I'd have no problem with Fakku merely publishing things uncensored when possible if it meant we could have a greater selection of content

Understandable, but it's a slippery slope. If we allow some to publish their stuff censored, chances are some older partners also want their content censored going forward. This is actually something we've discussed quite a bit internally. When we started out, I was more open to the idea of publishing censored content, but I've changed my stance on it over the years. For the foreseeable future, censorship will remain a deal-breaker for us.


I'm definitely against publishing censored content for the same reason YQII stated. That, and I don't want to see censored content. The censorship on some of the magazine content can get pretty bad. I remember some magazines from Core Magazine used to have censorship that was very minimal, the black bars didn't really cover much of the genitals. Then Core got in trouble with the law and they started applying that blocky mosaic censorship in their magazines which practically covers all the genitalia. And I know some other magazines have used/currently use that awful whiteout censorship. So I definitely don't want to see censored content.

Not to mention...

That said, I feel it is inevitable in the long run as long as Japan and the world continues down the road of making societies more liberated. Unfortunately, I still think it's a far way off. Any support we can garner here at FAKKU (or through any other legal companies) would likely help to show there is a huge untapped market, and I believe the success of hentai in all forms overseas will help to speed up the process domestically.

I feel allowing censored content would set us back in making this possible, even if it's a very long way off.

I'm pretty excited about Weekly Kairakuten, and it's nice to see that Europa and Koh are essentially continuing.

I think I have the Japanese version of this book. It'll be nice to have it in English.

Happy to see a Karma Tatsuro book get picked up!

It was only a matter of time that this would get released, but I still feel elated at the news. I love Homunculus' work. Definitely getting this.

I wonder if the new magazine has anything to do with this?

i would much prefer a fakku version, no drm and no reloging of steam account when you want to keep your hentai games secret


Same, except for the secret part. I just don't like DRM and I don't want to have to download some patch to get the compete game, so a FAKKU release would be great.

My question: if FAKKU were to reach out to the developer/localizer, offer the FAKKU storefront as a location the whole game could be released, do you think it would make a difference?

PS: The English title of this release is The Princess, The Stray Cat, and Matters of the Heart.


I'd love it if FAKKU reached out to the developers/localizers and offered to release the game on the FAKKU storefront. This really is a highly acclaimed game in Japan, and one I've desperately wanted to play in English (plus I think it's one of the very few good non-nukige VNs that has a kogal heroine). I'd even buy it if it still had mosaics. But there's no way I'd ever buy a butchered release, or a Steam only release for that matter.

I've known about the convenience store ban for a while, and I knew it was bad, but I didn't think it'd have this much of an effect. This also explains why I haven't seen anything about the next issue of X-Eros. Hopefully Wani is able to stay healthy and grow, and I'm really curious as to what this new magazine is going to be.
erolover Ero Maniac
I'd like FAKKU to focus on books because I love ero manga and I love owning physical copies and the quality of FAKKU releases is amazing.
erolover Ero Maniac
Excellent. Very excellent. Hopefully we get the new Homunculus book soon too.

Time to suggest more books I'd like to see get a FAKKU release. They are:







I'd also like to second these suggestions by Baka_Bishie:

I never really cared about genres and tags before, so I won’t start now.

I look for good stories, professional translations, and premium quality (physical books), add DRM free ebooks to that and I will be a customer for a long long time.

FAKKU checks off all those requirements, I genuinely look forward to any license that they acquire cause at the end of the day I just wanna read something that I can call “good”, and I can’t judge anything if I don’t read it.


Add art I enjoy, and this pretty much sums up my feelings about what I look for in English ero manga releases.

Also, I'm forever grateful to FAKKU for releasing Shoujo Material in English.

Anyway, a suggestion for those wanting non-vanilla books, instead of saying "I want more non-vanilla," suggest actual, specific titles you're looking for if you haven't already. There's a thread for that.

Tag Suggestion Guidelines
For books, make sure a theme is common throughout before suggesting it for the book itself. Go through the individual chapters first, and unless the theme can be found in at least 20-25% of them, it's not applicable to the entire book. Your suggestion will likely be rejected if we can't find 3-4 chapters with the tag.

A theme should be present during the main part of a chapter. For instance, if a character has a ponytail on the first few pages, but changes hairstyle after that, the tag is not applicable. Likewise, a side character with a ponytail who doesn't get in on the action does not justify the tag.


Apologies, but I'm a bit confused about how present a theme/sex act should be to merit tagging. For example, a chapter will be tagged "paizuri," and the act will happen for a page or two of the chapter. Yet based on this explanation it sounds like the tag wouldn't apply, but obviously it does based on the fact staff applied the tag in the first place.

Also, just to be sure, if a tag doesn't apply for a whole book but it does for one of the book's chapters we can still suggest the tag for that particular chapter, correct?

Will your Milkyway release have the cool transparent dust sleeve with Chie's underwear on it like the Japanese one did?


We dropped that and included the undersleeve artwork inside the book

That's a shame. The transparent dust sleeve is really neat. It reminds me of the transparent page in Shoujo Material. Was the transparent cover just too impractical or costly to implement for the ISHiKEi artbook?

The game and demo both have mosaics, but the art-book will be uncensored! I tried pretty hard to get the game uncensored, but I did not succeed :(


It's a shame the game couldn't be uncensored, but thank you for trying and for being transparent. I'm still holding onto some slim hope that the devs change their minds and the game can be patched to remove mosaics some time down the line.

is just the demo censored/with mosaics, or is the game itself going to have mosaics?


Considering the game is tagged "mosaics," and that this is NEKO WORKs we're talking about (they have a history of releasing games overseas with mosaics intact), I think it's a pretty safe bet that the full game contains mosaics.

That tanned athletic girl in the upcoming SAVAN chapter looks really cute. Also, happy to see more Reco.

It seems that Illusion was planning on releasing an English version of Koikatsu on Steam, but it was banned...

I really wish Illusion would consider releasing their games on platforms other than Steam. I'm not a fan of Steam because I abhor DRM, and I'm also not a fan of Steam's inconsistent policies on what games can be released on their platform. I'd really like Koikatsu to be released on Fakku instead.
