Terminator 3 manga by Ark Performance

So I picked up a copy of the Terminator 3 (as in "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines") manga adaptation by Ark Performance (joint pseudonym for Kenji Mitsuyoshi and Takashi Ishikawa) on a whim, today.

Looking through it, it's surprisingly different from the movie, deviating at a lot of places. The fight between Arnold and the Terminatrix at the end is completely different, for example. The art is quite nice in your standard run of the mill manga sort of way.

I've been considering translating it, but before I invest all my spare time in that endeavour, I'd first like to know if its ever been translated before (either officially or unofficially). I couldn't find anything using Google, but I thought I'd ask the question, anyway. I know there was an official comic book adaptation released in the US, but I couldn't find anything about that through Google, either.

So anybody know if this has ever been released in English before? Otherwise, I've got some work to do.
