I'll look into this now and let you know

The cover image above is actually the original Japanese version (with our logo), where they chose to use the English word "bitch". Our final version of the title may change between now and when we release, for now we're using that.

Glad you figured it out! And I'm happy to hear it wasn't a problem on our end.

Since subscriptions launched we have released over 300 chapters for subscribers! Earlier today the new issue of Comic X-Eros went on sale at stores in Japan. We started working on it a few days ago and are going to begin releasing the chapters right now, starting with Winter Vacance.



Artists: Kiyoshiro Inoue (cover), Norinko, Amezawa Koma, Ayane, Hiru Okita, Mafuyu Hemp, Naganoro, Misa Wasabi, Shikkarimono no Takashi-kun, Rama,
Ikeuchi Tanuma, Imazon, Hiroyuki Sanadura, Tajima Particle, Nonaka Tama, Alp, Niro, Leli, Kito Sakeru, Heriyama

So you're a connoisseur of fine arts, very nice and respectable.

More magazine chapters coming later today! We'll always be releasing subscription content alongside the books.

New cover, here's Comic X-Eros #39! I really like this one

It's going to take some time to build up the catalog of content we have, but we're doing everything we can.

What does that have to do with anything? We removed all unlicensed content from the website which would obviously cause a huge drop in traffic and ranking across the board. In fact, it's going to drop even more than what Alexa is currently showing (and that is okay). Alexa ranking does not show how successful we are, in fact it doesn't show anything valuable at all. Plus the fact that you linked to one of those random website value generators further shows your lack of understanding, so I'll try to clarify.

To simplify this, we were previously receiving over 1 billion pageviews per month. If 95% of those users leave we would still be left with 50 million pageviews. According to the data you cited one user contributes about 450 pageviews per month (but we'll round up to 500), meaning if we lose 95% of our previous traffic we'd be left with 100,000 users who stuck around and most likely chose to subscribe. And that would be a massive success.

I'm sorry you weren't happy with what we are currently offering with the subscription, but comparing it to what was previously on FAKKU (all of which was unlicensed and by some measures illegal) is a stupid comparison. We intentionally made a decision that will hurt us in the short term in regards to traffic, but in the long term we will build up a base of dedicated supporters who believe in what we are doing; creating a long term sustainable market for Japanese artists to release their work outside of Japan.

We are going to achieve all of this without changing our release cadence much from what it was before when we were primarily hosting scanlations. Previously you'd only ever see a few pieces of content uploaded to the website each day. In fact the first year or so FAKKU was online I specifically only uploaded one piece of content per day. But because that had been done over the span of 10 years it amounted to a large catalog of unlicensed material. all of which was removed.

I intentionally pressed the reset button on FAKKU. For all intents and purposes we are treating ourselves as a brand new website, with new goals to achieve and new metrics to hit. The subscription gives you around 800 pages of new content per month which is about 4 books in total (this is in addition to the actual books we release). Each month that new content is added to all of the previous content, so every single month you get around 800 new pages of content + everything released prior. The subscription becomes more and more valuable as time goes on. All of this while directly supporting the artists we have been pirating from for the past 10 years.

We will be implementing a feature to let you "ignore" certain tags/artists/series/etc.

I have noticed that feedback on our posters, that they are too big. I haven't yet made a decision one way or another.

I suppose it is possible to turn them into actual posters... hmmm...

The correct answer is, Erased.

Each month we'll be releasing a few spreads from the magazines we publish. In the physical editions in Japan they are meant to be pullout posters, but since we can't do that here we will be releasing them as wallpapers for you to download. Here are some of the first ones!

If you click any of the subscribe links on a content information page, you will be redirected to login, which if successful will redirect you back to the piece of content.

I agree with tsujoi, the uncensored tag is a good example of something to show users the benefit of the subscription. Removing it is sort of like saying "lets remove the English tag" since everything is English.

And he is now banned.
