I see a few cancelled ordered on your account but that's it, do you have a receipt from PayPal or Coinbase? I don't think the payment ever successfully went through.
benny you're all fixed up, I just sent you a private message with more info.
Stanford I'll take a look now and see what's going on and reply in your thread.

Today I fixed a bug that was causing some users that had purchased the same digital book more than once to not be able to read the book online. If you were never able to progress past the first page of a book it should be fixed now.
I just learned that Okama also worked on the Densha Otoko opening! He keeps getting even more badass the more I learn about him.
And here's a cool video of him on Japanese TV doing a drawing tutorial.

Going forward I'll be doing monthly updates to share what we are working on and the status of the team here at FAKKU. From the start it's been one of our goals to have the community involved as much as possible, we'll be stepping that up even more going forward. Each month feel free to ask any questions relevant to the topic and I'll do my best to answer them.
FAKKU Team
In January we welcomed two new full-time employees to the FAKKU team. Kisuka has joined us as a web developer and will be working alongside me bringing new features to the site (one big one will be launching in the next week or two). Clara joined us as a typesetter and has started working on Nama Purin, which we are hoping to release in March. That brings the grand total of full-time employees at FAKKU to eight, huge improvement from me running it alone out of my apartment a year ago.
Hanafuda
As you've probably already seen we announced Hanafuda by Okama yesterday, this is a special book that we've been working on getting for a while. It was actually one of the first titles we requested while we were still in Japan after signing our publishing deal. Okama also gave us some really nice artwork to hang up in the office and even drew a signed illustration in my paperback copy of the book.
February Releases
Before the end of February we are planning to start orders on our next two books, Porno Switch by Hisasi and Toroke Manako by Hyocorou. One of the two will be available online before the end of the month (probably Hisasi) and the other book shortly after. On our best of 2014 page we included some easter eggs for some unannounced titles, nothing935 was able to figure out Hanafuda a full month before we announced it!
Future Projects
In January I spent a little over a week in Japan working out some new licenses and projects that will be launching later this year. They are big and it's going to take quite a bit of time for us to figure them out, so you won't be hearing much news about them until the middle of the year. Just a heads up that EVEN MORE awesome stuff is coming. We'll probably start experimenting with some new products on the store (other than posters), so if you have ideas feel free to post them here.
Illustrations
Both pyon-Kti and Kisaragi Gunma are working on special thank you illustrations for the users on FAKKU to thank you for buying their books! They will probably get them to us sometime next month. We'll probably put them on the front page and provide some really high quality downloads of them. Maybe we'll even print them off and bring them to conventions throughout the year.
Renai Sample
In January we finished shipping out everyone's paperback order of Renai Sample and you all should have received it, if you haven't email store@fakku.net with your info and we'll see what's going on. Additioanlly you can now purchase Renai Sample from J-List, Rightstuf, and Amazon.
Download Updates
Finally, we've updated the downloads links for every book we have released so far. These new downloads were made with a better encoding method that results in higher quality images throughout the book. We will be using this method on all releases going forward, so make sure you re-download your previous purchases to get the absolute best fap material.

Here are some pictures of the Japanese paperback, I wanted to give everyone an idea of what the size of the book looks like in comparison to Renai Sample.
Today we got in the advance copies of PuniKano! It really does look awesome, we tried some different printing methods for the cover of this book and it ended up really really nice. The full shipment of books is heading to our office soon, once we have it we'll be sending it out to everyone that ordered.

But, I have a little question for Jacob:You will bring more mangas of Bosshi?
Most definitely.
I bought this already, but I more interested have it in english: http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%81%82%E3%81%9D%E3%81%B9%E3%82%8B%E3%82%AB%E3%83%A9%E3%83%80-WANI-MAGAZINE-COMICS-SPECIAL/dp/4862693458/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1423018576&sr=8-19&keywords=wani+magazine
Do you guys want us to publish another Bosshi book?

11 weeks of waiting Jake, tell me Melty Gaze and the Hisasi takoubon is available before that... Or we're looking at 11 weeks of stroking to air.Don't worry we'll be putting out plenty more books between now and when Hanafuda comes out. I'll be making a general update post tomorrow.

So if I buy the digital now will I be able to upgrade to the physical for $10? Assuming a physical happens of course.Yeup, it will be the same as normal (you only pay the difference).
One thing I learned recently was that Okama also designed a bunch of really cute Evangelion figures.

So this will be different then the Japanese tank not counting uncensorship?That is correct, Okama updated the artwork for our release (in addition to the entire book being uncensored). It has been significantly improved throughout the book, the plot remains unchanged. He also gave me this.
Here are some samples from the book, though they are not final and may change before the final release.
Our next release is a special one (and is also the title I teased back in December). Hanafuda is quite possibly the most beautiful hentai manga ever created and is one of the best examples of hentai as art. Like all FAKKU releases, Hanafuda will be entirely uncensored using the original artwork from the artist (before the Japanese censorship was applied). The artist, Okama, even went back and updated artwork throughout the entire book (which was published way back in 2002) specifically for the FAKKU release. Because this is the first time this book has been seen outside of Japan, he wanted the world to see him at his best.
This is also the first book we are publishing with plot that involves underage characters having sex. Hanafuda is the perfect title to start off publishing this kind of content and I will stand by our decision to publish it despite the controversy. Okama has asked that we start off with the digital edition and if there is enough support we will publish the large artbook style paperback to accompany it (you can see some me holding it here).

Digital - April 16th, 2015

About Hanafuda
Hanafuda tells the supernatural tale of Izuna, a noble turned demon hunter, travelling across Japan to slay the oni that stole the life of his beloved Lady Kiri. Izuna encounters a young fox that possesses the ability to shapeshift and the duo journey together to exact revenge on the oni. Hanafuda, or "flower cards", is a Japanese card game where each suit of cards represents a month and flower. Like the game, each chapter in Hanafuda corresponds to a different suit.
About Okama
Okama is a legendary Japanese illustrator and has been published in magazines such as Ultra Jump and Monthly Dragon Age. He is credited with contributing to the Rebuild of Evangelion, ROBOT, Diebuster, Symphogear, Captain Earth, No More Heroes, and many more anime and manga series.

Sad day, I first saw Monty's Dead Fantasy videos at Anime Boston years and years ago. I'll be listening along to that podcast for sure. Really awesome seeing the community come out to support the family.
