Is there a possiblity that I can ever read this in actual English, like an actual license? I guess I'll have to wait for it to be licensed...

As far as i know, the NOVELS are not licensed or translated in English yet... :(

The MANGA, is licensed and set to be out in 2010. Though so far the volumes only cover the story as far as the anime i think? But i heard it is more detailed.

I WANT THE NOVELS in english!!!!! badly!!

Hi! As far as I know, the only way to read the manga is to buy the licensed version (Viz). Previously, it was available for online reading, but I think now it is removed and I think there is no group that is scanting it anyway.

Doesn't really help you directly, but dig around in livejournal; sub_divided has a page in there with fan text translations for the novel volumes 1-17 and some misc. Not updated since 2009 though. Won't be linking since looks like they have links to drama cds &manga now and I haven't looked at mal's tos recently.

That and wordpress seems to inherited the former yuzutea which gives some translations and summaries.

I'd like to read the novels in English too. Really wanted to find out what happened, so searched around & found a site with links to summaries & snippets of english translation passages of the novel. Here is the link if you want to find places to catch up & get links to info on the final two novels:

It was great to finally know overall what happened but would love to be able to read the novels themselves sometime.

I can't believe this never got licensed after all these years! I've seen and forgotten tons of incomplete adaptations, but I still think about Saiunkoku and that abrupt ending of the anime. And it's not like it's some obscure title either, what gives? :(

I've waited 10 years for the light novels to be translated. I'm reading through the translations in the link provided by @Messi above (bless you for sharing it), but God help me, I'm confused out of my mind. I really wanna cry now.

still waiting as well. I loved all the characters in the show and the story itself. Wish any type of decent translation had been done for it
