Thus we see the majestic gatekeeper in her natural habitat. See how she casually partakes in the Dragon Ball tankouban while precariously balancing her shoes. She is unfortunately under-attentive for dealing with her natural predators, such as wandering shroom-addicts and time-freezing maids. Hopefully nature will not deal her an unpropitious blow.

A lot of perspective and some anatomical issues with this one, but the overall charm is undeniable.

Gotta love this artist's Meiling. :)

My thoughts exactly. He's on the right track, though, and his Meiling is made out of win, charm and awesome.

The thing is, Meling really does like reading manga, in cannon. it's good to see artists sticking to cannon of Touhou.

Where was it said that Meiling likes reading manga? I haven't heard about it yet.

Her Hisoutensoku victory dialogue in arcade mode against Remilia:

あ、この間の漫画は面白かったです
天狗は新聞だけじゃなく、そういう本も作ってるんですね
まあ、漫画を借りた後ちょっと酷い目にあったんですけどね
Ah, that manga was interesting.
So the tengu don't only make newspapers, but these kind of books as well.
Well, I got scolded a bit after I borrowed that manga though.

I seem to recall it's also mentioned elsewhere (officially), but I can't remember where. It's possible I'm wrong, though.
