/myon/ - myon~

They both have their merits. Mio's is cute but he has this tendency to draw her freakishly tall which just comes off as odd in a lot of pictures. Nori does a really good job but there's a lot of little things I nitpick about the way he draws her. Mainly about her hair and how "shiny" he colors her for a lack of better word. I do like them both since they do plenty I can overlook these nitpicks in but it's easier to point out what you take issue with than what you like. I wish they'd both quit drawing so much ecchi of her. Both because she'd be annoyed about it and there's enough of it already.

I'm most fond of this guy's Youmu but he doesn't draw a whole ton of her and they're mostly plain-ish pictures.

I prefer Mio's Youmu, but then again: Mio-sensei's style hasn't changed since ~2009, whereas Nori-sensei's has changed a lot since 2011. I personally preferred his style from back then.

But both draw cute art.

I also respect Sazanami Mio for his loyalty. He's been drawing Youmu on a regular basis for more than 10 years now and that's quite the accomplishment, seeing as most of the old Youmu cluster from ~2010 is now gone (e.g. Mirino, Katanakko Daisuki, Oyaji Kusa, Rokuwata Tomoe, …).

Nori Tamago's stance is more complicated, since he always insists that he's actually a Yuyuko clusterfag who just happens to draw Youmu more often.

I don't even think that Mio's Youmu is supposed to be tall, just slender. She's still smaller than his Yuyuko and about six heads tall which is realistic for a Japanese girl.

Oh, and I appreciate the ecchi/fanservice as long as it doesn't go to far.

I agree, Rokuwata Tomoe's is the best.

He's always been a warship maniac though, so he was bound to neglect Touhou in favor of Kancolle.

He still releases a Touhou book once in a while, but there aren't any scans of his newer ones and he draws more Yorihime and Aya than Youmu these days. In fact, he hasn't drawn Youmu for about a year now.

Kind of sad seeing him lose interest in Youmu. He was the first to ever contribute a Youmu illustration to an official Touhou work other than Tasofro and ZUN himself.
