Just because it's abyuse that doesn't mean they are the same story, and again this story is weird, too much random pee's and the yu in the corner gradually becomes distressed. I think Kiri is trying to somehow do the impossible and cram potential ff with potential abyuse, but at the same time denying both. I'll call it Kiri's experimental season.
FunkSoulBrother said: I'm pretty sure that was 'Shell'. At least the story appears to be going nowhere.
Going nowhere in which way? Because plot wise it's clear where it is going (Shell = Doll), if Kiri isn't working on it that's another story.

Yet stale and formulaic nonetheless.

Story? What story?

There's no abyuse here and I doubt he's building up to anything of that sort. Also, 'potential FF'? This looks pretty benign to me, unless you think small children should not be traumatized by watching pets do their business.

What kind of plot is that? Besides, I'm referring to some comment regarding Kiri himself stating that he doesn't know where to take this story, thus the lack of updates.
This is, Kiri's break, a simplistic and easy to make work for him, not a developd comic like Shell or his previous works. If it remain dubvious but non violent (shit and piss), or becomes grazing FF (the cuteness and niceness) or becomes abyuse (the distressed reimu wailing notoriously in the corner, for a proper pet yu book that's out of place, aside of the typical Kiri ultra moeblob moments.), it may depend, but we have hints of this going anywhere. But the most important think of this work is that it's simplistic as a way for kiri to do something while getting over his stress and headaches his real life work gave him (which is also the reason why he hadn't worked further with "Shell", real life being a bitch).
And seriously, stale and formulaic? Kiri's works being stale and formulaic? I could understand if they were some of the average "Home Invasion, Farm Invasion, etc." but Kiri's work go way beyond that, I don't see how you can see them as such, not liking them sure, but stale and formulaic?
I want too but that damned reimu in the cup and that one on the upper right corner. Dammit Kiri couldn't you do the book straight instead of this weird thing!?
. . .and maybe make the ko's more like Patchouli. . .that sure would make me take it easy!
oh no that reimu takes after the real reimu. imagine two lay good for nothing shrine maiden who allways complane about have no donation even though they both wait tell the very last minute to actualy get off there lazy asses. imagine both of them complanning about not haveing any-food because they have no money even though they would have money if they got off there asses and got real jobs instead of lyeing around bitching how hungry they are or how people keep brakeing into her shrine even though she could easly keep them out if she just properly worded the place or just strait up kill the robbers instead of just leating them run ruffshot over gensokyo....... sorry about that but i really hate reimu and marisa not just there yukkuris but the real people both of them are horriable people and deserve the enternal hell they shell more than likely be sent to upon there demise.
You only read the fandom material and non of the official, even if limited, material, right?
You shouldn't, that's everything that is wrong in the Touhou Fandom, taking the fanon too seriously, if we based on it, Gensokyo would be a crapsack world with horrible people that should be erased from existence since everybody there is a 2 faced monsters with a moe mask from time to time, that from times act cute and other times they are horrible people or monsters.

Kiri being tired of drawing abyuse is my personal conjecture, but given how Shell turned out so far, I'd say it's a fair assumption. At least I doubt he'd have trouble with the plotting if abyuse was what he was building up to. No idea how his personal life figures into this, but it doesn't concern the point I was trying to make.
In any case, I'm certainly not seeing any abyuse on the horizon here, it's not like Kiri's yukkuri need a reason to cry or soil themselves.
And seriously, stale and formulaic? Kiri's works being stale and formulaic? I could understand if they were some of the average "Home Invasion, Farm Invasion, etc." but Kiri's work go way beyond that, I don't see how you can see them as such, not liking them sure, but stale and formulaic?
I meant the abyuse theme in general, not Kiri's works in particular. Abyuse has become formulaic a long time ago, just think of all the tropes that make up the typical abyuse scenario (home invasion, home declaration, the shithead/nicehead dynamic, the way 'Scum' behaviour has been codified etc.)
Speaking of Kiri, I think his strong point is his art without a shade of doubt - imagine his stories as crappy pencil drawings, rather than professional manga and you'll see my point. When it comes to artists who are very creative when it comes to coming up with ideas and concepts for stories, look no further than remiryaaki or Warekara.
To be honest, I have this story idea in mind that I've been kicking around for a while, in part because I'm trying to jumpstart my own writing. An abyuse story that goes with a more, say, psychological focus. The only thing I have yet to make up my mind about, is how far I should go. Some of ideas are pretty evil - '120 Days of Sodom' evil, which be a bit too much for a yukkuri story.

They did seem to have some primal part in their mind that drive them to be like the real character. Like in this example, Reimu might be clueless about what's a "Mister Shrine" as well as Patchouli is clueless about "Great Library" or what reading book means, but they had that unexplainable desire that "something doesn't feel right if I don't have this".
This is Reimyu's Mister Shrine!Sometimes there will be competition for a Place and this can cause bad relationships among them. Better keep your eye on them.Patchouli types who love "reading" seem to prefer being on magazines or newspapers.
It'll be nice to know what each type is easily interested in.For yukkuri whose absolute neccessity is to take it easy, securing a place of their own where they can take it easy is a status symbol that shows the capability of an individual.
That's for yukkuri. Such "easy places" could be places that are nothing in the eyes of a human. Places like a slightly elevated ground, tight spaces, a corner that fits their size...
When they've declared "This is ×××'s easy place!", try to regard it as you much as you can.Yukkuri will feel Happyness! in the Easy Place that belongs only to them Welcome! to Patche's "Great Library"!
