I'm guessing if you upgrade to the physical version you lose your digital copy? Will probably get both if that's the caseYou'd still have your digital version. We've had a lot of success with the digital copy coming free with a physical copy. It gives you something to read online (and an easier fap format) while you wait for your physical copy to arrive in the mail.
So if you preorder the digital version and there's enough demand we can get permission to print the book. When and if that happens we'd allow users to upgrade an additional $10 (the normal $19.95) to get their book.
Users who hadn't purchased anything yet would be able to still purchase just the digital version for $9.95 or the bundle of $19.95.

I think you should be alright if you live in the U.S (hopefully not in the bible belt)
If you live in the UK or Canada, you might want to reconsider. 😓.. I think there was an arrest on an otaku a few months back for having loli manga.
Guess I'm boned on the print copy then, ah well.

Hoping for the physical release too, but I'm going to order the digital version to show support for it in the meantime.

I see some people unsure whether they should buy 'Hanafuda' due to it featuring underage characters. I've come across this...
https://i.imgur.com/n2Az41k.jpg
...which is a guide of sorts explaining where it is and isn't legal in the US. I'm unsure how accurate this chart is, but if you live in a red or yellow state you might want to make sure. I've heard of people being arrested for owning loli stuff in the past, but I also remember seeing a TV show where a guy arrested had loli pictures and the officer stated that since it was a drawing it wasn't illegal. It really is a case by case basis on if it's okay or not.
Personally, I'm not sure how I feel about it. They are just drawings and a drawing can not be hurt emotionally or physically. But I also don't look at loli stuff because it feels wrong to me. The drawings may not be real, but that isn't really the problem. It's the idea behind it. I'm not here to pass judgements, but it's such a grey area. It's especially difficult when considering art styles. I've seen hentai of characters that are over the legal age drawn in a way that they look underage and vice versa.
'Hanafuda' does look beautiful in its art style. It doesn't even come across as a book that is meant for fapping, but for the art and story. In the end I guess it's a personal opinion.

Well... bought. Couldn't resist Oni Lolis.
Oh by the way, for those that are wondering about buying it, I'll be honest, I never knew there was underage characters when I read it. So it's not really apparent.

That pic ought to be stickied!
Yea, I already knew the current State I live in was a red state. I had taken some risks regardless (No partyvan yet). I do plan to move to a blue State in the near future...fuck this state really 😅

Yeah but that doesn't mean anything. Your book is in the mail so the state doesn't mean shit. Feds own the air and mail routes. That most likely only follow possession. They only check your package on suspicion of a crime not just to see what your sending. When Ben gives them the package he states it a book/shirt/ect. 99.9% of the time they don't even check outside x-raying it. Plus fakku store has a business license so it doesn't even click for a criminal act would be committed. Importing on the other hand is more wary.
But with that the book is about fox girls and mystical people... that stuff can be square way with 'Chick is older then what she looks like elfs and fairies.' If this was The Light of Tsukimi Manor then i would be wary.

According to Jacob, it's legal everywhere so the picture I posted is wrong. I doubt anyone would get in trouble with owning the book or any books featuring loli, but it is something that's always bothered me about the community. Some people consider it on par with child pornography. Many people are even joking about the FBI and the partyvan in this thread. While I don't necessarily agree that it's child porn I can see the moral dilemma it presents. There's also this paranoia I have with loli. Hentai is great, but many people outside of the Anime/Manga/Eroge community see us as pedophiles. It's sometimes hard to enjoy any of this stuff without having a lingering fear that I could get in trouble with the law or be seen as a pedophile. In fact, being in trouble with the law isn't my main concern. I don't want to be a pedophile period. The arguments against loli aren't something I completely disagree with.
I have NO problem with anyone buying this book, nor do I want to come across as trying to start a moral crusade against Fakku. They should sell this book if they want to. I support Fakku in selling this book. It looks beautiful and any author involved with making 'No More Heroes' is okay in my book. I just feel this is a topic that's almost always pushed under the rug. We would be kidding ourselves to say people don't view us negatively. I don't know if I'm saying all this in the right thread, but it's a topic I've thought a lot about.

Everything we publish will be 100% legal in the United States, which includes this book.Not meaning to doubt you but, is there anyway to know that this is accurate in a state-by-state basis?
I live in one of the supposed red states (Minnesota) and I don't want to risk the chance of ruining my life because of some loli.

Jacob, I just want to let you know that I will stand behind and support you if the Party Van ever comes a-knockin' on your door. And if it ever comes to that, I also promise that I will attempt to assemble an angry mob; complete with pitchforks and torches and flaming pitchforks.

The Supreme Court has consistently struck down any laws trying to specifically make lolicon illegal.
So Jacob is right.

Even though I would love for every body in the world to enjoy this book, that link of a guide of legality of lolicon in the United States and Canada is wrong.
Canada has extremely strict laws regarding child pornography and because of its broad definition, it lumps a LOT of things within that law. Nobody is going to fight to change it because the media would tear them apart.
This is for Canada's definition of child pornography:
"Definition of “child pornography”
163.1 (1) In this section, “child pornography” means
(a) a photographic, film, video or other visual representation, whether or not it was made by electronic or mechanical means,
(i) that shows a person who is or is depicted as being under the age of eighteen years and is engaged in or is depicted as engaged in explicit sexual activity, or
(ii) the dominant characteristic of which is the depiction, for a sexual purpose, of a sexual organ or the anal region of a person under the age of eighteen years;
(b) any written material, visual representation or audio recording that advocates or counsels sexual activity with a person under the age of eighteen years that would be an offence under this Act;"
