I chose in the 11 range for when I actually knew it was 'anime' and Sailor Moon, and Dragon Ball Z weren't just 'cartoons' because I watched that stuff way earlier than what I knew what it was.

So I was kind of surprised to find Velvet Kiss listed on Barnes & Noble's website as well. No offense intended to Fakku, but because I have a B&N member's card, I think I'll order it from there because I'll get free express shipping, if it doesn't get removed for being, well, porn.
Wow I'm actually surprised to see that they would sell it. After seeing that I went to Books a Millions web site and they are also selling it but even more surprising was that they have volume 2 available for pre-order and shipping on november.
Will FAKKU! have volume 2 available as well??
I'm actually still working on Volume 2 (have it open now working on it) I can't speak for Jacob as to when it'll be available to preorder, but it'll be on here for sure!
Ah I see. Just out of curiosity is Project-H also behind the releases being sold by these major retail stores? personally if there was the difference I'm almost certain you guys would have a better translation =P
Project-H is the licensing company that goes to the Japanese publishers and buys rights from them. Once they have rights then they get localizers like us who translates and typesets etc. They get the books together and put them out on the market. Least that's my understanding of it - it's more than likely much more complicated then that :)
And don't get us wrong - we strive for a professional taste with translation, but we were pleasantly surprised with the translator for Velvet Kiss through Project-H that was hired for that volume.
LD was the original translator in Soba-Scans for the scanlated version, and he took the role as the "editor" for the licensed version and was able to change the script as he felt needed. It was a good learning experience to see an actual professional translator translate something, but it was also nice being able to change things as needed to make sure the original tone was still there.
LD got to translate Volume 2 as well as all the Koi wo Suru manga and completely redid the scrips with the focus of making it more professional to stand up to the upgrade Volume 1 of Velvet Kiss had. We're really looking forward to producing something we cared so much about in even higher quality.

I love Velvet Kiss but I want to make sure that ALL 4 volumes are licensed and translated. I just don't want to buy something halfway done.As far as licensing go, they just got the rights to Volume 3 and according to their Twitter they're in the process of getting the rights to Volume 4 :) so I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I woke up suddenly in the night with a cramp and had to carry that all throughout the dayI fucking hate when that happens. Fun fact: if you get a cramp in the leg, eating a spoon full of mustard really does the trick.
My insignificant dislike today - it not being Friday and having to repeat another day of work.

Don't want to nitpick, but in order for us to appreciate the size of the books, it would be nice to have a pen photographed with them...I don't have an image for you since I'm awaiting mine in the mail myself, but if you want dimensions of what an A5 format is: 210 x 148 mm and 5-7/8 x 8-1/4 in
Sorry, getting the out of stock even with your link.

I don't need a discussion on this topic on whether or not loller's behavior is appropriate.
I'd rather stay on topic where Harumi Chihiro gets her debut release to the English readers of the world and answer questions regarding the volume etc.

When it comes to licensing additional volumes, it comes with sales. So as long as people who support the manga and enjoyed the scanlation take the time to support it officially with some cash - then there would be no reason additional volumes wouldn't be licensed.
As for Volume 2 - I'm typesetting that now :)

June 27th 2012 is the official launch/ship date for Velvet Kiss Volume 1!
Jacob will be running around like a madman getting all the copies shipped out to the many people who purchased them as you can see from the photos in this topic!
Don't miss out on the last day you can purchase the volume for only $10.00!
Not only is it ~200 pages long, Project-H produces their books in an A5 format which is similar to the size of a doujinshi (or graphic novel if you're more familiar with their sizes). AKA nice big thick pages!

I'm really excited about being involved with the project and getting a chance to promote something that will directly impact Harumi's success with her great works and also contribute to FAKKU!
I hope you all enjoy the book, I can say with confidence that everyone who contributed to the book put their absolute everything into it <3
Check out some images Jacob posted of the book:

So since I'm new here I'm kinda curious about everyone and would like to get to know them better. I was just curious about what kind of lives hentai obsessed boys were. You guys have any big plans for the future?I'm fresh out of high school and starting my first year of college in August. I wanted a biology major, but that changed. Now I'm general studies *but still got my bio class <3* After two years of that I want to go south to Georgia at Life University for Chiropractic.
What's everyone else doing here?
I was thinking about this thread not too long ago. I'm still in Georgia but never went to Life University due to the decline of interest.
Spent two years not in school, and I'm starting back up again but to the Arts Institute of Atlanta for Graphic Design :P
I hate when employers ask you "Where do you think you'll be in 5 years from now?" because once you venture out into life on your own - you really have no idea where you'll be 5 years from now.

I met Fiery_Penguin_of_Doom on Fakku and we're still living together 3 years from then.

I voted no preference, but I do have a preference of a specific kind of either kind.
I'm very very picky about Japanese porn - like the OP stated, I hate the whininess from the girls of it's uncomfortable or hurts etc etc. A lot of Japanese girls just whine when they moan it sounds like. Also - I know it's genetics, but I hate the teeth on a lot of amateur Japanese porn actresses.
What I do like from the Japanese Porn is the teasing end of it - I loove Japanese softcore porn. I also really like Hitomi Tanaka. I would go full lesbian on her.
As far as Western porn goes - I hate when they try to add a plot to it, they just do it so terribly compared to the Japanese. I also hate the dirty talk and when the girl enjoys it she's always "FUCK YEAH FUCK YEAH FUCK YEAH" I hate the whining in Japanese porn - but this is just too far on the other side. I always think that she needs a dick in her mouth to keep her quiet ;|
I like that the bodies aren't censored of course in western - and I like dicks more in Western porn.
