Another April Release!

April 26th, 2013

Hi and welcome to another Friday release!

Since we missed March, I decided to give you a second release for April! I know next month will be busy for a lot of you since it’s the last month of school. So I hope to give you a number of releases next month to get you through your finals.

I have chapters from 2 projects for you today. The first is another chapter of Boku wo Tsutsumu Tsuki no Hikari that our friends over at Tsuki Scansand our proofreader, Raijin, worked really hard on. They do such a wonderful job on it and I know that we’re really grateful for all the work that they do, so please make sure you let them all know that you appreciate their hard work. It’s your thoughtful comments that help to keep us all going and we do really appreciate them.

The other project that I have for you is Close to My Sweetheart. We’ve now finished up volume 2 and have started the third and final volume of this sweet love story. I’d also like to introduce our newest editor Misaki FiTS, who worked very hard on v03 ch11 for all of you. Please give her your thanks and warm welcome. You’ll see more of her work soon.

So enjoy your reading and we’ll see you again sometime next month!

We are still looking for raws for the following projects:
Lovely ch12-31

Projects in dire need of editors: Unfortunately, most of them.

If any of you are interested in helping us out, please email me at esthetiquestaff@gmail.com or go to the join us page above and download and complete the test for that position and send it back to me.

Also, as a reminder, we have a 3 day waiting period for hosting our projects. All downloads can be found in the forum until the 3 days are up and then I will post them to the main page.

We’re Back!

April 5th, 2013

Hi and welcome to a Friday release!

Wow! I can’t believe March went by so quickly! Sorry I had to take a hiatus for the month, but real life can be a pain when you become an adult. Children, work, etc. Lol.

Anyway I have 2 releases for you today. The first is another chapter of Crystal Dragon that HKgaines and our friends over at Wingtip Cafe worked really hard on. They do such a wonderful job on it and I know that we’re really grateful for all the work that they do, so please make sure you let them all know that you appreciate their hard work. It’s your thoughtful comments that help to keep us all going and we do really appreciate them.

The other project that I have for you is Nude Na Kajitsu Taichi. We’re starting the second volume of this and I hope to have this become a regular release until the end because I now have a dedicated editor for it. Please give a thanks to our translators seddy and Fantasy Elf for getting this project completely translated and our editor Blue Rose for taking on this project. I can’t forget megmerrai who did all the proofreading. Please let them know how much they are appreciated.

I leave you now with your 1/2 hour of reading. Yes, I know it won’t take you long to read through the chapters if you’re anything like me. Take care until next time!

Happy 7th Anniversary!

February 26th, 2013

Hi and welcome to our 7th anniversary release!

Yes, it’s been 7 fun years since our founder, Sylvie, started this site for all of us, fans and staff alike. If you’re out there watching Sylvie, we miss you!

I want to thank all the fans as well as our past and present staff for being with us through all these years. Without all of you, we wouldn’t be the group that we are today. So let’s see how many more years we can keep this going!

Like previous years, I have warm wishes from some of the staff as well:

Happy 7th anniversary!! All the best to everyone this year…
To me this place is paradise
Hope more members will be add up into this family tree
Hope all of us stay in here for long long time

–> with Love Plchat (editor)

Another wonder year everyone!! Happy 7th Anniversary Esthetique!!!! Individual commitment to a group effort, that is what makes a great team work. I’m proud to work with such an amazing team, and look forward to the future.

Hugs! Blue Rose (editor)

Happy 7th Anniversary!!
I’m glad to be part of this big family with so many lovely people.
May this year be awesome as well!!
よろしくね! 請多多指教!
- Sanguine -(Chinese translator)

Esthetique has reached its 7th Heaven! Thanks to our readers who have supported us and keep Esthetique going for this long. I’m happy to have been part of this community for almost as long as this group has existed. Happy Anniversary!
Keep enjoying our work. -Shekyl-(Proofreader & Spanish translator)

And off we are to new heights leaving a trail of star dust on our path.
Glittering, glittering crumbles left behind as if to point to a possible future.
But we pay no heed and burst forth into the unknown.
That’s what Esthetique stands for!

Arrogant me wishing all the best and a grandiose Birthday to the team as a whole.
It’s great working and chatting with you all!!

Rumble! Rumble! Thunderbolt in the making…

Raijin (French translator & proofreader)

Happy Birthday Esthetique! Lucky number 7! May we be as lucky for the next 7 too! -Rosieposie- (editor)

With that said, I shamelessly ask for help. Especially Japanese translators and editors. We can also use Chinese and Korean translators too because I have some new projects that I would like to start. However, these new projects will have to wait until we can get some more of our current projects finished up. So please, please email us. We don’t bite, really. Well, you might get a chocolate cake thrown at you, but really, we’re harmless. *Looks at the glaring staff members waiting to get revenge for that comment.* Okay, so maybe it was me ready to throw the cake, but we do have a fun time playing tag in the shoutbox, LOL.

Now on to our releases! Unfortunately, I don’t have a ton of chapters for all of you, but I do have enough to hopefully keep you all reading for a few hours so that you can get your manga fix! First off, I’d like to thank our friends over at  Tsuki Scans for working with us for the past 1 1/2 years on Boku wo Tsutsumu Tsuki no Hikari and now on Love Trap, which we have started from the beginning again. Please make sure that you visit them to give them you’re thanks for these 2 projects. I also want to send out a thank you to the staff who used to make up Serenus Dreamers for introducing us to Love Trap. May we give it the love that it deserves.

Next we say goodbye to an old friend. After 5 years, we’ve finally finished this project. Thanks to everyone who worked on it I know we’ll all miss it. BUT… I just learned recently there is a sequel called Chicken Cutlet Prince, which is being scanlated by Luu Scanlations. Go to their site and check it out. I know I will be soon to get my fix. :)

Of course, I can’t forget the next chapter of Fated to Love You for this anniversary. I’ve had too many fans bombing me with emails on when the next chapter of this will be released. Well, here it is! *Dangles it out like a piece of meat to the rabid fangirls (and guys).* I’ve got a great editor who decided to make this final volume her baby, so expect more releases of it in the near future.

Lastly we have the last 2 chapters of volume 1 of Mayonaka ni Kiss. I want to thank the staff over at Evil Flowers for helping us with the extra, 130cm Kara Merry Christmas from this project. Volume 2 was going to be a joint project between our groups, but like us, they are also plagued with lack of staff. So I wish them the best of luck and hopefully we’ll both have fans who will apply to be new staffies and help us bring out more releases.

Well, I had better go. My electricity keeps trying to go out on me because my area of the country is getting hit with the snowpocalypse of 2013. Yes, it is a snowpocalypse for my area because we just got a foot of snow last Thursday and now we’re to get up to 20 inches on top of it today. In the last 20 years, my area has been lucky to see 5 inches of snow let alone the 20+ inches we’re getting. Oh well, the kiddies are happy. All I heard in the background yesterday was this insane chanting… No school, No school, No school. *sigh* So if you too are getting hit with the snownami, I feel for you. I know I was probably hearing your chanting along with my kids’.

Take care, stay warm, and stay safe. We’ll see you all next month.
