i bought the R1 first volume with box. i see theres 5 episodes on this disc, and roughly 15 in the series, but the box looks like it holds more than 4 discs... more like 6. so anyone know the story on this? is there a book or something to come with the last volume? another following series? cant figure it out.
whilst we are at it, opinions on the show if anyone else is watching it. thanks for your help.
