Hm, I just watched in the last few days the anime series... so are the novels as fun to read as the series was to watch? (I wasnt that interessted before, because of the pirates in mini skirts part, which I thought of as a little bit silly ;))
Please don't mind my bad english since I'm german.

if you look on amazon for japan the latest novel is 12 and was released 2014/8/20 see: http://www.amazon.co.jp/ミニスカ宇宙海賊12-モーレツ ... 4022760133 so doesn't seem completed.

if you like amazons star ratings as a meter of how well its liked it seems to average about 4/5 over the 12 novels. but, the number of reviews were pretty low on a few of the novels.

anyway, i also would like to see this translated.

I'm quite interested with this series, it seems has pretty solid in terms of the science especially the Electronic Warfare.
Also story about Original Seven, that still quite mysterious.
Anyone know where i can find any raw of this series?

Been looking for something appealing since Owari no Chronicles finished and waiting on the next book in Horizon. See what happens after the anime would make this a nice added read, I rather surprised is wasn't already here.

I think the source is stopped though iirc...
Winter's the time of the year,
when the cold chill the skin,
from the very within,
but you grasped my hand,
your eyes shedding a frozen tear.
Our eyes met,
and warmth filled the air.
