I went to this site and it said 'No text available.' I know this is a *reeaaally* old threaad, but I found the english translation here: It's more of a short story than a whole book. Screw your opinions, they are not relevant ^^. There has been a few movie adaptations and a series I think, but no novel translations. I searched the English version but not find good result as such for this. He blamed himself for her death and wrote the story so as to make amends to her and help him accept the tragedy. Story of Grave of the Fireflies is based on the semi-autobiographic novel of the same name, whose author, Nosaka, lost his sister due to malnutrition in 1945 wartime Japan. I'm already a Studio Ghibli fan, but I was particularly inspired by that movie. Id like to read a translated version as well, but i don't think one has been made :/ Post last edited by husky51 on, 06:10 PM. Goes looking for some batteries for flash's flashlight. I will watch this thread and see if anything comes up. Ghibli has made a number of other movies and I highly recommend them as well. I personally don't know of any English translations, but others in here might. Does anyone know where I can find an English version of the book? Thus far, I've been unable to find an English version on either Amazon or Ebay, and I've heard that the French version is poorly translated. I just watched and fell in love with the movie Grave of the Fireflies and now I really want to read the book it was based on, by Akiyuki Nosaka.
