I've read a little of this, nice choice. The artwork is cute too, I'll have to save up for this one.

Will all of the upcoming manga and dojin releases be available in both digital and physical form?

Hey guys, thought I'd throw in a preview page on what I've been working on most recently :)

Punikano has been a lot of fun to work on, but it's definitely the most challenging manga I've worked on and I've learned a lot of new techniques to try and really push the envelope of making it high quality for all of you.

What makes Puni so difficult is the amount of stylization in their sfx and how graphic they are. It'd be lame for me just to put a basic sfx style next to it, I feel like the English has to hold its own weight in comparison. What also makes this book so difficult is that several chapters have so many (so manny... ;o;) bubbles that have a pattern to them, so I have to outright recreate the pattern because there's no way I can just half-ass-clone-stamp my way through it. Ultimately though I feel like I made a really high quality look with some tender-loving-care and attention to detail and I wanted you all to enjoy the fruits of my labor :)

PS @JuicyPorkChops: To answer your question, that would be a yes~

This page does a good job showing how drastically better the quality is when you're working with the original files as opposed to a scanned version. This is the scanned page:

Loving how the original files are looking!
Can't wait to purchase them.

Wow. That looks incredible! It must have taken hours (and hours) just to do that one page.

I've never seen so much detail given to SFX like that... can't wait to see the finished product!

Ziggy definitely has a knack for making things look good.

I'mma just leave this here for now~

*throws money at the screen*

Ohh this looks awsome! Will we be able preorder this one as well, or was that just for renai sample?
Also, my computer wants to auto correct renai into renaissance. *sigh*

All might not have a promo site or the same bonuses, but the ability to pre-order will most likely be there for all our future books. Pre-orders for Punikano will be up shortly after Renai Sample is released on the 26th.

awesome! ill be buying that one too.

Hnnnnn those horns.

You haven't even seen the half of it yet ;)

That is my question as well. I would rather purchase a digital copy for download and viewing on the fakku site.

Is this still scheduled for an October release or has it been pushed to November?

I'm 99% sure that's the case, but I don't think there will always be a physical+digital bundle. I believe it was said that they'll be separate purchases.

Some might not be available as physical copies, but the digital option will be there for all books.


We're making good progress on this book, so our goal is a late October release for the digital version, and then release the physical a few weeks later.


That's correct. The pre-order bonuses will not always be the same. Although, for this book, we're going to have the same offer as with Renai Sample (free digital when you pre-order the physical version)! Again, pre-orders for this will be up shortly after Renai Sample is released on the 26th.

This is quite disappointing, I always prefer an actual physical book.
