Book Print Status in 2023

Forgive me if this is already a thing, but is there anyway to tell once a book has been released and ready to ship ? I would love to buy sticky lovers when it comes out but there seems to be no way of telling of when it exactly does.
Thanks !
Thanks !

The obvious/snarky answer is to preorder it now, and you'll get the email when it ships, provided you can put money down now.
But if you want a little trick that seems to work often enough, just look the book up on Amazon or a similar site, usually they have a estimated release date from my experience. I'm not sure why Fakku doesn't update their release windows more often but you get the digital right away so it's not a huge deal IMO.

The best we can do is update the forums and make an announcement on Discord. We are working to implement emails for those who opt in so if something on a wishlist becomes available it can let you know.

Will the restock of Meaty Minxes be affected by the front cover censoring that's been happening? Don't know if I'll keep my pre-order if that's the case.Meaty Minxes is a reprint and shouldn't be in a situation of an order being held as a pre-order. With that being said, nothing has changed with the reprint so you don't have any reason to be concerned

Will some older books be getting reprinted? Really want a copy of Tayu Tayu from yamatogawa and I can't even pick up a secondhand copy anywhere. Getting close to just ordering a copy of the censored JP tank release QQ

I'm guessing I missed the window to order it from here or something?

Yes a wishlist to send out an email as when the book is out and ready to be shipped would be great. I would pre-order books but theres always a chance I could be away when the book finally ships and wouldnt want to miss the delivery

If you are in the US you can always order it and just make sure to do a mail stoppage with USPS for while you are gone and they will hold it until you get back at your local post office

I am guessing chances are slim due to the nature of storefronts nowadays (like with covers needing to be censored), but is it even possible for Marui Maru's Cherry & Gals to ever be reprinted? Huge fan of their work, but was not in a financially stable place for quite some time. Now that I am, it's out of stock here, and I can't find it ANYWHERE online. Everywhere is out of stock. Would the fact that Marui does oneshota block this from getting a reprint? Really hope that it can come back eventually.

Could we please get an update on the list of reprints for 2024? Wondering if there are any other books on the dock to be reprinted besides what is on the list right now. Thank you!

Is it true that "Strange Goddesses Collector's Box Karasu Chan" will not be reprinted? Since it was announced on X that it was going to be posted after the con?

It's more likely the individual goods included in it could come back and be sold separately than having a second run of the box as a whole. As is always the case, any unsold inventory will be put up for sale on the site after an event, but that is assuming that exists and it didn't sell out during the convention. There should be an update later this week if there are any remaining boxes.

Hey everyone, as I'm sure many of you are aware, books have experienced numerous delays this year, and I'd like to take this opportunity to provide a solid update on this. First before anything else, we want to assure everyone that the books are being worked on and you will receive them without issue.Following some very turbulent years where our full focus was on adjusting to the world, we arrived at a point where we could afford to reevaluate our own processes as opposed to worrying about outside factors. This has been a continued effort in 2023, and while we wanted to update you sooner, we couldn't until we had something definitive to report.
Which brings us to today where we're finally at the end of this new process. It will still take some time to fully perfect, but for now, Cast Aoi is due to arrive and will start shipping in a couple of weeks. Juicy Tits is on the press, and we will continue to update you on that and more titles as they near completion. A lot of titles have received the green light, and as soon as I have ETA's I'll update that, including a few reprints.
We have a giant year planned ahead of us, and we can now confidently say that we're better equipped than ever as FAKKU Books enters its tenth year. We know it's been a frustrating experience for you, so we want to end this by sincerely apologizing and thanking you for your patience during all of this. Everyone here at FAKKU is just as eager as you are to leave this chapter behind, and we hope you decide to join us in the runup to our ten year anniversary.
It's been a year. Where is the TSF Monogatari by Shindo L reprint?

Pardon my silly question but I wanted to ask if there are plans for the book called Summer Love Geek Girl to be reprinted . If there is anything you can share I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance
