Product Description

All or nothing!
 
With Ayana and Hayate blazing up the ranks of the Hoshitori, it's only a matter of time before they meet their match. Too bad their match is in the form of Ayana's lovestruck roommate Kuga Jun and her desperately powerful sister-in-arms Shizuma Yuho.
 
Could this spell the end of Ayana and Hayate's unstoppable winning streak and their first taste of defeat? Or can our heroines somehow prevail against a pair of opponents with whom they are so evenly matched?
 
One thing is certain... Ayana and Jun's friendship will never be the same again.

Getting Better with each volume5
As a long time fan of Shizuru Hayashiya, I have been following this series since it came out in Japan. I was ecstatic to learn that it was being translated for the western market.

Now that it's here, I cannot stop talking about it. The reproduction is excellent, the localization, as well and of course the characters are all fabulous.

This is a story that combines action, comedy, drama and is even a little bit romantic at times, without being tedious in every way. Volume 3 is particularly excellent. I can't wait for you all to meet some of the future characters!

You Go Girls!5
Readers will be shocked just as the author is shocked that this series has made it to the third volume, with a fourth volume promised to come out in a few months. The school with swordfighting as its main extracurricular activity just continues to impress.

Briefly, the story centers around the main character Kuro and Ayana as they face their toughest opponents yet, Ayana's roommate. Unfortunately, this one ends in a cliffhanger but it is worth it.

This entry features the same as the rest, hilarious commentary by the organizer of the activity (and guess what, she shall participate in the next novel!), hilarious dialogue between characters, and intense/beautifully drawn action sequences.

Definitely if one liked the other ones then get this one and for anyone who is a newcomer, you can easily be caught up in this one, so this is a fairly good starting point for the series too!
