hi guys!
i have no idea what to actually write so i’ll get straight to the point. yes, we have a release today but it’s going to be really slow in the future because we do not have enough staff. SO PLEASE. do a good deed and help us out. we need cleaners & translators!
Okay, I know this is not exactly the best title, but this is the only thing I can think of, other than “YAY IT’S A NEW RELEASE!”. Anyway I was thinking of doing weekly releases but it turned out impossible as we don’t have enough staff. :/ I’m sure you know where I’m getting at but oh well, I’ll talk about that later.
Wagaya no Oinarisama - Chapter 17: Okay this is a pretty surprising chapter, I’d say. The cliffhanger comes at the end but before that, there are some pretty tense moments. :o I’m not exactly a fan of this series tbh but it’s pretty nice, so give it a try!
So tumblr sucks, it doesn’t allow me to change my font colour and size but I’ve got an image of it lol & I’m going to keep posting this annoying thing until someone comes. ;A; Okay so apparently even the image doesn’t come out right.

I’d like to present to you guys an unfortunate news regarding Sorairo Kaigan. As you all know, it’s a new project we’ve just picked up recently. However, I’ve just discovered that it’s licensed in English by Tokyopop, hence we’ll not be continuing this series. Thank you for having read chapter 8.5, if you want to read Sorairo Kaigan, you can always check out Tokyopop’s website.
Have a nice day!
Hi readers/staff!
Aren’t you excited omg? I am & I seriously can’t contain it while typing this thing out. WE’RE HAVING A COMEBACK AHAHAHAHA. c8 /blinksblinks/ Why, you might ask. That’s because we haven’t released anything since like forever - 3-4 months perhaps, so I’m calling this a comeback. c; I may seem to be repeating myself and rambling on about really simple things, but I’m excited - so it’s forgivable, isn’t it?
ANYWAY! We’re having a mass release together with our comeback, there’s a total of 9 releases - hey don’t judge yet - but basically there are only 5 series I think. Before I present to you the releases, I’ll need to address certain issues first.
- Forum - I’m sure you guys know about it because there was a post about this, but our forum is down and is still down. /sighs I’m actually not thinking of making a new one because, honestly, will you even visit it? Probably no, so I doubt I can call the forum a platform where readers and staff interact. Instead, wouldn’t that be a kind of staff lounge instead? e u e ; Due to the inactivity, the forum won’t be set up, until, yes until, we get a forum maker for the group. The group’s previous forum maker has gone missing and stupidly, I can’t remember her tumblr url so there’s no way I can actually contact her, I doubt she replies to her email too. Uh sorry for drifting, but I’m thinking that if we actually want to have a forum, won’t it be best if the forum is nice and pretty? So until we get a forum maker, the forum will be down.
- Site - Also known as tumblr. It’s not very updated, if you’ve realized. The most crucial one is the projects list; I haven’t updated it since last year when I made the site. So don’t get mistaken when you see just two projects - that’s just the effects of my procrastination. I know you guys will be like “But you’re the admin! How can you leave your group to rot?”, well I can - uh I mean it’ll take a while, yes. I’ll update it when I have the time to.
& now after the announcements, here are the releases! ASDFGHJKLKJHJKJH MY EMOTIONS. OKAY SORRY FOR MY FANGIRL SPASMS BUT I’M SO PROUD OF THIS GROUP AND THE STAFF WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO EVERYTHING. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST LIKE REALLY.
Sougihime
Chapter 3 / Chapter 4 / Chapter 5
This is perhaps going to be a bimonthly release since there’s only one translator working on it.
Tokyo Yamanote Boys - Joint with Shoujo Crusade
We’ve officially dropped this manga, this will be the last chapter of Tokyo Yamanote Boys we’re releasing. Be sure to thank the people at Shoujo Crusade for their hard work!
Wagaya no Oinarisama
I’d say this manga is definitely getting more and more interesting. The are nine volumes for this currently and it’s only the second one we’re on, so be sure to look out for our future releases of this manga! Hopefully we’ll be able to finish this series. :D
&! We have new projects on our shelves!
I fangirled so hard for this okay, the art is simply great! At first glance this may seem like your usual shoujo manga with overly-cliche plot, but look, mangas these days are moving away from the norm, so what happens if you have a manga that was published just a year ago in 2012, with an overly-cliche plot? I haven’t read this manga yet so I wouldn’t say this is your typical shoujo manga, but the summary already gives me the feels omg. “A red thread that binds two people together…”. So what do you expect? Haha, give this manga a shot and you may like it either for its art or clicheness.
v.3 c.8 by Obsession Scans (165d ago) In case you were wondering why Obsession Scans hasn’t released the next chapter in months, check out their site - they have closed down. ): We have a staff who wanted Sorairo Kaigan to be continued, so yes, here we are we the next chapter! I wouldn’t say it’s the next chapter since it’s only chapter 8.5, but that’s not the issue, I guess. If you haven’t heard or read of this, give it a shot! I think the plot is not bad. :)
A note to Obsession Scans: We’ve used your translations and cleans for chapter 8.5 and will continue to use your work until chapter 10. It’s a pity that I wasn’t able to get a reply from you regarding the permission. In case you’re wondering how I have access to your staff section in the forum, I’m Secret-Caramel. c:
Now the releases are over! But that doesn’t mean you can close this window, please read on!
We’re desperately recruiting translators of Korean, Japanese or Chinese, cleaners, typesetters & quality checkers! Even if you’re inexperienced, it doesn’t matter, so long you have the passion and dedication and won’t go missing for no reason.
We have several projects in need of translators.
Blind Marchen - K-E translators
Sougihime - J-E translators
Soriaro Kaigan - J-E translators
Wagaya no Oinarisama - C-E/J-E translators
We currently have adequate cleaners and typesetters for our five projects, but to get more projects, we need more people in our group. The above listed three titles won’t be released any time soon if we simply don’t get enough translators! So please, if you can translate or know anyone who can, join now!

Have fun reading!

I have created an IRC channel at IRCHighway.net. If anyone interested to chat, please do visit our IRC. You could check for new release link at IRC also. I’ll put them at the Channel’s topic. Check the IRC Channel here irc://irc.irchighway.net/#shirayuki-scans or here if you don’t have any IRC software http://webchat.irchighway.net/?channels=shirayuki-scans
Okay, so what I’ve heard from the qc-er of this chapter we’re going to release is that she cried like a baby (sorry Kat for leaking your secret. :P). So you can pretty much imagine how sad this chapter is going to be. Anyway, here’s the release!
Please enjoy it and our recruitment is still open so please do join us and help us out. Or at least spread the word, otherwise it’s not going to be easy for us to release quickly. x.x
Have a nice day! :D
So it’s been a while since we’ve released, which I know, hence let me bring you some releases we’ve got today. Prepare some time as I’m sure you will need quite some time to read so many pages. x.x
I haven’t read them yet, but I think it’s getting quite interesting, especially the fox deity one. Also, we’ve got a new series here - Sougihime. It looks interesting and the art is pretty nice too. Anyway, please enjoy the releases!
- Sougihime - Chapter 1
- Wagaya no Oinarisama - Chapter 12
- Wagaya no Oinarisama - Chapter 13
- Wagaya no Oinarisama - Chapter 14
We’re recruiting: Translators (K, J, C), Proofreaders, Cleaners, Typesetters, Quality Checkers. Inexperienced ones are welcome!
We are currently very low on staff, which means that we can’t get releases out quickly without stressing our already-stressed staff.
So, if you want your favorite releases to be out quickly and can be any one of those positions below, feel free to join us. We don’t bite and are super friendly. :)
Translators (Japanese, Chinese, Korean)
- Translators translate the series into English. Basic level of fluency is needed and the translations have to be clear.
Proofreaders
- Proofreaders check the translations to see if there are any grammatical or spelling errors. You will also have to compare the script to the raws to see if the translations don’t sound awkward. You must have an excellent grasp of the English Language.
Cleaners
- Cleaners are expected to remove the text, level, rotate, crop, redraw, etc. from the raws. Complicated sound effects will not need to be cleaned and can be subtitled. Cleans are supposed to be saved in psds and zipped.
Typesetters
- Typesetters have to type the proofread translations onto the cleaned scans. Photoshop is necessary to open the psd cleans.
Quality Checkers
- Quality checkers are responsible for finding and fixing any mistakes made by the previous jobs. You will have to have a high level of fluency in English and must have an editing program (eg. Photoshop).
Graphic Designers (no official name for this)
- Graphic designers do the obvious: design graphics. These graphics may be banners or icons etc. They are used for the forum and sometimes on the site. You must have an editing program to make the graphics.
If you have no experience and want to try out any of the position, you are truly welcome to! We can teach you so that next time, when you want to help out at other scanlation groups, you can do so, being experienced. :)
Or at least please reblog this post so that more people are aware that we are currently recruiting.
Current Projects:
- Anohana (Japanese translator and cleaner needed)
- Blind Marchen (Korean translator needed)
- Sougihime (Japanese translator, cleaner and quality checker needed)
- Wagaya no Oinarisama (Japanese/Chinese translator needed)
If you’re joining us, there is a chance for you to get a manga you like revived! The genre of this manga, however, must fit with the main genre of our group.
