CRIMSON SUSPENDER SKIRT.

I am legitimately considering talking with Gomennasai about making that into a real shirt.

Do that and people will want the matching gangsta loli hat to go with it.

At that point we'd have to make the cell phone case as well. If we do, we do it.

Okay, let me see if I have this straight: Any original doujinshi done by artists Fakku works with (and obviously original manga) are fine, but we're gonna lose the parody doujinshi (stuff for series that already exist, e.g. Bakemonogatari, Infinite Stratos, Is It Wrong to Try and Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon)?

Not gonna lie, that's a downer.

It's unfortunate, but that is what will eventually happen before the end of the year.

Since Fakku has no aversion to publishing controversial content, is the plan to reinstate the relevant controversial tags as licensed material is added to the site?

Also as someone that was never really involved in this community it's interesting to see people react to the removal of unlicensed scanlations from Fakku. I understand the feeling of losing a community, that sucks; however, it's not as if these scanlations, particularly parody doujinshi, or the people responsible for them are going to disappear from the internet. There's hundreds of places to get scanlations, whether it's directly from scanlators' blogs, aggregation sites similar to Fakku, or other means. Currently, you could probably count the number of places you can get physical copies of tanks, magazines, or doujinshi in english (let alone uncensored) on one hand. I think there's a lot more value to consumers of hentai in what Fakku is trying to do now than what it was doing prior to the Wani agreement.

Okay. Is that why the video and games sections (which admittedly hadn't been updated in a while) are gone?

This is just a small question but:

Is it just easier to Nuke certain tags rather than sorting, finding, and blacklisting content in each one?

Cuz to be honest, I really miss Monstergirl...

That's what's so absurd about all the outrage. People are acting like they're customers and Jacob is deleting all the stuff they paid for, when in reality they were all getting it for free. I too understand being disappointed, but shouldn't fans of hentai be delighted that the Western market isn't being ignored anymore? Piracy might not always equate to direct harm, but it's certainly not going to grow an industry, not on it's own.

What about Mad Milk? Is there any way to get a liscensed version of that manga, as there's a shirt in the store (https://store.fakku.net/shirts-apparel/MEGA-MILK-Shirt) associated with it?

EDIT: Tiny Boobs, Giant Tits History is the actual one. Mad Milk just comes from it.

EDIT 2: I'm an idiot, it's Mega Milk.

I am less than happy that a number of my favorite reads have disappeared from Fakku. It wouldn't be so bad if I could remember those titles, but I can't. So please give me a way to retrieve those excellent lost titles.

These changes are drastic, and a lot is going on with Fakku at the moment. I am pretty disappointed in losing some of my favorite titles, but I can get behind a site like Fakku that is trying to follow the law to improve the site and avoid hassle from those pesky enforcement agencies (sarcasm).

I'll pay for this site just like I pay for CR, Netflix, and Funimation as long as it remains user friendly and enjoyable. I hope Jacob and the rest of the Fakku staff/associates manage to make the necessary changes while keeping most of the users happy.

With that having been said, please give me my old favorites back. Just the titles would suffice. There's one that I really want to read that I can't remember the title of and IT WAS SO CUTE.

I believe he's working on a tool to export the data for everyone. No expected release date of the tool though.

Well, farewell Fakku, it was a good run. There are way too many other sites with the same content that don't remove stuff randomly or charge to view so... I don't really know how this will succeed, but I liked this site for a long time so, good luck.
2
All this talk about doing it for the artists, does anyone know how the money split looks like? How much does FAKKU and Wani take? How much is left for the artist?
1
Honestly, while I understand him going to a business standpoint, I wish he had given us time to find our faves on different sites so we could still access them or etc so we didn't lose them permanently. Now I have who knows how many missing favorites, and I have no idea how to find them again. that's the only reason I'm ticked.
1
Just a few questions sorry if they've been answered,

Would parody doujins from artists who have worked with Wani or other licensed companies get removed?

Will this mean that Fakku will no longer support translation groups and force the translation groups to go away?

Is Fakku going to be seeking out other websites to get them to remove their unlicensed content or face a lawsuit?

Is Fakku going to prioritize getting newer content out first or will Fakku try to aim to get older fan favorites out?

Does Fakku have any plans or high priorities on getting classic doujins back that are removed as of now? (Mega Milk, for example.)

If one were to subscribe and get content by buying it, but later choose to not renew their subscription will they still have acess to the stuff they bought or other licensed stuff that was free for them when they subscribe?

Is Fakku going to be a monthly/yearly subscribtion or a one time payment for subscription and then no more fees to worry about for digital content?

Does fakku have simular plans for Doijin games too, in the future? (I feel many get unnoticed due to the difficulty of translating them.)

I have to ask what material is really counted as questionable when we are dealing with hentai to begin with.

How the heck is "Netorare" okay, but "Monstergirl" wasn't?
Oh wait, thats because there are official books with it! Silly me...
Diffrent things are subjectivly better/worse to diffrent people.
It should be fairly easy to add an advanced option that needs to be activated manually and consented too in the profil to view such material.

Well, after reading this and the comments of pretty much most of the last mangas, it seems it's time to jump ship, I hope that you will be able to support yourself with the money you make with the sales or subscription or whatever you decide instead of the traffic and ad revenue you had so far, it's a great site so it's a shame to see it go.

The only thing Im truly furious about is that a bunch of my favorites are completely gone, with no way to even see what the title was, I lost a good bunch of good manga, so I hope you are proud of what you did

If you ask me, that skirt should be a part of the t-shirt. Anyone who wants the shirt has to wear the skirt as well.

You've seen positive feedback on this, Jake. You know what you must do.
