This week we're purchasing the final copies of our zine! As well as our remaining prints/stickers. We appreciate your patience during the delays, and we'll be able to pack the bundles in mid/late January, so look forward to your shipments soon after! 💚
The good news is the zine is just about ready for test printing, and we'll have received all our remaining merch by the time we have the zines printed, so we think late fall or early winter is a reliable ETA for when shipping will begin. We hope you look forward to it!! (3/3)
Switching to an international printing service will add a bit more to shipping time, but the switch still keeps us in a similar cost range to Mixam and the mods ultimately decided it's worth it to help ensure we don't run into any unpredictable or expensive issues! (2/3)
Another ETA update!
We've made the last minute (but long-thought-out) decision to switch our printing service from Mixam to QinPrinting (an international service) due to concerns brought up about Mixam and the consistency of its quality for zine orders. (1/3)
💚
We want to emphasize that we plan to make more frequent updates no matter what from here on! Our desire to try and have more details ready first has led to time slipping away. We appreciate everyone's patience and support as always! 💖💚🖤🤍
🍉 Shipping Update
We sincerely apologize for the delays and lack of updates. Most of it is from extenuating personal circumstances on the mod team and holdups regarding manus.
Most of our merch has been ordered! We're still working out the rest and we hope to update again soon.
Hi! We're terribly sorry for the lack of updates here, most of our merch has been ordered but we've had a few hang-ups over the summer regarding some manus and other irl issues. We're planning on reconciling with a formal update very very soon, thank you for reaching out! 💚

"Meet the Contributors" spotlight image for merch artist Cat (they/them, nya/nyas). The preview on the right has art they drew of Okuu firing her laser cannon. Twitter: @junepeiyuri About Me: hi!! i've been a huge touhou fan since i was like 10 and i stumbled across it while listening to vocaloid! i'm very excited to be able to contribute to a project like this, its also my first time joining a zine so thats exciting!! okina, koishi, seija, and kanako are some of my favorite characters (if i kept going we'd be here all day... i love them all!!) but my favorite game is probably either subterranean animism or wily beast and weakest creature! other than touhou, i also quite like mystery vns and pokemon
Sorry for a bit of silence, but the mods have been getting things together and ordering our supplies!
In the meantime, here's a spotlight for one of our merch artists: Cat (@junepeiyuri on Twitter)! They made some of our stickers, and we're honored to be the first zine they've worked on 💚
Payment issues have been resolved! Digital sales are up again and will stay that way 💚
🍉 Two small updates:
- We will be doing leftover sales! It'll be sometime after shipments are finished, so expect it late Summer or later.
- Our shop is currently undergoing maintenance to sort out some payment details on our end, but digital sales should be back up soon!
Thank you again @pinkcultgirl.bsky.social for the grateful Hina!
Regarding stretch goals: While we didn't quite get to 100 physical orders, we sold a whopping 30 full bundles accounting for the vast majority of our earnings!!
We really want to repay this generosity with something nice if we can, so stay tuned while we work out what we can do!

Digital orders will remain available until after shipping!
Our pre-orders finally end tonight, but tonight Muslims around the world also celebrate Eid, marking the end of Ramadan! If you have more to give, we recommend supporting Palestinians directly today so they can celebrate Eid properly.

And Eid Mubarak to those celebrating!

just preordered some stuff from this! I know specifically for my uk mutuals we all get paid today, so if you have anything to spare, might be worth having a browse and see if there's anything that takes your fancy.

Upon reevaluation, we need to make sure anyone who wants to buy the new Suika stretch goal charm a la carte has enough time to. Let's celebrate the occasion with another 3 days of pre-orders! 🍉💚
And if we keep this train going who knows what else may be possible! 👀
