SEATTLE — MiKandi Japan has partnered with PUSH! Publication on a Kickstarter to fund the production of a new and original hentai doujin work from well known Japanese artist LINDA. In addition, five of LINDA's previously released original doujin will receive an official English reproduction and release.
The campaign will launch May 10 and run through June 10. A minimum funding goal is set at $40,000, with many reward tiers, stretch goals and exclusive items.
“We’ve been a fan of LINDA’s works for a long time,” said Toffee San, PUSH! Publication’s chief financial officer. “Since PUSH! is a company that specializes in erotic stories involving darker themes, like corruption and adultery, LINDA was the perfect match for us. Seeing the potential — and the fact that we love his doujin works and unique art style so much — we decided to work with LINDA to unleash his lewd imagination into the West.”
“This is our biggest Kickstarter yet,” Toffee San added. “We’re pumped and LINDA is, too. Hentai lovers really need to check out the campaign once it launches.”
PUSH! Publication will handle the translation, production and publishing of LINDA’s works, while MiKandi Japan will be promoting the campaign to consultants and promotional partners. The estimated release date is late July 2019.
The LINDA campaign features six manga plus an original doujin work created by LINDA exclusively for the campaign along with more than 260 pages of erotic content in both physical and digital formats. Exclusive merchandise includes high-quality dakimakura, tapestries and more, with all materials being uncensored.
“I try to make an atmosphere that captures the girl, my own hidden sexual desires and fears,” LINDA said. “I like to express the complex ‘internal implications’ of characters when I draw them.”
