Our party on Saturday night hit max capacity on the rooftop and the venue wouldn't let anyone else get in after 10PM or so.
If you were impacted by that send me an email and we'll take care of you jacob@fakku.net

Good news! We set aside a small number of physical MEME50 Box sets for users that couldn't make it to Anime Expo. Those will be made available on the store at a scheduled time sometime in the future (we'll post in this thread when we have made that decision).It will also be made available for digital purchase.
Will those of us who went to AX and purchased the physical box set have to double dip for the digital version? If not, how would that work?
Nope! If you bought the box set at Anime Expo we'll hook you up with the digital edition when it's available, more on that later.

I'll be attending this year and I have a few questions about the MEME50 signing:Can I bring my own book to be signed?
Should I cover parts of the book up before bringing it to the con?
Would it be possible to have both books signed?
Can't wait for the con! The MEME50 Box is mine!! ヽ(°ã€‡°)ﾉ
As long as it's an official MEME50 work (doujin are okay), bring it!
Amakuchi, the author of Foxy Rena, tweeted out this FAKKU version of Rena! If you like his work, be sure to follow him on Twitter @amakuchi49407

Excitement has overtaken me. Because this is from a new Publisher will the trim size of the book be any different.
I know that FAKKU mimics the japanese version (except being in English) but does LEED publish books in the same format as Wani?
I'm really excited for this one as well, and it's the same size as our other books!
FAKKU Exhibit Hall Booth
At Anime Expo 2017 we will be debuting the MEME50 Box, an exclusive set of MEME50 doujins which includes a brand new comic never released in Japan!

Ahead of our announcements for Anime Expo, we wanted to give an update on some of our previously revealed titles. While most of these updates will be welcome news for our readers, regretfully, we have to share some bad news ahead of all the good news we'll be announcing at Anime Expo. At the end of this post I touch briefly on our progress the past 1-2 years and how things are setting up for the future.
[Namonashi] NTR²
First, we have made the unfortunate decision to drop NTR² from our lineup. While FAKKU is committed to release all of the books we announce, unforeseen circumstances have forced us to strike this book from our catalog.
This was an extremely difficult decision to make, as it was a title we revealed to some fanfare when it was announced. However, we were not able to overcome a number of hurdles to get this book published. From payment processing troubles to difficulties finding a printer to print the book, the issues were so significant they became complete hindrances preventing this project from getting completed in a manner that would be acceptable by our customers.
Fortunately, the artist understands this decision, and is no stranger to the controversy surrounding this particular title, as the title has experienced some push-back even in Japan. Therefore, we have begun talks into the publishing some of the their doujin works (written under the circle name RUBBISH Selecting Squad) to compliment the skateboard collaboration we did last year.
[Marui Maru] W Yome Sand
While not as controversial, we’re also making another change to our lineup. W Yome Sand, a title we had announced last year, had already been given an official English language release by another publishing service. This was known to us when we picked up the title, but at the time we made the decision to go forward regardless.
However in the interest of helping publish even more hentai manga in English (and not doing the same work twice), FAKKU has decided to swap this title with another more recent book by the same artist. We’ll be sharing more details about Marui Maru this later this year. Stay tuned!
[Itou Eight] Retsujou Mixture
Previously announced for release in 2017, we will be rescheduling Itou Eight's Retsujou Mixture for sale in early 2018.
[The Amanoja9] T.S. I LOVE YOU EX1
Representing another new genre we are publishing, we're happy to announce that this release is not far off! We currently have a few books that are in queue to be released before this, but we plan to have this published by the middle of summer. We're also working very closely with the artist on this release, and we are planning to have a new foreword written by the author as an exclusive to the English release of this book.
[Toshio Maeda] Legend of the Overfiend
We are happy to reveal the cover of the second volume of this cult classic! This erotic sci-fi adventure will continue this summer and will appropriately feature a beach chapter! Furthermore, we are on track to release the remaining two volumes over the second half of 2017 (as promised on our Kickstarter). So for collectors of the series, expect to complete this four volume series before the Christmas holiday.
Going forward and upcoming announcements
2016 was a period of growth and development for FAKKU, and one of the growing pains experienced over that time has been how best to schedule announcements and releases. A number of licenses were acquired during that period, and as many of our customers know we have been steadily, but in some cases slowly, going through that growing catalog.
Going forward we don't want to announce anything without a solid time plan in mind, and the reason we can give an estimate for the handful of books above is due to how we finally have a working internal release schedule. Over the last few months we've made many improvements to our book production process, making it more efficient as well as more structured. If we keep on with the current trajectory, it might be possible to shorten the window between book releases, meaning titles like these would get an earlier release than expected. Of course, we can't make any promises, but we're in a better spot than ever before when it comes to books.
As noted above, as part of our road map to success, the remaining three volumes of Legend of the Overfiend will be released in 2017, and these will be additional releases outside of our regular ero manga schedule. Including our most recent release, Melty Maiden, we have 11 more titles planned this year, all adding up to an average of two books per month for the rest of 2017.
We have a lot of exciting news coming up over the course of the next month. There’s a sneak peek coming later this week with our Anime Expo preview, and it all culminates at the actual event in early July. We’ve learned from our previous mistakes, and most of these big announcements will become available for you this summer, so we hope you look forward to hearing more about what we have planned for books, magazines, and other projects!

Apologies for the necromancy, but...I have one, and only one issue with the re-design
The read later function.
The old design I could go straight to it with the menu - but now there's no link to it from the account drop-down.
I can live without the button, but having the extra navigation step is annoying at best, and mood-killing at worst :/
I'll look into making it easier to access, still tweaking things all over the place with the new design

That's awesome!! Are there other fakku books authored by women?Yes, there are! Though the only ones who are public about it are Mojarin and Cuvie, the rest you'll have to use your imagination~

Glad to see the new batch of shirts in from.... that one con....I finally have my NaPaTa skull shirt and can now go pick up dates with my quality dress. This baby is officially one of my pussy getting shirts along with my Shintaro Kago tees, because the women love a guy who wears blatantly pornographic or gory weeb shirts! Don't worry, I'll be working hard to make all us Japanese culture aficionados look good.
And we'll be announcing some more soon!
Thanks for bringing this to our attention! This, and other pages with the same issue, have all been fixed.
As was previously stated this was delayed due to the conventions this weekend (not an excuse, just the reason). I'll do my best to get these downloads online tomorrow, I don't want to keep you all from your high quality downloads for much longer.
