Pastel 107 and the future of Pastel
Good news and bad news…
The good news… thanks to me having the script prepared beforehand and Faktek providing me with cleaned pages, typesetting was a breeze and I got it done rather quickly.
So here, chapter 107. This marks the 16th Pastel chapter I’ve worked on.
Now the bad news… I will be rather busy in the next few weeks due to exams and since I want to bring closure to a few other projects that I do as part of FoOlRulez, there is no more time for Pastel. After I’m done with the exams, I will probably just have a window of one week to prepare for going abroad for an exchange program for half a year. Editing on a 13 inch macbook during that time would be a pain in the ass. And I can’t start translating volume 22 in the first place as long as the chinese version isn’t out yet. Oh and the raws for volume 22 I have right now are rather low quality…
I’m telling this because obviously I’m not going to do anything for Pastel in the near future and I don’t want to hog this manga to myself. If anybody wants take over, he/she/they get(s) my moral support. Or you can wait for Dynasty scans to catch up :)
If you want to, contact me and I’ll redirect you to somebody who has the cleaned pages for chapter 108.

Bah that sucks =S
Good luck with your exams and your exchange program !

Dynasty scans to catch up you say…..
so tell me….are we going to be alive when this happens?
June 21st, 2009 at 17:29
Well I might be back in business before that happens :)
That’s when
- I finished the exchange term
- chinese version comes out
- better scans are out

Whoa back-to-back releases, awesome! Sad to hear that this will be the last of it for a while though…
Thanks for all of the time and effort spent on all of the last releases, and good luck on the exchange program!
June 21st, 2009 at 19:00
Well you’ve done a great job, and doing it for free, so I have no complaints really. Best of luck to you in the future. :3

i could help a little. i have photoshop and all. I can just clean it up, write the text in the bubbles, and what not. the only thing i cant do is translate, so i need someone who can translate what they’re saying. but i must warn you, its not that great of quality as guorbatchow but its not that bad as well.
June 21st, 2009 at 21:39
sounds nice hurdla. i can help on the translation. if its chinese, i can do it. i just need the raw scan in chinese. and guorbatschow’s permission of course to get the clean scans. i’ll work on the task, i just need the editor, and graphics artist… that should be enough
June 21st, 2009 at 21:55
I’ve sent you guys a mail to get you together and provided you with a few infos.
update: seems like the email address maxwell0083 provided isn’t valid…
June 21st, 2009 at 23:48
I could typeset for you guys but that’s it
June 22nd, 2009 at 01:02
u know what we can do. we can have warriordaigrepher typeset for us. i can clean it up because i wont be able to typeset the whole time. i can only do it during break. cleaning is much more faster and easier. i can also proofread it as well, it shouldnt take that long. maxwell can translate.
June 22nd, 2009 at 01:25
that would be awesome guys! :)
June 22nd, 2009 at 01:28
sorry about that, corrected it. should be good to go. i can translate chinese but not japanese. thats all i can offer
June 22nd, 2009 at 01:29
sorry to double post. thou i am old, i like pastel and would not want this project dying, so during work, im not that busy i can translate halfway through
June 22nd, 2009 at 01:41
I’ve resent the mail.
Again: cleaning has already been done. Translating and typesetting is needed.
June 22nd, 2009 at 04:43
Thanks for all of your hard work! The double update was quite a treat, and I hope Maxwell and others pull this together quickly so Pastel can keeping going!
June 22nd, 2009 at 05:21
Thanks for the hard work… and good luck.
And, thanks to the people who is trying to continue with Pastel.
June 22nd, 2009 at 05:24
Many thanks for your work, and good luck to anyone who picks it up.
June 22nd, 2009 at 08:52
Wow! That’s great! goodluck guys!
June 22nd, 2009 at 09:06

hey guys. its me again. about our project, it wont be posted here since i dont want to take away guorbs. blog. so, the new chapters will be coming out on the website i have for u below. please continue coming to guorbs. blog and support him in any way by leaving comments and all that good stuff. he has done an incredible job and it sucks to see a person willing to work for this manga go away while others (dynasty *cough* haha jk) slug their way through. thank you very much guorb. and i hope that when ur done with ur foreign exchange thing, u’ll be able to pick this and other good mangas up.
here it is. im a newb at blogging so bear with me.

@Oehr
You do realise, except for SleepyFans all the other groups that scanlate Naruto are from the exact same translator? Cnet 128, i think. It’s a battle of “the best QUALITY scanlation” for Naruto. Same applies for One Piece. Though, it’s quite difficult to scanlate using magazines compared to the books.
Thanks for the Pastel chapters, guorbatschow. Hopefully, we can see 108 before you leave…
June 24th, 2009 at 00:13
Thank you, guortbatschow! Good luck with ur exams and foreign exchange program. Hope you will translate Pastel again, once you come back ^^. By the way, how much time did you spend on learning Japanese to be able to translate the mangas?
June 24th, 2009 at 04:21
I owe you a world of thanks Guor. You’ve definitely done a killer job at translating and releasing this manga, wch has to be among my favourites.
I do hope you enjoy releasing Pastel chapters as much as all gathered here enjoy reading them.
The best of luck on your exchange. I trust you will still find time to stop by Foolz’s channel?
June 24th, 2009 at 07:35
i didnt know that. but in the end, there are multiple groups working on naruto, even if they share the same translation….
June 25th, 2009 at 15:20
Nooooooooooooo that is unfair ;(
Dynastie will catch you ? ok i’ll see you in 20years !
June 26th, 2009 at 05:33
oh noez :(
good luck anyway, but know that deep inside my heart i hold a little grudge that wont wear off until u come back :(
June 27th, 2009 at 16:09
guorbatschow, thanks for your efforts. I really am a fan of the series and with dynasty being screwed up as it is, the project would’ve been halted for good if not for you. Good luck to your endeavors.
Hopefully, this volume would be finished before you go.
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:24
You rocked dude! loll if possible could u send me the raws as well i could try to help out as well. loll finally i could try to contribute to the manga community:)
July 5th, 2009 at 07:30
I feel a little late on the discussion, But I used to work on pastel back when Geisha was doing it, but Geisha has since dispersed. I am currently working with CXC scans on Orichalcum Reycal but would never pass up the chance if someone wants to start working on it again. If I can get a Translator, a cleaner, and a typesetter (i can take care of typesetting if needed), then we can get out some of these chapters.
Please contact me if anyone is interested/starting to work on Pastel :)
noobiesnackz@gmail.com or on http://noobiesnack.freeforums.org (its lonely there)

hmmm, well, Dynasty has already said that they wont do Pastel anymore
so, there’s only you left
Good luck with your project and thank you
July 11th, 2009 at 05:07
I’m seriously dying because I cannot read this manga.
July 11th, 2009 at 12:55
NOOOOOOOOOOOoo.. you simply gotsta do it! I”ll even send you your big monitorrrrrr
July 17th, 2009 at 18:00
Thanks for your hard work. I love pastel and wish to see it continue in the future. I guess I gotta wait and read some other manga. Good luck with all your school stuff my friend is studying over sea’s as well for his summer term.
