It's like Japanese artists think it correlates with height or something, I dunno. I haven't had occasion to mention it beyond noting that she's built like a brick overpass, but ours is... proportionate. :)

Not gonna lie, that bit is one of my favorite scenes thus far, partly because it has some of the best lines (IIDSSM), but largely because it dismantles both the "Sakuya can't handle relationships" thing and the "Remilia is a cruel and capricious boss, especially to Meiling" thing, both of which dog the Touhou fan works continuum like dark matter.

That poor guy in the Colmar mairie. He thought the vampire walking in off the street and telling him straight-up "I'm a vampire and my birth date is in 1503, which is why I don't have the piece of paper you want" was a strange evening at the office...

"Occupation: Dragon"

(I can easily see Meiling taking the line that it's not one woman marrying another because she isn't a woman. It wouldn't work, but I can easily see her taking it. :)
