I remember with fondness watching the 2 episode anime Dragon Half, which I'm
lead to believe is based on a long running manga which parodies tropes in
manga and anime.

Was the manga every translated to English, or were there ever any more
episodes made of the anime?

Was the Dragon Half manga ever translated?


The seven-volume Dragon Half manga was never licensed or officially localized
in English. The OVA only consisted of two episodes (previously by [ADV
Films](http://www.mania.com/dragon-half_article_74723.html), now currently by
[DiscoTek Media](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-11-10/discotek-
adds-dna2-1st-lupin-iii-tv-special-dragon-half-ova-fatal-fury-specials)).
Those two episodes persist as the only animated versions of the series.

It depends. Based on Krazer's answer, the series has never been officially
translated, but unofficially it has been scanslated online and can be read at
many manga reading sites. So, yes and no, it has been and has not been
translated. A group of volunteers, who earn no profit, did work on it, but
professional manga producers did not work on it for distribution.

The manga had not previously been licensed for English release, but it was
fully translated by fans years ago. Now, in 2017, Seven Seas Entertainment has
licensed the manga and will release all 7 volumes in a 3-volume omnibus
edition, with the first one coming out this December.
