Well, that certainly explains your current avatar.

My guess would be that one will probably be by NaPaTa, assuming that the current speculation trends are correct. And I'm hoping the other two are going to be more on the NTR side of the Force.

Come, join us on the NTR side of the Force; We have cookies.

I'm really looking forward to March 27th.

That unholy trinity better include some Yoshiura Kazuya.

Will the unholy trinity of NTR artists be up next?

Jacob, I just want to let you know that I will stand behind and support you if the Party Van ever comes a-knockin' on your door. And if it ever comes to that, I also promise that I will attempt to assemble an angry mob; complete with pitchforks and torches and flaming pitchforks.

That's not really all that descriptive. What was the plot of the story? And do you mean "super powered" as in super heroine, as in super-strength or as in psychic/ESPer powers?

Just got mine... now I can get back to anxiously waiting for the Tokoharusou download links...

Even if Fakku holds the license, that doesn't mean that they can necessarily just do as they please; licenses have terms behind them. The issue that led to this deal in the first place was Fakku distributing Wani content without permission, and so long as the deal is in place, I don't think you'll see Fakku distributing Wani content for free again. (Sample chapters and such excluded.)

The deal means that Wani and the artists have to be paid by Fakku from now on. And in order for Fakku to be able to pay Wani, they need a source of income. That's why they can't just leave Wani content up, they have to either make it so people pay for specific content and/or implement a subscription model that allows members to pay monthly/yearly for access to large amounts of content. (Kind of like Netflix or Hulu.)

Think of it this way: You pay for the hentai, Fakku then uses part of that money to pay Wani for the rights to use/distribute their magazine's content and then Wani pays the artists who make the hentai that we all love so much.

I witnessed some of the fallout from the Fakku/Wani deal on some other hentai sites, and let's just say that the word "Jewcob" was tossed around an awful lot. That's actually how I found out about Fakku Books, and it's actually why I ended up going along and supporting them by purchasing every release thus far.

One thing that people seem to be missing is that Fakku's releases are official uncensored versions... and I'm fairly certain that that is something that was unheard of before Fakku partnered with Wani. What you're paying for is a far cry from what was being offered for free before the deal, it's higher quality, it's uncensored and it's actually supporting the artists that produce the content that you so enjoy.

So yeah, if people want to believe that Jacob and Fakku are just sellouts then they're just showing that they really have no idea what they're talking about. There are still sites out there that offer Wani content for free if you know where to look, but those are of inferior quality, unofficially uncensored and redrawn by fans and they don't support the actual artists. Here's hoping that those sites don't start stealing Fakku's superior releases and redistributing them, but who am I kidding...

Anyways, if you like the artists then at least consider supporting them by buying Fakku's official releases. In my opinion you're getting more than your money's worth on them if you go for the pre-order, I mean you get the physical and digital for $20, it costs about that much just to import the original (and censored) Japanese versions from J-List when you take shipping into account. (Trust me, I know all too well.)

Oh yeah, and to Jacob and the rest of the Fakku crew, keep up the good work.

This reminds me of Henry Killinger's Magic Murder Bag.

Might as well enter this one.

If they canonized living hentai fans then you'd definitely be a saint by now.

Getting your publishing cherry popped is never as smooth a ride as the mainstream media makes it out to be.

This isn't 4chan Gold, this is FAKKU Gold.



Big difference.

My guess would be that the FAKKU Gold rollout is experiencing unforeseen delays.

It had to be done.

Rule of Bikini has the wrong cover pic up. (Currently has the cover from Point-Blank Love.)

EDIT: Looks like the page counts need to be updated too, most of them seem to be set to 216. (The total number of pages in Renai Sample.)

I don't think that $19.95 is really that expensive considering what you get. I know that you can usually buy non-H manga for around $10, but quality isn't really what they focus on, and then there's the fact that many of the FAKKU books are going to have some full-color pages in them.

And as another point of reference, college books are generally a lot more expensive than $19.95, and they're generally far less educational than H-manga.
