Gonna come back from time to time to read the books I´ve purchased so far again but nothing else left here to do for me now, sadly as I am not going to pay 13 bucks every month, 10$ per book was nice and I´d love to buy the new Bosshi book but w/e I guess.


If 10$ per digital book was acceptable for you, 13$ for multiple books worth of new content each month should not be too much either.

I would love to subscribe, but currently I am in a bit of a bind with money, Fakku has always been a relaxation for me, but with the lack of content I can no longer us the site. I fear that sense I will no longer be using the site regularly, I will ultimately forget about it, and that is something I do not want happening.

As my mother used to say—if it doesn't work, throw money at it.

I respect your decision and I'm cool with it. Don't mind paying a fee for top hentai when I have money to spare. But dude I've been a member for over 7 years. All of my favs are gone. This is the only place I come to read hentai late at night and my history on this site is empty. It only have recent.

My first question is when everything is put back on the site will we receive it back on our favs list?
My second is when will fakku get an app?
Because that would be great.

Doujins being licensed are very unlikely at the moment.
You can get a list of your favorites from hitting the export button on your favorites page.

Goodbye Fakku, it's been a nice 6 year ride with you. With you removing free content I don't see a reason to continue coming here.

I've been a fakku fan for some years now, and I am willing to support this. However, $12.95 is pricey for just manga. Maybe if there were more contents like anime, videos, or colored version of the hentai. If so, you can have my money. But if not, drop the price in half.

The problem isn't the quality or quantity for most people like my self, it's the fact that it's just not what we want to read. $13 for 1 book we know we like is a lot better than the same thing for 5 or 10 that we don't. It's about personal preference, and it's not something that they can just go and fix with more of the same stuff they've got now.

Hopefully you'll feel it will be worth it to you once even more magazines are added to the subscription and the amount of content you like will be high enough for the price.

I think its safe to say at this point that a good handful of the ones opposed to this aren't of age. :^)


well, you are supposed to be an adult if you take part in such discussions... I'm 23, and I'm still opposed, but I hope most of my fellow opposers are of age xD

12.95 is too much?!!! I've spent in excess of $1,295.00 to buy physical copies of single tankobons... and personally i don't want to continue importing books. A single tank from japan averages $10 US not including shipping/proxy service. So the total can be anywhere from $15-20 NOT TRANSLATED OR UNCENSORED.... and with current trends with alot of the publishers the censoring is horrible. soo losing the 90% content which btw can be found elsewhere.... isn't bad at least the load time on the pages will decrease due to less traffic..

I would like to personally Thank Fakku for their years of service in providing me great content with minimal hastle. Year down the road now I can afford the sub and I don't mind buying the books. But an important note to take from this Fakku has earned that respect from me as a consumer. Keep up doing what you can as best as you can and my respect will stay with you always.

for you it's alright - for a majority of the willing ones it may be too much - remember, currency exchange + credit card payment are uncrossable barriers for some of us :

The deletion of all content may have been rather sudden, but this is a very good step forward for hentai in the west, even if some of us can't fit another subscription service's payment into our finances or if the "good" is not instantly apparent.
Be patient and support hentai where you can. The more support and licensing, the more we'll see and the cheaper it will eventually become. This is a very important turning point for hentai, in my opinion. And remember that many things have started out like this: anime streaming is one such thing, and hentai is even less respected and distributed, sadly.
I can't yet say what I think of the subscription service in its entirety, but I will say I am pleased and overjoyed by what Fakku has done with its Book publishing, which to this day leaves me surprised (Homonculus, Ishikei, and Napata uncensored in the U.S....and on my bookshelf in perfect quality!). Such things were never going to become real up until a few years ago. I hope to see that level of love and care put towards the licensing of other artists and their hentai (for the magazine subscriptions AND books to come).

Anyways, this is me offering a simple reminder to be patient and supportive of hentai, even if you can't afford it, don't want to pay for porn, etc. right now. Support where you can, and at least try to see the good that is possible. These are difficult, but great times, and I am eager and hopeful to see good things follow for hentai. Here's hoping I'm not the only one! Take care.

Now that my payment went through and I'm subscribed I can say. . . This was the best decision I've made in a while. Licensed or unlicensed I'm gonna stick with FAKKU!

Depends where you're from. I'm from Canada, and debit cards are Visa-enabled automatically now when you get a bank account. If not, you just go into your branch and ask fora Visa-enabled debit card and /gg. Also, here, at least in Canada, minimum wage is 11.75. The subscription translates into an hour and a half of work per month for many people. (Currency conversion) and most people should be fine with that. Even the subscription for crappy indie games on HumbleBundle is around the same price. ie: Pay $12 US to get 5+ games/mo that you'll never play just for epeen on Steam. People actually pay for this.
I work two jobs as an adult to support my habits that I know cost me money.

Jacob, as I said before I like the price of subscriptions to be 8-9 dollar, now I know from you previous reply that you are not going to change the prices, you said something about buying 9 months at once and getting lower prices like that.

What about taking the average number of subscription releases you guys do. take 25% of that and there you have a 3-4 dollar 1 month subscription. basically only giving someone enough unlocks for 1 month to unlock 25% of the stuff that comes in.
If that looks eligible I think you could look into 25% / 50% / 75% at 3-4 / 6-7 / 8-9 dollar subscriptions a month for people that cannot afford 12,95 a month.

But that are just my 2 cents.
