I just pledged to the $110 tier (signed copy of the first paperback). I was relieved to see a few (13, as of now) still be available. What a great opportunity to receive Toshio Maeda's signature, in addition to a copy of FAKKU's first volume release for "Legend of the Overfiend".One question, though. Will the second/third/fourth paperbacks be available only through this Kickstarter, or will they be made available later as well (maybe through your online store)? I'd love to grab all four, but money is a bit tight for me at the moment. I could up-pledge to the $160 tier (I should be able to manage that), but then I'd lose the signed copy. I can't have that!
Thank you for backing! All volumes will (eventually) be available on FAKKU like our normal books, assuming the Kickstarter is successful.

I am getting linked to purchase pages. Nothing actually seems to be free. AT least in my case.Just samples and 'buy/subscribe to see more'.
Hopefully it's actually working for other people.
I'll continue ignoring this website like I have been since the pay-wall went up.
All the best to you and the staff.
Just click read online. Don't click the subscribe button.
I did. Also sorry for being an emo passive aggressive twat.
I signed in, then signed out, then cleared cache, now it works. I don't know why I had to clear cache because I hadn't been signed in for well over a year. But it works now.
*high-five with an awkward splat*
Glad it's working, enjoy!

Unable to access anything via phone. I get an error message prompting me to log out and back in again, or the book simply doesn't load. Makes it a little difficult to enjoy the free weekend and see if the content remaining on the site is even worth a subscription.
I'll take a look and get this fixed.
EDIT: Should be working now

Regarding the special gift. How will you guys know if we went to all 5 panels? Also, two of the panels are back to back and based on my experience last year, the first panel was room cleared and in addition the line for the next was cut off.Hmm that is true, it is currently extremely hard to attend all of our panels.
I'll change the goal to at least 3 of our panels to make it more possible.

Physical... Im most likely in the minority but can't do anything with a digital copy...Im also waiting for bestiary 3 physical.. I bought the digital and haven't even read it cause I'm patiently waiting for that physical release.. if it even comes at this point.
We weren't directly involved in the release of Bestiary 3 so we can't speak to whether or not it's getting a physical release. That said, any doujinshi we publish ourselves (like this one) will not have a physical release.

The price per page compared to FAKKU's other offerings is rather high. Yet it's definitely not unreasonable compared to the real, physical item. But comparatively just about everything else gives a lot more bang for my buck. It almost seems like you're kind of competing with yourselves here. Of course if these are still being added to the subscription library, then that makes it even harder to judge.I agree that the price point is a tiny bit high. $5 is half the price a book, but probably has about 1/10th the amount of content of one. Maybe that's the minimum price Fakku needs in order to make the smallest bit of profit, but eh.
Our books are just too good of a value! This doujinshi came out the same time in Japan (a few days ago), the English release on FAKKU is actually less expensive than the Japanese release.
We've teamed up with Toshio Maeda to publish a completely remastered edition of Urotsukidoji - Legend of the Overfiend.
Slowly but surely, we will be adding more doujinshi back to FAKKU. Doujinshi are works that are published directly by the artist/circle, not through a Japanese publishing company. That's why doujinshi are mostly based on existing anime, because the artist released it on their own as a fan themselves. Bosshi's XXX Mix and Cure Assort are examples of doujinshi that we (and Yuri-ism) have worked with the artists to release. All doujinshi will be available on the store.
Part of publishing doujinshi and bringing it back to FAKKU requires us to convince each individual artist that working with FAKKU is a good idea. Remember these artists mostly view foreigners as pirates which is something we are responsible for given our history.
During my last trip to Japan I met with several circles and discussed bringing their work back to FAKKU legally. Everyone I spoke with is excited to work with us, we've made a massive impact on the Japanese market and they see FAKKU as a platform to release their work worldwide. Long-term, my goal is to allow for all content on FAKKU to be available to subscribers to read online with the option to purchase a high quality digital download for anyone interested. For now the plan is to release them as a purchasable items added to your library like our books, and then after a week or two they will be available to read for subscribers.
You'll be seeing a lot more doujinshi coming to FAKKU over the next few months, the first of which is "I Am a Succubus?" by TSF no F (a circled focused on telling genderbend stories). As always if you like something you read leave a comment! The artists/circles themselves now frequent FAKKU and read your feedback.
