Why it matters
Fancii already hosts the WIP posts and finished illustrations that precede a doujinshi, so the Book function lets the platform carry a creator's work from rough sketch to paid release without leaving the site.
Key Facts
- Nupqua Inc. released the Book function on its Fancii platform for publishing and selling doujinshi and ZINEs as e-books.
- Books are distributed as PDFs built from image uploads, with a maximum of 200 pages and 30MB per image.
- Prices range from free to 50,000 yen in 100-yen increments, with a uniform 70% revenue share to creators.
- Each book can carry up to 10 sample images, and buyers can view purchases by download or in a browser PDF reader.

Books are built by uploading images, capped at 200 pages and 30MB per image, with prices from free to 50,000 yen in 100-yen steps and a 70% revenue share to creators. Up to 10 sample images can be set per book.
Books can also be assembled from material already posted on Fancii, so a collection of past manga or illustrations becomes a sellable PDF without new drawing. Each book takes a front cover and a spine, and the spine appears in the thumbnail, which is the detail that makes a listing read as a book rather than a file. Right-to-left and left-to-right opening settings are supported, and the thumbnail changes with the direction. A bookshelf interface built around the spine is in development for a future update.
Buyers can pay above the listed price, with the extra going to the creator. Purchases download as PDF or open in a browser PDF reader.
