Does anyone know... - Bob Schroeck - 12-03-2009
...if translations for the "Rocket Girls" light novels are available anywhere on the Web? I've been looking for them on and off since we saw the
anime, and so far have had no luck.
Thanks.

I had not been aware that such a thing existed, but now that I am I'd be extremely interested in seeing any such translation.

Okay, thanks.
Valles -- the Wikipedia entry for the series has a little more information on the light novels; the English title of the third suggests strongly that they
actually make it to the moon, which I'd love to see/read.

A trip to the moon would seem unlikely, though, given that the business plan of the SSA is to sell cheap access to low earth orbit.
I mean, a moon trip is an order of magnitude more expensive. And what are they going to get paid to do there?

Well... a quick search turned up two different editions of the novel, entitled A Relationship With Me In January: Rocket Girls 3 (http://books.google.com/books?id=PBchNw ... yAS8orTIAw]1999 printing, http://books.google.com/books?id=PyyfQg ... ywTxqf2oBw]2007 printing).
The book overviews for these two, when translated via Google, come out as
Quote:"I'mand

And no, I have no idea how I got that blue highlight with the Japanese text tooltip. I certainly didn't do it intentionally.

None. (I did get a lead on the Japanese novels, but you weren't looking for those...)
