Happy Marriage
LOL "Harpy Marriage" :dummy:
I went crazy with the shiny. I'm sorry.
Most of the Japanese yokai monsters are only shown to be one gender (Unlike the Nordic monsters who more often than not has big families) but for some reason especially the tengu's private life has been the source of great speculation. None of the old stories explains where tengus come from, they are always male and there are no stories of them having intercourse with human women, so it has been speculated that the tengu women look so different that they are considered a different race, or possibly that they live far away from the men.
I joined the two theories with the harpies. They are only female but are said to get pregnant "from the wind", and tengus are said to be the masters of wind.
Case solved!

Well, maybe not to us, but from the Harpy's View, he's got blazing red skin, arms, and an uber long nose, whereas from tengu's point of view, she's got no arms, only wings, and has very pale skin and talons for feet.

Tengu (as in the kind portrayed here) are commonly said to have been warrior or buddhist monks, who had either been cursed by their peers or become to arrogant and overly confident in their skill, thus transforming into a tengu, explaining why there are only men. This is only one explanation though; others do exist.
Other types of tengu, e.g. the karasutengu, had female counterparts.

One thing I've always noticed about this comic is the fact that the angel only seems concerned with the tengu's sexuality, rather than his happiness, and i think that's an interesting metaphor about catholicism in general
