Pixiv Opens FANBOX Print Fanworks Program For Zundamon And Tohoku Zunko
FANBOX Print has until now handled original works only, so a rights-holder sanctioned path for derivative Zunzun PJ print sales at convenience stores is the part worth watching.
Reporting from 1 source: Denfaminicogamer.
Pixiv launched FANBOX Print official fanworks "Zunzun PJ" on October 9, letting creators register and sell fan illustrations and manga of Tohoku Zunko, Tohoku Itako, Tohoku Kiritan and Zundamon as printed products at convenience stores in Japan and Taiwan. Registration is open now, and printed sales begin October 23, with an illustration event running to November 16.
Zunzun PJ is the project joining the program, with more than 60,000 related works posted on pixiv to date. Eligible characters are the three Tohoku sisters (Tohoku Zunko, Tohoku Itako, Tohoku Kiritan) and the zunda mochi fairy Zundamon, among others.
Two related promotions run alongside the launch. An illustration submission event, "Zunzun PJ 15th Anniversary," accepts entries until November 16 on the themes of the project's 15th anniversary and Tohoku Zunko's birthday, with newly recorded voice clips of Tohoku Zunko and Zundamon for all participants plus special and lucky prizes. A pixiv Premium campaign runs October 27 to November 10, giving applicants a wallpaper made from new key art and limited voice data; ten applicants drawn by lottery win Zunda Horizon BB material data.
