I’ve honestly given up on the possibility of EVER getting my books.

Same. Was surprised I was even able to get the sketch that I paid additional shipping for. Honestly figured they were going under and taking the books with them.

Hate to get my hopes up, but they might be fulfilled after all. I just can't understand why they had such a hard time communicating with backers. I think most people would be reasonable about delays or other hardships, as long as they're not just being ignored for months on end.

I only pledged one book back when this first went up. I'm glad we're getting anything at all, but I really hope there's a way for me to finish collecting the series.

If they actually do print them and you don't bear a grudge against DMP in general, extras are usually put up for sale on their website (emanga). They have physical books from the Under the Air campaign available there right now, and that was the last Kickstarter campaign they fulfilled. There's no telling how many they'll have, though.

I am definitely excited for anyone who took part in that campaign to get their stuff. Those supporters have dealt with the longest radio silence of all the other KS endeavors DMP has started in recent years and they deserve some real answers. Fingers crossed that it actually happens. -Because then it means I can have hope for my Wonder 3 campaign books again.

The Kodomo no Jikan Kickstarter was funded less than two months after KOR and has had far less updates, some with larger gaps between and had several tiers that were supposed to be delivered earlier than KOR to boot. But, no one seems to like talking about that project.


In any event backers are going to have to be ridiculously patient and keep pressuring DMI if the past record is any indication. Shipping on Under the Air, which had fewer backers, took 9 months with forgotten packages or books sent to the wrong address because the delay and communication was so bad. Sending shipping surveys in batches for KOR will hopefully help avoid those problems. But, over half the time I've recieved rewards from DMI it's been messed up in some way. Still happened with Under the Air too as many people didn't even get the correct books or were missing items too.

DMP is a disaster of a company, and all I can do is hope they get everyone their goods from their Kickstarters before they completely fold.

I've actually been checking emanga periodically to see about getting some of the extras volume leftovers, but the site keeps saying they don't have the physical copies available yet. I really do hope they have some remaining after everyone else gets their copies.
