Yeah. It would be _really_ awesome to get a book from Saburo. Such epic, sexy artwork.
I would have thought that at least one of the books that FAKKU has released would interest you though. If you want a book that's all in color, Oda Non's https://www.fakku.net/hentai/non-virgin-english would fit the bill, and Oda Non's artwork rivals Saburo's IMHO. Ishikei's https://www.fakku.net/hentai/titikei-english has a lot of full-color pages too, but it does have some B&W. However, it is true that most of FAKKU's releases are predominantly B&W (though that's true of hentai manga in general). So, if color is what you're really looking for, I guess that your options are limited. If you're fine with B&W though assuming that the artwork is good, I would think that at least one of FAKKU's releases would interest you. But everyone's tastes are different.
I just checked this against the Project-H's released of Vanilla Essence, and aside from the translation of the text and how the sound effects were dealt with, pretty much everything is identical until the last page, which is almost completely different between the two. The tankoubon version has an image that takes up the entire page with the text from the top panel from the magazine version, and it doesn't have any of the other panels from that page, which I guess makes it end in a manner that's a bit more romantic rather than funny. But regardless, it's clear that FAKKU doesn't have the version from the tankoubon. Personally, I think that I actually prefer the last page from this version, but regardless, with this release, a version of this chapter is available to FAKKU subscribers who haven't bought Project-H's release of the tankoubon (though that's one that I'd recommend that folks buy).
Since it's labeled as being from Comic Koh Vol.1, presumably, they got it as part of the deal with picking up Comic Koh rather than licensing Vanilla Essence. So, it wouldn't surprise me if the images for FAKKU's version and Project-H's version differ slightly due to differences between the magazine release and the tankoubon, though the magazine and tankoubon versions don't always differ. Also, this isn't the first time that FAKKU has released something that Project-H also released. https://store.fakku.net/products/infection-sodom was released by both FAKKU and Project-H. So, surprisingly, the fact that one of the two of them has licensed something doesn't guarantee that the other can't like you'd normally expect, though it still hasn't happened much.
But based on the announcement, FAKKU is treating this magazine a bit differently. They're going back to the beginning rather than releasing the current issues immediately. So, we're potentially going to be seeing content from this magazine that was previously released by Project-H in a tankoubon (though probably not much, since they don't release much these days).
Well, the character claims to not be a kid, but he sure looks like a shota, and this chapter has strong shota vibes. So, if it were up to me, I'd sure tag it as shota.
Yeah, it kind of sucks that the second volume never got officially released in English, but pretty much all of the good parts are in the first volume, and there are parts of the second volume that I actively dislike (e.g. I _really_ don't like the cousins that get introduced in that volume).
IIRC, this is one that I bought in Japanese before it was announced here, so I guess that I wasted money on that one, but you never know what FAKKU is going to release, and they release such a small fraction of what gets released in Japan. Oh, well. At least the money went to a good artist. :)
Reload fakku.net. See this chapter. Buy it absolutely as fast as possible.
That would be how things went today. :)
And it's great that we got this one with a considerably smaller gap than the last time. I eagerly await the rest of this series in English along with anything else from Sasamori Tomoe.
This setup does seem like it would go well with that, but Akagi Asahito's artwork is pretty fantastic, even if it doesn't involve much in the way of puns.
IIRC, the only cases where FAKKU has done physical releases of any doujinshi has been for AX, and when they've done that, they were first released at AX before digital versions were available. That doesn't necessarily mean that something won't change in the future, and we'll start getting some of these doujinshi in physical form, but thus far, they're basically doing digital-only for the doujinshi.
@SimpleMinded Well, if you read the other chapters in this collection, it's pretty clear that things are unlikely to go well here (though now that the collections are listed after the comments instead of before the comments, it's easy to not realize when something is in a collection). It's possible that this particular collection will end well for the female lead from this chapter, but it doesn't seem likely. Not everything from Kiasa is as depressing as this chapter, but Kiasa doesn't currently have any chapters tagged with vanilla on FAKKU, and I don't know if Kiasa actually ever does vanilla. So, if you only want vanilla stories, then maybe Kiasa is an artist to avoid.
I didn't used to pay much attention to which magazine a chapter came from, but once Girls for M was licensed, I had to, since the fact that a chapter is from there pretty much guarantees that I'm not going to like it - though that's the only magazine that FAKKU translates that I avoid. I haven't tried to figure out what kind of stuff each magazine typically releases, because aside from Girls for M, each magazine has a fair bit that I like, but if you're finding a lot of stuff that you don't like, then you may find that if you pay attention to what comes from which magazine, there may be magazines that release little or nothing that you like.
Well, we all have different tastes - e.g. I can't stand loli and shota stuff, but some folks here think that they're fantastic. And sometimes, those have really great artwork, and it sucks that the artist included material that I don't want anything to do with.
With this kind of story, sometimes I'm fine with it, and sometimes it's just too depressing - though good artwork does help, and Kiasa's artwork is really sexy. I find that to an extent, good artwork can save a poor story and a good story can save poor artwork, but the good parts can only go so far to redeem the less desirable parts. Ideally, you'd consistently get both great artwork and a great story, but things don't always work out that way, especially when an artist likes drawing a fetish that you're not into, and there are plenty of artists who seem perfectly okay with (even prefer) having bad endings.
At this point, FAKKU has enough stuff that it's generally pretty easy to find both stuff that you really like and stuff that you really don't - both with the magazines and with the tankoubon. I expect that many of us have artists (or even magazines) that we outright avoid at this point just as we have ones where we eagerly await everything they put out.
Well, if she goes to such an event enough times, eventually the VR experience is going to get her pregnant. Would she then think that VR sex can get you pregnant?
Somehow, I doubt that we're going to get a sequel to this though, let alone one that faces her with reality.
