Well, we are having another release.  This is surprising for us since more than half of the people we have are either MIA or on hiatus.  Lol, plus, I really don’t know how a lot of the staff who have a family and everything able to do it.  I’m worn out already and all I have to deal with is working and feeding myself.  (Hopefully it’s just the transitioning thing and it’s going to be just for a few months.)

The translators/proofreaders/editors are awesome as always, and the uploaders are still hanging there even though I turned their forum upside down.  Lol  (Nothing seems to work on their side anymore… especially the manga list, sigh)

Anyway, we do need a lot more editors.  I’m really sorry if you did apply and I haven’t gotten back to you, so please send me another respond.  Much appreciated.

Release:

West Heaven Garden v01 ch04
Anata e no Tsuki Story 02
Close to my Sweetheart v01 ch03

Also, congratulation to Spain for winning the World Cup.

Crystal Dragon v06 ch04 – Joints with Wingtip Cafe

So, the result for the poll is out already.  (Or one hour later if you’re reading the message now)

The reason for the poll was to decide whether it’s worth it to still have the forum open, and apparently it’s not from the result.  I thought about closing down the forum quite some time ago after realizing how the activity in the forum been decreasing drastically, and as much as I want to continue to keep it, I kind of get tired after running a few months without the support from ads and donation.  Plus, you guys have to agree with me that there are so much manga hosting place now, that it’s just plain stupid to keep it going when almost every place offer the same thing.

The plan is to move us to smaller server.  If you’ve been using Esthetique as your main source for downloading, I’ll try to continue to keep the downloading section open until we’re no longer able to at our new server.  Anyway, I’ll go deeply into this next time.  (This is also posted in the forum under Announcement, so if you’re a member of the forum, feel free to post up any suggestions, opinions, etc…)

We’re releasing three chapters of Antique Romance today, so enjoy.
