Along with the game, we are publishing our first artbook, Milkway by ISHiKEi. This is a large format (A4) full-color artbook featuring completely uncensored work from ISHiKEi, artist of the FAKKU book TiTiKEi. We are also proud to finally have available PHYSICAL COPIES OF HANAFUDA! Once again in large format (A4) full-color. If you purchased the digital copy of Hanafuda in the past, you will automatically get a $10 discount when you buy the physical copy (this offer will only last one week!).
Here is a sample image of these two books next to our release of TiTiKEi, with a couple more pictures posted in the replies to this thread.
Both books are available now on FAKKU and Amazon, and orders will ship out immediately! No pre-order wait time.

LOVE³
As mentioned in other threads it's important to make clear that LOVE³ has the same type of mosaics found in Nekopara (hence the mosaic tag on the content page). The free demo is representative of the final version of the game, so try it out before you pre-order! I tried pretty hard to get this uncensored for the English release, however the developers feel it is important to have an identical release for all regions around the world, hence the mosaics.
Milkway
That said we are also publishing out first artbook from ISHiKEi! (and also our first artbook ever) The artbook is COMPLETELY UNCENSORED. It features artwork spanning ISHiKEi's entire career, and includes magazine covers, pin-ups, and more.
Hanafuda
After years of requests, we are also proud to finally have available physical copies of Hanafuda! If you purchased the digital copy of Hanafuda in the past, you will automatically get a $10 discount when you buy the physical copy (this offer will only last one week!).
Here's a sample from Milkway.

Out of curiosity, when does the $10 discount for Hanafuda if you've previously purchased the digital get applied? I'm at the payment section of checkout of it and it doesn't seem to be applied.
Edit: Looks like it's now applied

Hooray for Milkyway!! Been waiting for that since you announced it last year, and instant pre-order. Going to be glorious!
Super disappointed to see that Love^3 will have mosaics :( I don't know why NekoWorks is so adamant about keeping them in every western release. It's a clear insult and a massive disservice to the godly artwork they have in their games. One day they'll hopefully learn. (Though bought it anyways because goddamn Ishikei has amazing art.)

In case anyone is interested in the specifics, the dimensions for the art books are 210 x 297 mm / 8.3 x 11.7 in, compared to the 148 x 210 mm / 5.8 x 8.3 in size of our standard books. To get a more tangible idea of the difference, take two regular FAKKU books, turn them on their side, and stack them on top of each other. In short, the A4 artbooks are twice the size our the standard A5 books!

This uncensored art book announcement has me stoked. Hopefully it becomes a trend. There's some high quality art books out there.

Very cool news. Any chance you will be selling the physical copies of Hanafuda and Milkyway at this year's AX? I'd love to pick up copies in person at your booth there.

Will your Milkyway release have the cool transparent dust sleeve with Chie's underwear on it like the Japanese one did?

Awesome! I'm looking forward to grabbing these along with whatever limited set you have then. Excited to see who your special guest(s) may be as well.
And just to be sure before I finalize my plans for picking these up. Do you still allow adding the digital version of physical copies we get at cons from the Fakku booth to our Fakku account at no extra cost if we contact the store support with an image of our purchase(s) and badge?

That's a shame. The transparent dust sleeve is really neat. It reminds me of the transparent page in Shoujo Material. Was the transparent cover just too impractical or costly to implement for the ISHiKEi artbook?
