurei Shrine's offertory box exploding, and you've got yourself a Touhou manga.We're out of joke material for this manga.
