[Naitou2 (F4U)] Interdimensional Brothel

FAKKU Translator
Every year, Wanimagazine hosts a party for all the artists they've worked with over the course of the year, and this time we were able to attend the party ourselves. We were given the opportunity to hold a speech (in Japanese) directly to the over 250 artist in attendance, and the response was great. Many people came up to talk to us us in person afterwards, and a lot of them are very interested in publish their works in English for the overseas audience.
We're hoping to release some of the first books from our new publishing partners in early 2017, and there are also plans to expand the subscription service further in the near future. In addition to that, we want to make a push for more doujinshi content. This is something many of you have asked for, and we know that a lot of artists want to publish their doujinshi works in English. As you know, collaborations have already begun with several artists and groups, and we have many more announcements on the way. Today, on the verge of Halloween, we're excited to reveal that FAKKU is going to release the doujinshi published by F4U!
F4U is a frequent contributor in X-Eros, and "Curiosity XXXed the Cat" was one of the earlier books we requested from Wanimagazine, so we already had a close relationship with them as we approached them about translating their doujinshi works—released under the circle name Naitou2. We've also met up with them in person outside the Wanimagazine party, and needless to say, they're happy to work together and are willing to give us access to all of their releases. Now generally speaking, due to the nature of self-publishing, certain releases could be in a state where it's hard for us to work on the source file, so whether or not we'll release all of an artist's previous works remains to be seen. In the case of F4U, we currently have a handful of books lined up for release, and the first one is the latest doujinshi that came out two and a half months ago during summer Comiket: "Interdimensional Brothel"!
Working on this release, I had some back and forth with the artist, and they shared some insight on the settings that I'd like to share with you as well. As the name implies, it's about a girl whose room is connected to other dimentions from which various creatures come to pay for her services. Each client comes with a stat sheet that shows two ratings: "money" and "weariness" in the original.
I asked F4U about this, and they explained this story has a game-like element to it. The first star-rating represents how much she's paid to be with the customer, and the second how much of a toll it is on her physically. There's a risk-reward system in play, and much like in many free-to-play mobile games, she has a finite "stamina" that is drained for every action in the "game." That's why when you see things like "State recovery!" pop up in the background, it's probably hinting towards her using a premium item to regain her "stamina" to keep "playing." In order to get this across, we decided to go with "Pay" and "Drain" for the two stats in the English release.
Even more special... F4U wanted to say something to his Western fans so check out the release page to see his comment!
Finally, I'd like to thank you for reading all this. I personally had a lot of fun working on "Interdimensional Brothel," and I hope you enjoyed our early Halloween release (come back Monday for more!) and show your support for it so we can continue putting out more works like this one in the future!

Yes, yes, and more yes. These direct collaborations and courting for official western releases fill me with joy. I feel this is just the tip of the iceberg and am bracing for more to come.
Thank you, F4U and FAKKU. My wallet may hurt but my heart won't.

However, just wanted to note that the "Purchase" link here: https://www.fakku.net/hentai/interdimensional-brothel-english did not work - clicking it didn't do anything. Maybe worth looking into?

You're welcome, I was in the same boat as you, took me a little while extra to find.

Very nice. One minor thing I noticed:
On page 6 the penis from the frog penis (lol) is still censored above the client data.
It doesn't do so with the other client data so I think it's a mistake somehow.
Maybe you could update that some time ;o)

Yuri and Traps FTW
It goes without saying Iam for it. As always, you need to work with peachpulsar. We need some Yuri. Would there be any chance of getting print copies of specific doujinshi if enough people ask? I would pay for it. looking forward to the announcements when they happen. Thanks Fakku

Thanks FakkuIts been asked before and i believe they said if it sells well enough they may do it but so far none of any doujins sold have done well enough to be made into a physical copy not that they've done bad just not to whatever degree they need it too.

All the doujins we got were for anime expo and whatever was left were sold in the store. The only one that fits that statement was Hanafuda and that didn't happen because Jacob couldn't figure a way to sell it without credit card payments. Just like ntr2.
Now the only other physical doujin not an exclusive for anime expo was woof's I wanna know which was the orginal japanese copy.
