Doujinshi Pricing Adjustment (Old Content)

We're adjusting the price point of some of our older doujinshi releases (pre 2022) by the end of the month. This only impacts FAKKU published content that was localized by us. Third party publishers using the FAKKU platform for distribution set their own prices, so we're only updating our own catalog.
When we first started releasing doujinshi six years ago, we decided on a one-size-fits-all kind of price model of $5.95 for every release. In reality, it fits most but certainly not all releases. Majority of doujinshi fall into a natural sweet spot of 20-40 pages (fun fact: the average FAKKU release is 34.5 pages long), but some don't even break into the 20s while others are pushing triple digit page counts. This model also doesn't take into account the content itself—an obvious example of this being full-color releases having a higher value than their black and white counterparts.
In order to present a more fair price model for all parties, we introduced a new system with the start of 2022 that prices content on a scale. While length is a starting point, each release is evaluated based on various factors and has the final number adjusted. Ultimately, this is an effort to make the amount you pay better reflect the value you get from the product. We believe it accomplishes this, so now we want to expand this system to our back catalog.
Again, the original price was chosen based on what we perceived to be the "average doujin," and sure enough, only a few releases will have their prices adjusted, most of which by a very slight amount. Below you'll find a complete list of all the impacted items followed by their new prices after the update.
These new prices will come into effect on September 30, 2022. Please note that the change will happen at some point during the workday (US West Coast), so the 29th is the last day you're guaranteed to find the content at the previous price, and all listings will be updated by October 1st.
