Mind you, calling "sane" to the human who  decided to work as a maid in a mansion with two loli vampires, hordes of faeries and a wizard that likes to read books about how to cook humans, and said maid's idea of diplomacy being "stab first, ask questions later" (she's the one who insists on tackling Keine in IN and everything, and the Judge of PoFV insists she needs to be less stab-happy)... May be kinda of a stretch, even by Touhou standards.

True. Its basically that none of the humans we went there can be considered the 'normal' humans the Moon is a hazard to.

They are, of course, completely different things.

It's pointed out in SSiB that the lunarians have both high magic and high tech and know how to combine them. Making them the most hax force of all of Touhou verse. No wonder even Yukari can't hope for anything better than stealing their booze even when rallying almost all other Touhou factions behind her.

The nuke-fan and god-sword are other good examples of their magitech.

Thus youkai may attack humans but do not eat them for no apparent reason. Humans from the town are generally not for their eating under the contract.
I guess Catch-And-Release is how it works for the most part. Sorta like ritual wargaming.
Quote
It was....tax collecting....
Quote
Those vampires have the spirit that I've forgotten. The feeling that the humans outside have begun to forget about, and the feeling that shikigami whose thoughts centered around efficiency despised.

-The fun that would come from travelling in a poorly-built rocket and feeling miserable. Something that came from an easy and short method had no meaning to it. It was the spirit of enjoying hard work.

Long-living humans and youkai often forgot that soul, but the vampires still had a strong memory of it. That was why they neglected to go to the moon using my powers and insisted on going to the moon by their own hand.

Quote
To trap the youkai that could use the border between the image of the full moon and the actual moon to cross...alter the time the moon is full.

Plain lazyness? They aren't exactly geting paid for it after all. Just like  the characters in the comic are too lazy to fly and just walk/run everywhere (faeries jogging? In frilly dresses?? In the middle of the forest??? :psyduck )

Also no big suprise in Marisa being the resident mushroom specialist.

It's more the RAW availability, I believe. The Touhou mangas don't exactly appear in Shounen Jump. I know that WaHH Chapter 3 was actually translated from a Chinese hard translation rather than the original Japanese RAWs because they just couldn't get their hands on them. If it were just laziness, you wouldn't see Gaku and umad putting out translated doujins by the score.

Frilly Dresses have neither ACP, Max Dex nor speed reduction, silly.

I'm more amused by Marisa basically going:

What? Why didn't anyone tell me? You guys know I can somewhat decipher Japanese. Then yeah, it's probably "laziness", more likely "other things to do". Breaking the law isn't exactly high on many people's list of priorities.

At least WaHH 4 is translated, though, just not cleaned and edited yet (which really is the greatest pain in the ass about translating stuff). I have a translated script here on my drive, and have had it for a while.

More like "even if you die of food poisoning, it's not exactly permanent".
