Where they once hit the books, ate in the cafeteria, and ran laps in the gym is over. Their new curriculum focuses on scavenging for supplies and fighting off flesh-eating fiends with improvised weapons! Between doing their best to keep themselves alive and their brains inside their skulls, the girls also have to keep themselves sane… and not all of them are succeeding.

In THE LABYRINTH OF GRISAIA, Yuji's horrific past is revealed. From a dysfunctional family controlled by a domineering sister and an abusive father, his youth was a steady descent into hell that ultimately led to a school for assassins where the only way out was murder! So when Yuji's past comes back to haunt him and he's framed for a crime that he didn't commit, there's really only one group of bad girls he can trust to have his back… and the five girl commando squad of Yumiko Sakaki, Makina Irisu, Sachi Komine, Amane Suou, and Michiru Matsushima doesn't let him down in THE EDEN OF GRISAIA!

However, since he knows that's odd for a high school student, Sado decides to join a certain club where he can beat out his masochistic tendencies. Unfortunately, that's like putting out a fire with gasoline, as the club members all have "issues" of their own, and guess who's about to become the new favorite whipping boy? Is even Sado ready for a nurse who forces other people into cosplay and a club president who believes herself to be a goddess? And if that's not complicated enough, toss in man-shy Yuno, the same girl who introduced Sado to his love of negative reinforcement, and Hayama, Sado's best friend and a compulsive cross-dresser who's also the girl that Sado is (unknowingly) infatuated with! Love is about to get really, really weird in MM!
