This is going to be a page topper, but whatever.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm actually somewhat sad we didn't see equipped-for-winter Marisa with her Forbidden Scrollery trench coat. That's my favorite attire of hers.

So, in the latest WaHH, Marisa and Reimu are wearing overalls. I've seen something like that before. Are they farming?

[up][up] I'm amused that the preview for that page says it contains "Cirno and Tanned Cirno".

New Wa HH out on Batoto. In which we learn the perils of being too subtle.

Mokou looks really good in this artstyle.

[up] Agreed, she looks especially handsome in this.

The "I'll investigate it. Next time." Line really got me, as did the part where Reimu and Marisa both only remembered Kasen talking about food.

Hold it! Did Mokou just CHOP A BAMBOO WITH HER BARE HANDS!?

edit: Also, sleeveless Reimu still looks weird. Did Kasen take them off?

Mokou's bare-handed bamboo chop right after Reimu was ranting about the bamboo's hardness was pretty bad ass.

She even did it all casually. It's like "You want this bamboo cut? Sure." *chop* "Done." or something like that.


Say, I think this is one of the few times a character contemplates flying in a manga.

Oh, and finally it's acknowledged why they're walking even though they can fly all the time.

And yay! It's a reasonable explanation that I myself used to explain why people would ever walk through the Bamboo forest of the Lost when they could fly instead.

I also am amused by Mokou cutting the bamboo. I'm reminded of the Tale of the Bamboo cutter that spawned Princess Kaguya. If the bamboo shoots are overflowing with life, maybe that's why her bamboo shoot glowed back in the day (what with her being a hourai immortal). Also there's some amusing irony to Mokou cutting the glowing Bamboo. Maybe she's been practicing for the next time Kaguya ends up in a bamboo shoot.

Heh, or maybe she initially cut them open because she thought Kaguya was hiding in them and yay murder. Then she was all disappointed.

I also thought Mokou chopping bamboo with her bare hands was awesome!

I love the way Reimu non-chalantly starts turning it into a game of Shiritori, Marisa proudly keeps it going without missing a beat and Sanae is kind of confused but wants to play along to be part of the group. That's an excellent display of personality dynamics.

Reimu and Marisa were even cuter than usual this chapter. Strong Mokou is strong. Imagine what a chop like that could do to Kaguya's face.

Can anyone tell me what's their reason for not flying all the time? 'Cause I haven't read Wa HH yet and I can't really skip 39 chapters just for a minor canon detail that should have been clarified years ago with Reimu's float outside of reality skill just bugs me

In this chapter, it's because Marisa and Reimu want to keep track of their markings in the forest.

[up]So,is there any answer as to why don't they fly when travelling outside of the bamboo forest,like that time Marisa climbed to Tengu's territory trying to find Kosuzu?
