Why do Reimu and Marisa have so much natural chemistry?

One is a girly girl with tomboy qualities and the other is a tomboy with girly girl qualities

One of them becomes a youkai in a official crossover and the other murders youkai.

I wouldn't say they really do. Unlike most friends in fiction, due to Touhou's 1:1 timeline they have actually grown up together for a long time.

They appear the most and appear often together especially in written works and have done so for 20 years. It's way more opportunity to develop them, craft actual personalities, dialogue and interaction for them as two best friends would. As opposed to a one-off or two-off character who's just a collection of lines with not much opportunity to develop them further.

Remember that time Reimu cared more about Kosuzu than Marisa?
This "ship" will always be "shit".

>>17442176
I'm glad that I'll never be this stupid.

You are so very like a little baby right now.
Ship Seija with...Squirrel Girl and then you can use that word.

>>17448546
Nue and Seija have never even met.

Reimu cares about the suze so much because she was dangerously close to disrupting Gensokyo's balance, and she's a young, innocent girl. Reimu would NOT want to have to pull a fortune teller on her.

Reimu knows that Marisa is responsible when it comes to that stuff. Even with Marisa drooling over the thought of immortality, it'd be okay, since she lives in the forest of magic, not the human village.

Kosuzu is for protecting. Marisa can handle herself just fine.

This. Reimu knows that Marisa can handle herself. I mean, she left Marisa in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost after waiting for her for a long ass time to no avail but Marisa is still fine in HSIFS.

That wasn't even Reimu who woke up from the drunken sleepy over, you've got to look closelier.
