In the second volume of The Limit, Mizuki has found herself in a position where her not only her social life is at risk, but her survival rests in the hands of the young women she was so desperately attempting to avoid. In the wild the strong survive, and while Alisa may not be smart or cute, she is physically strong. So she immediately takes command by gathering anything that may be used as a weapon to threaten the lives of anyone who may attempt to usurp her new found authority.

  • Definitely Strobe Edge!!! I have been buying the Sailor Moon manga so the box set isn’t really worth it…

  • I’ll pick up Bunny Drop 7, Kimi ni todoke 15, Strobe Edge 1, We were there 15, Oresama Teacher 11, Mission of Love 1. It’s too bad that I collected Ouran High and Sailor Moon by volume!

    • Yes. The box sets would be nice to have. I’m glad you’re checking out the new series – would love to hear how you like them!
