So now you've put down the image and you're using an example from the Alex Peña/Manga chasers Sen & Kai manga?

Aw man guys. I really didn't want to do this today. I just wanted to enjoy lunch. I wanted to believe. But that's not possible.

I had received a message earlier today from the artist for this particular Kickstarter that her works were stolen. They can be seen on the project page:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1128543978/remote-angel-volume-1-manga-print-relaunched
The large image of "sample pages" and the admission of the comic being too expensive are taken from this page.

Afterwards, I was going to decide to give you guys time to sort things out, but that's not possible anymore. It turns out that from the previous time you resubmitted the comic (the 3rd time), and with this one, you've used an image from Nousatsu Rock Shonen by Kamaro Kikuch for your video:

Using someone else's work front and center is a big no-no.

You guys got two options right now: Either Admit you did something wrong, apologize to the people you're misleading and fix (or end) this page, or never get the ability to be crowdfunded again, because once something like this happens, if you keep going full force pretending everything is okay, it's all downhill from here. The project page will still be up for everyone to see. The comments page with all the infromation will still be up for everyone to see and you can't delete comments, and every other time you try to start a project from here, it's just not going to work out.

I'm looking forward to this series, and wanted to back it when I started my kickstarter, but couldn't at the time... but I have a concern.
On the project page it says you're doing a sweepstakes, but those are prohibited by Kickstarter, if you just scroll down and see the rules page. As much as I would love to win a Beats Pill or iPhone 6, I don't want your project to be flagged or taken down after being funded pretty well, either, so I'm just giving a heads up. You could include it with the copies of your book though, and that might sell a lot of copies to start off with.

Also I think you should include some of the project information you got on story.us update into the kickstarter video. Adobe Premier is free for a month, so you should try it out and edit your video. You might want to change it up a bit! That's what I did.

There's 23 days to go, so don't give up! Update regularly and they will come! I'll also mention it helps to have a few pages of your comic or storyboard up with the story in it, and to have a few mini comics/short stories under your belt to show people you can tell a story.
