A story that starts out with Yukari doing some mysterious plotting is always a good way to start a story like this. She's on the offensive, and in a weird way Reimu kinda knew. Reimu mentions she feels like their actions on the moon was in the wrong (I'm paraphrasing). She's normally reacting whatever incident is happening, but now she's causing others to react to what her and the rest of her group are doing. As such, she was going to lose her fight with Yorihime no matter what, as that's always how these incidents always turn out. Those that cause incidents will be defeated.

I'd also like to mention the scarlet devil cast. I enjoy all their interactions with each other. They're so carefree when they don't have to put up a front for people outside the mansion's residents.

Also I don't know if I'm the only one that feels like this, but I don't think Marisa was given nearly enough to do. She's just kinda there because she has to be, given she's the titular second playable character. I don't think she adds much to the story. She was the one that explained the spell card rules to Yorihime though, that counts for something.

As for the Watatsuki sisters themselves... I'm kinda eh about them. I don't actively dislike them. It's their culture that's problematic, at least to us earth folk, not their character. Okay well they don't really have much going for them character wise either. Like I said, eh...

ALSO, I want to seem more alternate costumes for touhou characters in these print works. I haven't actually read the more recent stuff but I feel we don't get enough of these! Reimu has a cool hat in this story, when was the last time she worn a hat??
