The Kickstarter Update #6 said the following:
"As we near the paperback release we will be sending out a survey for shipping information and gathering what we need to handle the rewards. At that time we will have some add-ons available for anyone who wants to add more to their order. This will include some Legend of the Overfiend items along with some other titles we have published."
I just wanted to ask what happened to the whole add-on part of the survey?
Also for people who got the signed copy is it possible to request where the signature will be? (I really wanted it directly on the cover)

There's a thread about Sayori's Craving Scolding removal but I can't find anything about ShindoL being excluded from subscription.It was never explicitly said however if you look at this preview thread if you look at the first comment after the previews it is implied that this was decided on, behind the scenes.

Books naturally come in and don't forget some of them are older books not just released.
4th magazine is great depending on what it is if its just the same as the ones before its not much of a gain.
New employees have barely been hired its been a while since then.
Ehhh i take this one with a grain of salt sure boshi and a few others but cmon its mostly just a standard thanks that most artist would say its not like im asking for more but its not like fakku did something that amazing for them.
True but what's the difference from regular magazine updates, these just end up getting lost after a while to the regular updates.
They really need to advertise more or better or something currently most of their social media is terrible, like they don't advertise well at all.
I wouldn't call it a natural process to acquire a new book. Still have to license the books from the respective company. Also several artists have themselves advertised that their books will be legally coming overseas. Plus they are working with more companies now. That means other companies saw a big enough success rate that they decided that it would be worth it to test the waters with some of their books.
By "depending on what it is if its just the same as the ones before its not much of a gain.", I assume you are referring to Kairakuten BEAST. I am not gonna start arguing about that, all I will say is that I really want Kairakuten BEAST. Regardless of what magazine it is I will be happy...but I will be a bit disappointed if it's not BEAST. That's just my opinion though.
Just because it's not openly posted that new members are on board doesn't mean that new members haven't been hired. I don't see any company put an ad out in the paper after they hired a new starter.
I think Saitom himself asking FAKKU directly to please localize his book was a major plus no matter how you see it, and the EXTREMELY fast sell out the Saitom box was another.
Unfortunely I do not remember if it was the editor-and-chief or someone else but someone from I believe the Comic Kairakuten editorial department did come over. Now you can call that a sign of progress or not. The company obviously wanted to see the turnout of fans overseas who wanted to see Napata, and Saitom.
The difference is the fact that it is done with independent circles. The magazines pretty much have access to the original work they publish in the magazine and they spoke for the artists. These are independent circles who saw a way to get their work out there and the decided they wanted to take it. Naitou2 has given a large amount of their past works for translation. TSF no F announced long ago that they would release the countinuation to the I am a Succubus series. Again just my opionion here but I have enjoyed the Doujin releases more then some of the books and subscription service.
Regarding advertising I am not a marketing person, I see twitter posts of new chapters and book announcements, I think that's fine. Again I know nothing about marketing and advertising. When the day comes that they can erect a billboard with an obscene image on it to advertise I am sure they will do it...that day will never come though.
Bottom line we could argue bout this till the cows come home. I would rather not, so if you reply to this please note this will be my last post regarding this. I FOR THE MOST PART enjoy the service, do I wish certain things were done differently, yes, But I enjoy what I can get. If you are really against the site then list all your suggestions to the staff and if they take it under advisement and implement it great for you otherwise then this might not be the site for you.

Any established company would also be skeptical of a business with a bad rep as well even now fakku still suffers from it we still don't know how much of a stable increase fakku has or if it even does.Book announcements still keep coming
A 4th magazine will be added to the service soon
New employees have been hired at a steady pace
Several authors have been brought overseas and openly thanked FAKKU for helping to spread hentai legally
Doujinshi from independent circles have been uploaded at a decent (albeit slow) pace
They were a main sponsor for Anime Expo in 2016 and again in 2017.
The name may have been synonymous with pirated hentai back then but Wani saw a stable footing to enter the overseas market and took it.
If wani didn't like the sales numbers they themselves would have pushed back because having unsold books does more damage to their reputation then not selling overseas.

Thank you, I will keep communicating with my purchasing agent, she actually will send the book to TAIWAN through a ship company.I really wanna buy this "uncensored" version Heat Alert. And Oda Non's Non virgin "uncensored" version which is going to be released in March next year.
The truth that Fakku can't ship books to Taiwan straightly is that Taiwan is in Asia, and Asia is WANI's "territory".
I don't blame on Fakku now since I know that the true sin is selfish WANI itself and Japanese law which asked censore adult books.
Wonderful, I hope the books get to you.
Heat Alert was an amazing read.
At step 3 you would normally enter the address and then countinue to the shipping options step.
However based on the links AnimeFreak listed it doesn't look like FAKKU ships to Taiwan.
You have to have the purchasing agent ship the book someone in America or in a county FAKKU ships to and then they would have to forward it to you as a personal package.
However I am not sure if your purchasing agent will allow that.
You need to find some sort of forwarding company which buys good in America and then ships them to you in Taiwan since FAKKU can't ship to Taiwan
However you could try looking on j-list, United publications, and RightStuf, they carry all FAKKU books, however Heat Alert just starting shipping out their pre-orders so it might take some time for the full inventory to be delivered to the retailers.

snipWhen Crunchyroll went legal did they change the name.
Name recognition is extremely important for business deals. There was a huge amount of backlash then with crunchyroll and now with FAKKU, people who wanted to support and pay stayed, others left. Also any established company would be skeptical of doing business with a company with a brand new name and no recognition.
The name was already in place, it was already connected to the media they were going to be publishing, there was and there is still no need to change it.

SnipBottom line is that the site was going to close down. After the DMCA notice the site was going to shut down completely.
So they took lemons and turned it into lemonade.
It wasn't some giant long term convoluted plan to wait 8-9 years build up an illegal fan base then start charging.
They aren't charging for the illegal scans which aren't even on this site anymore. They are charging for the clean original uncensored works, which are provided by both the artists and the publishing company.
On a side note I for one am happy to support any industry that interests me, and the only reason I never supported Hentai before was because of censorship. Now that censorship is done away with, thanks to FAKKU I can support the artists that I want to support by buying the books, and being a subscriber.

.... 38$ for a 1080yen tank that not even out yet. 100$ for a USED copy of nudist beach del la big ass titties? Well........ not even rare items. Like amazon market place with out of print books... which i seem to find for 1/4 to 1/16 of the price.Yes it is a huge rip, however if he will countinue to buy from DoujinRepublic this will make it slightly, very very very slightly cheaper.
After you bought from DoujinRepublic did you receive an email like this?
I agree that the prices are expensive, however this monthly discount coupon "sort of", helps.

I would very much like to see a book by GY
Old post referring to a desktop app
Old oost referring to a FAKKU app
The second link talks about an android app, and if I remember correctly apple doesn't allow adult apps, but I could be wrong about that.

I'm really hoping you guys are getting to make some improvements about shipping abroad. I so want to get this book and Metamorphosis. Please, let it be cheaper, at least affordable...What about that United Publications website, shouldn't that have cheaper delivery prices?

Sorry to bring bad news, but this is actually a mistake on our end and it's supposed to be $24.95. We're updating the store pages now. This book is almost 150 color pages, compared to around 110 color and 100 monochrome pages in TiTiKEi, which is why they will be priced the same.
I feel like I cheated FAKKU outta $5.00...guess I will have to buy everything you guys decided to sell for the rest of the year to make up for it.
I was pleasantly surprised to see an all color book only be $19.99. I know the page count is less but surprised nonetheless.

I am having this issue as well and my settings do allow controversial content to be seen.If you click on any of the tags I have listed above and it goes to a "page not found", page then that means something might be wrong with your account and you might want to Contact FAKKU staff directly to get it resloved.
Do you know what exactly is missing that wasn't before there was a whole mess of controversial stuff uploaded the past few days.
