Right now the best way is to browse from the magazine index page, like this: https://www.fakku.net/magazines/comic-kairakuten-2015-12. Eventually we'll work some navigation into the reader to jump between chapters (and possibly magazine issues), but it's going to take some time.
The beta reader is now live for everyone! If you are a new reader having problems with the subscription reader post in this thread.
We will continue posting updates specifically to beta users while we test out fixes and improvements.

I understand why you're doing what you are. The artists will benefit greatly, although they are destroying the thing that made them known to begin with. Still, it feels like the community got strung along for years, only to be flipped the bird at the end. I guess growth means forgetting where you came from, and who made you.
It's the nature of these things.
We've actually been flipping the artists off all these years, and now are finally starting to support them.

This is pretty great, I just hope we can pledge a certain amount per book and not have to commit to $500 from the start to back all the books on kickstarter.Feel free to post suggestions on different backer tiers, we haven't finalized them yet!

How will you Kickstart this when kickstarter does not allow adult content? Will the kickstarter not mention adult content?In general Toshio's books are not pornographic for the sake of pornography (this is the important difference), rather they are adult stories with sex scenes. You may be familiar with a few of his works as most of them have also been turned into anime over the years, UrotsukidÅji actually has a few anime adaptations.
Last week we celebrated our 9 year anniversary. It's been a crazy ride and it's hard to believe how far we've made it since FAKKU first came online. That said, the next year is going to be insane. We have tons of new projects planned that we will be sharing when the time comes. If you're a FAKKU subscriber you are going to get access to more and more content at no additional cost as we pick up more artists and more magazines. To get things started, here are a few exciting projects we can talk about now!
[size=18]Toshio Maeda Kickstarter[/size]
We are proud to announce that we are working with the godfather of hentai, Toshio Maeda, to publish his entire collection of manga in English. This is a massive undertaking that will take years, so we're putting together a Kickstarter campaign so that these new books don't impact our existing line up of titles. We will be putting together a small team to focus on these titles and they will be starting with UrotsukidÅji - Legend of the Overfiend, and after that we plan to work on La Blue Girl, Demon Beast Invasion, and Adventure Kid.
Click the image below for a sneak peak, we'll be posting more details soon!
[size=18]Publishing Western Artists[/size]
Another project we've been working on behind the scenes is publishing western artists alongside our Japanese artists. We've chosen a few to start with that will be consistently releasing chapters each month. All of these chapters will be made available to subscribers at no additional charge. When the time comes we'll even be going so far as to publish those chapters in books alongside our other releases. We'll be announcing many more artists in the future but today we'll be starting with the first two and their first official chapters will be debuting next week. If you're an artist who'd like to be involved, send me an email at jacob@fakku.net.
The first artist we'd like to announce today is someone you might be familiar with, gy (formerly known as Ghettoyouth). He is an incredibly talented artist who has done quite a few doujin works alongside his own original stories Going forward, gy will be releasing new chapters on FAKKU every month, starting with Shady Dealings which will be available next week
Second we'll be publishing AI, an artist from Portgual, and his Amague! series. He impressed me a few months ago with his dedication to seeing his story told and I am happy to have him join FAKKU and share that story with the world. You can expect a good 20 - 30 chapters total with a new one every month!
[size=18]Scanlations[/size]
At the end of December, all scanlations will be removed from FAKKU. We announced this 6 months ago and the time has finally come to go through with it. It will be sad to see all of the scanlations go, but in order to completely support the industry (both at home and abroad) it's time to part ways with our past. We have worked with so many different groups over the years and we even ran our own scanlation and fansubbing teams. Those experiences are what defined and led us to where we are today, and I'm proud of all we have planned for the future!
We know a lot of you are only here for the scanlations, and I understand that you will not be pleased to see them removed. We hope to bring back a lot of the content officially, legally, and in collaboration with the artists that created it. If you want to see that happen the best way is to become a subscriber or purchase one of our books. December 23rd will be the last day that new scanlations are uploaded to FAKKU, and on December 31st all unlicensed content will be removed.
[size=18]Skateboards[/size]
Last week we announced our new line of skateboards and showed off collaborations with artists Bosshi, Henreader, Namonashi, Boomslank, and OMOCAT. Through the next year we will be releasing new designs at a rate of one per month, with artists from around the world.
[size=18]Forum Changes[/size]
Earlier this week I shared some organizational changes to clean up the forums a little bit and make them more organized. Perhaps the most important change is we've opened up the Books, Merchandise and Subscriptions forums to the public. You'll now be able to follow all of the things we are doing here at FAKKU, even if you're an anonymous user!
[size=18]Final Thoughts[/size]
None of this would be possible without all of you. We won't always make decisions that please everyone (specifically in reference to removing scanlations), but you can trust us to make the right decisions. In a little over a year we have published over 15 books, and in just 3 months we have published almost 250 subscription chapters. Even with all that, there's a lot more to look forward to. I hope you all stick around and join us for the ride!

Coming soon to a crowd funding platform near you, we are working with Toshio Maeda to publish his entire collection of hentai manga in English! This is a massive undertaking that will take years, so we're putting together a Kickstarter campaign so that these new books don't impact our existing line up of titles. We'll be starting with UrotsukidÅji - Legend of the Overfiend and after that we plan to work on La Blue Girl, Demon Beast Invasion, and Adventure Kid.
First we will be publishing a completely remastered edition of Legend of the Overfiend, which will include new chapters that have never been seen in English before (they were originally cut due to censorship). We'll be posting more details soon!
Kickstarter is now live!

Our new Bosshi book, A Body for Play, is available for pre-order on Amazon as well: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1634420306. But do keep in mind Amazon purchases do not get the free digital edition!This is the (very) sad downside I have to face as an international buyer: no digital book unless I buy it additionally on fakku (which I nevertheless did for xxx maiden and carnal communication)
By the way: the amazon page of the book seems to have mixed up the realese date, the book is listed for realse on the 10th of March 2015...
It's when the hard copy of the book comes out I guess. It's generally 3 months after digital release that the hard copy gets shipped.
I know that, but the date is in 2016 not in 2015, on amazon it's listed as 10th of March 2015
Aha good idea! I'll reach out to Amazon and have them fix that

Just wanted to let everyone know that eventually these chapters will be rolled into the subscription and will no longer be available to non-subscribers. Probably not for at least a month, so read them while you can!

Funnily enough, cleaning up the forums (by removing that section) will make the forums messier with new users posting request threads everywhere.Exactly my concern. It doesn't stop the request threads it just fragments them to other sections.
Yeah I've noticed that as well, I think we'll bring the Requests forum back for the reminder of time scanlations are on the site. Bit of a miscalculation that one.
Accompanying the release of A Body for Play we are offering two exclusive non-h chapters to all FAKKU subscribers. Sign up for a FAKKU Subscription and you will be able to read Swimsuit World and Swimsuit World - A World of Creatures on December 17th coinciding with the first chapter of the book!
Here are some previews from the chapters.
Swimsuit World - A Sopping Wet World
Swimsuit World - A World of Creatures

For some reason I expected something grand and unrealistic. Always good to get a reality check from time to time.Edit: God this sounds like such a dig but it really isn't
Yeah we're a small tight knit team, still pretty far from corporate overlord status.
Ever wonder what the FAKKU office looks like? https://www.periscope.tv/w/1kvKpDvVkQgKE
Think the link will only last 24 hours

How about the requests? Has it been removed and contents put into the hentai forum pool?Oops forgot that one, yes the requests forum has been removed.
We'll be making some changes to the forums this week, specifically to how forums are organized. These changes are meant to make things a little cleaner and some are necessary to finish our move into legitimacy (specifically the removal of Nosebleed and Requests).
Changes
Hentai Anime and Movie Discussion is being folded into Hentai Manga and Doujinshi Discussion, and then the new combined forum is being renamed to "Hentai". That new forum is being moved to the Special Interest category.
Visual Novels and Eroge is being moved to the Special Interest category.
At the end of December, Nosebleed will be removed.
The Requests forum has been removed moved to the Hentai forum.
The FAKKU Books forum, previously only visible to users that had purchased a book, will be visible to all users (including anonymous users). Only users that have purchased a book will be allowed to post.
The Subscription forum, previously only visible to subscribers, will be visible to all users (including anonymous users). Only users with an active subscription will be allowed to post.
The Merchandise forum was added to highlight new products added to the FAKKU Store and will serve as place to get feedback from users on new ideas.
