Our next release is a special one (and is also the title I teased back in December). Hanafuda is quite possibly the most beautiful hentai manga ever created and is one of the best examples of hentai as art. Like all FAKKU releases, Hanafuda will be entirely uncensored using the original artwork from the artist (before the Japanese censorship was applied). The artist, Okama, even went back and updated artwork throughout the entire book (which was published way back in 2002) specifically for the FAKKU release. Because this is the first time this book has been seen outside of Japan,
he wanted the world to see him at his best.
This is also the first book we are publishing with plot that involves underage characters having sex. Hanafuda is the perfect title to start off publishing this kind of content and I will stand by our decision to publish it despite the controversy. Okama has asked that we start off with the digital edition and if there is enough support we will publish the large artbook style paperback to accompany it (
you can see some me holding it here).

About Hanafuda
Hanafuda tells the supernatural tale of Izuna, a noble turned demon hunter, travelling across Japan to slay the oni that stole the life of his beloved Lady Kiri. Izuna encounters a young fox that possesses the ability to shapeshift and the duo journey together to exact revenge on the oni. Hanafuda, or "flower cards", is a Japanese card game where each suit of cards represents a month and flower. Like the game, each chapter in Hanafuda corresponds to a different suit.
