I started writing this as a response to
a discussion in the Welcome to Tokoharusou topic, but realized it's more fitting to post it here.
I want to elaborate on why this won't be the third book we'll release. Out of all our books—announced and unannounced—TiTiKEi is
by far the biggest project from an editor's standpoint. There are a ton of handwritten text that has to be redrawn, stylized sound effect, and an insane amount of color pages. In short, it's a lot of work.
We wanna make a book like TiTiKEi justice, and working on some other books first allows us to do that. For instance, with the
digital release of Renai Sample, we're just now getting feedback from the readers. We're taking your opinions into account, and we're already applying some of the feedback into the books we're currently working on. However, TiTiKEi is such a huge project in its own, so we think it's better to give it some time, find out what works—for us and for you—and then start on this book. That way we can focus all of our attention on making this book look as good as possible.
I'm sure many of you are looking forward to this book, but after reading this, I hope you understand our reasoning behind delaying it a bit: we want it to be perfect.
