Doujin developer Frontier Aja has released Koumajou Densetsu II: Stranger's Requiem, the "Touhouvania" sequel to its Castlevania clone series, at Tokyo's Comiket fair. There's a free Japanese demo available, and apparently an English/French translation for the full game.

Though it's a shameless knock-off of Konami's vampire-killing series, taking heavy inspiration from Castlevania's visual style, music, and gameplay (the level designs are more linear like the older titles), it features some great art from Banpai Akira and voice work from professional actors who've contributed to anime shows like K-On!, Lucky Star, and Stirke Witches).

The demo is available to download through Frontier Aja's blog, though other portions of the developer's site seem to have trouble loading. You can check out some video and promotional artwork for Koumajou Densetsu II after the break:
