We've set the official digital release date of Renai Sample for September 26th, 2014. There are some finishing touches we are working on along with a new online reader to accompany our first book. I can't wait for everyone to read it and let us know what you think!
I've also created a page for Renai Sample where only users who have purchased the book can comment. It will also be where you find the read online and download links (eventually). You can find it here: https://www.fakku.net/manga/renai-sample-english

Since this is under general questions, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how FAKKU books are different then the Manga & Doujinshi that is in the FAKKU store? I see that Velvet Kiss (for example) goes for about the same amount of money as Renai sample, so what is the big difference between the two? Is it because FAKKU has an exclusive partnership with Wanimagazine?I'm not too familiar with the Manga & Doujinshi scene so excuse me if I ask the obvious.
The only real difference (and the only difference there should be) is the English publisher. Velvet Kiss is published by Project-H, Renai Sample is published by Fakku Books. Simple, right?
Also our books will be significantly higher quality than Project-H books. We will be mimicking the Japanese size, have the pin-up posters, dust jacket, etc.
Right, and that. Which I really love about Fakku Books, too many English manga releases are missing things the Japanese releases have, especially color pages.
Agreed. Project-H specifically will just turn color pages into b/w pages, which makes them look pretty awful.

i'm from germany, i know the shipping is not so cheap to my country, but this is really too much xDSend me an email with the exact address you're putting in and I'll find out what's going on, jacob@fakku.net
Give it a try now, just fixed a bug that was probably causing this.

I guess you've been working on this a bit, but now it's even worse. It's still the same normally, but zooming out to be able to see the full width of the site does this to the header:Spoiler:
This should be fixed, probably a week before I can fix it for 1024

Hi, I wanted to pre-order "Renai Sample", but the shipping fee will be $ 172 and that comes to me a little bit too much. is this just an error or is the shipping really that high?
Definitely an error, especially considering express is the only option available. What country do you live in?

There's a function called zoom-out dipshit.Yeah, using it as a crutch right now, but the smaller text (and other content) isn't really speaking in its favor.
The site is currently optimized for 1200 width screens, I'll look into making it responsive for resolutions below that.

About the digital arm of fakku books,will it be a monthly payment netflix/hulu deal?
or will we have to purchase each tankobon/short work individually?
frankly, I find the latter option extraordinarily unappealing.
Once we have a good library of titles we are going to take a look at subscriptions, it's something I really want as well.

The awesome guys at Sekai Project hooked me up with the press release of planetarian! I've never actually played the game before so this will be my first time going through, I'll be updating this topic as I play through the game.
Make sure you pre-order the game on Steam, this is exactly the type of thing we should be supporting: http://store.steampowered.com/app/316720/
Here I go!
