Is Shin Gensokyo at all inspired by Osana Reimu?

Not really, I get a lot of comments how the current story really sounds like osana reimu but the root really started with this silly sketches

The story in which the sketches took place in is a much more modern Gensokyo. There’s the scarlet devil mansion being a huge corporate entity, the kappa having a tech company with a monopoly on it and former hell having a nuclear energy that powers the whole of Gensokyo. The Protagonists are these 3 little fellas but eventually I decided to scrap the story all together because I really don’t know where to go with it. However the theme of modern Gensokyo persists throughout the iteration.

The next iteration is more of a next generation of Gensokyo Incident Solver, kinda like how Boruto is to Naruto (I know, I don’t have any other comparison). This is also where I first came up with ShinGensokyo as a name (Not on my own, my friend gave it as a suggestion and I took it). The story is centered around 3 characters too, which is Reiyu Hakurei the daughter of Reimu, Hatsuma Morichika the daughter of Marisa and Rin Satsuki, a half youkai kirin. The modern setting of Gensokyo was toned down in this iteration, no big bad evil corporation SDM, the kappa tech company is not really a tech company anymore, and the Moriya become the huge factor of technology trickling into Gensokyo.

The main theme of the story here was about Reiyu looking up to take up the mantle of Hakurei Shrine Maiden like her mother but she is timid about it and Reimu don’t really want to push that responsibility to Reiyu as she doesn’t really know how to teach Reiyu to become a shrine maiden herself. Really had difficulty with this iteration because it changes a lot of the major characters in Touhou and I really have a hard time to do them justices, I’d also have to worry about the theme of modern Gensokyo and how everyone copes with the changes made while at the same time I have to focus on Reiyu’s and the other characters’ arc. Overall it’s a story heavy project for a first timer attempting to make a comic series. But then….

I made these little sketches of “wouldn’t it be funny if Rumia gets adopted by Yukari as a shikigami.” it got some attention and I keep drawing it because I adore drawing a simple character design and also I love Yukari. I tried making it a separate series than ShinGensokyo and titled it Sunshine but my ambitious dumb self thought that I should add some substances other than “haha silly Rumia.” and so I got the idea of combining ShinGensokyo and Sunshine and it’s a formula that I came to accept.

Rumia is kind of a blank template for me to start working out her character which is good. Initially, I came up with a gag slice-of-life comic about a modern Gensokyo as seen through the eye of a clueless Rumia but then I decided to add some character development to Rumia too which is now the current state of the comic.

In conclusion, No, ShinGensokyo is not at all inspired by Osana Reimu. The main theme of ShinGensokyo is about dealing with changes and growing up while Osana Reimu and it's subsequence sequel Reireimu from what I can tell is dealing with tragedy and past traumas (I never really watched it, only heard about it, my apologies if I get the theme wrong). the only similarities I could tell is Rumia's questionable origin both in Osana and Shingensokyo. If you read this far, thank you and sorry for going on about it with a long post when the answer is just simply No. Thank you for asking.

What’s Yukari like in this AU you have? Also I really love how Reimu’s husband took her name uwu. That makes me happier than it should.

For Yukari, she is going to be some sort of supervisor for the new era Gensokyo, she kept the youkai in check while still listening to their trouble and such. She also kept watch of the human in case they become a skeptic like the outside world. TL; DR she has more an active role in New Gensokyo. More paperwork, more trouble, and more intervention that she had to deal with than usual.

It made more sense for someone to take on Reimu's name since the Hakurei bloodline is influential and all.

would u mind going into more detail for your recent touhou au stuff? im intrigued

It started as a drawing of "what if" Cirno, Daiyousei and Rumia grown up, eventually it turn into a full blown setting. Initially Cirno, Rumia and Dai would be the main character in the AU setting. Now, it's an OC characters who are the predecessor of Marisa and Reimu. I am going to add Rin Satsuki to the Reiyu and Hatsuma team but haven't got around to design her.

The setting itself is a 70-80s era Gensokyo with much of the places and notable locations intact, albeit with a better infrastructure. the best I can describe the setting is that it's an "urban, neo-eco industry fantasy". Where technology and nature co-exist with each other.

The story focused on the daily lives of Reiyu, Hatsuma and Rin solving incident around a changing yet familiar Gensokyo. I took liberty with the setting, and character interpretation but tried to stay true to the canon. Revamped the spell card rule and duel to be more "shonen"-like, There will still be danmaku of course.
