Pre-order delayed?Pre-order... has begun!
Sorry but is there no more standard shipping or is that a glitch in the store.
Yeah I am not seeing Media mail as an option for this book, however if I try to buy another it works fine.
I read through Animefreak's post a few times before saying this but he never accused you of saying the Sub should be free.
On the other hand he did mention a few points to support why the $13 price point has been working, i.e. FAKKU still counties to grow, if they were in the red they would have lowered the entry sub price long ago.
The fact that they are hiring more staff, and expanding their territory within the international Hentai game is proof that what they are doing is working.
Also you were very vocal to point out that the sub only gives you access to a limited amount of porn. Is there truly anything in this world that gives you access to something unlimited?
Whether you subscribe to Hulu, Netflix, Crunchyroll, etc. You will never have an unlimited amount of things to view.
Also your use of the word "inevitable", just hit me the wrong way, to say something is "inevitable", means that it will happen no matter what, but as history has shown prices of Subs, and just general products tend to always go up. Netflix has done away with their entry level Sub, Hulu introduced a more premium Sub, and Crunchyroll has done the same. As more variety of content becomes available, it may make more sense to increase the price. However Jacob has stated several times before the sub will NOT increase. However if I am wrong and the sub price does go down then I will accept that, eat crow, and I still win cause I will pay less.
That aside while I won't argue that they are doing the free trial slightly early in the Subscription's life, people have been screaming free trial and free content since before all the non-licensed content was even removed. They have given out a few free chapters here and there for special occasions, and now they are being more aggressive about it. This was also a way to collect large amounts of data for how to handle the free trials, there's more to it then, "oh damn no one is subscribing, let's give everyone fee access, and see who joins." No matter how many people subscribe to any subscription based service they will always try to acquire more people to subscribe. That's the nature of any business in the entire world.

Maybe it's just me but I'm having a hard time finding this after it moved off the front page. Is there a page that has all of these on them? They only appear in the book section of your profile after buying them, which I'm thankful for.At the moment there is no separate section on the main page for Dojinshi, however there is a separate section on the FAKKU Store
The top spot goes to First Client by E-Musu Aki
An extremely close second place was already mentioned but i will mention it again, cause it is that good Half Joking, Half Serious by Ohkami Ryosuke
Third place goes to Studio of Thorns by Homunculus
and i wanna give an extremely loud shout out to WHite Disease by Yaya Hinata - The feels are just so real with this one. Even though it is not my top pick i highly recommend anyone and everyone read that chapter.

what is this "Content does not exist." thing is some things not shown in some countries or what??All the content is still there just go into your settings then go to your user preferences and switch "show controversial content", from "No", to "Yes".
Will tickets for the autographs be handed out on Saturday and Sunday respectively, or can we also get them Friday?

Man, I'm not even a huge fan of his artwork but I really appreciate what Jacob is doing so I might go for one of these. Does the $160 tier come with the signed first volume or is that only limited to the now sold out < $100 tier?
I am like 99% sure that the signed copies only apply to the particular signed book tier, only cause then Maeda-Sensei will have a seemingly endless amount books to sign. Again just 99% sure so at any time I can be proven wrong.
On a side note I just had a thought for the people just getting the full digital set could you also include a digital signature from Maeda-Sensei, Kodansha did the same thing with the author of Yamada-Kun and The Seven Witches, Yoshikawa, Miki-Sensei. They have the option of paying $1.00 for the signature to appear on an app they had launched when they brought her to America for a panel. I just thought it would be more of an incentive if they recieved a Digital copy of his signature, and might steer more people into upgrading to the full digital set, rather then just volume 1.
It's great that more Japanese artists are changing their views on the western audience, I hope that in the future when several more Doujins are available on the site you would consider compiling them into a full compilation book, with Doujins by various artists.
I just feel that is more feesable then picking a select few and printing hard copies.
Really looking forward to see what the rest of 2016 has in store for FAKKU. (Insert smiley face)

I am going to assume that the Art tier also includes all the books signed. Just like that new $500.00 which was just added.
starting the kickstarter 10 minutes early, good thing i was camping the page, otherwise i might have missed the signed book tier.
When all the books get unlocked and they release a Full volume signed book tier i will up my pledge.

Sorry I have no idea I haven't looked at any scans, also this book doesn't come out till the 21st of this month. I only post book suggestions based on Author. However look at this Preview Image of one of his chapters avilable on FAKKU via subscription.

How much will this be selling for?My guess would be 30 bucks as all books together have a similar page count as XXX Mix and I would say the "box" is a single book that contains all chapters.
According to the AX post the Box seems to be like a slip case which holds all the individual doujins and although $30 sounds great I just have this feeling that it will run more, but that's just me thinking out loud and nothing more. And regardless of price I will be picking one up.
