MiKandi Japan has partnered up with PUSH! Publication on an Indiegogo campaign to fund the production of a new and original hentai doujin work by the well known Japanese artist LINDA. The campaign was originally launched on Kickstarter but on May 15th, 2019, the Kickstarter was suspended with no real reasoning as to why. The Kickstarter was able to raise a total of $24,622 out of a $40,000 shortly after launching the campaign only to be closed for inappropriate content.
As of press time, the Indiegogo campaign has a total of 29 days left and has raised $7,517 USD from 49 backers. The funding goal of $40,000 USD will cover the following:
• An original doujin work created by LINDA exclusively for the campaign.
• Official English translation and reproduction of five original made LINDA doujin works.
• 260+ pages of erotic content combined.
• Both physical and digital formats of the manga.
• Exclusive ero merchandise includes high-quality dakimakura, tapestries, and more.
• Everything uncensored!
Here are some examples of the physical goods backers can select from:
LINDA is a professional manga artist for over twenty years, LINDA was first published by Shobunkan in 1998. His development as an artist began taking shape in middle school with heavy influences from the fantasy illustrations of Nobuteru Yuki (Record of Lodoss War), Yoshikazu Yasuhiko (Gundam), and also from Dungeons and Dragons, and the novel Shadowlance. LINDA’s works generally focus on beautiful, voluptuous, married women exploring adultery and the excesses of nightlife.
“I try to make an atmosphere that captures the girl, my own hidden sexual desires and fears. I like to express the complex ‘internal implications’ of characters when I draw them,” said LINDA when elaborating about his art style and creative motivations.
Highlights from LINDA’s publishing career include appearances in Weekly Manga Goraku, Gorakuten, Penguin Club, Pizazz DX, and Young Animal Arashi. His works include “Fushitara”, “Neorarezuma”, and “Sekirara Kanojo”. His most recent tankobon “Fushitara~ The reason my wife was unfaithful~4th volume” is planned to release during May 2019.
