WHO CAN TOUCH THE UNTOUCHABLE QUEEN? Satellizer has beaten every upperclassman Pandora who’s fought her, but the opponents keep coming. The Third Years of Genetics Academy won’t let a slight by a mere Second Year go unpunished. It doesn’t matter to them that the world is in danger—taking Satellizer down is more important. But there’s one rival that Satellizer isn’t prepared for. Rana Linchen, a new, ambitious Pandora from Tibet, is convinced that Kazuya is her soul mate, and won’t rest until Kazuya leaves Satellizer and becomes her Limiter!

THE ULTRA-VIOLENT AND SEXY MANGA SERIES THAT SPAWNED MULTIPLE HIT ANIME! Extra-dimensional beings known as the Nova have invaded our garden world, hellbent on wiping humanity off the face of the planet. The only hope is a specialized force of genetically-engineered female Pandora and their male partners known as Limiters, who represent the last line of defense against a monstrous foe. Kazuya Aoi is a teenager Limiter who enrolls in the prestigious West Genetics Academy. Having made a promise to his fallen Pandora sister, Kazuya must overcome his grief and become the best he can be. Enter second-year student Satellizer el Bridget, a frigidly beautiful and ruthless Pandora who has never lost a battle simulation. Can Kazuya pierce through her icy exterior and win her trust? More importantly, can he ready himself for an impending war?

HOLIDAY GONE HAYWIRE After a hard-won battle, Kazuya and Satellizer are ready for a break—and what better place than the El Bridget family’s resort in Bali! But what should be a relaxing (and romantic!) vacation soon takes a dark turn when Luis, Satellizer’s abusive estranged half-brother, makes a surprise appearance. Luis is a Limiter now, and seems like a changed man—but an obsession as twisted as his doesn’t disappear so easily. How can an ordinary guy like Kazuya navigate this powerful family’s dark secret?

THE BATTLE FOR EARTH BEGINS! The fierce infighting between Satellizer and the third year students of Genetics Academy has come to an uneasy truce, but for the Pandora, peace is never a lasting proposition. A new Nova threat has appeared, with powers and abilities that even the top Pandora have never seen before. When the enemy infiltrates the Academy itself, can the young Pandora and Limiters save themselves and defend their school from total destruction?

PARTY AT THE EDGE OF THE APOCALYPSE! The Pandora are still recovering from the most recent Nova clash. To help them relax, Chevalier hosts an extravagant banquet. While some find it hard to celebrate, Kazuya uses the downtime as a chance to repair his relationship with Satellizer. Will the two reconcile before a new threat emerges?

To preserve tissue by freezing is an ancient concept going back pre sumably to the practice of ice-age hunters. At first glance, it seems as simple as it is attractive: the dynamics of life are frozen in, nothing is added and nothing withdrawn except thermal energy. Thus, the result should be more life-like than after poisoning, tan ning and drying a living cell as we may rudely call the conventional preparation of specimens for electron microscopy. Countless mishaps, however, have taught electron microscopists that cryotechniques too are neither simple nor necessarily more life-like in their outcome. Not too long ago, experts in cryotechniques strictly denied that a cell could truly be vitrified, i.e. that all the solutes and macro molecules could be fixed within non-crystalline, glass-like solid water without the dramatic shifts and segregation effects caused by crystallization. We now know that vitrification is indeed pos sible. Growing insight into the fundamentals of the physics of water and ice, as well as increasing experience of how to cool cells rapidly enough have enlivened the interest in cryofixation and pro duced a wealth of successful applications.

TAKING IT TO THE LIMIT! When enemies attack a Pandora stronghold, Satellizer is driven into a corner as she tries to fight them off. In order to save her, Kazuya must risk his life to perform one final Freezing...
