One Month Hiatus
I have become very busy these past months so I'm announcing a one month hiatus. I know you all have been waiting patiently for Spiral Alive after years of inactivity so I hope this wait isn't as dreadful. I'm still eager to finish Spiral Alive so don't worry about it being dropped. Thank you for your patience. :)

Spiral Alive Chapter 23 is currently being worked on! Two new redrawers have joined the team so this is no longer a one-person group. :D I'll still leave the redrawer recruitment open indefinitely so if for anyone is still interested, please apply!

Still Recruiting!
This is just a post to let people know that I'm still accepting applications for redrawers. I've already received two of them. :) Thanks!

Recruiting Redrawers for Spiral Alive!
I'm going to be recruiting 1-3 redrawers. In general, a redrawer is someone who removes any text over the art and redraws the art as if the text wasn't there. Please read the information below if you are interested. Here are some samples of redrawings: Sample 1,
Sample 2
General Information:
- This is a temporary position. If you've read the first post, the only purpose of this group right now is to complete the scanalation of Spiral Alive, so once we're done, you won't be working on anything else from WCS. With that being said, you will only be working on Spiral Alive.
- This is entirely a voluntarily position; you won't be paid. I'm not being paid either. :D
- There are no deadlines. I'd like to have a chapter redrawn in 1-2 months, but I'm not really enforcing it. If you don't send back anything within half a year, we might have a problem...
What are the requirements?
- Photoshop (Other programs are fine as long as you can open, edit, and send them back as PSDs)
- Familiarity with Photoshop (if you are a beginner, read some guides!)
- Email (I need this to contact you and send you the files)
- Immunity to spoilers (Yes, you may come across spoilers when redrawing)
- Free time!
- Beginners are welcome if you self-teach yourself (I'm still new to this myself ^^)
Optional:
+ An eye for art. (I know we all can't be professionals XD)
+ Experience with the scanlation process.
+ I read Spiral Alive!
What are the standards/expectations?
You will be given cleaned raws and expected to redraw the given areas proficiently. You can look at the previous chapters to get an idea of the quality expected.
- You must remove any dialog that covers the art and redraw it. This includes dialog bubbles and thoughts outside of bubbles.
- You do not have to remove/redraw sound effects or signs.
What's the workload?
There's about an average of 10-15 pages per chapter that will need to be redrawn. This will be split among 1-3 people. I will likely have a chapter ready to be redrawn every 1-2 months.
What's in it for me?
Nothing, really. XD People do this out of their own free time with little to no reward. You will just be helping me out by doing one of the time-consuming task. You'll get experience and your name on the credits page (And staff page if I make one). And, of course, releases will be faster (this depends of me as well).

Spiral Alive 22
I just realized that both of my previous releases were on Sundays. Well, this release will break that record! Feeling down because it's Monday? Then read some Spiral Alive!
Translation Note: (also found on the credits page)
I originally left "Shefiirudo" (romaji spelling) as Shefield because of previous groups' translations. But his name should actually have two f's. So starting from this chapter, Shefield will now be Sheffield.

Future Recruitments
With real life getting in the way, I don't have as much time to concentrate on Spiral Alive and being in a one-person group, I have to do everything myself. My goal is to finish Spiral Alive in a timely manner without losing quality, but with my current situation, I just can't do that by myself. This was my first time stepping into the the scanlation world and I realized it takes a lot of effort for quality releases. I could continue doing this myself, but it would take longer than if I had help. I know that you, the readers, want to read the next Spiral Alive as soon as possible so I have decided to enlist some help.
Most of my time is spent translating, rechecking translation, and redrawing. What I am looking for are redrawers. Most likely 1 or 2, maybe even 3. A redrawer will have to remove any text that is over the art and redraw it as if the text wasn't there. I will provide more details in another post after the release of chapter 22 (within a week). This is just a notice that I will be looking for redrawers, so if you know anyone that may be willing to help, please tell them. ^^ If you have any quick questions, feel free to ask.
tl;dr I will be recruiting redrawers in the near future. I will make another post with more details. Chapter 22 will be released within a week!

Spiral Alive 21
This release includes chapter 21, the preview of the next volume, and a short two-page omake. With this, volume 4 of Spiral Alive is now done! Yay~ The next volume is the last volume. :(
Well, I'm quite tired now so I'll take a little break before continuing with the scanlation.
Oh, and a new character makes an appearance. Enjoy!

White Cloud Scans
Welcome to White Cloud Scans! We-or rather I- am a one-person scanlation group. I guess you can't really call it a group with one person. =.=
Anyways, I am planning to finish up Spiral Alive which hasn't had a release in two years. Spiral Alive has a total of 5 volumes with 28 chapters and only eight chapters left to scanlate.
This is the only purpose of this one-person group at the moment, but who knows, it might expand in the future. ^-^
