”We did it! LINDA Project - Official English Localization funded raising $52,565 USD from 328 amazing backers! PUSH! Publication, LINDA Project & Mikandi Japan thanks you for your overwhelming support!“

PUSH! Publication
Famous NTR and MILF hentai artist,
LINDA, is working with
PUSH! Publication to get his latest doujins localized (total of 7). They launched a
Kickstarter to get the funds to accomplish this. The link is below:
LINDA Project - Official English Localization
Important things to note:
- This is their third-attempt at crowdfunding this (Read: The first crowdfunding got suspended on Kickstarter because their campaign page was too explicit. This has been improved now to have the page more tame at glance. The second time was Indiegogo which failed to make its amount)
- For people aware of the first Kickstarter, there have been a few changes in current one compared to before:
- Limited Edition Box Book Holder is not available as a reward anymore
- The funding goal has increased from 40k to 50k. This also means the prices of all the rewards went up. Paperback and Digital prices are now:
- $60 for digital on all 7 doujins
- $90 for paperback (not with digital) on all 7 doujins
UPDATE!!! As of Thursday, March 5, 2020,
PUSH! Publication has decided to add a new tier at $215. This new tier allows old and new backers to get both the digital and paperback versions of all 7 doujins without resorting to the $650 Ultimate Edition Tier to get both versions. Start going at the new tier if this interests you.
UPDATE!!! As of Sunday, February 16, 2020, 11 PM (GMT+9), Japan Standard Time,
PUSH! Publication has responded on the information I mentioned above:
"There were some miscalculations regarding the production cost on our last attempt. Furthermore, we are aiming for the best quality prints and products for this project, increasing the production cost. Therefore, our goal had to be a bit high than last one.
For the limited edition box, we couldn't find a suitable manufacturer this time around who is up to our standards. We're still looking for one and hopefully will find someone soon. Stay tuned!"
I know some of this is discouraging.
You may have some complaints towards
PUSH! Publication, the price being high for your budget, crowdfunding is not your thing, the genre of
LINDA's works is not to your tastes, and/or you are wary about
LINDA himself.
Whatever it is, I won't guilt you if you cannot back this project.
I just wanted to spread the word because I really wanted to make
LINDA's dream of getting his complete art overseas. I really enjoyed his works here on
FAKKU and I feel like some of you guys on this site do too.
Thank you for reading my long post.
If this is the wrong type of forum to put this in, I apologize. If you can be nice enough to tell me where to move my post (if I can still post it on
FAKKU), that would be nice.
EDIT: Apparently this post moved from
Comics to
Random, after the kickstarter was complete. Understandable, the post has gone long enough in
Comics that it was obscuring more recent news than this.
