thanks everyone for loving my characters as always <3

Just wanted to show off some photos of the finished collector’s set items!
It took me so damn long to have everything made and make sure it was the best quality possible (im just so appalled by the lack of quality control some merchandising companies have lol) but im so thrilled with the outcome.

The full story was posted in a recent kickstarter update. 

As things had to be ordered in bulk numbers - it turns out I actually have a few extras of these, (of course kickstarter backers get theirs first obvs) but if anyone would like one of the extras, please shoot me an email! If you already have the book, you can upgrade for the price difference as well.

Hey guys!!

Sorry for the SUPER friggin long radio silence. I’ve spent the last 2 months buried DEEP in working on 1989nk chapter one, and its FINALLY FINISHED! I’ve just sent the books off for printing today, and the digital version was just released to everyone who backed or preordered for one.

The digital version is OUT TODAY!! So, if you were a kickstarter backer PLEASE take a look in your emails for it! I’d also love to know what you think, so if you really enjoyed it and want to let me know why in more detail than social media replies will allow - send me an email!! kalematsuba@outlook.com

if you don’t have the digital version yet at all and want to read it, its here!

and also don’t forget that if you want the physical book or any merchandise, you can preorder it here!

those wondering if it’s ever going to be released to read for free: yes, eventually it will! I’m not sure when just yet. So, if you REALLY don’t mind potentially waiting a while, it will be available for free. But if you are able to buy this digital version and read it now (I WORKED SUPER HARD ON IT qq) it would obviously help me out immensely, as always.

I already want to get started working on chapter 2. lol. I’ve already got all of it written and some of it roughed out. I’m not sure if I’ll do another kickstarter for it, (if people want a physical version of it, then I’ll have to, naturally) but we’ll see! (if you would like to see another kickstarter campaign for chapter 2 once chapter 1 is completely shipped and fulfilled, let me know in your email. lol)

Anyway enough of this wall of text. I look forward to hearing from you all. Now I have to begin planning for the shipping process, so I’m afraid I won’t be around much still. 

Thank you all and I REALLY HOPE YOU ENJOY CHAPTER ONE!!

from the kickstarter page!

to be honest though, the book will very likely be more than this - chapter 1 is going to be packed full of content introducing all the characters and their relationships! So far I estimate nearly 60 pages of comic plus a whole section of all the concept art and illustrations for the series so far! I’m guessing the book will be in the range of 80-100 pages.

Yes! The shirt will remain in my shop on backerkit for anyone to purchase anytime.

Thank you so much!

oh!! Sorry, I have to set a base shipping price for the preorder store, and I totally didn’t realize that it would apply to the digital download too!;;;

Thanks for pointing this out!! I’ll try and figure out a way to sell the digital version without the shipping attached. I really appreciate the feedback, no worries!!
