We want to emphasize that we plan to make more frequent updates no matter what from here on! Our desire to try and have more details ready first has led to time slipping away. We appreciate everyone's patience and support as always! 💖💚🖤🤍

🍉 Shipping Update
We sincerely apologize for the delays and lack of updates. Most of it is from extenuating personal circumstances on the mod team and holdups regarding manus.
Most of our merch has been ordered! We're still working out the rest and we hope to update again soon.

Hi! We're terribly sorry for the lack of updates here, most of our merch has been ordered but we've had a few hang-ups over the summer regarding some manus and other irl issues. We're planning on reconciling with a formal update very very soon, thank you for reaching out! 💚

Sorry for a bit of silence, but the mods have been getting things together and ordering our supplies!

In the meantime, here's a spotlight for one of our merch artists: Cat (@junepeiyuri on Twitter)! They made some of our stickers, and we're honored to be the first zine they've worked on 💚

"Meet the Contributors" spotlight image for merch artist Cat (they/them, nya/nyas). The preview on the right has art they drew of Okuu firing her laser cannon.

About Me: hi!! i've been a huge touhou fan since i was like 10 and i stumbled across it while listening to vocaloid! i'm very excited to be able to contribute to a project like this, its also my first time joining a zine so thats exciting!!
okina, koishi, seija, and kanako are some of my favorite characters (if i kept going we'd be here all day... i love them all!!) but my favorite game is probably either subterranean animism or wily beast and weakest creature! other than touhou, i also quite like mystery vns and pokemon

Our pre-orders finally end tonight, but tonight Muslims around the world also celebrate Eid, marking the end of Ramadan! If you have more to give, we recommend supporting Palestinians directly today so they can celebrate Eid properly.

And Eid Mubarak to those celebrating!

just preordered some stuff from this! I know specifically for my uk mutuals we all get paid today, so if you have anything to spare, might be worth having a browse and see if there's anything that takes your fancy.
