Demystifying the rewards & overseas shipping
Hello backers and potential backers! I've had a lot of requests to clarify how the rewards system works. I hope this table will help set things straight. It is the final word on what rewards are included in what pledge levels, and on how much shipping to add for each. If anyone you know needs help figuring out which rewards go with which levels, send them here!

Thanks for your support and patience, and thanks to everyone who came to see us at Anime Expo! We'll have more updates soon!

Jennifer, it has been confirmed that Power of Love backers get all extras announced so far.
Creator Jennifer Torkkola on July 11, 2012
OK, maybe a dumb question, but I bought the Power of Love pack...it says that one of the rewards is "copies of any other books licensed through this Kickstarter campaign", so...does that mean I'll get all of the books, but just the Unico extras?
Creator Alex Burkhart on July 5, 2012
Great idea for putting this chart on here it really gives better understanding of the rewards.
Creator lys on July 5, 2012
Awesome :D That $82 "Just the books" reward was just what I was hoping for!
Creator digitalmanga on July 5, 2012
Forgerelli: Ask and you shall receive.
Kathryn + Tazmin: All that will be handled in a survey after the Kickstarter ends.
Creator Kathryn Montgomery on July 5, 2012
Thank you, Michael! This is my first Kickstarter, so I'm still learning about how this whole thing works. :D
Creator Tazmin on July 5, 2012
Oh I see from above comment, there will be a survey. Thanks
Creator Tazmin on July 5, 2012
I'm at the $75 pledge level the Unico + 5 so I can get a second copy of Unico, I'm not interested in the five other digital manga books. Where do I get to select I want the second copy as part of that pledge?
Creator Suzi Hough on July 5, 2012
I'd like to second Forgerelli's request for a tier that just has the four books!
Creator Michael Whipp on July 5, 2012
Kathryn, you'll get to chose which you want in the survey that will come out sometime after the Kickstarter ends. :)
Creator Forgerelli on July 5, 2012
I pledged $47 to get the Unico and Atomcat. Then you said any pledge of $100+ will also get Triton 1 & 2. But now there's a new reward at $35 for the Trition 1 & 2 books. $47 + $35 = $82.
Can you please just make a reward that just has the 4 books at $82.
Creator Kathryn Montgomery on July 5, 2012
Hi, guys! I'm really excited to be a part of this Kickstarter. I really love Tezuka and being able to be a part of bringing more than one of his works at the same time to the English speaking world is great. I do have one question, however:
I am currently on the $107 level. Where do I choose whether I want the Unico+T-shirt reward or the Unico+5?
Thank you very much, and I really hope we can make this final goal!
Creator Zachary Rosenberg on July 5, 2012
Awesome news! If you guys fail but only have a few thousand left, would you try a Triton Kickstarter itself? Also, any plans to update the DMP website itself to get a lot of people here?
Just less than 16,000 left...
Creator Brian Huisman on July 5, 2012
Woo hoo! Excellent! Perfect! Let's make it to $47,000! :)
Creator digitalmanga on July 5, 2012
Holly: You are correct. You get Triton 1 without adding any money.
Creator digitalmanga on July 5, 2012
lys: I have added a $35 reward that only includes Triton and the eManga.com bonus. I hope that fills the gap.
Creator Holly Piontek on July 5, 2012
If I pledged for the Unico + Tshirt reward, am I also getting Triton vol. 1 without adding any additional money to the pledge? The chart seems to be saying this, unless I'm reading it all wrong.
Creator digitalmanga on July 5, 2012
You assume correctly, Brian. :)
Creator Brian Huisman on July 5, 2012
This is great! Very informative. Now please, please, please edit the front page: de-emphasize the ATOMCAT stuff, and post the new stretch goal amount for Triton. Hopefully you are doing it now, after making this post.
Creator lys on July 5, 2012
Thanks for clarifying things. I know this way probably makes it easier for you than having to refund a bunch of people for separate Triton rewards if the $47k goal isn't met, but it doesn't really provide a good option for those of us who want the books but have no interest in tshirts, etc, or even people who weren't interested in Unico/Atomcat, but would like to pledge toward Triton. I don't mean to complain, if this is the way that works best for you, but I do think that it might have made more sense to create a separate Kickstarter for getting Triton published.
