Hello everyone,

We have another release for you guys today. With special thanks to craxx, whose birthday I found out is today, and the rest of the staff over at Aerandria, we give you the last 2 chapters of Kingyo Sou.

Please be sure to say thank both staffs for their hard work and make sure you get on IRC and go wish craxx a Happy Birthday too.

Kingyo Sou v02 ch08 & extra

Hello everyone,

I know this is short, but I decided to make a release a day earlier than usual.  Today is Cindy’s birthday and the staff over at Esthetique still wanted to celebrate it even though she has retired. So Happy Birthday Cindy!! Hope you enjoy the release for today!

Fated To Love You v01 ch05

Hello everyone,

I know the title for this post is probably pretty scary, but fear not, Esthetique is not closing down. The reason for the farewell is that 2 of our 3  most beloved and precious admins have decided to retire and spread their wings to fly in the real world.

To Sylvie, our head admin and creator of this wonderful site back in 2006 and Cindy, 2nd in command- your joys were our joys, your sorrows, our sorrows, you know we would have followed you to the ends of the earth had you but asked. We will all miss you greatly and know that we will welcome you back with open arms if you should decide to return or just visit. Ever since I became and editor for Esthetique back in 2007, you have given me guidance, shown me patience *cough, font size, cough*, and opened my eyes to a world I was only beginning to understand. I thank you both from the bottom of my heart.  My only hope now is to keep Esthetique as the vision you created and the home we all know and love. I wish you the best.                  ~Katana1765

@Sylvie – thank you for being patient with me, no matter how slow I QC’d or how neurotic I was about “dirt” on my pages.

@Cindy – thank you for not slapping me upside the head for bugging you to death over missing translations or SFX and questions about projects

@Both – Thank you for letting me join the Esthetique staff. I’ve enjoyed every minute of being here and look forward to being here as long as possible. Please feel free to stay as long as possible and don’t forget to drop in and chat from time to time!                    ~hkgaines

@Sylvie: Thank you for teach me everything about how to edit in Esth style. Because of that I am able to teach other as well. Wish you all the best and come and visit site sometime.

@Cindy: I really glad to meet you and thank you for change my title staff from Scanner staff to Editor staff. I’m really glad that you like my work. I wish you all the best and come to visit site sometime too.

@Both: I really happy even if you become only Ghost Admin.                    ~plchat

… It is a really sad thing to see you leave >_< Esthetique is the first group I joined that treated me well, and where do I get my LPW scans after this!?? But, I do hope that you will succeed in the things in real life that is keeping you away… be sure to check back once in a while!!                    ~Hiwatari Ki

To Cindy: Thanks for letting me into this community where people work together voluntarily to get the mangas out xD without you I’d have never been able to do this. Luv you! I hope you come back and visit us sometimes?

To Sylvie: I never really got to talk with you but I’ve seen your hard work around the site. Have a good retirement from scanlation. ~Seddy

@Sylvie: Really a shame you won’t have time to remain at the same position. You did such a great job!! Thanks for your help and good luck with your real life! Nevertheless, don’t forget to show up on the forum sometimes…I’d would really love to hear what you have been up to if ever you find the time to….

Cindy: You were always really cool! Thanks for helping me when I first started. I think I owe a lot to you and it’ll be tough when you go~ Good luck in life!

@Cindy:  I can’t believe you’re retiring…!!  Thanks for being so patient with me, a noob translator x).  If it weren’t for your kindness and the open, friendly atmosphere you created everywhere you went, I would never have joined Esthetique at all >w<.

I wish you all the best, and be sure to stay in touch!! TToTT

@Sylvie: I never really got a chance to know you, but I’ve always admired you from the sidelines.  Much kudos to you for all you’ve done for Esthetique .                    ~Jay

Sylvie – As the founder of Esthetique, there are no adequate words to thank you for all that you have done for the group.  You have supported the group in so many roles that we’ve lost count.  We wish you the best, and please come visit often!

Doki – You have done a tremendous job for Esthetique in many roles, especially that of applicant/staff/projects coordinating admin!  Thank you!  We wish you the best in all that you are doing, and appreciate you coming back to help us transition!  Please visit often!                    ~Chibi-chan

I had a great time talking to you, exchanging experiences to a personal level and regarding the group. I hope you always remember you’ll be welcomed back again and take with bravery all the chances you have in life to improve.                    ~Mario
