Immortal Beauty

So, every once in a while when I remember about it, I spend a couple hours trying to find some stuff on the internet about this one novel that sounds incredibly interesting but also completely impossible to read, as no one else seems to care and it's in Japanese.

But! I will try here, for more info. =)

Ao no Kiseki (which apparently translates to Locus of Blue?) is a science fiction yaoi novel written by Kinoh Chiaki that was illustrated by Mamiya Oki. Basically all the information I have about this novel is here: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~weyrbrat/fanfic/anime/blue/

I fell in love with the drawings of the main characters, which a friend had showed me, then looked up the origins and decided that the story sounded really nifty too. Unfortunately, all the info I have about it is very... vague.

Does anyone have definitive answers to the following:

Has the novel been translated, either officially or from a fan group? (I'm assuming no. Novels are much harder to translate than manga, just based on the massive difference in text amounts.)

There's a radio drama of it that has been released. Has this been translated or transcribed?

People keep referring to Locus of Blue/Ao no Kiseki as a manga, and crediting it to Mamiya Oki. Is there a manga version of this that I somehow haven't heard of, or something?

It's not completely unpopular on english-speaking sites, and does get mention, which gives me the impression that someone, somewhere, has managed to read the story. How, and how can I do the same?


Sorry for just kinda barging in on your community to ask you questions like this, heh, but I've been trying to find out about this off and on for... (holy fuck) almost four years now, I guess, and anything you guys might know about it would be greatly appreciated. =)

Thanks in advance. (Also, it looks really cool and if it is somehow available in an English version, is definitely worth checking out.)
