without going into legally questionable grounds such as scanlations, this is your only english translation.

even then Japanese to English is not an exact thing and how close the *"english translation to the original"* is subjective since some people will say the use of senpai/kohai as opposed to senior/junior or retaining honorifics like -chan, -kun and -san is closer to the original
