About

The mod team was announced March 19, 2021. Contributor invites were sent out April 10, 2021. The contributor list was announced August 19, 2021.

Preorders opened March 4, 2022 with a planned end date of April 4, 2022, which was later extended to May 4, 2022. The following pricing tiers were offered:

• Dust ($15 USD): PDF
• Ash ($25 USD): Physical Zine
• Ascension ($35 USD): 2 Stickers + Print + Acrylic Charm
• Throne ($45 USD): Physical Zine + PDF + 2 Stickers + Print + Acrylic Charm

A PDF add-on was available for the Ash tier for $10 USD. PDFs remained on sale after the preorder period closed.

Three stretch goals were included in the project: a glow in the dark sticker at 50 orders, a polaroid at 100 orders, and an acrylic standee at 150 orders. The Ascension and Throne tiers were eligible for these stretch goals. The zine achieved 100 orders, so the first two stretch goals were unlocked.

The zine Twitter account also teamed up with the shigarakiweek Twitter account to host a Shigaraki Week 2021 event from April 4-9, 2021.

Orders were shipped out by September 10, 2022. There was not enough stock left afterwards for any leftover sales.
