Book Print Status in 2023

[This thread is a little outdated, but people are welcomed to ask questions regarding it in general, however if you're looking for up to date production status's, check out the sticky FAKKU Books: Release & Reprint Status]

you'd better have at least one esuke book on the press lol

Is it possible to get another update soon? The last one really raised my spirits, but it's been a while now

I just went ahead and updated it, the only books that have changed are Sticky Lovers, Meaty Minxes, and Shindo L Hard Edition.

Our goal is to make sure Sticky Lovers and Meaty Minxes are printed to ensure the new processes are working and then we're going to open the flood gate and let the rest listed there start the same process while adding more books on there very soon too. I hope this info helps!

Absolutely, thank you!

Say it ain't so. That's a mega-bummer, I can't imagine anyone being in favor of this change.

they didn't make an official announcement, but someone answered a similar question in an okumoto yuuta book thread. they did this to cater to amazon or book retailers or something similar.

These safe cover designs will likely become the industry norm (in Japan) over the next few years, since they're experiencing the same pressures as we do. Until then, we'll continue to include the more risqué version as a bonus fold-out in our releases. That's all I can say on the topic.

That would add to the cost of the books though. The covers on these types of books are totally different than what's in a game console DVD or jewel case just because there's a protective sleeve over the case. Even in Japan they put a piece of paper or a paper band around the nipples or naughty parts even though it's the land where you can go to the 7-Eleven and pick up a comic lo.

Which in reality it doesn't really make sense why Amazon would have a problem since the image on the website could be easily censored and he's so pocket pussies and dildos plus porn. The covers of Hentai Manga is pretty much Tamer than some of the manga or Western porn. I mean I bought crossdressing yaoi at Barnes & Noble for Christ's sake. It wasn't even shrink-wrapped I literally saw Fanboy dong Plus the funny pictures at Anime Expo and a girl on her knees with her tongue out if you kiss my driff.

amazon.co.jp takes down nearly any hentai book, censored or not.

why would japanese language hentai be forbidden to be sold in japan lmao
that makes no sense whatsoever. maybe amazon themselves have something against hentai being sold on their platform and publishers just didn't bother to read the rules.
