Does anyone know...

...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. -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. 
Don't know, myself, but I've asked on Usenet.

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. -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
...Ufufufufufu. That would, indeed, be most awesome indeed.
=========== =============================================== "V, did you do something foolish?" "Yes, and it was glorious."
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 Quote:France has planned, and since the Apollo lunar landing mission.

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

Oh, and the fourth book appears to be about a mission to the asteroid belt.
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
...Yukari's world is so very, very awesome.

... Okay, now we definitely need to do more work to bring this into Fenspace.
And it was how many months (if not years) ago that I suggested that?

Based on the anime, Rob.
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. Quote: robkelk wrote: ook... Well, it will give me something else to do to moderate myself on DSKS... Now I just need to friggin learn Japanese so I can read the light novels for myself!
Rob, any word from Usenet?
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
None. (I did get a lead on the Japanese novels, but you weren't looking for those...)

If I could read Japanese, maybe... but I already found links to buy them during my initial search. Thanks for the help.
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
Good news, Bob: VIZ is going to release at least the first novel next year: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/20 ... each-guide
Oh, excellent! Gotta remember to order that when it becomes available. Thank you!
