All these chapters everyday. It's like a much better version of the 12 days of Christmas, thanks Fakku team! Also I think that the publishing dates are the wrong way around on the credits page, currently page 59, as Japan must have been first.Thanks for pointing this out, it has been fixed!
Don't worry this has nothing to do with DRM. The options are to have a month or two pre-order window before anything is available or to release chapters as we finish them (which is what we are doing now). This is a brand new market so we don't know what the best distribution method is for these books, so we'll be trying lots of different things to see what people like (you can read a bit more about it here).
Update on the paperback date for Punikano, we are currently expecting to receive the books in mid February! Once we receive them they start shipping out to customers immediately.

Still don't have access to them.
Fixed, sorry for the delay. Still trying to figure out exactly what is causing it.
It's hard to believe that 8 years have passed since I built FAKKU in my tiny college dorm room in Massachusetts. I've told the story a few times but it really comes down to one thing, this all spawned out of my love for one girl... Asuka Langley Soryu. You may not agree with me that she is the best top tier s rank waifu, but that is obviously because you have bad taste. Because she is clearly the best and my love for her continues to this day. In fact, the first upload ever on FAKKU was an Asuka doujinshi!
I debuted FAKKU to the public on December 1st, 2006. Back then we had no ads on the site and survived entirely on user donations. Users helped the site grow by sharing our links on messages boards, chans, games of Warcraft 3, anywhere and everywhere to get people to visit and stick around. In preparation for this post I was looking through some of my old comments from back then, it turns out back in February 2007 (three months after FAKKU went online) I posted the following: "The future for FAKKU is looking awesome. Soon we will have multiple people uploading manga directly to the site, which means a ton of updates every single day. Eventually I want to start translating the more popular manga titles, I want to talk with Japanese publishers and get them to ship us the actual manga and sell it on the site. There is so much that FAKKU still has in store!"
Now, 8 years later, we have achieved all of my initial goals and more. And it really is we who accomplished it, none of this would have happened without all of you. When it comes down to it I was just a perverted kid who wanted to fap to Asuka hentai, you drove me and everyone else who has been a part of FAKKU over the years to do the best we could. And now we have achieved the unbelievable, we are working with the artists we have been fans of for all these years! So to celebrate our anniversary we will be releasing our next three books with chapters uploaded daily throughout the month of December building up to Christmas. Full book downloads will be available at the end of the month when all the chapters have been posted!
Thank you for an amazing 8 years FAKKU, I can't wait to see what we achieve in the next 8!

I've been wondering when you'd get around to Meme50. I actually forgot about this tank, but it's a good one. I shall continue to await the day you announce Limit Break, We're All in Heat, and Gucho Gucho Sakari-chan.All amazing books as well, Meme 50 has a lot of good work. This is only the first we'll be doing!
For our first Meme 50 book we are starting with XXX Maiden! This won't be available until early late 2015.
Release Dates
Digital - October 1st, 2015
Paperback - December 2015
Get the book here!
We wanted to announce this title now because Wanimagazine just released their latest Talking Girls app to coincide with the new Meme 50 book in Japan. Download the app (it's only available on Android) by clicking one of the images below and start touching some talking girls.
Here's a page from inside the book! We'll be updating this thread with more info as we start working on it.

Lots of good feedback in this thread. I'll be making some changes to how the books appear but they will always be featured on the front page. That will not change. Keep in mind we are already hiding Renai Sample and PuniKano from the front page already because I felt like having more than three books was too much. And I plan to add a dedicated "Books" section sometime in the future.If it's feasible Jacob (not sure if it'd mess up code) you could make the paid books icons smaller in width. While this would make them look a little less attractive potentially and maybe skew the thumbnail, not only would it allow you to fit more paid books at the top, but people would be able to differentiate easily.
It's funny actually, several months ago on the flight back from Japan after securing our publishing deal I sketched out some mockups for the new front page. I'll have to dig up that notebook and see if I came up with anything good.

Am I the only one having the issue where you click on Bosshi to try and buy it but it just loops the main english manga store page? I just want to buy all 3 new manga at once.Are you still having this problem? It looks like all the books were successfully added to your account.
I ended up getting around it by using the buy book link on the book's actual overview page on fakku(https://www.fakku.net/manga/peachy-butt-girls-english). I still haven't been able to get to the page directly through the store though, it still loops/goes nowhere.
To expand a bit, I go to https://store.fakku.net/manga-doujinshi/english-manga?product_id=626 and click on the bosshi book, and it just basically refreshes the page and goes nowhere.
Aha! I didn't realize it was the page on the store, should be fixed now.

Since there's no leveling done to the raws (iirc they get raw digital directly from Wani), it's probably supposed to be like that.This is the case here. That page is actually supposed to be the table of contents with all of the page numbers which is why it's darker. We'll get it updated later today.

BECAUSE TEMPTATIONS. I was able to read all three of them just fine after that.:DIs there any way I can cancel and get a refund the first order of Peachy-Butt Girls? @-@'

Hello Jacob,Not so much as not being able to access the books online, however I had a question regarding processing vs completed order status.
Two of my previous orders #23019 and #19772 are currently in the status of processing, however I do have access to the online copies (yay!).
Just tonight with another purchase, #30267, the status was updated as complete almost immediately.
Any cause for concern regarding the two orders on a pending status?
Thanks,
~ts
I believe it's because those orders are for the paperback + digital, the issues seem to be coming from the huge amount of orders for the digital editions. It's basically just clogging the pipes and some random orders aren't getting the books immediately. I'm working on fixing it, someones gotta clean these pipes.
