Touhou Nekokayou: Scarlet Weather Archive in Japanese Red
Created: Mon 14 Jul 2008 11:34:35 EDT / Modified: Tue 27 Oct 2009 21:38:55 EDT
Scarlet Weather Archive in Japanese Red (東方猫佳容 — romanized Touhou Nekokayou, meaning Oriental Cat Prettyface, or possibly "Touhou :3")1 is a Touhou fan webcomic, updated whenever I feel like it (generally Sunday and a few Wednesdays or Thursdays). It is made using create.swf, a creation of KirbyM and Thefre.
We now have an IRC channel: irc.ppirc.net, channel #nekokayou.
Originally, I tried to fit Touhou canon in this fancomic, in the sense that I use canon as a guideline for where to start, and while I didn't meticulously try to ensure that literally everything fits the official established works, I wasn't actually being serious about it.2 However, at this point, we can probably safely say that it is set in an alternate universe from canon.
I'm not entirely sure why I don't think of this or the surrounding fan-fiction as being "doujins," since it more or less fits the definition fairly well.3

1Because everything Touhou needs a Japanese name and an English name, and because I am a dork.
2This is still true.
3Apart from merely not being Japanese, but if you have a problem with that in and of itself, you probably shouldn't come here to begin with.
All Touhou characters are © Team Shanghai Alice and/or ZUN; create.swf is ⑨ KirbyM with help from Thefre. "Sakura petals" brush in main/4koma logo was made by Kisara Girl. "Falling leaves" brush in 60-Years logo came with Photoshop.

Is it just me, or has the logo on the comics changed (normal and 60-years)?
Kimiko Muffin
Yes, I kind of mentioned that in the commentary for the latest comic.
CapedLuigisYoshi
Mmmm-nope. No mention. Lesse what the latest commentary has:
*Intro paragraph saying about retconning
*Paragraph about Sakuya's backstory
*P about SFX "b'duh" and "nekokayou"
*P about what Getsu sisters would be like in UNL
*Closing remarks about going off on a tangent
...You forgot, didn't you? -brick'd-
Kimiko Muffin
(See also: everything else I've done to the rest of the comic!)
No, I guess that just wasn't clear enough.
CapedLuigisYoshi
Ah, but in context, the line implies that it's refering to silliness...
Also, how is changing logo panels "everything else"? Unless there's more that I don't know about...
hideki101
You know what? I feel rather embarrassed that I only just realized you were a guy.
Solarn
HAHA! You may have retconned away the OMGSOSERIOUS Saisoutensoku comics, but I have incontrovertible (is that the right word?) proof that, if nothing else, Kon Yakumo still exists within the comics' continuity!
Solarn
Aww, you're boring. I expected a lot more "O NOES YOU FOUND ME OUT!" and stuff.
Well, actually, I didn't. That would have been extremely silly.

So, your comic was so notable that it got an article on TVTropes?
...Anyways, you're missing Comics 97-100.
