Physical collection

Nice collection OP, I live with my parents so I can't buy any :(

>>4631710
thanks man, even though i live alone i still keep it locked and hidden because who knows when a family or friend will come to visit. gotta be ninja about this stuff. and i was surprised i didn't get stop by customs because some of these books are very questionable lol.

>>4631710
I live with my mother and she knows I have a few porn games. We had a joke about it and that was about it. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

Why do you have to hide your habits from your friends?
Those are some bad friends, buddy.

I picked up Udon-ya's monster hunter works when I went overseas last summer. Have been waiting for a translation of #15 to fire off a giveaway of a couple extras I picked up.

Didn't have a lot of time so I skipped comiket itself and just hit mandrake with the big rush. Some asshole bought the wall scroll I wanted, and ZERO copies of #9 itself available anywhere I looked, not unexpected.

>was going fakku mistake?
Well, they are uncensored and translated but you are basically paying Fakku to DMCA even more stuff and openly shill on 4chan. All while giving even less money to artists themselves and leaving absolutely zero impact on publisher's future decisions to recontract them, reprint their works etc.

>>4631710
I know a guy who lives with his mom in his mid 20s and has a collection of 900+ articles with half of it being loli AND he lives in a country where it is illegal although not as enforced as it is in leafistan. She copes with it by saying:
>Well, at least he is not hanging out with bad people and doing drugs.

Can you actually fap to physical eromanga? I have a little collection (non-hentai) and I can't imagine how they fap to that book, it must be very uncomfortable or maybe they use an automatic onahole or something?; I think with doujinshi it is possible cause the book is bigger but I don't know

>>4632220
Do I see anything about shiosaba down there?

>>4632238
Which is actually another good excuse to shit on Fakku since "muh censorship" and "muh translation" don't matter because nobody actually faps to physical books or even re-reads them properly. It's 99% about collecting shit and supporting artists.
In fact if you look closely, Op did not even bother to unwrap his shit.

>>4632238
Only to digital, I don´t want to ruin my physical manga with lube or semen.

>>4632257
good eye. i literally got them in the mail yesterday and was too busy to unwrap them. but i will/ am unwrapping them right now. i know 100% that i am not actually going to fap to them because we all know that digital is the best way. but i spent atleast $400 on them and i'll be damn if i am just going to leave it on the self and not touch and open them at least once. i aint a damn book store lol. it's nice just to flip through them and if it turns me on then i'll just go and read the digital version of it on my computer.
also getting cum and lube on it would be a really bad investment but hot glue-er would say otherwise.

>>4632283
>$400
>check FAKKU
>they are ACTUALLY asking for 20 bucks for a single 1-4 years old tank

I know my complaining about that shithole is becoming dangerously autistic, but god fucking damn it. Yes, yes it was a mistake, fuck you. Did they AT LEAST ship that garbage for free?

>>4632238
>use an automatic onahole or something
there are no good ones though, wish there were

>>4632228
Do you also regret buying it?

>>4632293
lol didn't buy it straight from fakku. got it from one of their distributors and they were on sale for $15 each and free 4 day shipping.
i assume 8-10 you're paying for the raw tank has shipping at makes it $1-2 less than the fakku books i got. i would like to think that l'm paying that extra $1-2 for even $3 for it being uncensored and in english. hell no will buy it at full price. l'm stupid for buying fakku but l'm not that retardedly stupid.

I'm collecting all the fakku releases. I love them all so much

>>4632451
i got most of mine from here:http://www.rightstufanime.com/category/Manga/publisher/FAKKU

but wait until they have a sale on them. they usually will drop to $15. the last sale was a week ago and everything was in stock but now most of it is sold out. so it might be long until another sale comes again. i have been tracking that site for a full year and they only have had the fakku books/adult books go on sale twice in 1 year....

>>4632455
Thanks for the tip. I buy my copies from fakku because fakku gives the digital edition for free as a bonus. Then I can fap to the digital and collect the paperbacks

>>4631701
I don't see the incense of collecting physical things like that. Is it some sort of OCD like hoarding? I understand it's some form of sickness, but how serious is it? Do you feel the need to fill your whole houses with the stuff?

Also ignore the hate you see on 4chan. Fakku has done a nice job with their books and some of the books even have messages from the artist to their fakku fans.

>>4632467
Yes, Anon-kun! Please pay Jacob-san 3x price of original books! He and his friends are doing such great work translating comic books that were translated months ago and shitting up covers with public domain typefaces! They even give you whopping 30 seconds worth of Text from the author at the end of each book AND remove those nasty black bars from porn books you will never actually jerk off to!
Let's spread the beauty of hentai manga together, Anon! Buy enough books and maybe ExE and a bunch of other publishers will follow Wani's steps and sign up with us while asking us to DMCA their works off every hentai manga site we can get our hands on! All so you can purchase Tankoubons 6 months after their official release for 20-25 dollars a piece!
Ain't that a livin'g, anon-kun?

>>4632466
i like to compare it to buying posters of sexy women and putting it up on a wall in your room. it's pretty to look at and puts you into the mood to fap. but in my case the books go onto a shelf where it's less noticable. it's like the bugfag guys at /a/ but less expensive imo.

my OCD however is the digital stuff. the reason is because it has many benefits; it's mostly free(pirated), it looks good and the stories and situation are sometimes very interesting, and finally you can fap to it lol.

but the physical shit i assume is mainly for display purposes and *supporting the artist* because who wants to have cum and lube ruin something you paid $10-20 for.

what kind of advances tier autism is this? is that how desperate criticizing fakku has gotten? using public domain fonts iS A GOOD THING

>>4632490
Nothing said against them in this thread is true really. The only criticism that has anything to do with reality is that books come out months after the original release, but most chapters are already translated through their magazines for newer books. The majority of it is grasping at straws and misinformation/lies, and calling anyone who points this out a shill.

>>4632528
I guess the main point is that most of the covers look like shit with the ones they chose.

>>4632535
What lies? The fact that they ask more than double the original price? The fact that Fakku and their deal with Wani were responsible for the Purge? The fact that japanese publishers could not give less fucks about Fakku during their decision making?
Fakku's representative OPENLY coming to this site and posting on /a/ and /h/, a simple fact that a lot of the scanlators/translators who got hired by it browse this and are pretty much guaranteed to participate in threads like this?

Calling you a shill would at least imply that you are actually getting something off it instead of being a useful retard who pays 500+ bucks for a bunch of outdated books to fuck everyone else over.

>>4632567
the purge was eventually going to happen anyways. you think wani is just going to let sites that share there stuff for free go on forever with out doing something about it? really?

>>4632567
It's too easy to shut people like you up, watch and learn. Please, now that I have proven you wrong point by point, come up with some new lies for next time.

>The fact that they ask more than double the original price?
English + Uncensored + Quality better than every other english publisher? It's worth it if you want to pay for the books

>The fact that Fakku and their deal with Wani were responsible for the Purge?
This has been proven wrong by everyone involved, including TENBORO THE OWNER OF EXHENTAI.

>The fact that japanese publishers could not give less fucks about Fakku during their decision making?
Also wrong, Wani invited Fakku president to speak to all of their hentai artists in Japan.
Sales of Fakku books pay more to the artist than Japanese sales confirmed here: http://tsff.sakura.ne.jp/about_fakku/
also even doujin are having a huge impact thanks to fakku

It's ironic because before fakku we were stuck waiting on leftover magazine scans from chinese groups posted months after the magazines come out in japan. and even then they freak out when it gets uploaded to the panda and ban people on their forums.

fakku is doing gods work and I'm happy they are finally being recognized for it

>>4632609

>It's worth it if you want to pay for the books
Read yourself, you fucking cunt. You are implying that mere translation and removal of censorship makes it ok to sell a product for two to three times the fucking price.

Ok. I will give it to you in the light of posted proofs.

>Also wrong, Wani invited Fakku president to speak to all of their hentai artists in Japan.
This whole fucking paragraph shows how much of a dishonest bitch you are. First you are implying that the Faggot visiting Japan once a year equals to publishers giving two fucks about the revenue they get from the site months after their book's prime.
Then you are linking me to a blog posts about DIGITAL DOUJIN sales getting as if it is even fucking remotely relevant to the topic.

>This is just a dumb point. I am happy to have members of glorious Fakku™ openly astroturfing their glorious shit site on 4chan
But I guess I can't call you a shill now because you have pointed out that your retarded behavior will make you look like one beforehand. Damn it.


>>4632607
Besides the fact that you are leaving zero impact and are forced to wait and pay $20 when, by that point, original ones are sold at a discount?

the only thing that i hate about fakku is their fucking shipping. it's expensive as fuck for any county other than USA. sometimes even more expensive than buying raw tanks in japan using EMS shipping. the fuck fakku.

>>4632047
>All while giving even less money to artists themselves

That's not true at all though. Each artist gets more money from a single FAKKU book sale than an equivalent JP sale of the same book.

>>4632257
>Which is actually another good excuse to shit on Fakku

That's a funny thing to say when FAKKU actually gives you a free digital version when you buy physical (though it's only available when buying directly from the FAKKU store, but well, it's a rare thing for a book publisher to offer in the first place), so you get both the physical book for collecting purposes and the digital edition for convenience.

>>4632629
Wow. You get a digital version of a book you've already read DRM-free outside of your shitsite which is the reason you are buying it in the first place?

newfag here, where are the best places to buy raw tanks? and maybe that have decent discounts on old books?

>>4632628
International shipping sucks for small companies, basically. You'd need to do something like get warehouses around the world and do shipping closer to the target in order to cut the prices down at this point, and that kind of stuff would require quite a lot of upfront investment.

>>4632629
>That's not true at all though. Each artist gets more money from a single FAKKU book sale than an equivalent JP sale of the same book.
Well, that doesn't really affect the relevancy argument but I won't mind proper sources for your statements.

>>4632642
I mean, I work for FAKKU, and I know that for a fact. You're not really going to get a more direct source than that. I can't say anything more specific than that though due to contractual obligations when it comes to books.

For magazines I sadly can't really say anything specific at all for the same reason, besides the fact that it's certainly resulting in nice extra income for artists for basically zero extra effort on their part.

The one thing where I can talk exact numbers though is doujin stuff - with that artists get a 70% cut of the sales, which is better than what eg. DLSite and DMM offer (~50-60%) at similar price points.

>>4632655
>I won't prove shit but you should trust me more than anyone, I'm a literal paid shill!
Ok.

>>4632662
How exactly are you supposed to prove something if you refuse to trust the direct sources on the matter?

>>4632669
You are not a direct source. You are a person with an established bias claiming positive shit about your site and refusing to prove any of it beyond your own words. Don't you see a problem here? It's a fundamental issue and a reason why none of you should have ever been open about posting in here.

currently trying to buy some mem50 tanks off of melonbooks and fucking all these hoops i gotta jump through. why the fuck do i need to sign up to a proxy sites to buy hentai shit from japan? and melonbooks and toranoana website is a mess for people that don't know how to read japanese, FUCKKK i just want meme50 latest tank.

>>4632624
>sell a product for two to three times the fucking price.
The physical books are about twice as expensive, but the digital are the same as in Japan. I'd like to see what book they have for $30.

>after their book's prime.
It's not the same market. A bunch of weeb games take months if not years to get a western release. The average US consumer isn't going to think "looks cool, but this came out in 2015 in Japan, so I'm not buying." Sure you can read scans or Fakku's magazines ahead of time, but that's literally the same situation as in Japan.

>Then you are linking me to a blog posts about DIGITAL DOUJIN
Agreed. We have multiple sources saying that Fakku give very good deals to the artists on doujins. No hard facts on books/magazines other than word of mouth. I don't believe the artists would agree to getting pennies on each book sale, but maybe they really are slaves as you like to believe.

I'm giving you as much information as I can, though. I'd love to go into more detail, but leaking contractual secrets is something you just don't do.

But really, the fact that artists have drawn thank you pages for FAKKU, left comments on FAKKU, retweeted announcements for the FAKKU versions of their books, written additional afterwords for the FAKKU releases and more should go to show that the artists are very much happy with what they're getting out of it.

"Three times" thing is attributed to flash sales, yen being worth less than a dollar and so on.

>I don't believe the artists would agree to getting pennies on each book sale, but maybe they really are slaves as you like to believe.
Once again: even though artists get revenue from sales, books themselves belong to the publishers. Their production is monitored and controlled by publishers based on a bunch of factors with Fakku not even being on the list. Publishers are the ones who choose (or not) to allow their books on Fakku.

>>4632711
>"Three times" thing is attributed to flash sales, yen being worth less than a dollar and so on.
Uhh what you're fucking stupid. In that case, overtime Fakku has a sale there books are cheaper too

kys

>>4632711
>Publishers are the ones who choose (or not) to allow their books on Fakku
No that's not true. What the fuck kind of idiotic bullshit are you spewing

even huge artists like Oda Non link to their fakku releases
https://twitter.com/odanondesu/status/796994304992415744

Ind the end of the day look at what FAkku was able to accomplish:
bring out never before seen uncensored content/ books from the best hentai artist in japan, and releasing them in english.
what have you done? pirate shit off panda? complain that the amount of shit you can pirate off of panda have decreased? fucking hell boy.

>>4632711
>books themselves belong to the publishers

This isn't really true though. The actual rights to always remain with the author, and the publishers merely have the permission to publish them in specific ways. You can see this from many things, like for how example with Yurikawa's latest tank pretty much all the chapters were originally published in Wani's X-EROS but the tankoubon with those same chapters was published by GOT.

As such, when it comes to FAKKU, naturally permission is required both from the publisher and the original artist in order to release anything, because the publisher and artist's original contract only covers the Japanese release.

Also, FAKKU actually gets more interest from artists wanting their stuff released in English than it can actually handle, and this has been going on for a good while - a year back saitom basically directly approached FAKKU and how he wants to work with the company to release his stuff in English, leading to FAKKU doing both his most recent Wani book as well as the saitom box with a bunch of his doujins (of which the latest one was actually released in English before being released in Japanese).

>>4632714
You mean "Few re-sellers MAY have a sale months down the line (a.k.a. more than a year after release) because Fakku itself does not seem to feature any sales on their store"?

>>4632715
How exactly is artists re-tweeting it related to my statement? Why the fuck would they NOT retweet it?

>>4632728
Talking to you is worse than trying to convince a a flat earther that the earth is spherical. Just get off the internet and go back to school

>>4632724
>FAKKU actually gets more interest from artists wanting their stuff released in English than it can actually handle
Oh yeah. Kind of weird I forgot that part. The infamous "Jacob fucking over artists to open up slots for his personal favorites" part.

>>4632737
Uh, what. He's the president of the company, if he wants to publish an artist he gets to do it.

You go start your own publishing company and publish the things you want.

>>4632737
You certainly switched gears fast from trying to claim that artists have no say at all in what FAKKU releases and like it didn't matter to them at all.

Also, that's some hilariously desperate spin you're trying to put into things there.

>>4632728
They do have sales, like free shipping on Black Friday or 50% discount on Valentines day.
They also had part of the subscription section open for free on that weekend.

>>4632748
The initial argument was that when it comes to books, fakku is an irrelevant leftovers trashcan for publishers and artists to get some additional cash from. Kind of like Steam is for a lot of console oriented developers except steam doesn't ask for two times the price. It's about the fact that purchasing same tanks 6 months earlier for half of the price leaves more impact on the publishers and is actually attributed to books success. That makes artists more desirable to other publishers, contracts for merch, anime adaptations etc.

All I got in response was idiots who don't know a difference between doujinshi and a published book and you flaunting your irrelevant trivia only to then admit in the same fucking post that publisher's permission IS required. Talk about gear switching.

>>4632795
Fakku publishes 4 magazines monthly, the same month they go up in Japan. Fakku has published doujin BEFORE they get published in Japan.

No one gives a shit what you think because you're moving the goalpost like an autistic fuckboy.

Before Fakku, we had to wait years for entire books to be translated. Before Fakku there was never a single instance of an entire magazine being translated cover to cover. Before Fakku seeing these artists work uncensored was impossible.

Fuck off back to your third world country.

>>4632798
>thread and a discussion very clearly dedicated to physical book copies
>BUT MUH DIGITAL MAGAZINE SCANS THO
>you're moving the goalpost like an autistic fuckboy.
The poetry.

>>4632800
Fakku with their books create a brand new product. Uncensored, english, etc etc

That's why so many people support them. You are trying to find retarded reasons to dislike fakku and continue pirating, everytime you post you get proven wrong by multiple people.

I've seen you over and over again because your posting style is the same autistic nonsense. Fakku is THE BEST hentai publisher outside of Japan. Hands down no contest. Somehow that's not good enough for you

>>4632711
>"Three times" thing is attributed to flash sales, yen being worth less than a dollar and so on.
So the books are much more expensive when not on sale compared to when they are on sale? I hope I misunderstood you, because that's beyond retarded. That unless you think it's fair because Fakku never do sales (which isn't true) and they have sales all the time in Japan.

This is where I ended up going through Wani's site: http://book.dmm.co.jp/list/comic/?floor=Abook&article=manufacture&id=40229

This goes back to 2011 and the books are the exact same price as the newer ones. 1080 yen ($9.70) typically, some for a few 100 extra. The books don't magically drop in value after 6 months. Like I already said, digital books cost the same, physical about double. Some examples:

Oda Non: $24.95/1296 yen = 214%
Typical case: $19.95/1080 yen = 206%
Ishikei: $24.95/1404 yen = 198%
Homunculus: $19.95/1188 yen = 187%
Bosshi: $19.95/1234 yen = 180%

You need to buy a typical book for 35% off if you want your "three times as expensive" claim to be true, while pretending your idea of comparing discounted items with full price items is a sane thing to do.

>>4632795
>then admit in the same fucking post that publisher's permission IS required

...Of course it is? The point was that you were talking like it was the ONLY thing required and artists had no word in it, which is very much not the case.

And what really is your point here anyway? That the domestic market for the books is bigger? No shit, sherlock - it's been around much longer and is much more established. That doesn't mean that the foreign market would be irrelevant, though (or that it wouldn't support the artists all the same). FAKKU's success has certainly not remained unnoticed in Japan and has made interest in foreign markets increase quite a bit among both artists and publishers, and some things Wani has done recently have been directly inspired by FAKKU as well.

>>4632806
And to add to this, did you see the yuri-ism link posted earlier in >>4632575? Let me quote that in more detail:

>What impact has it had?: Ever since selling her Precure works and starting to sell Rules of Zero. Isya has tossed around the idea of getting an office to work on yuri on a more full time basis. Currently she has to balance her job and drawing at the same time. With so many con deadlines for her to meet in Japan, she often ends up having to rush to get it done in time. With the help of English sales, she may be able to achieve her dream of being a full time artist.

>With the help of English sales, she may be able to achieve her dream of being a full time artist.

Especially for doujin artists like her, the foreign market can end up having a huge impact, which is just about the opposite of irrelevant.

>>4632813

Ok. I know that arguing with you of all people is literally useless for obvious reasons but let me still repeat the points I've made ever since the start that you faggots kept on trying to derail. Not for you. For non-shills and neutral people who may actually read this shit,

1. When you order books from FAKKU. You are paying double the price for something as basic as a goddamn translation. It is not and has never been normal to ask 100% of the price for a shitty translation and whopping 3 minutes of work it takes to remove miniscule censorship from original files. If you think it's ok just because they hold a monopoly then you are a fucking retard.
2. Domestic support is the one that actually matters. If support is your sole purpose then you should know that you are not supporting shit by waiting moths for a book only to pay double the price to Jacob. Buying from Japan directly is cheaper, faster AND leaves more impact. Even if we assume that the faggot is not lying and artists do in fact get a little more cash per book sold on FAKKU. GUESS WHAT, FAGGOT? For each FAKKU book you can order TWO non-FAKKU ones. Or pay a little more and order a Book and two physical copies of doujinshi by the same author. You get more stuff and artists get more support for the same price.
3. No, supporting trash just because trash has a monopoly does not make you less of a trash eater. Especially when all you need to do to circumvent said monopoly is a couple of google searches and a "Translate website page to English" feature.
4. By buying FAKKU's shit you are also quite literally paying FAKKU and their employees to shill and astroturf on 4chan.

>>4632861
Would be nice if you had anything to back up your claims, but you're entitled to your opinion. Others will continue to call you out when you lie though. I'm sure someone will pick up on you saying they have a monopoly three times in that short rant. Glad to see you at least gave up on the "three times the price" absurdity.

I think I can sum it all up in a simple way:

If you want to read hentai censored and in Japanese, import from Japan. It's likely cheaper if you buy in bulk after shipping/taxes. Also forget about digital, because it's shit.

If you want to read hentai uncensored and in English, buy from Fakku. It's more expensive, but it's an arguably superior product for a Westerner. If you're not in the US, shipping will screw you over regardless. Digital is excellent, thanks to our Lord and Savior Daiz.

No one knows exactly how the money is distributed from domestic or overseas sales, unless you're Fakku or Wani. You just have to use your own judgement and ask yourself if you think the artists want to get paid for their work. If the answer is yes, it's fair to assume they get paid no matter who you buy from. For doujins, we know Fakku is great for artists.

Question
Can i use paypal to buy books and membership now?
[spoiler]I do have a credit card from a hellscape country with hellscape currency[/spoiler]

Are you kidding me? Buyin physical ero mangas? I dont have anything against buyfags(i'm one of them) but in all the otaku stuff why pick on physical eromanga? You wont fap to that(digital wins we can agree) and you are just wasting space in you bookshelves and dont forget the dust, dust, and then fakku shit... my god... you're all lost man, idk what to say

>>4632916
The same fucking reason people buy MTG cards or collect cars.
They won't use them but would be happy knowing that they have one of it.

>>4633809

>>4632238
Normal doujinshi are really flat so it's not a problem. You can even lie them on the table. Tanks are somewhat unhandy. And then there are things like Udon-ya's collection doujinshi which are too heavy to hold even without fapping.

>>4632238

That happens every time I try to get something particular on mandarake.

>>4632803
Not the one you're replying to but if I were to buy a book from fakku, I would have to pay something around 40 Euros because of shipping. Compared to what I have to pay from Japan with shipping that's little over 3 times as much.

>>4632323

>>4634273
>admitting to being poor

Gonna go eat my caviar on toast while I get sucked off thanks

>>4634260
Well there is no issue when it is a couple of books but, as you may have seen in this thread, those idiots just grab everything fakku has in stock regardless of their personal preferences. Which is also an argument for mental retardation of it's shills since they are letting Jacob pick for them instead of choosing between literal thousands of articles but I digress.When you have 20+ books the difference suddenly becomes worth literal hundreds of dollars.

>>4634284
Even hundreds of dollars is nothing, but then I forget that some of the people here are 20+ and living with their parents still, where literally $5 made a big difference.

I'm glad that I didn't collect stuff like Fakku books when I was a poorfag.

>>4634289
Well, I'm glad that we can have "lol ur just too poor to pay for overpriced trash" added to our list of credible pro-fakku arguments.

>>4634301
I don't think so. I can afford the stuff, but I don't want to "support" Fakku. It's the same with games, why buy them when you can just torrent them? Because you want to support the devs a bit.

What I don't get is, why are people buying Fakku books when they're "overpriced", yet they claim to be poorfags? The money is better spent elsewhere.

The price of Fakku books isn't the problem, it's the way that the company handles itself that is.

>>4634301
I don't think he's making a pro-Fakku argument. His somewhat elitist argument is that $100 is not an mount of money you fuss over when you have a job, and I have to agree as someone with a modest yearly income of around 35k. If you can save any money, go for it, but it's not a huge deal either way.

If you buy 20 books at 75% discount, you're saving $100 (one hundred, not literally hundreds). You can make that in two days working minimum wage. You're missing out on $200 worth of digital versions by not buying from Fakku, but I guess you can pirate those or maybe what you save on shipping makes up for it. Point is whatever money you save on something as cheap as hentai books is neglectable when you have a disposable income.

>>4634320
stfu, we all know what your real issues with fakku is. it's because you are still salty that you can't pirate as much on panda anymore, you poorfag.

>>4634321
I guess you are right if you are talking about about the guy buying those books for $15 a piece. I just kind of misinterpreted it in the context of a later discussion about fakku vs original in which case your typo is not even a typo and a saved ammount may actually reach 75% of fakku's price at which point I don't think you can really ignore it regardless of your earnings.

>>4634325
t. fakku shill who is salty at people who have enough brain capacity to be able to order from Japan

>>4634335
Still comparing apples and oranges. Come back when japanese releases are uncensored and translated. Until then shut the fuck up with this strawman.

>>4634325
It's like you can't even read. I personally do not have an issue with Fakku, but some people do.

If Fakku wants to put shit behind a paywall and I want to read it, all I need to do is pay, no problem.

>>4634335
who jerk off to back bars while not understanding wtf is going on in the book, so they start making up conversation in their heads about what the characters could be saying. "fuck me harder big boss".

>>4634343
you literally just wrote you don't want to support fakku and now you're saying you will buy shit from them if they have stuff you like. the fuck wrong you with dumbfag?

>>4634345
Yes, I don't get what there is to not understand.
Let me dumb it down for you: I don't want to support Fakku, but if they have stuff I want to fap to that I can't get elsewhere, then I'll buy it.

Whether or not Fakku takes money from me, or someone else, makes literally no difference.

Digital shit costs nothing when you actually don't live in your mum's basement like you - enjoy constantly whining about Fakku and getting nowhere.

>>4634337
Oh, boy. I bet those translations and de-censoring are worth paying two times as much and being able to choose between whopping 30 books. Yep. I'm sure all those "collections" of the same fucking tanks posted in this thread are from people who really just happened to enjoy those particular titles and not gullible retards who open their mouth and let Jacob shit in it regardless of what will come out of the ass Steve Jobs-style.

>>4634331
The folly of comparing original and Fakku releases aside, I still don't buy it. You have to get the Japanese book for over 50% off (556 yen) to save 75% compared to Fakku. They announced a book today that's from 2013. Why is it I can go to the major retailers (Amazon, DMM, DLsite, Getchu) and they're all selling it for 1080, not a yen below the original price? The book is over 3 years old, yet it hasn't dropped at all in price. I'm sure you can find sales somewhere, but it's not commonplace.

>>4634348
Because hentai/anime stuff is aimed at a niche market, and they know that they can price high with people still buying it since they can't get it anywhere else.

>>4634347
It's not decensoring, and yes, uncensored is worth paying that. Because the only way to get more uncensored works is by providing the money to produce them.

>>4634347
You could always learn to decensor yourself, but why waste the time when you can just pay some no life to do it for you?

>>4634346
are you that autistic bruh? even if your intentions for buying the book is purple for you own entertainment. it still contradicts what you said earlier. you don't like how fakku handles their company but by paying for their book it still makes you indirectly support them and the way they handle their business. you densefag.

>>4634357
lol typed purple instead or "purely" fucking dumbfag am i.

>>4634357
Holy shit what do you not get?
>I don't like Fakku
>I don't want to support them
>they release something that I want and can't get elsewhere
>I RELUCTANTLY buy from them so that I can fap

There you go, I put it in le 4chin eggsdee greentext, just for you, since you seem to be unable to understand any text that you can't just skim read.
Try picking up an actual book instead of doujinshi and maybe you'll actually be able to do something with your life and make friends outside of the body pillows in your mum's basement.

Godspeed anon.

>>4634348
Well, there is a bunch of factors here. Even in your particular case, it's still 150-200% of the price. But then there are also things mentioned in this thread such as:
>rather sparse sales on sites you've quoted
>in-store sales that are actually more frequent but would require you having a person who would be willing to actually go and buy there
>shipping costs from America being inherently retarded
>japan's vast second-hand market
Not all of these points apply to everyone (i.e. the only second-hand shit I buy are out of stock doujinshi) but they still justify saying that a smart buyer can indeed save more than 80% of fakku's price. Not always, sure but that's just how it is.

>>4634354
Yeah, nah.The fact that it's not a proper de-censoring is actually a reason to NOT pay for it since de-censoring takes actual work whereas all fakku does is remove a single layer in photoshop.

>>4634360
are you some special kind of newfag or something? because everyone knows people that buy fakku books(the physical ones) one fap to them. they keep it on the self for display purposes or just look through a few pages and put it back on the self. the digital version is the ones that can be used to fap too. unless you like having your books stained with cum and lube.

unlike you, the smartfags buy the digital books, convert it so that it can be shared to others online and then ask for a refund. and fakku always gives full refunds on digital copies. you newfag.

Anyway, even if it's only paying for someone to remove the censoring layer, that's still something you couldn't get without that someone getting paid. Which will only happen if enough people pay for the result.

If you have a guy in Japan who stakes out hentai stores to buy you books on sale, you're a lot more hardcore than your average consumer. If that works for you, great, but you have to acknowledge that you're in the vast minority.

Fakku targets the majority who has never imported anything from Japan, and values reading it in English and uncensored. We are in fact talking about two different products. If Fakku was only an importer that sold the exact same Japanese copies for $20, you'd have a point. It's not about being a smart consumer or not, but what you want out of the product.

It's like me paying $60 for TLoU remastered for PS4 on launch, and you going on about how you found a PS3 disk in a bargain bin in Poland for $5. Good for you? I don't have a PS3 and don't wanna play it in Polish. It's not a very useful comparison.

>>4634387
>fakku shills are the ones who think it's ok to pay a full price for a remaster
Go figure.

>>4634387
THIS.
if the poorfags don't get it by now after reading that, then they never will.

>>4634384
You analogy falls short on one point. It's not the receipt that say 50% is for "spoon rental." It's you going off and yelling about how they charge double the price to rent a spoon, which is something you made up. There are likely other, more reasonable explanations for the price (such as being the only restaurant in town means it's costly to get the food delivered to the place), but you are dead set on it and storm out and scream about spoons in the street.

>>4634386
What. And no woman has anything against you cumming early as long as you can keep fucking her.

>>4634397
>It's not the receipt that say 50% is for "spoon rental."
Yeah, but your lot is the one all too eager to say that it's worth paying double the price just for better spoons.

Do you understand? Whether it is licensing costs, printing costs or Jacob just straight out putting those 5-10 bucks per book in fakku's pockets is not any of our business. What matters is that something as trivial as translation and bar removal has NEVER been worth 100% of the price in any other medium and as such any person who says that they pay specifically for that (and not, say, for convenience or the fact that fakku is a monopoly right now) is either lying to himself or being a retard on purpose.

Localized movies don't cost 200% of the original price. And neither do games and books. And when they do for a variety of retarded reasons people NEVER defend this shit. And yet fakku gets a pass.

>>4634438
>What matters is that something as trivial as translation and bar removal has NEVER been worth 100% of the price in any other medium and as such any person who says that they pay specifically for that (and not, say, for convenience or the fact that fakku is a monopoly right now) is either lying to himself or being a retard on purpose.
We understand that it's not worth it to you. But it IS worth it to me, because if nobody pays for that then there will be no more uncensored releases. It's not even about Fakku, I do the same for Project-H uncensored releases and 2D-Market doujinshi, as well as uncensored animated hentai from Trimax and the like.

I pay for uncensored (as opposed to decensored) works that I like because I have the money and want to see more uncensored works. Simple as that.

So I'm neither lying nor retarded for wanting more of the things I like and paying for them since I can. If you really want to compare something to this, consider Patreon where people pay $100 or more a month for art from mediocre artists just because they like the art.

>>4634438
>What matters is that something as trivial as translation and bar removal

Translating and editing a whole 200+ page book, especially with full SFX, is not exactly a "trivial" task like you keep saying, you know. And the digital versions cost the same as they do in Japan (except you get a much better product for your money with the FAKKU version).

>>4634461
stop spelling fakku in all caps you fucking daizfag.

>>4634472
I tend to spell companies how they do it themselves. That applies even to companies I don't like, eg. I think FUNimation is an awful company but I still spell them like that (or FUNi for short) when talking about them.

>>4634438
>Localized movies don't cost 200% of the original price.
Funny you'd say that: http://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-most-expensive-movie-ticket-prices-around-the-world.html
The average ticket price in the US is $8. If you live in a country like Norway, where they have to localize the movie, it's close to $16. This is 200% of the original price. This line stands out too:
>Because Hollywood plays such a dominant role in the global cinematic landscape, it’s not surprising that North American movie ticket prices lie on the lower end of the international movie ticket price spectrum.
Based on that, it's not a huge leap in logic to assume something like this:
>Because Japan plays such a dominant role in the global hentai landscape, it’s not surprising that Japanese hentai book prices lie on the lower end of the international hentai book price spectrum.
It's almost as if different countries have different markets for media. Who would've thought!

>>4634460
>I'm not a retard for supporting a company with shit practices because I want to do it and can afford it!
>Billy is not retarded for taking a shit in the sandbox. He just chose to do it and nobody has stopped him!

>>4634461
So should I take the fact that you are still trying to pretend that it is a normal practice to ask so much for a localization as admission of the fact that your company does indeed just pocket that cash?

>>4634477
finally, someone with more than a shred of common sense. these poorfags only want more free handouts from panda.

>>4634477
>If you live in a country like Norway, where they have to localize the movie, it's close to $16.
Except if you read your damn article you will see that it has nothing to do with localization. They have to localize it in third world shitholes like Brazil and Russia too and yet they aren't even on the list because their average ticket prices are even lower. Localization has ZERO impact on the prices.

Furthermore, I know for a fact that they don't even localize most of the movies in Eastern and Northern Europe and just run them with subtitles.

>>4634489
Exactly. I'm not retarded enough to claim it costs twice as much just to sub the movie to Norwegian. There are a million factors that determine the price of a product, and just because you can't think of anything else but the most obvious doesn't mean that's the reason it costs more in your country.

>>4634483
Have you ever looked at what regular manga costs in the US? New copies are generally around $11-13 a volume.

FAKKU books are both physically larger (A5 vs A6) and printed on much higher quality paper, and also come with dust jackets and generally match the Japanese releases in all areas. FAKKU also has to print its books in Hong Kong and ship them around the world because US printers are all puritans who'd refuse to print most of the stuff FAKKU puts out.

Just these aspects alone increase the price by quite a bit. Then there's naturally stuff like the licensing and localization costs itself, which increase the price over the Japanese version. FAKKU also operates in lower volumes than regular manga in the US and hentai manga in Japan, which also increases the relative cost.

And speaking of the market, now also consider the fact that H-manga has generally cost around $20 per book in the US even before FAKKU came around - expect they basically did lower quality prints (usually around the same regular manga), so FAKKU is actually making comparatively less in terms of margins due to the higher quality printing while retaining the same price (plus then there's also the whole free digital with physical thing that FAKKU offers over others).

>>4634492

No problem, but you could've just checked pretty much any of the store pages, since it's mentioned pretty much everywhere relevant...

>So are you going to give me actual numbers

I explained pretty much all the things that factor into the price there. That should really be sufficient, considering that talking with "actual numbers" would require stuff like factoring in translator / editor wages for the project duration (and how much of that contributes exactly to each book if they work on multiple things within a given timeframe), how much the books actually sell etc. and that's the kind of internal company numbers you don't casually talk about in public.

>>4634501
I don't know what they are, but I'm sure there are reasons movies are so expensive in Norway. What I'm not doing is raging about the evil Norwegians on the Internet. You just got like 5 reasons why Fakku's books cost what they do, but your bias is too strong and you just deflect those.

>shitty

Really now? Also yes, FAKKU does SFX next to the originals most of the time (though stuff like SFX in bubbles always gets cleaned and replaced). That particular page doesn't have a whole lot of it, but I can pick something else if you want to see a lot of SFX on a single page.

>>4634513
I got 5 reasons that may as well sum up to the total of 2 dollars of additional price per book if you don't have the numbers.

these are the only anons that know how to read.

I will never understand why people pay for fakku stuff of their goal is to support the artist. Why not buy directly from Japan and then fap to it on panda? Could probably even get 2 or 3 for the price of 1 fakku book.

>Costs less
>More money to artist
>Your money has more impact
Why would anybody NOT do this? Serious question.

>>4634528
because they fucking make you jump through hoops when trying to buy it off of the Japanese sites. ex. having to use services like tenso.

>>4634520
Just take the printing aspects into account:

Typical manga costs $11-13. These are printed on paper that's twice as big, higher quality, and has to be shipped from the other side of the world. I think this is going to have a big impact on production costs. Out of curiosity, what is a fair price to you?

>>4634528
>Costs less
>More money to artist
That sure adds up. People say this all the time, but do you have any idea how much money the artist get from Japanese sales? Likewise, serious question.

>>4634528
The only thing that's really true from the things you listed is that a single physical book will cost less, though obviously it'll also be censored and in Japanese. Depending on where you live shipping and customs may make the difference smaller too (or admittedly bigger, because FAKKU's international shipping is awfully expensive). As for the other stuff, see these posts:
>>4632629

>>4632813

>>4634528
The worst part is that their selection is complete trash. What are the odds of you actually having more than a couple of your favorite books out there when you can choose between 30? People don't buy from Fakku in bulk to support anyone. They do it to be the part of an epic hentai-loving otaku meme club. It's a cancerous consumerism at it's absolute worst proven even further by autistic devotion this site gets from it's users.

>>4634537
You are not understanding my post. Obviously for people whose goal is to have a physical release that's uncensored should buy from fakku. If somebody's goal, ie the only reason they are even paying money at all is to support the artist, why should somebody but from fakku at all? Why not buy 2 or 3 jp releases for a comparible price?

>>4634537
Is the money Fakku gets from subscriptions funneled to artists themselves in any way?

>>4634535
>paper that's twice as big

Your post just made me realize that the common manga tankoubon size is actually JIS B6, not A6 (since literally twice as big certainly didn't sound right), so ISO A5 is actually just 1.33x bigger in terms of physical dimensions. My bad.

Still, as you say, bigger and much higher quality paper (plus color pages and dust jackets) shipped from the other side of the world definitely costs a lot more than lower quality no-frills JIS B6 prints done much closer.

>>4634538
>The worst part is that their selection is complete trash.

People have different tastes, you know. And vanilla is basically the most popular kind of hentai content, which is why FAKKU's book choices lean more toward that end than the other right now since ultimately we're still talking about a pretty young and small publisher - the bigger you are the more niche stuff you can do (since you'll have all the other stuff as a safety net to fall back on if the niche stuff itself doesn't do particularly well or move a lot of volume).

>>4634545
I can't talk any details (which is unfortunate because I think it's a fairly solid setup) but the artists certainly get nice extra money out of the subscription.

>>4634543
>If somebody's goal, ie the only reason they are even paying money at all is to support the artist, why should somebody but from fakku at all?

How many people actually do that, though, ie. give away their money expecting nothing in return? I would expect most people to want at least some concrete value in return for their money (at least I certainly do), so ideally you'd want to maximize the bang for buck for yourself when supporting something.

But if we're answering the question anyway, you might as well buy digital then. Costs about the same as in Japan, you still get a much better product (both in terms of quality and convenience), don't have to deal with shipping or customs, and artists can get even more out of than with Japanese alternatives (eg. how an artist would actually get less from DLSite/DMM in comparison to FAKKU for selling doujin content).

>>4634546
>People have different tastes,
It's not the matter of tastes and you know it Japan already got more brand new "safe books" in 2017 alone than Fakku managed to scrap up among all Japan's releases between 2010 and 2016. There are dozens of essential tomes that this site may or will never get and settling down for lesser stuff just because it got translated instead of buying what you really love is plain stupid. I know you can't just get all those books out of nowhere but that critique was addressed towards Fakku's users and not Fakku itself.

>>4634552
>how many people actually do that though?
I do and so do many others. I also torrent my anime but buy official jp BDs of my favorite shows. Looking to support artists this way too even though I just use panda.

>>4634552
Another question: Why exactly would fakku ever have a problem hosting doujinshi of all artists who would be willing to apply? I get it with physical books but what stops you from hosting digital ones?

>>4632467
Hige is my nig
Fakku should translate his every work

>>4634559
>Why exactly would fakku ever have a problem hosting doujinshi of all artists who would be willing to apply?

Well, right now it's mostly a resource allocation issue - there's more interest from artists than what FAKKU has manpower to deal with efficiently along with all the magazine and book stuff. Doujin work is slowly increasing though and we did release Victim Girls 20 from Fatalpulse just recently (and also started selling 2D-Market stuff, which so far includes another Victim Girls as well).

>>4634553
>It's not the matter of tastes

It really is, though.

>There are dozens of essential tomes that this site may or will never get

So what would you like to see picked up then?

>>4634578
I'm sure that all those people who only have f's books in their collections just happened to really love those same 10-20 books and were not getting most of them because they were the only ones available. Come on.

>So what would you like to see picked up then?
Shiwasu Alone has like 4 essential vanilla tankoubons. Mizuryu's book, Butcha's Book, Mochi's book Tamagoro's stuff. And those are some of the biggest best selling artists out there. What's even the point in asking when I can bet my ass that you already have all the panda/nhentai/japanese sales statistics you could ever need to gauge the interest.

>>4634600
I hope you do realize that FAKKU has mainly worked with Wanimagazine so far and has only relatively recently started releasing tanks from other publishers. I'm saying this because a lot of the stuff you're listing there isn't under Wani. And on the subject of "best selling", here's a list of Toranoana's best-selling H-manga for 2015 and 2016:

http://blog.livedoor.jp/geek/archives/51514540.html
http://blog.livedoor.jp/geek/archives/51539185.html

FAKKU has published 5 of the top 10 works there (7 of which are Wani), so you can't really say that FAKKU wouldn't be looking at what actually sells.

Now, for 2016 the numbers are a bit less (only two top ten Toranoana titles out of six Wani ones), but this is really about more factors being involved in the book selection process, which includes things like artist popularity in the subscription, what book owners request, how similar past books have sold, are older books a more attractive to pick up (since there's obviously tons of older good books to release in English too), etc - after all, the English market is different from the Japanese one.

Anyway, artists like Shiwasu no Okina, Mizuryu Kei, Butcha-U and Tamagoro are definitely not out of reach (Mochi is a bit of a different case since there's additional hurdles to clear when it comes to publishing full-on loli books, not to mention that his books are usually what editor nightmares are made of work-wise), but it'll take time to get into a similar position release-wise with other publishers that FAKKU has with Wani right now.

I torrented the Oda Non NON VIRGIN works just to see what the whole deal about FAKKU was all about and shit, that torrent was fucking ATROCIOUS. It's like the translators at FAKKU have no fucking idea how to put together a translation to save their fucking ass.

Why the FUCK would anyone support their trash? Thank god I lived through an era of translation that was AMAZING and LEGIBLE.

Stop supporting this trash. It's like reading something a fucking twelve year old came up with to share with his retarded friends at school, and said retarded friends think he's fucking cool.

>>4634683
What was wrong with it?

>>4631784

Just trust me, it's not worth buying a physical copy. Here, the book is full of FUFUFU's and dull, uninteresting dialogue. They half assed their way through the stories and did little to deliver on the story aspect.

>inb4 it's just porn
>inb4 porn has no story
>inb4 I'm supporting the artists hurrr durrr

>>4634712
And things like Fondle, Lift, Open, Flick and Squeeze as fucking sound effects?

KUH? And what the fuck is FUFUFU? I'm telling you, like a fucking twelve year old wrote this over the weekend. Torrent EVERYTHING you can find from FAKKU, don't support their shit.

And the font they use is SO LAZY. You have money coming in from dedicated porn fans to purchase different kinds of fonts to add a great flavor to your stories and all you give out is fucking Wild Words?

Give me a fucking break.

>>4634712
>>4634720
There's only so much story you can put into 6-10 page chapters in the first place, you know. Not everyone has the storytelling skills of Dowman Sayman. Are you saying we should go full on Nintendo Treehouse to "spice" the dialog up or what?

Also, as a general policy, FAKKU leaves various laughs like "fufufu" or "hehehe" or whatever in their original form, but the translations in general are most definitely not half-assed. I honestly don't know how you could even reach that conclusion, especially if you read any scanlations where you can really see what half-assing or just plain incompetence gets you.

Also, what kind of shitty torrent would you get where the images are resized that badly? That image you posted is way lower resolution than what's even in the FAKKU online reader.

Also there is literally nothing wrong with Wild Words. As a general policy font selection tends to mirror the original so if the original uses the one and same font for basically all dialogue, then FAKKU will stick with one dialogue font similarly as well, etc.

>>4634723
I resized the image so I could upload it you dumb fuck. I have the 3500 high res pics.

And really, you're trying to defend the fact that FAKKU has the HIGH RESOLUTION, UNCENSORED storyboards and deliver WILD WORDS bullshit on them? You're telling me they can't afford a few Comicraft fonts to spice up the lettering?

And fuck your scanlations, kid. You're making it seem like I run with the same styles as you do when it comes to reading hentai. Go back to the EROS MANGA years of translations and you've got nothing to spit back. Fuck your Dowman Sayman, translator and great Studio Proteus founder Toren Smith would have run circles around your shit.

>literally nothing wrong with Wild Words.
You must have shit tastes in both lettering and storytelling for you to try to defend this FAKKU shit.

Is it me or did this fakku faggot above just blame Oda fucking Non for their amateur ass translation? My moon is only good enough to vaguely read stuff so can anyone with better skills show it to the man himself?

>>4634730
Now THOSE were great years of translations. They handled the story well, even for a monthly adult comic book, and most creators of the original h-work GLADLY gave permission to the kind of Studio Proteus to change the story from the original japanese translation to give the Western world an original storytelling, not this FUFUFU bullshit.

>>4634730
>You're telling me they can't afford a few Comicraft fonts to spice up the lettering?

You do know Wild Words is a commercial font as well, right? FAKKU has licensed a whole bunch of fonts, but Wild Words is the primary dialogue font we use.

>>4634734
>to change the story from the original japanese translation

Well, FAKKU's policy is to remain faithful to the original text (while still reading like natural English, save for stuff like untranslated honorifics - company policy again, since that's what customers generally expect) rather than make up its own stories to go with the pictures.

>>4634723
I don't give a fuck what you say or try to dfend, FAKKU's lame ass, elementary style translations only give new readers a fucking down syndrome glimpse into what could have been a GREAT story. We're going past the translations now, the story could have been written so MUCH better, but they didn't.

>>4634731
Really shows that those cunts are not tooting their own horn for no reason. They really ARE that full of themselves.

>>4634735
While still reading like natural English? Are you retarded? You like munching on your Aspergers and fries?

I brought out Studio Proteus and your ass got quiet. I brought out Toren Smith and your ass had NOTHING to say. I brought out EROS Mangerotica and your ass back peddaled like there was no one's business.

FAKKU is nothing more that a fucking retard house full of translators who have ABSOLUTELY no BUSINESS translating a god damn thing. They took an AMAZING works in Oda Non's NON VIRGIN and COMPLETELY ruined it. It's only saving grace, is the uncensored artwork.

I'm glad I downloaded it. FAKKU isn't getting any of my money for SHIT I can barely read and enjoy.

>>4634735
What else you got, dip shit? You wanna get schooled some more? At least some people on this thread chose to buy the ORIGINAL h-mangas instead of purchasing FAKKU garbage.

Those are the REAL heroes of this thread.

>While still reading like natural English?

Yes? I mean if I go look at for example the old Eros Comix stuff you're praising so much, the most notable difference is that the pages are flipped to read left to right, there's no honorifics and stuff like yes are converted to dollars etc. Beyond that I'm not seeing this "vast difference in translation quality" that's supposedly there.

And it's definitely not that I couldn't spot a difference in text quality - honestly, I'm way more picky about it than the average reader today. Shit like CGRascal translations for example just make me skip over something because the bad translation quality just makes me completely lose interest.

Someone needs to hack into FAKKU's files and get a hold of the original storyboards.

OP, it seems you have the same taste as me of hentai, do you have a list of some sort of good vids / reads ?

quality wise, any recieves fakku boioks with minor damage on them? out of the 21 books i bought (op pic) there are a few with damages on the edges and 1 book even has an indent on the spine (fuck me). So for people that bought fakku books, do you guys have the same problem on some of your books?

Yeah their track record is pretty shit but I ain't in no rush.

bad news,i opened them up. i just had to know the condition the books were in. turns outs 3out of the 21 fakku books have defects like dents on the spine, bad creases and misprints and color smudges on the covers. HOWEVER, after contacting FAKKU they resolved most of the problems by sending me a new book and also new dust covers. incredible support. 10/10 on the support, 7.5/10 on the initial quality.

Where can I obtain these Fakku books at a good price?

>>4638967
Directly from Fakku if you also want the digital version. Rightstuf and J-List have the same prices (unless there's a sale), but that doesn't include the digital. Maybe shipping is better from them though, I dunno.

If you're in Europe: http://www.up1.co.uk/Catalogue?OpenNavigator&RestrictToCategory=Fakku
No digital again, but you're almost guaranteed to save enough on shipping to buy that separately.

My collection is currently put away: a decent collection of Ah My Goddess doujins. A few scans out there of a few books are my scans from years ago.

On the topic of physical collections: do adult shops in the US ever carry hentai of any variety? I had to take a route through some of the outskirts of my downtown area and I passed by several shops and started wondering.

>>4640371
For the most part no but if your lucky you can probably find hentai from kitty media or something. Though if there's a Japan town in your state there's a good chance that some stores will carry some.

>>4638990
rent is so absurdly high where i live that it's more worthwhile to buy a house because the monthly cost of mortgage would be less than rent

>>4638990
I counted 17 books, let's say 20 at $25 each. That's $500 + a few 100 more at most for the figurines, likely spread out over a longer period of time. It's not like he's got a small fortune sitting on his shelf.

If you buy every single book and sub to Fakku it's around $40/month, maybe +$20 if you get every single doujin that goes up. It's the equivalent of buying a monthly game, and I don't know how it is where you live, but I can't find a place where the rent is $60/month.

I can't find Higenamuchi's Misdirection book, has it been shared anywhere?

Lol, don't call project h a trash if you didn't ever see a Polish hentai releases.
In short (it applies to every manga release, not only hentai) :
-Translation is a pure trash, changed dialogues, names, no honorifics, local jokes etc
-all sounds are redrawn
-censored. Yes, hentai is consored. In Witchcraft and Tayu Tayu for example a few panels are completely removed.

>>4634735
So FAKKU releases are really faithful with honorifics and original sfxes?
Why there is no FAKKU books in bookdepository? It's the best and cheapest book shop for the Europe with free shipping.

>>4642106
>Why there is no FAKKU books in bookdepository?

Basically you need to have book distribution deals with certain big-name players, which is where bookdepository gets all their stuff from and they won't deal directly with smaller publishers. It might happen one day but unfortunately it's a bit of pain to make it so due to the aforementioned reasons.

Ps my dad and I find old adult humor and erotica with me so he pretty much cool with some hentai

Sorry for the crappy picture quality, was getting a shadow from the camera.

My current collection,also have a Kobayashi Youkoh tank on another shelf and about 40 or so doujins.

Some random questoins if anyone can help:

1) Has anyone in the USA been able to order a hentai book off Amazon Japan? I managed to preorder one while it said it was available to ship to the USA, but they put the restriction on now and I am afraid they will cancel the order.

2) the book I am looking to preorder has three bonus print images available to first day buyers, are they usually just one random one per participating shop or do you get all three?

>>4644778
Amazon Japan doesn't ship anything even remotely lewd overseas; though you can have it sent to a forwarding service in Japan. I don't know how this would apply to pre-ordered products but I can only imagine the same applies here.

It's probably just a "first edition" release that they're selling till they run out of copies, so you should get those images.

Usually a bonus for Tora, one for Melon, and one for a thirdparty (Autumn, Amazon, Surugaya, etc.).

And as >>4645062 said, first edition+limited, won't be reprints after these bonuses sell out.

>>4649690
Thanks for the info.

Just for the record, I was able to get my Hentai purchase from Amazon successfully, which arrived today. I think that since I pre-ordered before the adult classification was added tot he product page, the system processed it as normal and the Amazon drones packed and shipped normally (did not even come in a discrete wrap or anything.

Bummed I did not get any of the pre-order bonuses through Amazon, but I don't think the forward service fees + international shipping costs would be worth the extra piece of paper by getting from another store shop.

Project H does M-Land which is good enough for me.

Issues bringing manga back from Japan to the US... it's technically illegal to bring "obscene materials" through customs... being black I always get my bags searched (LAX, ORD and DFW) so I have to mail my shit before I return via JP Post EMS.

Not risking confiscation of ~$500 worth of content because of racists.

stop dressing like a stereotypical loli rapist and maybe they wont search you.

t. guy who once had a pedo stash and now no longer gets searched

I dress in business casual clothing because I fly business class...

I'm an IT consultant. So no, I don't look like a stereotypical loli rapist.

I even have Global Entry pass and still get searched.

they're obv jealous of you

They're a better contribution for hentai artists and community than a bitch like you getting upset from people enjoying themselves and keeping their community strong,

Why didn't Melty Maiden get shared yet?

where can you buy physical copies ? The only one I found are so expensive...

>>4667133
Fakku books is the only place for translated ones.
Raw ones can be bought from Melonbooks, Toranoana or Amazon Japan through a forwarding service. Another option is visiting Japan.

Thank you !
what do you think about rightstuffanime ? I know this is not for the story we buy hentai, but I really appreciate that :/

>>4667149
Looks like they are a Fakku reseller.

Okay cool ! :)
Thank you :)

Not going off topic any further, but this sums up every encounter I have with customs officers at ORD

where do you buy these? are you in japan?

>>4669159
There is this guide that explains it very well http://www.buyfags.moe/List_of_shops#H-manga

>>4669166
thanks, ive been using doujinrepublic and the odd few times ive gone to comic con but their prices are expensive

>>4669169
doujinrepub is only good for hard to find titles, or one-of purchases due to included shipping. Mandarake + proxy service like zenmarket is the best.

>t. guy who once had a pedo stash and now no longer gets searched
why would you carry that with you?

>>4667129
This. Somebody's slacking!

>>4665442
Thanks for the info, in the same shoes so no doubt they will search my bags.

>>4669412
pretty sure it means 'pedo mustache' as in 70s style.

>fakku 1501-1600 pack,
what?

My dad let me inherit my grandpa's porno stash so I think fakku books are ok

>>4634511
>$10 for ~200 pages
Sweet lord why the fuck does anyone pay for this?
That's literally 1 session of fapping for $10.
Your money would be better spent on an onahole and some lube.

Patrician taste
I myself have all his(her?) books

>>4651725
You can enable loli stuff to be visible in fakku account settings. It's disabled by default

>>4673036
I hope you realize that the people who commission books to be translated pay ~$350-400+ per book. $1.50-$2.00 per page.

Anyone got any experience with customs in the US?

I'm thinking about importing some doujinshi but terrified that they'll get confiscated or worse during inspections.
