TOKYOPOP

Volumes seven through nine of the ground-breaking manga series collected here in one blood-soaked volume! One ninth-grade class, 42 students, marooned on an island and forced to kill or be killed in a government-sanctioned, televised game called The Program. The rules: after three days, only one student can remain alive or they all die. Weapons are handed out and each student is sent out into the field alone - unprepared for the horror that awaits them.

After seeing her friends attacked and injured, Ryubi's inner dragon is unleashed, destroying everything and everyone around her. Ryomou tries to stop Ryubi, but her power is just too strong. Upon contact, Ryubi's dragon begins to invade Ryomou's body, ultimately invading into her left eye. Finally, Kanu appears - but is it too late to stop Ryubi's attack?

Sonsaku Hakufu returns with a vengeance and takes her rightful place as head of Nanyo Academy. To draw out her natural powers, Hakufu pays Chouko a visit on top of up a mountain. He explains to Hakufu that her destiny is to defeat Sousou, and attempts to teach her the legendary Water Dragon strike. Will it be enough to defeat Sousou in his new form?

With Saji consumed by Ouin's chi, Hakufu finds herself getting pounded like she never has before. Can she reach down deep and pull the water fist out of her in time to save her neck? And even if Hakufu does survive, Sousou's power is growing... and with Koukin still in bondage, Hakufu finds it hard to focus on anything but him. But when the time comes to strap on the general's sword and lead the Nanyo army into battle, will she be ready?

All groups are heading toward the center of action. Yokohama. Roshuku, Ryomou, and Ryubi get there, but are surprised to find Kannei already waiting for them... wearing Ryofu's magatama! Will this make him invincible or will it destroy him?

In order to become stronger, Hakufu sets off in search of Master Choushou. Upon arrival at the designated shrine, she encounters a little girl who tells her she can only meet Choushou if she can bend one of three swords sticking out of a rock. After Hakufu tries for hours, the swords remain unbent, but just one more try...

Back at home and fully revived, Hakufu is now in possession of the legendary sword, the Hyakuhekitou. Armed to the hilt, Hakufu desires the title of strongest fighter, so she sets off to defeat Ukitsu, the toughest Toushi known. Meanwhile, conspiracy spreads throughout the upper echelons of Toushi-dom...

Possessed by the dragon spirit, Hakufu goes cuckoo and Ukitsu ends up on the receiving end of her wrath. When Koukin steps in to see if everyone can just get along, he gets a lot more than he bargained for: a sword through the chest!

When Hakufu meets Ryuubi, supposedly one of the most powerful girls, she discovers that Ryuubi is far from a ferocious dragon! But the action doesn't miss a beat when Hakufu is attacked by the latest wave of bathroom assassins while she diligently trains with her elder master!

Hakufu's bathroom brawl against the ever-creepy Kannei continues and just when it looks like her fighting career has gone down the toilet, Saji Genpou lends a hand... which then gets impaled. Saji kicks the crap out of Kannei and Kannei makes a run for it. As many Toushi are taken down, several new characters show up, including a female archer!

Ryomou Shimei is at the little archer girl's mercy - that is, if she HAD any mercy! The archerette grills Ryomou on Gyyokuji's whereabouts, but Ryomou's not telling... Ryomou's face - meet the archerette's vengeance! As Ryomou loses more and more blood, will she be able to muster up the strength for a counterattack?

Meet Led Salad, the latest, hottest, all-girl band in a madcap world where bands fight each other for their fans - literally! They've got it all: hot looks, left hooks, a weaponized tour bus complete with hot tub, and their first world tour. But they're also about to get stuck with a brand-new, inexperienced roadie who can barely lift their equipment, let alone protect them. Can the girls transform this total loser into a stud... Or will he turn the band into a dud?
