Oooh, me! Me! Dirty Pair has always been a favorite of mine (the OAV "Affair on Nolandia" was one of my first "real" anime, and Adam Warren's Dirty Pair stuff introduced me to manga. And the Yasuhiko drawings? Just icing on the cake*. I've never read a manga/anime-related, translated novel before, but this is cool enough to make me start.

* Big Venus Wars fan right here.

Now this is a suprise. I liked Warren's take on the franchise but other than that I've never been a fan, so unless I see great reviews I probobly won't pick it up. Still, good news to hear a classic property is getting published in English.
