Basically October 2022, still no translation updates. I'm desperate, so at this point I guess I'll just look for a raw version, throw it in a somewhat decent translator and rely on my imagination to fill in the gaps and try to make sense of whatever I end up reading (for myself of course, I don't know Japanese and I don't want to submit an automated translation as an "actual" translation).
Good

March 2023, looks like Baka Tsuki have translated Volume 1 as of last year, so there's hope for this series yet!

@Verdandi- From what I read, in regard in particular to his past translations, they are not the most accurate ones. Therefore, I feel a bit hesitant, although I don't have the abilities to judge the quality.
"Even now, I travel on my journey,
Believing in the world,
Aiming for something far away – an endless journey.
Having a dream like someone else’s,
Or being in someone else’s dream –
Which would you prefer?"

@DerMond I'm still at volume 3 but I am enjoying the read. I can't really say how accurate it is to the original version but it seems fine. Beggars can't be choosers and I'm quite grateful for the work he has put into this.

Edit: There were some things that annoyed me in the translation, specially some over repeating mannerisms and a few typos.
Every now and then, the phrasing seems to lose track of where it was going and end up making things needlesly confusing (hard to say how much this is due to the TL or not). I assume he didn't have an editor of sorts so these are to be expected, not to mention the Romeo's style is famous for being quite hard to read/adapt.
But this if far, far better than any MTL alternatives I checked. So despite me focusing on the negatives there, overall I believe he did a good job.

I got around reading the GHS translation (the man is a nutjob but hey if one of my favorite anime ever is getting a translated novel I'm not gonna say no) and so far it's alright. I dig it.
