[Locked] Japan banned from FAKKU

>>>/a/

But the books would still be in Japanese. Even if something is uncensored, people aren't going to buy it if they can't read and understand it. The whole point is to make Wani content available to English speakers. The books being uncensored is a bonus.

I'm assuming that you don't have significant other with how adamant you are over this issue.

Or a life, perhaps.

This thread is silly. FAKKU is blocked in Japan because uncensored hentai is illegal in Japan, and we will be selling it on the site. Also we don't have the rights to sell things we publish in Japan (the companies we work with retain those rights).

This.

Also, I like how the op is bringing back things that have been proved wrong multiple times.
Also bringing up fake points, and disregarding the whole fact that it's being sent from wani UNCENSORED, and possibly translated, to jacob in the united states of derp di derp/ 'murica. And then he is selling it to the public.

Oh my, something used is worth 600yen, when something new is being sold here for 3000yen? Dear me, dat markup.
Are you aware that a 300% markup is actually pretty common in small things like manga?

I also love how people keep saying 'at the expense of the artists' How is it at the expense of the artists? They are getting paid for their work. They don't care if their publisher sells it off to somebody else, and they sell it for more. Have you never seen thing on ebay being sold for a stupid markup, just because they can? Happens all the time, and the original sellers don't care, because they got paid for it. It literally does not matter whether the person on the other end makes more money on it than they bought it for, that is how business works. As long as they get paid what they sold them to the seller for, they don't care.

Also, you people need to get educated. You keep coming here exclaiming 'OH BOO HOO, FAKKU GAVE PEOPLE CEASE AND DESIST LETTERS' when no, wani did. Jacob got one as well, so did all the scanlators on the site, well before the wani deal was even considered. Learn to fact check your theories and accusations before you go full retard.

Also, I love how you're trying to make a solid case (which by no means is, because you keep spouting bullshit that has been contradicted on the site by many sources multiple times), and follow it up with threatening to swat jacob, and wishing death/ suggesting you'll give death threats.


This thread is like cancer to my eyes.
Please, escort yourself to the retard bin, and wait for more information

Lol at the unlock.

Thanks whoever did that. (Even if happens to be Jacob)

Go back to reddit, OP.
Stay there and don't come back.


This thread is bad. You should feel bad.

You are so awesome. I've totally never been told this before. How many people have you told to go away on the internet and it actually work?

Especially to Reddit even? Fakku is bad, but not nearly that bad. And its a lot better now that I'm here.

I even got a message telling me not to leave. So I don't think I should leave.

Pics or it didn't happen.

In any case. I'm done with messing with people for now.

Despite him bitching me out earlier, Jacob responded to me in mail surprisingly normally (Not the one in screenshot obviously)... even I can't stand to insult a dude who isn't really insulting me back. I guess my thread was bad and I do feel bad after all.

Such heartwarming.

Hate to break it to you, but that user is hated as well.
You dun goofed.

You mean to tell me you don't remember this?

Happy to clear up any misunderstandings. Our deal with Wani is unprecedented, so there is a lot of confusion and misunderstandings. I am really excited about this as Wani is an incredible company. If me taking the time to clear up the confusion results in even one more book being purchased it's all worth it.

The artists get a cut of everything sold. Every book. Every poster. Every anything. That artist gets a percentage that they decide on their own. Hopefully we'll be announcing some new things soon that should get everyone excited. If you've been to any of our panels I may have teased some of my ideas.

$20 is a good price for a tankōbon, especially considering we are giving away the digital version for free (though it is just a pre-order bonus). We set this price based on the costs to produce the book (our books are going to have jackets, full color pages, Japanese paper size), royalties to Wani and the artists, we have to think about our competitors (other hentai manga publishers), the costs associated with translating and editing the book into English (paying our employees), and also so that we can wholesale to comic book shops and other retailers. A lot goes into the price.

I regret ex' decision to remove all wani content from the site. I do not support Fakku Books, just like you.

However, I do not weep and throw tantrum like you do. We true pirates do not grieve after lost plunder. We simply have to plunder more. Pirates will keep on evolving, no matter how they try to defend themselves.

Also check this site if you're still hurt because of wani tragedy. They are trying to recover the pirates loot over there. Maybe you can help, instead of whining incessantly here.

Well met cap'n. And well said too.

Don't mind the tantrum much, I actually have little emotional investment. This account of mine was oooooold and I had little to lose. And little effort was required for this.

But I'm going back to lerking for a bit. (another six years maybe)

Obviously pirating will always exist, there is no denying that. My stance on this is that the best way to convince people to support something (in this case FAKKU Books), is to offer a product that is really really good. When we negotiated this deal we made sure it was exactly what we would want because we grew up pirates just like everyone else. Our books will match the Japanese print quality with a cover jacket, the thick/large paper size, fullcolor pages, pinup posters, etc. It won't be like any other manga you've seen published in English. On top of that we are able to offer something that has never been seen before, the artists original uncensored artwork. And the artists get a portion of everything sold, so everyone wins (even the pirates).

I am not trying to convert you, but some people would prefer to support something like this. It's fine if you don't want to be one of those people but you shouldn't criticize those that choose to buy the book. Without them you wouldn't be able to pirate it.

Also locking this thread because I'm a huge jerk.
