It's Kasen's dayhttps://xcancel.com/a_to_z/status/1948294068800561263#m
Hooray!
Horny Hermit.
I wish the filesize limit wasn't so small.
She'll never appear again
>>49759310She could come back in FDS given the direction it's going in.
>>49759310that just gets me more excited for when my wife shows up in random doujins i readmental applause
HERMIT!!!!
>>49760290Rape, rape, marry.
Wife material
>>49759740How'd that go for Alice?
>>49760592Alice is Alice, she was a jobber before she ever entered the business. Kasen has always been dimes however.
quick kasen before i sleep
>>49761512Thank you for your service.
Show me your tits, Kasen!
I'd like to give Kasen a really tight hug.
oni
Which Kasen is your favorite and why?
>>49767283The Kasen in my heart
>>49767283The one with futa cock.
>>49767283Oni!
>>49767296I'm surprised she doesn't have more pregnancy art.
>>49770814me too, man
>>49771986is this aislop?
>>49772488No, I took it from the artists' twitter
My life for WaHH 2...
>>49772846All lesbians.
Anyone else get unreasonably angry when people get her oni colors wrong?
>>49772916Kasen would softly whisper training advice.Arm-san would be nibbling on your earlobe a little too hard.
>>49774729W-What does Ibaraki-douji do?
>>49774740Sexually assault you and possibly eat you afterwards.Oh you meant after they recombine, sexually assault you and definetly drag you out for drinks.
>>49772069sauce?
>>49759124Lewd Pink
>>49759086The ending was ass
>>49770814I'm surprised she doesn't have more selfcest art
>>49774740>>49774729What would CELESTIAL Kasen be like?
Despite being around for 15 years I still consider Kasen a newhu
>>49782795Then you are old!
>>49785294Wife
Your new boss.
>>49788622Remember to always grow beans to be ready for the oni home invasion.
>>49788655is this how to get an oni wife
>>49788622BEANED.COM
>>49788665yes
How big do you think Kasen is?
>>49792848about 30 40 Thou
>>49793423Nah her hip to waist ratio is definitely bigger than that
>>49792848Tall enough that Reimu only comes up to her chestThis, of course, means that Marisa barely clears her waist
>>49794528I tend to guess her at maybe 175 or 180cm. Meanwhile Yuugi should be like 190cm or taller.
Kasen is very dangerous because she feels like she's one of those 2hus that's too sacred to lewd but she's also really hot.
I think she needs to reconsider her diet.
I wanted to try and sketch each of Kasen's outfits (i'll probably do a do-over after I'm done with getting something rough), is there any that I'm missing? I'll add Onikasen and Kagekasen at the end.
>>49802258Oh and I'll do Kasen's hakurei outfit too, but it'll require completely redrawing the clothes, so I'm saving it for last.
>>49802258If we're going to include underwear, I recall that she had bloomers based on an official figurine for WaHH, but AoCF's outfit might be wearing something more risque since the sprite artist made this upskirt animation of her to coincide with ULiL's release that would definitely deconfirm bloomers.
>>49760910Lol, lmao evenBe happy she got in the shitty floatans at all
>>49804815Middling as those were, they still had very nice aesthetics, atmosphere and music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P6uOLrZpz8
>>49802258there's lots of other appearances like the who's who books, WOoHS, OSP chapter 17, etc, but she doesn't look very different in any of them
>>49805000There's a lot with only small differences but I feel like I can account for them. Here's what I have so far.https://files.catbox.moe/9gyw94.png
>>49805443And some basic colorhttps://files.catbox.moe/6pv3i3.png
>>49805594i wonder why Kasen got deflowered in CoLAare there more than just the covers for ch 29 and 33?
it looks like she has a white rose here
>>49808763Looks like I missed it, my bad. Though I wonder why she loses it in the other cover.
>>49808763
>>49808763She should have a lilly for the yuri hermit!
>>49809369oh it's actually there in the ch 33 cover too. you can see the design, it just also has a red brush stroke applied on top of it. i just took the image from the wiki, maybe there's a higher resolution you can find elsewhere.
>>49809369This should probably be closer to what the CoLA design is.https://files.catbox.moe/zpq4v2.pngThough it does confuse me in parts.In >>49809445 there's a middle part of sorts that goes down from the chest but it's way on the side here >>49808755
>>49811582Midori by way of Gensokyo?
>>49810112snow coat over her winter outfit
>>49816583(she puts it on later in chapter 10)and ch 9 where she has big boots, her winter outfit has a fluffy collar, and the flower stem design on the front flap seems to come and go as it pleases
>>49816595>>49816583I'll take a look at these tomorrow.
Official figurine for WaHH!
>>49816646Damn it, I'm slow. I'll have to add these sometime yet again tomorrow I guess.
I think I have a thing for pink women
>>49821779No anon, you have a thing for Kasen!
>>49810112I like Kasen's SCoOW colors, I think it's neat that she adopted her oni color scheme after going through the whole ordeal to get her arm back. It's like she's "whole" again, but in a different way, which I feel might've been Azmaya's idea (even if ZUN leaves it open ended) where she continues her training unsure if turning into a full oni again changed her or not.
>>49821915nta, but I know I do!
She couldn't fix me.
>>49823270Obviously not, because that's a fake! She bandaged the wrong arm!
>>49823662>>49816595>>49816583>>49816646Feels dumb to keep making mistakes.Anyway i elongated Ibaraki-douji's tabard, compared to both hermit and arm kasen it genuinely just seems to get longer based on the design sheet, like her skirt doeshttps://files.catbox.moe/bqnmci.png
Detective K
>>49823838... and the case of the forgotten image!
>>49823845I should totally add this to the outfit lineup.
>>49823270I'm sure the real Kasen could, you just need to heed her advice, not that flipped one though...
>tfw reimu shows you her beansi'm curious how long people could reasonably deny Kasen's Big Secret when WaHH was originally being published
>>49832563since ch 21 seems to drop all pretense that it's meant to be a secret at all, at least to the reader. was there other Kasen material being published at the time?
>>49832572Honestly I recall the release ongoing at the time but I don't think many people were necessarily "denying" that she was an oni, just that ZUN might throw a curveball where she might've stopped being an oni or something.
>>49832946Narratively it feels strange for it to be all but confirmed by an editor(?) byline after several hints of varying subtlety (her relationship with Suika and Komachi, her sake box, setsubun). And I only say that because I think the byline translation leaves enough wiggle room for a lore lawyer to argue "well, no one literally said Kasen was an oni." That's why I was curious if it maybe got revealed outside of the manga or something.
>>49832563About chapter 1, I believe, when the girl with buns right where her horns should be introduced herself as Ibaraki. You had to be ignorant of the deliberate allusion.
>>49834549Reading the manga with hindsight now instead of during release I feel like it was probably intentional. Her dodging the oni accusations also make for funny comedy>>49834562Wasn't she calling herself "Ibara" then? I think she kept up that nickname for a bit until it eventually she stopped, but I don't recall when.
>>49834566the -ki is just for you and me
>>49834588>one-armed, horned>IbarakiHonestly understand why people thought it could have been a bait and switch. It's just too obvious.
>>49834566gee Kasen Ibara, why do you have a box named that?I was trying to find the page where Marisa calls her "Kasen Ibara." Reimu's called her just "Kasen" twice up through volume 4 but not to her face. I've been looking out for that after reading a cute doujin where Kasen gets misty-eyed after Reimu uses her name; presumably instead of "omae" or something similar, it's kind of nebulous when you're illiterate and relying on a translation where it could be happening without you knowing.
>>49834655>gee Kasen Ibara, why do you have a box named that?clearly she stole it from an oni
Choose your Kasen!!!
>>49841938The horny one
>>49844211I was literally going to post that
>>49841938I WILL convert Arm-chan into an upstanding citizen through the power of headpats and hugs
The M-1 Grand Prix special with Kasen (and oni kasen)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afCY7y6riP4
>>49759086I never understood how Kasenfags would want to willingly put up with someone as insufferably preachy, hypocritical and full of herself as her. You would need to swallow your pride so hard that you would be instantly shitting it right out again, not to mention an inhuman level of patience to tolerate all of her "lectures".
>>49845701i wish Kasen would lecture me, after all, her ability works really well on mammals who listen!
>>49845664
>>49845664I decided to download this w/ subs so I can keep it forever, I recommend others do the same.
The strongest rapist in Gensokyo.
>>49845701Sometimes all you need in life is somebody to give you a good kick in the pants. Somebody who will nag you until you become who you know you can be. Even if she's preachy, even if she's a hypocrite, wouldn't it be great to have somebody who cares enough to come over to your place to make sure you're not just goofing off?
New azmaya kasenhttps://x.com/a_to_z/status/1955510935826948540
>>49852132pigs i mean hermits will tell you that they only eat mist, that is a LIE
>>49852132cute
For me, it's the Oni's Drinking Vessel, Under the Cherry Blossoms, Even Corpses Cannot Rest, and Autumn with the sky clear and blue, and shrines growing stout.
>>49855889I like that chapter where they build hakurei land
Oni
You are voting for all of her in the popularity poll, right?
>>49859676The Hakurei Shrine Cannot Make a Profit. That's the one with /biz/ Aunn.
>>49859676I like to imagine it'll always be a moment of shame for her.
>>49867820>>49866950Poor Kasen...
>>49867820Hello money! I mean, children! I hereby declare the opening of… MONEY! I mean, HAKUREI LAND!
Do you consider Kasen to be more "cute" or "sexy"?
Somehow Toyohime makes it into a danmaku game before Kasen
>>49882370She also showed up way before KasenMaybe she'll show up for the next Photo game
>>49882370She was in touhou 17 technically
>>49885919Heaven
>>49862879In my #3 spot.
man i wish this page was coloredhas ZUN ever drawn kasen or miyoi? surely there's napkin doodles or something?
>>49891126there's a sketch of her somewhere out there, he rolled her out for an exhibition but you weren't allowed to take photos so all we have are these sketches based on his sketches
>>49891350
just finished my reread, what a good manga>>49891350lmao (I hate fish.) the manzairaku is sweating
>>49891402>the manzairaku is sweatingWell, it's not a true fish!
>>49759086Happy late Birthday, Kasen. I'm sorry everyone bullies you with lewdness so much. I'm sorry you'll never appear again.
>>49896192She'll appear again (in our hearts)
you think never seeing Kasen again is bad? I'll NEVER see Arm-chan again.
>>49896537She's on my desk
>>49900969god i wish that thing on the left was me
Introducing the new Hakurei Shrine maiden!
>>49906029I have an irrational fondness for how that looks on her.
>>49909210I'll never be able to accept that she was able to fit into that outfit.
>>49909237The sprite artist for the floatans drew her in that outfit, but had to add the "ripping" sound effect.
Mgmg
Kasen!Is Azuma working on anything else? Been a while since the last translated chapter of SPELL.
>>49915110SPELL's actually releasing again this month. It was on hiatus for a while and I think we still don't know the reason. It definitely wasn't health issues, because Azmaya put out some stuff at various conventions in the meantime (none of it got scanned as far as I know), but I don't think she ever actually specified why SPELL was on hiatus. They've made all the chapter free to read for the Japanese audience, though that doesn't affect us, obviously.
Unfortunately it's only a sample...
>>49915135Here's the official reason.
>>49916093Woah hermit mama...
>>49919485>>49915135[announcement]continuation of service!also, end of service!getting an ending at all is a blessing i suppose, i've been through too many abandoned series regardless of reason to be fazed much. not like the original premise necessitated a lengthy epic anyways.
>>49920751Isn't it more like she's just finishing the final chapter?
>>49921867i dunno i can't read loli forgot the end of chapter 9 basically said "it's ending!"
>>49923995This guy really likes to draw Kasen by the water.
Why is the 'hermit' so gluttonous and fat?
>>49925996she knows that the fat only goes to certain areas so eating a lot is fine
>>49926440Okay, come on, posting Rindou is cheating.
>>49925996
>>49925996You know how some people will start chewing gum to quit smoking? I like to think it's like that, and the habit stuck.
>>49926506Damn right! Eating is fun!
Thoughts on Suikakasen?
>>49926947Kasen was cute in it
>>49926947what's that?
+1 rank in the popularity poll!
>>49935335Some backstory fanfiction
>>49937547Girl had her own self titled manga that ran for a decade, was a sage, one of the main onis, and basically became Reimus mom and she can’t even beat Sagume in popularity No wonder ZUN dropped her ass.
>>49940290that's a really funny way to word what you're saying. kasen is my favorite character but i don't think i'd want her to replace reimu in the mainline games.
I ship Kasen and Yuugi. Could you please post some of them?
>>49941589Maybe but only if you can explain why you ship them.
I like lewd Kasen bullying. I like her being embarrassed by her erotic body and the attention people pay to it. I don't like the memery that makes her really horny. That "NO" stuff. That ruins it completely.
>>49941644A good question, and not one I've really thought hard about before.I like oni, and I like the deva. I've put a lot of thought (and dubious headcanon) into them. There's a lot of contrast between them that could be very cute, if done up right - the oni's oni, living it up in true oni fashion, the sort of girl one thinks of when they think of a female oni.Then you've got the prim Kasen, an oni in active denial of her nature, one moralistic by the... stricter... standards of humans. And we're not getting into their status as old friends, which has countless opportunities for past encounters... or 'encounters'. Some of this is, of course, also present with Suika... But I do prefer the larger oni to the small oni, even if I do like both.I'm not being very coherent, I know...
>>49941761fair enough, thanks for explainingthere's barely any content for yuugi and kasen without suika though. them's the breaks I guess
>>499416441 cute2 canon
Ate too much
>>49941705I think her repressing those desires makes sense, but I don't think she should be especially hornier than a normal person.
>>49941778Thank you for your help, anon.It's sad that there isn't more, but it can't be helped.
>>49891126ZUN drew Kasen for... I think WBAWC's endings.
>>49944622Oh yeah, the Reimu Eagle ending, thanks. And of course money is involved.sorry for the shitty youtube screen grab
>>49944692Hilarious that this is the last time we’ll ever see Kasen again
>>49944692>>49891126
>>49945702slutty miko clothing getting passed around the whole town...Miko Miko Suika is fun
>>49945754You wonder who keeps sewing those outfits
Why is Kasen so cute!?
>>49951427Her middle name is kawaii
>>49941813Right. Tsun 'bout sex Kasen is cute, but slutty Kasen is dogshit. >>49951427She's got a lewd body and gets upset and embarrassed about it when it's pointed out. That's cute.
Have YOU drawn Kasen yet?
Kasen!
>>49965759love watercolors

>>49970150That's nice, I wish someone would draw something original though... Copying sprites is easy.
>>49972068There was this one in Ibaraki.
>>49972698That's much better.
new SPELLcute hagand some dangerous expressions considering the genres of other azmaya doujins
>>49973853cute kasen frown
>>49973165My eyes can't stay up for long, sorry Kasen...
>>49973853All lesbians btw.
>>49976553I wonder which dog species Kasen likes best, she did handle a shiba or something similar in the fairies manga
>>49978951The male ones.
>>49973165I am sorry miss horny but we already have a resident lecturer
>>49984551Look at that bright smile.
Kasen May Cry
Would you comfort Kasen?
>>49992201Yes, all day!
You wake up in the night to find someone raiding your fridge...!
>>49759086
>>49759086>kasen will never tease you with her bare feetWHY EVEN LIVE?
>>50007986You want her to stomp on you?
>>50004566I love this limb
I want to sniff Kasen's unwashed butthole.
>>49823904I burn out on making this but I returned to fix up the detective outfit at least. I don't think Kasen has any other official outfits or outfits by Azmaya as far as I'm aware.https://files.catbox.moe/j2rn20.pngI wonder what Kasen should be doing in my next drawing...
>>50009095no I'm a sophisticated footfall unlike the others, I wanna massage her feet and other domestic stuff. It'd be so epic....
>>50009750footfag*
The prettiest!
Show me those tits, Kasen!
>>50019801Only if you post kasen
>>50027806Arm
>>50029210Could you live with the arm AND kasen?
Oh God...Here comes the arm.
>>50033376What about her?
>>50043669Wifed.
>>50045897By me
>>50053890Kasen is teaching Tenshi!
>>49759086So Touhou has been shit for that long, huh. Poor Kasen.
The time of Kasen's anniversary thread is soon over...
>>50053890
Go live in the senkai, NOW!!!
>>50064488S-sure...
>>49845838I was really disappointed that this wasn't the real Kasen. her reversing their usual dynamic was super cool and fun
>>49882203I like to imagine hermit Kasen as being cute and just being unable to conjure up any seductiveness whatsoever.on the opposite side, oni Kasen would be sexy but not cute due to looking more mature, which would make it very entertaining to see her trying to be cute regardless.of the three of them, only Arm-chan would be able to pull off both, if she put her mind to it.
>>49944829a brutal but unfortunately likely statement.
>>49941644not him, but I think they're still at least pretty good friends given that Kasen borrows Yuugi's sake dish that one time. and I also think that they still have a lot in common, with Kasen being an oni who was forced to reform and decided to embrace that new life, and Yuugi also being an oni who, rather than being a useless troublemaker like Suika, chooses to spend her time managing the Hot Spring Town.it's gotta take a lot of effort to keep order down there with all the oni and vengeful spirits, so it actually says quite a bit about Yuugi's character that she'd choose to administrate that. she obviously hasn't rejected her oni nature outright and indulges in it in moderation unlike Kasen, who represses her own impulses and often fails, but I think that making those choices every day to create and maintain something important instead of getting drunk and blowing it up is something that both characters share in common.I'm not totally caught up on all of Yuugi's latest appearances, though, so if I'm wrong then feel free to let me know.>>49941589
>>49941705would oni Kasen have been lewd, though? and if so, would hermit Kasen be embarrassed about having a slutty past? would be kind of a touchy subject if someone ever convinced her to start dating.
>>49960178I played as her and got my ass kicked in the /jp/ gensou skydrift tournament two months ago, so I had to draw all of us losers together
shit, I just realized that the thread's already dying so there's no point in making all these posts...
>>50058725me on the right
>>50068462There'll be another time.>>50068469Only if you have an evil enough band for her.
Four lessons learned by Kasen Ibaraki when getting a human boyfriend after a thousand-year dry spell:1. Your human needs to be the one to set the pace. If he isn't, then you will hurt his pelvis and can't have sex with him for a few weeks.2. If you give your human bites in conspicuous areas, people will be worried that he was mauled by an animal. Only bite him under the clothes.3. When your human says "stop", it does NOT mean "just one more round". See rule 1 as for why you ought to take heed.4. When your human says "I love you", he actually means it. Even if you're really old and frumpy and have a complicated history.Tune in next time for more hot dating tips from Kasen Ibaraki!
