Pardon my silly question but I wanted to ask if there are plans for the book called Summer Love Geek Girl to be reprintedThe publisher no longer wants their content published uncensored, so this and other titles from them won't get a new print run until that changes.
We did order a big batch ahead of this going into effect, but since that was years ago, those have long since sold out.

Hi, regarding the problem with the publishers and the uncensored material...
Is "kogals, sluts,.... etc" from Gujira and "bullied revenge hypnosis" from aiue, having the same problem or we can expect reprints in the near future?

It's showing that the paperback is in stock on the page. Might want to take a look at it if you are truly sold out.

Metamorphosis Paperback will be available for sale by March of next year (at the latest).
As for other reprints, we are definitely in need of a lot of great titles. My department with books has been working very hard this year "normalizing" itself with the new printer that we started working with at the end of 2023. While we were able to get a number of things printed this year, the process definitely needed help. It's a big undertaking for a printer to understand the exact needs, and I'm confident that we have the process down. We have a few batches of books going right now and the process has been much quicker and painless as we understand what each side needs to move more efficiently.
Right now my priority is catching up with our new releases. As I'm sure most of you have felt, the time length to receive a book from preorder is long.
My goal for next year is to have all 2024 books in production by May 2025. That means that by October at the latest all 2024 titles should be in the hands of customers. This won't happen all at once, as we are going to be steadily supplying projects each month to keep books in different stages of production.
That means during 2025 by the end of the year I actually anticipate getting to begin working on 2026 titles before they even become available for preorder, which sounds wild - but it's something that I'm very excited about. My top priority is lowering the waiting window between preorder and release.
As for reprints, because I'm aggressively going to be tackling getting caught up next year now that the system is in place, reprints will be few in between aside from some of the biggest sellers, but it won't be until May/June 2025 that you see more than 1 reprint being worked on a month.
I think it's important for us to have a healthy flow of books coming in that people have paid for in order to minimize the wait time, and I want to prioritize that for the customers and my team has a full timeline laid out on exactly how we want to tackle that for the coming year. I know it's had to be frustrating, and hopefully in the coming months people will be able to see the flow that is happening.
Thanks everyone for all your support, I'm excited to make more and more porn available to you all!

Will there be any reprints for GYs books? The only thing I see are resellers selling it for 200+ USD on Ebay and Mercari.

Since recently released Fakku books have censored covers now, how will that effect reprints of books released before this change came into a effect? Like would an eventual Viewer Discretion Advised by Yuuki Iwasaki have its cover how it was originally or changed to fit the new standard?
I know Juicy Tits by Kon Kit hasn't sold out yet, but if it does and if it gets a reprint, will the reprint be more in line with the Netorare New Heroine by Kon Kit print, i.e a thicker book with better paper quality. Even the spine design in the Juicy Tits thread looks slightly different than the actual book, probably to account for the book being thinner?

Our goal is to get to the point where covers are going to be SFW even in reprints by working with the artist. This isn't a design choice made because we don't want lewd content, but because of pressures from outside distribution. It's a problem even Japan is facing now and in the future we may find they also lightening up on how explicit the front covers are.
With that in mind that does not mean we want fans to miss out on content, artists work with us and create variants for the SFW covers. Fleeting Beauties, Bunny Mating Season and Sex Spree Saga are some of my favorite variants' made by artists for covers. However, inside the books the original artwork that was on the cover is provided in pinup style without any text on them so you can see the original artwork in all its glory.
As far as book quality goes, while two years ago we did experiment with different paper types with different printers, we were able to go back to our normal specifications for books, so Juicy Tits when reprinted would go back to the normal paper stock that you're familiar with.

We should have this title by summer time at the latest, once it's further along in the print process I can give a more accurate ETA
