| There is a change you can find it online if you search hard, Otherwise the change is extraordinary low. in 2020 the first Zero Seiki Movie will be released (the second in 2023 and the third in 2026). All 3 of the movies are related to this series because of the characters. Maybe if people will like the movie and go back to watch everything related (The series is extremely big so I don't think anyone will) and want to read the manga there is a change, but keep it at 0,00001%. Sorry to bring the bad news :3 (I'm a big fan of the anime series) |

| I am pretty sure that's not what you're searching for, but just in case I'll still let you know that the whole series has been licensed and translated in French a while ago. Leiji Matsumoto's works got a lot of attention here, so a lot of them got released: Emeraldas, Herlock, even some of his one-shots. It saddens me to see that it's so hard to find them in english, I can't even find raws for some. :/ |
Quiddity131 said: I too hope for a translation and am thinking of doing it myself given the absence of one (although it will likely take me a while). I can say there are some stories in the manga that weren't adapted for the TV show; I'm assuming the TV show passed the manga at some point. Correct. They caught up extremely quickly, which is why the TV series ended almost eight months before the manga. It didn't take long because the weekly chapters released were parts of one individual story (for example, chapter one was released over the span of three weeks, while in the TV version, it was simply one episode). |
| It's a hopeless situation but there's always the possibility that someone like Seven Seas or Kodansha will pick up the manga for an official English release. It's a bit strange it hasn't happened yet really, Galaxy Express isn't exactly a niche title within Leiji's works and Queen Emeraldas, Captain Harlock and Space Battleship Yamato have already received an English release. I suppose this has to do with the fact that they're much shorter so even if sales aren't the best they're only making 1-3 volumes at most. Galaxy Express would be at the very least 6 volumes and on the other hand isn't as popular as Captain Harlock. Guess it does make sense why an official release hasn't happened, but it's never completely out of the picture. If MGS The Origin can get a 12 volume release with extremely high quality made books while being an already niche series and even more niche iteration of the show in the west I don't see why another miracle can't happen. Seven Seas recently licensed the original Lupin III manga so they definitely have their eyes on the classics, never know what could happen. |

WuxianXiaozu said: Small update: Instead of doing a chapter every week or two, I'll stop with the translation now and wait until I have a month where I'm completely free so I can translate the entire thing. A lot of the chapters in the second half of the manga are 40-70 pages long which takes a lot of time to translate. I would do it every week if all chapters were 20-30 pages, but it's hard to find the motivation when most of them are really big. So once I'm completely free, I'll do the entire thing in a few weeks Thank you so much for translating this amazing series :) |
