T*RAPS Officially on HIATUS until further notice.

Hello everyone! Pink here once again with our last update for a while.

With a heavy heart, we regret to officially announce that the group will be on hiatus until further notice. I am sure everyone has noticed the drop in efficiency and productivity of the group. Unfortunately, we are unable to improve this at this time and are unsure about when we will be back to us from the good ol’ days. 

We started this journey with a very energetic group of four people but over the years we have lost our energy to continue due to life commitments, and lost of interest in similar things. The topic has been on our minds for the past year or so, and the hiatus has been discussed and agreed on by all members. For those of you who are concerned about our friendship, there is no need to worry. We are all really close friends <3

I started T*RAPS in order for my friends to collaborate and have fun together, supporting each other in whatever we created. Now more than ever, it has become apparent that no one in this group is really enjoying this anymore, thus making this group without purpose. We will be closing our Patreon and Storenvy but our Gumroad will remain open for those of you who want to continue supporting Akira’s amazing past work with us. You can also continue to support Akira via Pixiv.

Thank you to all our supporters over the past few years. It has been a truly humbling experience.

If you have any questions or comments, you can email me at [email protected]

Hello! I was just wondering if there will still be any Jojo acrylic stands available to order for people who didn't pre-order even after the incident with the bad printing

Hi there! The acrylic stands and a few other items will now be available through my fb here, https://www.facebook.com/braincurry666please feel free to pm me there for any orders or questions^^-akira

[t-raps]

are the acrylic stands ready for shipment yet? it's been some time now and i'm worried i won't get it at all

Hello anon, sorry about the delayed reply. We hope you saw our update post but in case you missed it, here it is again.

Hello everyone, Pink here!!

The acrylics finally arrived but we have some bad news. Some of you may know that we had to switch printers due to the raise in production cost. The new printer tried to match the quality but didn’t do such a good job. Here are a few flaws that we want to point out...

The print quality isn’t as sharp, details are slightly blurred.

Rohan is flipped for some reason... 

The acrylics only have protective covers on one side and bases are chipped

The scale don’t match our previous set!! TT___TT

It really goes against our quality standard to ship out these as they are. We would like to go back to the original printers and pay the extra costs to get these made better but that will require a bit more patience from you, our amazing supporters.

If you’d like us to send what we have (lesser quality) and skip the extra wait time, please feel free to email us with your Order Number # and we will get to it right away.

We will keep you updated as things happen. Again, we are so sorry about the delays lately!

Hello!!! I missed the pre-order window for your part 4 main boys acrylic charms due to illness and school keeping me busy. but was wondering if they will be available for regular order sometime in the future? I would really love to buy them!!!

Hi there, there will be other opportunities to order them in future. Probably sometime near the end of June, we plan on getting some extra copies made for regular sale through our Storenvy.

We will make a post when they come back in stock :)

will the acrylic stands be shipped soon? I haven't received mine yet :,(

Hi there! Sorry not yet. We've had to change the printer last minute but the item order is being printed as we speak, and will be posted out in the following weeks. You will be notified once your order has been posted!Thank you so much for your patience.

hi! just wondering about something. i just re-watched man from U.N.C.L.E and thought if you'd ever liked the movie? cause i would've thought that ilya and solo would make a brawl of a pair. it's kinda like mixing deadpoolxspidey's raunchy action with some high class mix from the kingsman doujins. *hope i'm making any sense* :p

Hi! Sorry for the late reply! I actually watched U.N.C.L.E and Kingsman on the same night, but I just got into Kingsman more, whether it's cos i like more of an age gap or for whatever reason. And honestly I'm too afraid to draw Henry Cavil's flawless godlike-sculpted face>///<;;-akira.

[t-raps]

lol!! i didnt think i can be more wrong!! there's spideyxdeadpool dj in "lets eat" anthology!! once again, sorry for my lack of knowledge, but i luuurrrvvee itt!!! totally worth every penny spent!! i love night and day, it's so sweet. i wanna have a guy like jin to be my lil bro, and orsel as my boyfriend! hahahaha..

Aaaahh thank you so much again!! m(>////<)m Night & Day is my first bl comic (crappy art asideXD) I'm really happy to hear you like the characters! and i agree i think Orsel is probably the ideal (most gentlemanly) pick out of all of them loll

Much loves♥♥♥-akira.

hi! i bought the deadpool and kingsman doujins in comifuro event and i was super awed by the quality of works you've done! though i'm not so sure if the deadpool one is originally in spanish language? (there are a few bubble speech in spanish language) and just saw your shop that you also sell jojo's doujin! just wondering though, are all your doujins available in pdf format? i'm just so extatic to see more of the doujins! XD

Hi there! They are originally in English, but just so happen in that comic Deadpool speaks in Italian when he's 'excited'^///^b And yes, all of the doujins are available as pdf here: https://gumroad.com/trapsgroupThank you so much for your support!♡♡♡-akira.

[t-raps]

Hello, have you ever sold your kingsman doujinshi in comifuro event in Indonesia this year? Thank you^^

Hi there! Thanks for your question!

We know there’s been some confusion regarding doujinshi sales and we’d like to reassure you that those books are sold with permission from Akira. They are reprinted and made at lower quality for lower cost, made to sell in that area.

Both versions are legitimate :)You’re welcome to purchase from either sources <3 Though purchasing through us will directly help the group with future projects, not sure about the Indonesian source (not sure about the agreement between them and Akira).

We’re so happy that you contacted us about it <3 Thank you so much for supporting our group!!!

[t-raps]

Hi, did you still sell the PDF version of kingsman cream pie?

Hi anon! Yes we do! All our pdf books are available from our gumroad store. You can find the link to our shop on our front page navigation for future reference :)https://gumroad.com/trapsgroup

[t-raps]

We've moved back to Storenvy! We've got extra copies of Kingsman up for sale, as well as a few new things :)

Sorry about the delay everyone! We finally got life back on track and the shop is now reopen! We’ve moved away from Tictail, as we have talked about before over many posts.

Thanks for everyone’s patience! We really don’t know where we’d be without you guys!! You’re the best <3

OH NO T^T

Hello – it’s me again! I did not realize that the comic purchased was not an official edition – I feel terrible now :( I hope you will be reopening sales soon, so I can buy one directly from you. Thanks very much and really sorry about this!

[t-raps]

Ah no, no! Thank you so much for being concerned for our projects! That’s super kind of you, and we really appreciate it! Our shop will be reopened very soon so please keep a look out on this blog for more updates.

Thanks again for your kind support!!
