Um...
if you'll read the subforums here, you'll find that there are some hardworking fans translating the series into English over at
Baka-Tsuki light novel projects website. I can read Japanese (with the handy pile of dictionaries) but I find them immensely helpful as a cross-check.
Dictionaries: Most of them "suck" in some way (not enough words) unless you start spending triple digit $$. The
Kodansha line of dictionaries is pretty durable though - especially the kanji dictionaries (they provide several methods of looking up a kanji). They all fall down with slang or jargon though (with is particular hell when dealing with science fiction or teenage sagas).
