Is GOT back on the table?
as you can see in the very first post, no. and the only update we've gotten in like several years was that they added the notification that certain publishers don't want uncensored overseas releases for some reason.
Honestly I don't really know why some Japanese publishers refuse to work with foreign publishers but today I found something very interesting
I saw a French publisher and an English publisher selling the same erotic book. I would like to point out that the book sold in these two bookstores has the same size, the same number of pages and was originally published by Core Magazine
until then nothing differentiates them apart from the languages used to make the translations however after carrying out my little investigation I found two major differences between the two books, with the French publisher the book is censored like the Japanese version but with the English publisher the book has no censorship, it's really strange isn't it? But what made me react the most was the price difference between the two books, the French publisher sells the book 10 dollars less than the English publisher even though the books are basically the same apart from the censorship
In short, I'll let you form your own opinion on the matter but it's really incomprehensible that a book which is the same is censored by one of the publishers while not by the other.
in passing I reiterate my desire to see more Kon-kit books published on Fakku
the price difference is totally normal and the same for non hentai manga as well. murican prices are like 13 dollars + per non hentai book and here in europe like 7 to 8 euros for the same thing.
and again, got DID work with fakku some 5-7 years ago. and they were also cool with uncensored overseas books until 2022. danimaru's debut work was initially released uncensored in taiwan, but then taiwanese stores were forced to change that and now their stuff is sometimes even more censored than in japan.
Actually now I think it's just a question of money
if you go back 10 or 20 pages you'll probably find some old comments (unless they've been deleted) where a guy claimed that mujin comics/ti.net wouldn't deal with fakku cause they wanted too much cash.
Well then, what is it? enlighten us with your wisdom
you gave arguments to counter the hypothesis that all this was due to censorship, which I've come to accept, even though certain Japanese publishers have said that they were wary of article 175 of the penal code, even if the books were published abroad.
Besides, I'm not going to bother looking for who said what
if you have the answer, tell me why certain Japanese publishers don't want to work with Fakku
and tell me why a book published in France is censored but not in the UK, even though the book is exactly the same, knowing that it could be published without censorship in France.
The books that are censored are almost always published by the same Japanese publisher. So either it's a question of law, which could even be linked to Article 175, or it's a question of money, or the demands and clauses of the contracts are abusive.
Besides, I got this from a Japanese artist who himself asked his publisher
