Strawberry Panic Vol. 3

Would you guys consider translating the final volume of the Strawberry Panic light novel series (which is volume 3)? Seven Seas Entertainment released volumes 1 and 2 in the U.S., but because they had poor sales for their entire light novel line, they have decided to quit publishing all their light novel titles. In Japan the author had to quit working on the Strawberry Panic manga, so now Seven Seas is even unable to publish their Strawberry Panic manga also. I'm dying to know the ending, as well as many fans who bought the first 2 novels or the first 2 volumes of the manga. It would be greatly appreciated, and according to Erica Friedman, the Strawberry Panic light novels are so much more easier to translate than the Maria-sama ga Miteru novels (I'm guessing that shes referring to the amount of kanji in it).

ooh and might i also add that the anime greatly differs from the manga and light novels. the manga is based off the light novels.

mm after doing a bit of browsing on the seven seas forums, im pretty sure they are canceling their entire light novel line. here is a quote from adam arnold, the site admin over there.
Unfortunately, Seven Seas currently has no plans to release or reprint any additional Light Novel titles. So that date for Strawberry Panic novel 3 is incorrect.
here's a link to the quote

it would be really cool if you guys translated the final volume, i need some of the official stuff and not fanfics (because i've read like all the good ones already lol)

seven seas...remind me of a vitamin supplement brand, quite good acutally, unfortunately, this seven seas seems to be entirely disappointing and not even tasty and energy boosting either.

IAnyone have the full list of light novels seven seas will be dropping?

"Kanokon" was also on the list, but it never got in print.

so whats the deal with this? confirmed on gomanga.com (seven seas website) that volume 3 (the final volume) will not be coming out in english, and the first 2 volumes have been out for awhile. ive really enjoyed the story so far, and they just leave me hanging. i cant even finish teh story throught he manga because the manga author quit that project and the manga was based on the light novel.
