One day I made a post saying most MiSide fans don’t know the manga exists. Now I’m shipping copies to fans around the world.

I bought 2 official MiSide manga copies.

One is mine.

The second one stays sealed because I’m giving it away to the FIRST MiSide fan who messages me about wanting one.

A while ago, I made a post about how many overseas fans still don’t even know MiSide has an official manga.

That post exploded harder than I expected (86K+ views), and seeing so many people genuinely interested honestly made me really happy.

So I decided:

why not actually help fans get one?

The manga is officially printed in Russian and is basically unknown outside Russian-speaking communities. It is not officially sold overseas.

So this is probably the start of my:

“sending official MiSide manga to fans worldwide” arc.

A few important things:

• It exists only in Russian and shipping costs 3 times more than the manga itself. According to preliminary estimates, for example, to Canada, it should cost at least 30 euros together with delivery. And I think that's the bare minimum. But everything is individual and I will be able to announce the exact cost only knowing the delivery point.

• After that, I’ll make a small queue for people still interested later.

• I can only ship 1–2 copies at a time, so please be patient.

• Shipping depends on your country.

Right now I decided to take only around 3 people total for the beginning, so don’t be shy about messaging me.

Honestly, I just want more MiSide fans around the world to own something official physically.

MiSide deserves that kind of global fan culture.

MiSide looks weirdly believable as a 2009 pirated DVD release

Saw this on social media and honestly… this looks exactly like something I would’ve bought from a random mall kiosk in 2009

*Comes with free malware and a broken crack
*Don't forget to pay attention to the fact that this is a meme, and there is no official disc version of the game

Wait… Most Fans Still Don’t Know MiSide Has an Official Manga?

Buyer's photo before reading. Manga in standard and paperback.

What’s funny is that a huge part of the community still thinks MiSide only has the game itself.

Meanwhile there’s already:

  • official manga
  • official merch
  • plushies
  • accessories
  • Kickstarter campaigns

The franchise got way bigger than most people realize.

Judging by this video interview, we're in for a whole universe of video games. How many more will there be? I'm very excited:

This somehow went unnoticed by most of the community - a full on-camera MiSide developer interview that hit Top 10 on Bilibili when it released. I translated the whole thing into English so you can finally see what was said - including dev insights, decisions, story thoughts, and hints about future projects. And how do you like the peaceful mode cadres? Have you seen them before?

If you understand Russian, you can watch it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-qfhJLe_Mk&t=103s

I also have a translation of an exciting text interview from the developers for you: https://www.reddit.com/r/MiSideReddit/comments/1rz7f8a/we_were_about_to_quit_game_dev_then_miside_blew/

At some point, people asked:
“Will this merch always be available?”

Back then, I honestly didn’t know.

Now we have the answer.

This isn’t a permanent store.
A lot of these items were preorder-based only.

And now we’re starting to see what that actually means:

  • The Solarain plush Mita is already gone (1st image)
  • The accessories set disappeared right after (2nd image)
  • What’s left now is shown in the last screenshot

At this point, it’s not a question of if items will sell out -
it’s which one goes next.

From what I’ve seen (and confirmed), production was based strictly on preorder numbers.
No extra stock. No overproduction.

So when something sells out - that’s it. It’s gone.

That's the way things are on the official Russian merch sales website. What’s interesting is that the international store still seems to have most items available (for now).

So if you were even thinking about getting something… this might be the last window.

Here are the main links:

Some useful things to know:

  • Kickstarter bundles give ~8% off, or up to 20% if you go all-in
  • Backers also get ~30% off Chibi Mitas on the store nookto.com
  • Discount code for Chibi Mitas on the store: P4U Mita 30
  • There’s also an unannounced bonus for backers

It seems to be the most profitable way to buy and I haven't forgotten anything. If you have any more promo codes or ways to buy more profitably, please share in the comments!

And yeah - this campaign is doing really well.

We’re talking $800k+, which realistically puts it in the top ~5% of similar Kickstarter campaigns, especially for indie game merch.

At this point, it doesn’t feel like a normal merch drop anymore.
It feels more like a limited run that’s quietly disappearing piece by piece.

And one last thing - I kind of want to start a small wave here.

What kind of MiSide merch would you actually want to see next?

  • More figures?
  • Body pillow covers?
  • Something completely different or unique?

Drop your ideas - even weird or niche ones.

If this gets enough traction, I’ll try to compile the best (and most upvoted) suggestions and pass them along to the devs / merch team / publisher.
(I do have a way to reach them - I’ll try)
