Hi everyone!
Thanks for having supported us in March 2021 and even staying with us in April too!
Let us start the first Weekly Headline with this issue as this is the biggest concern that new Patrons who have joined in April worry about.
We don't know why but achieving Patreon goal always happened the later half (more obviously say the end) of the month. So we offered past Goal Reward Photosets in the month we achieved the goal and the next month to maximize the opportunity to engage with new Patrons with Goal Reward Photoset. We reached reactivated 125 goal on March 24 and 150 goal on March 31. So we can leverage the past practices for our latest two goals too!
Please don't worry! We offer 125 Patrons Goal Reward Photoset and 150 Patrons Goal Reward Photoset to Patrons who joined/join in April too!
However, please note the delivery of the Goal Reward Photoset is one or two days before the end of the month, and you will not receive our Goal Reward Photoset if you leave our Patreon before delivery. This is the principle of our Goal Reward Photoset and the biggest difference from other regular photosets. Please find the details of this difference from an independent article here.
We caused a huge delay for reward delivery last month and it's the biggest regret among everything we did/achieved in March. So we changed our regular delivery style this month to deliver the photosets without keeping our Patrons waiting as much as possible.
Reward Delivery for April will start in the morning of April 11th (US Pacific Time). All April regular photosets that become available before the 10th will be delivered at this timing. Rest regular photosets for April will be delivered once each photoset becomes available and additional Mizuryukei Land pics will be managed after we finish all tasks for April regular photosets.
Two Goal Reward Photosets will be delivered one or two days before April 2021 ends.
As you might know already, we've been suffered from a schedule behind that even didn't allow us to announce the photoset for next month with our own work ever since the year 2021 started. It came from the longest new-year holiday that Kuma needed to care for her family but the biggest impact was the state of emergency for COVID that forced us to postpone several scheduled shoots.
We had a series of intense shooting marathons at the end of the month to recover all the dealy. But we can't fully get back to our regular timeframe yet so please allow us to deliver the photosets separately in April according to when they are ready.
We will announce which photosets we can deliver on April 11th at our next weekly headline. And will of course announce the schedule for the rest photosets soon after we get the concrete estimation for delivery.
We will share the progress of 150 Goal Reward Photoset through BTS and WIP section, but let us quickly announce here that We took Honoka instead of Tsukushi for 150 Patrons Goal Photoset!
Tsukushi took the massive lead at the earliest stage when we set the poll (almost 80% of the earliest voters chose Tsukushi!). Kuma convinced she was right. But Honoka recovered her vote and the result became too close to forcing Itchika to give up her favorite character.

You'll see Honoka in Arthemis as 150 Patrons Goal Reward Set. It may not be the first time for you to see Honoka in Arthemis, but the jewelkini that Kuma makes is so special! It will be the first experience to see jiggling, shaking, and even jumping wtih Arthemis that has THE SNUGGEST fit like a regular swimwear.
