From C78, I saw a lot more non-H than H-doujins being sold.

About popularity of the characters, I think ZUN can be attributed to creating very distinct and colorful character designs. And, for Japanese who are more familiar with Japanese mythology, many of the Touhou characters’ backstories are very easily recognized.

In my opinion, Touhou isn't popular just because of "generic lolis in pretty dresses", the original girls' drawings from the games aren't even that pretty.I believe a great deal of Touhou's popularity comes from its open-endedness; the games give just a bit of backstory and character development, and the rest is up to the fans to make. The games' creaor, ZUN, even encourages derivative fan works. Combine that liberty with nice music, a giant cast of female characters from which there's at least one you'll probably relate to, and there you have it: thousands of remix CDs, doujin games, animations, doujinshis, and of course, hentai doujins, loads of it. And the fanbase grows and fuels itself, and it goes on and on...The games are quite fun too, if you're into bullet hell shooters. I beg to differ.

A game full of generic lolis with more than probable subtext and 'pwetty dollish dresses'? What's surprising is that it wasn't virally marketed to start with! I was in Japan four months ago, and EVERYTHING was about generic lollis in pwetty dresses; anything that held even a distant similarity to that formula=INSTANT SUCCESS OMGAWD. The japanese are crossing an "oh, do I love moe or what" phase now, and it cna be easily sene by what animes have more success In contrast, Hetalia's old, less than pretty drawings gaining popularity is more surprising. With time, the author has improved greatly, but there's no denying that those first fatty mishappen Italy and Germany were hardly bishonen material, no matter how endearingXD As an anime fan and a Hetalia fan, I have to say that, looking at that pic, Touhou success isn’t that surprising.

Historical=cannon in Hetalia. Plus I think people just like making up some crazy pairings.... *cough* Anyway, other than the point that I have no idea what Touhou is(yes, I do live in my own bubble, why do you ask?), a lot of shows/animes/movies/whatever are fueled by the fans. I would have never even heard of Hetalia if I hadn't seen fanart on dA. And that was before the giant fanart boom on deviantArt.Interesting plot....Large fandom. If you have those two boxes checked off, you're good to go. Yup~ Kiseki’s first reply on this post pretty much summed up what I was going to say. Historical=cannon in Hetalia.

Excellent word choice. xD I have nothing to add except that I love that it is described as a “phenomenal” amount of porn. Excellent word choice. xD

That was some time in the summer last year, and now the number of entries for Hetalia is almost double the amount of the ones for Vocaloid. While Touhou is still wayy ahead by more than double the amount Hetalia has, it's slowly catching up...On an unrelated note, the Pokemon tag was not 6th when I last remembered it...
