This. Definitely this.

...But I think publishing uncensored content from Core Magazine might be a tough nut to negotiate because of the whole censorship issue.

Sad to hear about the issues Core Magazine is having with censorship affecting the international publication; first time I am hearing about this.
Guess that means we won't see Fakku publication of other Kisaragi Gunma's works any time soon...

But I hope all is not lost yet;
I still remember Jacob's comment from 6 years ago prior to release of Straight Line, back when I was still just lurking around the site:


Hopefully it will pan out eventually, given enough time...
Considering how many people I have seen listing Kisaragi Gunma as one of their top favourite artists, and how many times the two books currently in the Fakku catalogue have been reprinted, I'd say the demand is definitely there.

Yes!

I was hoping for some Akinosora. While my favourite book from this artist would be Junren, I am very much looking forward to any and all physical releases such as this. I have not read this one (not even scanlated), so not really sure if it's the same cup of tea as the other two books, Junren and Maihime, but my expectations are high. After all, it's Akinosora.

So thank you, Fakku.

Thanks, I somehow completely missed this news till I accidentally found this comment.

Great news!

Agree with that completely.

Of course, concerning the videos, that would depend – are we talking subbing or dubbing? Newly released videos (simulpublishing) or older content? Censored or uncensored? As for the sub x dub issue, unless we are talking new releases, there are plenty fan-made subs floating around (lower quality than that which Fakku would make, I'm sure, but still enough to discourage people from purchasing the newer Fakku version), while dubbing is pretty expensive and time-consuming thing to do; and so would be decensoring those videos.

But in the end, while high-quality manga and doujins are really hard to find, the internet is flooded with h-videos enough as it is.

And games, at least decent ones, are a very long-term endeavour (unless we are talking the mass-produced trash, which is easy enough to make, but generally very low-quality, plus the inter-webz are rife with these as well). Of course, this too would entirely depend on what role Fakku would be meaning to take, whether simply providing purchase links and language localization & translation to existing game developers (which could work to a certain degree), or if you would actually want to make original h-game content yourselves (which quite honestly might be too big a leap). Also, same issue as with the videos – censored or uncensored (getting a game decensored might actually be even harder than a video); dubbing or subbing?

But seeing as Fakku is presently the only good and active manga publisher on the English market (shame on you, Project-H!), it would probably be – at least in my opinion – for the best to keep what you already have and focus on manga and doujins.

EDIT: also the Art books mentioned by luckydog sound like a very nice idea.

EDIT 2: also, assuming you don't go digital-only, but instead decide to sell DVDs, Blu-Rays etc. for the videos or games as well, there might be a problem with region codes. While mangas and doujins can pretty much be sold worldwide (with the exception of a few countries excluded due to the licensing agreement, but even there it can be sold via a third party), hard copies of videos and/or games could be region-locked; not sure myself how big an issue this might be or even if it can't be bypassed entirely (I mean, of course it can be bypassed from a technical standpoint, but the original publisher might have an issue with allowing it, since the disc might find its way back onto his home turf), just saying it might be an issue especially for non-US markets, which could in turn hurt Fakku's sale figures.

How about something along the lines of [Kisen] Yotogizoushi ~Eromanga Nippon Mukashibanashi~? It has more than enough monster girl chapters plus some very dark content (which seems to be another frequent request around here); not to mention it being a Wani tank. Would probably kill two birds with one stone.

I myself prefer the more lighter of Kisen's works, but for others who happen to be either monster girl and dark fans, this one could work very well.

There is never enough manga, especially books.

That said, actual printed doujin translations would be wonderful as well, so if Fakku were to publish some for retail (and not as collector-only limited item for a single convention as seems to have been the case with Saitom's Box) I would surely be thrilled. I understand there might be copyright issues as it is not an original material, but still... it would be wonderful to have physical copies in english available even to people outside of US.

For example having a translated copy of Kisaragi Gunma's Amagami Harem Root... one can only dream.

Out of the 36 books currently displayed in the Books section:

Dark [2]

• [Shindo L] Metamorphosis

• [Takeda Hiromitsu] Ima♡Real

Dark-ish [4] (cheating, rape, forced, lighter NTR etc.)

• [Hanaharu Naruco] Shoujo Material

• [Higenamuchi] Misdirection

• [Kiyoshiro Inoue] The Job of a Service Committee Member

• [Oda Non] Non Virgin

Non-H Guro [1]

• [Shintaro Kago] Super Dimensional Love Gun

Harem & Group [5]

• [Bosshi] A Body For Play

• [Bosshi] Peachy-Butt Girls

• [F4U] Excursion Day 99

• [Kisaragi Gunma] It's a Straight Line Once You Fall in Love (has vanilla elements, but is still in its core a Harem story)

• [Kisaragi Gunma] Welcome to Tokoharu Apartments

I-am-sorry-but-these-books-aren't-really-vanilla-either [4] (these are a bit difficult to categorize, but in my opinion none of these can really be marked as a vanilla book; more of a fetish book(s))

• [BoBoBo] Meaty Minxes

• [F4U] Curiosity XXXed the Cat

• [Gujira] Kogals, Sluts, and Whatever.

• [Leopard] Ecchi Sketch!

and finally...
(Mostly) Vanilla [20]

• [Cuvie] Alluring Woman

• [Hamao] Kira Kira

• [Hisasi] Porno Switch

• [Homunculus] Bashful Break

• [Homunculus] Renai Sample

• [Hyocorou] Melty Gaze

• [Isao] Fresh Pudding

• [ISHiKEi] TiTiKEi

• [Key] After School Vanilla

• [MEME50] Heat Alert

• [MEME50] XXX Maiden

• [mogg] Carnal Communication

• [Mojarin] Let Loose with Lewd Boobs! (most chapters ARE vanilla, but it has also kemonomimi, cheating...)

• [NaPaTa] Pandemonium

• [NaPaTa] Love-Ridden

• [Pyon-Kti] PuniKano (has a few dark stories)

• [saitom] Let's Do It (mostly vanilla, but has its share of cheating and netorare)

• [saitom] Saitom Box

• [Sugaishi] A Healthy Appetite

• [Yurikawa] Summer Love Geek Girl (it could be argued that half of this one's chapters are 'Group', but for the sake of your argument I'm marking it vanilla based on the main story)

So yes, over half the books ARE vanilla (which in my opinion is understandable, given vanilla's popularity), but there are 16 which are NOT, so saying there is not enough diversity is a bit off the mark. And even the vanilla itself is somewhat diverse; you got succubi in there, chubby/oppai (not a big fan of that one, but hey, everyone has his preferences), dark-skin... not to mention some of those 'vanilla' books also contain a few stories that are very much on the darker side (looking at you, saitom's Compensative Service).

On Fakku's end I see a great effort to diversify (Metamorphosis and Misdirection being the evidence of that), so honestly speaking, it's your comment that comes out as almost mocking. I understand you like darker content and hopefully you will get more of it soon, but please don't bash vanilla and people who enjoy it.

Also, you have to realize Fakku WILL keep publishing more vanilla; I hope you don't expect them to stop and cater exclusively to your tastes. I myself don't care for dark content, but I don't go around Metamorphosis's topic saying 'this could have been another harem book' (I'm not trying to bash NTR, mind-break or such; I am simply stating that I do not enjoy it). Everyone has his own preferences and we have to learn to live with that; we also have to realize that Fakku just provides supply to a demand – the more people enjoy something, the more likely that group is to get what they want, and vanilla is probably the biggest one out there (some of these books are already on their second edition print, whereas forgive me if I am wrong, but I doubt Metamorphosis or Ima Real hit such big sale amounts). If you want more dark-content books, there has to be sufficient demand for them first (I'm not saying there isn't one, but it in all probability doesn't reach vanilla's scale; I myself would be interested in seeing sales figures for vanilla as opposed to the darker content).



Sorry for the (somewhat) grumpy reply to your comment; I'm just tired today plus I tend to get a bit upset when I see a book I might enjoy reacted to this way.

EDIT: also there are [OKAMA] Hanafuda and [Toshio Maeda] Urotsukidoji : Legend of the Overfiend; these two books seem to be missing from the Books tab (but are included in store); these definitely aren't vanilla

Couldn't agree more. My nr. 1 favourite book from my nr. 1 favourite artist; who can say no to that? I know it's Megastore comics (Core Magazine), not Wani, but a man can dream...

Anyhow, from the Wani catalogue, sorted by how badly I would like these books:

• [Akinosora] Junren (that 'With a Klutz' chapter is so good)

• [Akinosora] Maihime

• [DISTANCE] Joshi Luck!

• [DISTANCE] Anekomori

• [tosh] Menkui!

• [tosh] Harem Time

• [Bosshi] Ojousama wa H ga Osuki

• [Bosshi] Mizugi Kanojo

• [ReDrop] Natsukoi♡

• [ReDrop] Henkano♡

and pretty much everything else from these authors





As for books outside of the catalogue, I realize the chances are low, but still worth trying, right?:

• [Kisaragi Gunma] Sweethearts (really my Nr. 1 Hentai book)

• [Kisaragi Gunma] Giri Giri❤Sisters

• [Kisaragi Gunma] Mai Favorite

• [Sabashi Renya] Tottemo Hot na Chuushinbu❤ (I realize Sabashi Renya is probably already licenced by Project-Hentai, given they've recently published Momoiro Triangle, but still I would like to see these two translated by someone who would do the originals justice)

• [Sabashi Renya] Hajirai Body

• [DISTANCE] HHH Triple H

• [Coelacanth] Funky★Glamourous

• [Coelacanth] Good Times!!

• [Amatarou] Lesson to You

• [Tsuruta Bungaku] Hanahira Torori

'Substitute Girlfriend' by Sabashi Renya (don't know the original title, but it's part of the 'Tottemo Hot na Chuushinbu' tankobon; it has two parts which were published in Tenma 2012/10 and 11).

Thank you, I've made a support ticket with the Store Support (hope that's the right one), with links to the a picture of my entire collection (15 Fakku + 6 PH Books) plus detail picture with my username and date:




Hope these are sufficient :)

Thank you again for your help.

"Mind Control", "Mind Alteration", "Altered State of Mind" or something like that might actually be better than "Hypnosis", as it also partially covers drug induced states, hallucinations and other mind-altering conditions. While "Hypnosis" is, at least in my mind (pun intended), a rather narrow term (one usually imagines a trance caused by either magic or a guy with a watch). Just saying. But yeah, something of this kind wouldn't be a bad tag to have available.

As for "Tribadism"... not sure if such a tag is really needed, considering how closely it is connected to "Yuri" (and somewhat more rarely to "Group"). Although, considering that even sex acts such as Cunnilingus, Handjob or Footjob (Ashihoki) have their own tags... The real trouble would be going back through all the past published Yuri/Group chapters and checking them for the tag, tho.

The key word being "usually".

While what you said is true in most cases, there are still exceptions. After only a very brief look through the 'Group' tag I managed to find two examples:

Dark Gray Moon
Run!

Without actually reading them, it is very hard to tell which way do these go; and I'm sure there are many others just like that (didn't have time to dig too deep). After all, there are only five thumbnails, one or two of which are usually the intro; there is always the chance the remaining ones show one-on-one scenes (before more people join in) or non-h pages where it is sometimes really hard to guess who is about to get lucky with whom.

So yes, I agree that in most cases thumbnails and other tags (not the mention the manga name, which can help reveal the content as well) are very useful, but not always. Plus it means you have to actually go through all five of those pictures, where you could instead simply glance at a single tag. True, not such a big waste of time, but...

Anyway, this was just a suggestion. I simply thought this tag could benefit from a little more specificity, especially if other genre-specific tags were being added at the same time. But I guess you have a point – the resulting gain would probably too insignificant to justify all that extra tagging work (especially when thumbnails work like 90% of the time anyway).

Oh, thank you, that is good to know.

Honestly speaking, I don't really care much about the subscription subsection; the book one is the one I'm interested in (for obvious reasons).

Guess I'll be posting a photo of my collection after all (once I manage to overcome my natural laziness and take one, that is).

This would be a great thing to have.

And just to add onto OP's suggestion – "Group" is a tag that would benefit greatly from a similar approach as well. There is a great difference between two or three girls getting it on with a single guy, and one or two girls getting gangbanged by fifteen of them. As it is now, "Group" is a generic tag that covers pretty much anything, be it swingers and partner-switching, several couples having sex at the same time, or group-sex involving a single person from one of the genders (be it the aforementioned gangbang or a harem-style group sex scenario).

"Group" would probably remain the unspecified and generic default tag, but the creation of a few others (for example "Male:Group" for when the guys outnumber the girls and "Female:Group" when it's the opposite) might not be such a bad idea.

Hello,

I'm a long-time forum lurker who only recently decided to create his own account in order to post here. But when I recently tried to voice some suggestions in the 'Books' subsection of Fakku's forums (Official Suggestion Topic), I kept getting a 'You do not have permission to post in this topic' error.

I do not have a subscription as I am a physical-copies-only kind of guy, plus all the Fakku books I purchased were bought via United Publications (I'm sorry, but shipping from US to Europe is a nightmare, to say nothing of customs); so from a technical point of view I've not spent a single dollar in here, despite owning 15 physical copies of your books (can post a photo later, should you wish for a proof). I'm not after digital copies of the books I own or anything like that, I really would just like to be able to join the others in suggesting which books I'd like to see published next.

So to sum this up:
Are certain parts of the forums locked on purpose to prevent access for people who are not paying customers (from the site's point of view), or is this just an error? And regardless of that – would it be possible for me to gain access to these forum sections?

Here is my top artist list plus my favourite books from each one:

1. Kisaragi Gunma
Especially Sweethearts and It's a Straight Line Once You Fall in Love, after that Giri Giri Sisters and Mai Favorite; in that order (not that the rest is bad, quite the opposite).

2. Sabashi Renya
Hajirai Body, Tottemo Hot na Chuushinbu, Momoiro Triangle

3. Homunculus
Hajirai Break (especially 'Bathtub Crisis' and 'Home Mate 2' chapters), Renai Sample

4. NaPaTa
Love-Ridden (pretty much everything in this Book)

Following NaPaTa it is hard to put an order to the rest, but to name a few others: Akino Sora, Coelacanth, Cuvie, Distance, Hamao, Hisasi, Key, Kisen, Meme50, mogg, ReDrop, Tosh, Yamatogawa, Yuzuki N' (not a big fan of incest, but her art is amazing)

FFM Threesome, Harem, Vanilla (in that order).

Could it be "The Student Council President Is Loved" by ShindoL?

EDIT: On Re-read, it doesn't meet all of your description; for example I don't see any dog collar stuff in it. Still, the likeness is uncanny, so...
