I am making my rounds through most Jojo content right now and I found there are just a couple of things that I'm not really able to get a hold of.

What is officially released in English is surprisingly lacking, given how popular the series is. There is even less official English manga than there is anime. But for the most part, I've been able to find fan-translation where official releases are lacking.

The exceptions to this are the infamous Phantom Blood movie (and I realize why, of course), and this book right here.

Now, as big as the fanbase is, and seeing as I was able to find fan translations for not just all the other manga but all the other light novels on this database too, I find it rather confusing that a fan translation wouldn't be available to this one. Is there one out there that's just harder to find? Or a reason why translators in the fandom hadn't really tackled it?

I know from the summary that it's just a few more stories about fights during Stardust Crusaders that isn't vital in the least, so I know I'm not missing much. I just felt a little confused and wondered if anyone knew any more.

Sorry, I should have come back to this thread to report my issue was solved, or found a way to delete it. I found translations for both this book and "Golden Heart, Golden Ring" through the translator's Twitter.

Well, don't delete it, as others too might be searching for the translation on MAL forums.
