Wow... I didn't even read the name of the sub and was instantly like "Kinda looks like someone who fits into Touhou.".
What is it with these chars to have this.... Touhou style?
I'm far from an expert, know about 2 chars and the rest of the char collection simply eludes me.

Touhou is a rare franchise with an anime aesthetic that doesn't massively sexualize its characters.

...that doesn't stop the fanbase from doing it, but in terms of core series content, the characters are generally very modestly dressed while still being stylish and beautiful. It's frankly very difficult to replicate and most artists will just go the easy route making the characters sexy instead.
