so do we have to pay for everything now?Yes. FAKKU has gone 100% legit. We are working directly with the artists and publishers in Japan. A % of your membership fee of $12.95/mo goes back to the original artists in Japan.

Going to be a little bit salty but I'm kind of unhappy, because i've lost the knowledge of doujinshi that I once had in my collections and favourites. I went from having over 300 favourites to just 41. My absolute favourite hentai is gone and i dont know the name of it. It no longer really matters since i've lost interest in the site.
You still have access to all that information. Go to your favorites or collection, click export in the top right corner. That will export a JSON file with the old content included. You can open the JSON file in a text editor or in a JSON Viewer extension in Chrome.

Unfortunately I don't use fakku often enough to warrant a sub for over 10 bucks a month. I'd rather watch real people have sex for free. It was a nice run while it lasted. I'll lurk for a while and see how this goes down for you. Best of luck.

stealing what is due is respectable?
lol, what kind of moral decay did you go through.
I guess its fine for you if I find means to steal your next paycheck, huh? I mean, you don't mind stealing other's potential money, so that means you're good with it, right?
nevermind. I don't expect an honest answer from a pirate
I'll throw my two cents in this topic. The analogy that was made in this post makes no sense at all. First; piracy its not stealing. It's not potential money, you can't serioulsy expect 1 pirate copy = money lost. There is an interesting project. Its called the kopymachin, it produces 10 thousand copies of a song each second. Following your logic thats a loss of 60 thousand dollars each second. Or the equivalent of 3.6 million dollars each minute. Poor guy loosing 3.6 million dollars each minute. He must be broke

Again, they just started. Did FAKKU have over thousands of free contents when this site was only, say, 7 months old? Of course not. It's only been a few months since FAKKU started out releasing these high quality uncensored materials. You're going to need to give it some time before you have enough contents to have some freedom of choice.
Even for someone like me who finds a lot of time to be around in the internet, I can't find the time to read even half of the releases they get out there, and I'm literally fine with most tags. I just happen to have so much else to do... I really can't imagine an adult complaining this much about a lack of content instead of being understanding of the situation.
No. They lost all of their excuses the moment they decided to charge for a product or service. Just to put an example; if netflix doesn't offer the content I want, I won't sit idly, waiting for them to update. I check HULU and see if they have it. If HULU has the content I want, then I quit Netflix and subscribe to HULU (I don't know how HULU works, but this is just an example). If fakku, wants people to subscribe, they HAVE to be prepared to face competition. In this case; scanlations, other websites. They are buisness and that is the risk they chose to take. There is nothing to understand, its they have what the consumer wants or not. If they don't have that, then the money of the consumer can go elsewhere, where its better spent.

Then stop complaining and go to the other site that has more content. By your logic, you'll be coming back in a few years anyway.
It's all about understanding. You know, so you don't waste your time typing messages here.

Facing legitimate competition would be wonderful in my opinion. If more official services started appearing in the industry allowing for more ways to support the artists through legitimate methods that would be a wonderful thing for the industry as a whole. Back in the day, Crunchyroll was pretty much the only service. Now look at the anime streaming market. You have TONS of services offering legitimate simul-streaming.

That would be the ideal, but you have everything against you. Other websites offer more content for free; adblock solves the issue intrusive ads. Those websites are also well organized and the fact that its now accepted or even asssumed that porn is free. Hell xvideos one of the most visited websites in the world offers porn for free. Crunchyroll succeeded because the had the odds in their favor. Anime culture was just booming and other free options were of dubtious procedence. Spotify is a good example of what you should have aimed for; they offer content for free (supporting the artists); inmediatly beating their pirate competitors and still offer more if you choose to pay. In your case, you offer a less efficient method of fapping in any way you look it

Then you admit, there is nothing to be understandable of; and that is the point I wanted to make. And no, I don't return to a company that did not offer the content I wanted (even if they have it now), I stay in the new website as they offer the content I want and more (in the case of fakku for free)

It will happen eventually, but it's going to take time to build up to that point. We couldn't have a scenario where we kept the unlicensed content and had our paid content at the same time. In order to have more discussions with a wider range of companies in Japan we had to take this step. In order to get the amount of content we'd need to offer free content we had to remove unlicensed content. It's really that simple.

After all, aren't you the special snowflake who will steal from the artists because you want to while they toil and work hard to bring you fap materials for which they get... hardly a loaf of bread in return?
So of course you are free to go, and if you don't come back that's also fine. Fakku really just wants you to support the artists, after all.

Let's say i paid for the subscription but there were no content that i liked that was posted for the month. That will just waste my money.So i suggest to give us the option to buy individual chapters instead

While your logic is not wrong, there is one thing that Fakku has which no other sites (real life porn excluded) have: High-quality uncensored content. Of course there is decensored stuff out there on other sites, but not nearly the amount Fakku is releasing daily. This is definitely a selling point to bring in customers.

probably not as avant-garde as you have said, but am I seeing justification for not giving people what is due to them? again, if it's fine with you doing it to them, should be fine if other people just run away with your paycheck.
pfft. again. it's hard to hit people's morality and decency in a porn site.
I mean people can give me all the minus -1 in the world, but they are still in the wrong. that's just how simple it is.
and by please don't use free services of Spotify and crunchyroll as a comparison. this is porn, and is main release as a physical print. the audience and the money options are way more limited than mainstream content. people in japan, even those without regular jobs and have to mine through part-time jobs, buy this. I see no reason people who can afford internet cant. simply cant.
again, people who don't know crap because they never paid for legitimate porn.

This will be my final post in this topic as it seems some people take offense to even the most minute detail while some simply misinterpret meanings of what other people post.
Let me just raise some points. First, that "having many content" does not mean "having many works to read to fap to in a day/week/month" it's not about the actual quantity you can read in a specific amount of time. Indeed it's ridiculous that a single user would have so much time to be able to read 20+ original works in a single day but that's not what this is about. It's about having variety. Once again, let me just make it clear that this is not to attack or demean FAKKU but rather to add a piece of information that some supporters (if not parts of the staff) seem to miss. People do not want more content so that they can simultaneously read works, people want more content to have more choices. Pardon me it just feels silly because I thought this was an obvious thing. It's not like when you look at the first page of the site you immediately find something you want. That's unrealistic. Most would want to browse through an index or whatever to find what they fancy at that time and if you compare a box with little content to a box with more content, it is only logical to believe that the box with more content have a larger chance to have what they want.
Second, I'm not sure it's a good PR decision to tell potential customers to "go to another site" as that's just shooting yourself in the foot. "I am still here just keeping quiet and listening to what everyone has to say." are the exact words Jacob used, which means he's willing to listen to every suggestion, concern, or critique anyone has which is admirable. So if the creator himself is open to ideas on how people would accept this change more, why are some supporters so gung ho on shutting down these same ideas? Because they don't know what they're talking about? I'm sorry but from what I've read so far people are just saying their preference and I'm quite sure each and everyone here knows what they are talking about when they're talking about their own preference. I believe it's important to know what your audience needs, and what more they want from you if you want to stay relevant in a competitive field.
Third, I was needlessly challenged by a supporter in a previous post that I do not know what I am talking about since the examples I have used are not adult websites. Though I have expressed my concern that he may have misunderstood my post, I took it upon myself to make my own research. Indeed after seeing d*****mo* and hen***k** which respectively costs 20 dollars and 30 dollars, FAKKU does stand in the less expensive side. However, as I've said before, people in this age have already locked their budgets for spending on specific services. I believe what FAKKU wants to do is to give users reasons why they should replace CR from their budget with FAKKU, why they should reallocate their budget for netflix to FAKKU, or is it worth not buying mobage currencies for FAKKU. It's not about doing 2 more hours on overtime, it's about is it worth spending that 2 more hours of overtime for FAKKU or should I try to roll again for Okita instead? What both sides are showing are examples of knee jerk reactions. Those who feel that the change is bad outright bashes while some of those who support outright tells others to leave (like they're not losing money on a dismayed customer).
Edit: good job on the supporters who actually answered 'why is fakku worth the money' properly by answering appropriately with 'fakku has high quality uncensored contents' and other similar posts. It's a step in the right direction to show why your hand is good compared to other products in any market.
That's my last piece on this topic. As for myself, well... depends... we'll see.

don't wanna give up money for CR, Netflix or other stuff, sure. there's NOTHING wrong with that. it's your money, your life. use it to what you believe is right.
but that doesn't mean it's fine to pirate the stuff because you didn't want/can't spend for it. (though nothing is stopping you tho, but that reflects your own moral issues... which is hard to touch in a porn site)
fuckin' golden rule. don't do unto others what you don't want them to do unto you. you want other people to rip you off your hard work and leave you with less?

I just don't get why you (and others) are making a full 180 on piracy while you are a member of a site which had 95% pirated content until 2 weeks ago. I mean, we are all pirates are we not? It is just that now we have a way to support artists as well thanks to the subscriptions and books released by Fakku. Let's just be happy about that and hope that as many people possible will contribute to this and not be hypocritical by calling pirates a bunch of thieves.

I rarely break my promises but for the same person to misunderstand me twice this is quite disturbing. I do not see any sentence in which I have condone the use of piracy unless you are imagining me saying those things with Jack Sparrow's voice. In a last ditch effort of trying to explain myself, imagine all these services as a puzzle. By this time many people have already solved the puzzle with all the pieces are already in place. Then somehow another piece appeared but the puzzle is already solved and one more would not fit the frame. What I was merely saying is that this new piece must be attractive enough so that a customer would be swayed to remove an old piece and replace it with the new one. No one's talking about forcing someone to give up anything and certainly no one's talking about how 'wrong or correct' that is. Unfortunately, I believe I have already done my best to make it clear and I will just have to let you interpret what I wrote based on your preference. If you're merely addressing the general populace to say that 'piracy is wrong!' Then that's just fine by me. Have a fun campaign sir!

1) those weren't customers. them being fans is also questionable. just like you who just recently created an account for this. I think its more safe to say people who leeched of fakku's good will.
2) replacing the old with new to keep customers? that's a good one. but ever thought about how would you do that properly when you have to remove ALL the old one at once? there was no puzzle to begin with. everything had to go, and done. the content now are good. it's worth it. content amount is small but that's as expected from a startup porn business. the content is even better than its original paperback releases

it's as painful as it sounds, because it's the truth.
sad, huh? they are. period.
they don't like hearing that? then don't be one. besides. the hardcore ones that really don't give a fuck about the establishment of fakku would just pop in a -1 and laugh at me. that's fine. I don't expect them to be least bit sane.
also I was buying stuff from mangagamer ever since it's beginnings. sucks huh? fakku just never had official content for me to support before. doesn't mean I liked the way it was before.

Nah, they don't have that either. I have seen uncensored hentai, in hd quality all over the hentao websites. It seems to me that people that are subscribed to this page are already pirating it.
