Miniskirt Space Pirates

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

In the far future where space travel and colonialization have become the norm, humanity has expanded its living space to the far reaches of the known galaxy.

Due to legalization from the govermental body, post-war Space Pirates activities are now reduced to more legal jobs (like errand running and staging raids for the entertainment of space travellers). The cessation of illegal activities is gradually causing them to pass into local legend.

Marika Kato is a high school girl living a rather ordinary life as a member of the space yacht club and a part-time job at the high-class retro Lamp Café. One day, Marika learns of her recently deceased father, Gonzaemon, who is revealed to have been a Space Pirate. In order for her father’s ship, the Bentenmaru, to continue legal operation, Marika, Gonzaemon’s direct descendant, is chosen to become the ship’s new captain, thus beginning her life as a Space Pirate.

This is more of an initial impressions review than a proper one, but having been a fan of the anime series, I was hoping to get into the original source, which greatly expands on some details and events. Thus far, I haven't been dissappointed. In fact, some of the stuff that was omitted for time/animation reasons has really helped flesh out some of the lesser-used side/supporting characters, such as the Barbarossa's crew in V2.

For those coming in from the anime, just know that the anime had a bit of an... more>> anime-original ending that didn't happen in the novels, at least during the novels available while it was airing, though it still leads to the same place, Marika later choosing to pursue higher order piracy. Mainly, a different event occurs rather than Marika and the other pirates fighting off the Galactic Princess and her experimental ships.

A proper review will come later. <<less

After waiting to read them for years, yukamichi translated the first 3 novels, then disappeared.

I've started translating them myself (actually, 2 sources of MTL, compare, and heavily edit as needed).

I keep trying to post volumes here, but they never show up. I'll keep trying, but in the mean time, check out miniskirtpiratestranslations<dot>org

As a general review, I'm enjoying the series, which diverges significantly from the anime past volume 3. (Episodes 19 through 26 of the anime, and the movie, are anime originals). New characters, new locations, new adventures, though occasionally... more>> the plot is driven by someone being s*upid.

I've also decided that
