Funding
We accept monthly donations from Patreon and Ko-fi and one-time donations from Paypal. Any monthly donations offsets the monthly costs. The owner funds the rest, through stock dividends, savings account interest, and salary from day job.
Note: Donations received from these sources are only used to cover the costs seen on this page. It’s not used for extra services like forums, WordPress, and chat server, which uses a small amount of the capacity of the owner’s personal server, which does not need to be covered.
You can help offset the costs by donating by using the following. Note, this is voluntary, but it’s appreciated to offset the burden as I’m hosting Sakurajima as a utility for the Japanese media fandom and the Anime/Japanese media Blogosphere/creative space. We will never require users to pay to use our services and you will never see any ads of any sort.
Additionally, you can use our affiliate links if you decide to buy stuff from CDJapan. See below if you want to support us through this method.
If you buy Manga or Light Novels from Bookwalker, you can use these affiliate links as well.
