Big Changes to Pricing, and taking a Break in MARCH (Pixiv Fanbox)

Hello everyone,

When I started this fanbox back in 2020, the world was shit due to COVID, but now, somehow, it got worse. Cost of living went up, inflation happened, real estate/rent prices hiked, trade wars and actual wars going on, etc and the japanese yen crashed a few years back (it is going a little upwards these days). I have been thinking whether I should increase the price of my fanbox plans for a while now, and I think it is finally time.

Of course this price increase won't make any of you happy, but sadly the income from pixiv fanbox has become just too low for me. For those who will stop supporting me because the cost is too much, it's fine, it's cool. And truly, I am just grateful to you for the awesome support till now. It was much appreciated. I hope you all become wealthy and come back!

For those who are staying, thank you as well. You guys rock! I will strive to produce better art, more comics and more guro!

To aid in the transition, I will take a break in March, you do not need to subscribe during this period, as I will not be posting anything in March.

I will create 3 new plans and delete the 3 original plans in March as well (fanbox does not allow me to update the price of a plan).

The new plans will be:

Silver at 455 yen

Gold at 705 yen

Platinum at 1805 yen

As for any questions regarding deletion of plans, here is what fanbox has to say about it:

"If a plan is deleted or changed in the same month:

You can change to a plan at the same price or lower-priced, and there will be no additional charges.

You can change to a more expensive plan, but you will need to pay the difference in price between the plans.

*If you are paying the difference in amounts at the convenience store, regardless of the difference you will be charged 120 JPY per creator as a handling fee.

Furthermore, you can view Supporters only posts that were available until the end of the month the plan is deleted.

Please understand that you won't be able to view them as of the following month.

If you have already paid for future months through convenience store payment, we will refund the following months' amount, regardless of the amount.

The refunded amount will be transferred to the indicated bank account after the following month.We will contact you on how to transfer your refund."

Thank you for your support till now,

Tsurugi
