Magazine Previews July - December 2019

Kairakuten like usual kicks ass, and I'm really happy to see more Weekly Kairakuten.

I just want more Rokkaku Yasosuke! (▰︶︹︺▰)

I hope see michiking chapter soon...!

Man, that Ohara Makoto preview page in dascomi vol 3 is seriously plagiarizing Takeda Hiromitsu's work in sister breeder. Absolutely disgusting.

Hello,

I don't know when a mod will make the 2020 preview thread, however, the preview images of Kairakuten, X-Eros, and Bavel for the month of January have been released. They are as follows:

Kairakuten
X-Eros
Bavel

Any word on the status of the Guglielmo chapters from Happining 4, X-Eros 80, and X-Eros 81?

It's funny you mentioned the restructuring for faster releases. I found the thread where they mentioned that a few months ago and ever since then I've been keeping a spreadsheet containing how many chapters of a particular Wani Magazine issue were completed/released up to a certain month. It goes back to the beginning of 2019 and I've began documenting this same data for 2018 (I've only gotten the number of total months it took for the 2018 issues to be completed so far, with the per month totals still being worked).

I'm not near my spreadsheet right now (so take what i say with a grain of salt) but from what i can remember, FAKKU has completed far more issues of Kairakuten and Kairakuten Beast in 2019 than in 2018 and they have completed roughly the same amount for X-Eros (if we are talking about the percentage of completed issues to issues released). It's only Shitsurakuten that had a dip in completed issues (once again if we are talking about the percentage of completed issues to issues released). The thing that sticks out in the data is that once an issue of X-Eros or Shitsurakuten is about 70-80% complete, the issue is likely to have no releases for a streak of months (meaning 3 or more months). For those issues released before June/July this is usually due to colored shorts or non-hentai releases (which I'm okay with). However for issues after June/July, it began including hentai releases. So you better hope that your favorite artists work gets released before that 70-80% threshold. Thus, unfortunately those X-Eros issues containing Dagashi's work might have hit that threshold. However, to the point about if FAKKU is keeping up with releases, I'd say they are doing great if you take what I found into account and remember that FAKKU has launched more magazines this year. It's just that the Dagashi releases you want will be a while which makes sense since they have more to work on.

I finally had the chance to have the data in front of me. This will be the last time i talk about this subject on this thread.

After looking through the data i've gathered, I can confirm that yes, once a magazine hits the threshold i mentioned, there is a chance that it will "go cold" for a around two or more months. However, this statement applies to all Wani Magazines, with Kairakuten and Beast being less likely to go cold. I just want to reiterate: If an issue hits the threshold, there is a chance it will go cold. However, this does not mean in anyway that FAKKU has stopped working on the issue. The following trend shows up, particularly for X-Eros and Shitsurakuten: The issue hits the threshold, it possibly goes cold. If it does, then something is released in a month or so. If the issue isn't completed after that release, then it repeats.

I think prime reason why X-Eros and Shitsurakuten are affected in this manner is because of when they are released in Japan. YQII has mentioned on another thread before that they get swamped with chapters in a short period of time each month and this makes sense when you consider when the X-Eros and Shitsurakuten release in Japan. Shitsurakuten comes out in the middle of the month while X - Eros at the beginning of the following month. If you include that Beast and Bavel come out in the middle of the month as well while Kairakuten comes out at the end of the month, you can see the clusterfuck the team gets in during the middle of the month (and this is not even considering Dascomi, Weekly Kairakuten and the thiccccc magazine that is Aoha). Now why does Kairakuten and possibly Bavel go cold less often? I believe it is because those two magazine are the flagships for their respective publishing companies, so it makes sense that X-Eros and Shitsurakuten (and maybe Dascomi) get pushed back a little.

This post is not meant to bash FAKKU in anyway or was intended to be viewed as a complaint. This post is meant as a call for all of us to be patient. Because remember, despite the insane increase in work load for the team, the completion rates for most of the magazines is at minimum, the same as it was in 2018 if not better. I hate to sound like an apologist, but I feel that we all need to remember that FAKKU added these magazines in part because they felt that they could handle it in such a manner where our subscription cost did not increase. Does this mean two magazines may have a later completion time? Possibly, but i feel that is a fair exchange since in the larger scale, it is astounding that they are still able to crank out all of these releases they do with their incredibly crunched time frame, all while we see no subscription fee increase. And it is for that i am still happily subscribed to this service.

Now, i need to go hide in the shadows for a good long time and hammer in the last nail in my coffin because of the reputation-suicide i just committed on these two posts.
