[Toshio Maeda] Legend of the Overfiend

Thank you Jacob for the update.
I'm so exited, can't wait.

But it's still the cover artwork without nipples. Is this the final version?
I like the one with nipples a little bit more ;o)

So for next update, that'll be when the book is ready for release? so I guess it'll be like end of the month or something.

Ok, won't be there for signings but hey, maybe Toshio will get invited in France again.

floating world in chicago? it's only an hour and half away if that's the case.

Portland most likely.

It's exciting that this release is getting close. But am I understanding this correctly? There is going to be a release event but backers havent received any information about their copies? Did I miss an email?

If it's been recently organised, they must be waiting for more info to come before announcing it to backers.

Thanks for the information. I don't understand that tho. I thought the targets are people who like stuff like that which does include nipples.
The other cover artworks for your books have them as well so that's what I'm wondering.

It would be nice to have the cover artwork with nipples for the download versions as an alternate or just the pic in the forum in the same quality so you can change it yourself if you like.

Or you could print it without nipples on a card to place on front of the shrink-wrapped manga and if you remove the plastic you have it uncensored on the cover itself, just a suggestion ^_^

Toshio is coming to visit the FAKKU offices in December! He'll be doing the book signings here in person along with some other stuff we haven't announced yet, maybe we should do a live Q&A with him or something?

My suggestion: Let him sign some extra copies and give them away randomly to people who buy the book in the online store



We want nipples!

Oh and to followup on this, we'll include the raw cover (with nipples) in the digital edition!

How about the non kickstarter preorders?

I see volume 1 has been posted but it's telling me I need to purchase it even though I've already paid for it from the Kickstarter. Is this something you will be updating so those of us who backed it can read it?

Yeup, we're updating everything now! If you backed the Kickstarter, don't purchase the digital edition on the site. It will be added to your account between now and the release date. We'll either do it automatically based on email, or send out redemption codes to each backer (probably this one).

Bought vol 1.

I don't know how kickstarter usually works as this was my first time.
But, is it an usual thing to have retail price being cheaper than kickstarter pledges for the same item?
The kickstarter price for digital version was 15 dollars, and physical was 40 dollars, while non kickstarter prices are 10 and 30 dollars respectively.
I thought it would be the other way, giving some incentives for the backers.

Along with the other items in the Kickstarter, we'll be giving out digital achievements here on FAKKU and other rewards that only Kickstarter backers will receive so you feel like being an early backer was worth it. It's thanks to the backers that we were able to publish this book!

How do we get our free digital copies for supporting the kickstarter? Cause all I see on the Fakku page is the pre-order button.

The Kickstarter Update #6 said the following:

"As we near the paperback release we will be sending out a survey for shipping information and gathering what we need to handle the rewards. At that time we will have some add-ons available for anyone who wants to add more to their order. This will include some Legend of the Overfiend items along with some other titles we have published."

I just wanted to ask what happened to the whole add-on part of the survey?

Also for people who got the signed copy is it possible to request where the signature will be? (I really wanted it directly on the cover)
