Warner Bros. Japan handled the home video releases for the Prison School anime series with six singles that came out ending in early 2016 and now they’re looking at a complete collection. The new set will arrive on November 8th, 2017 priced at 18,000 yen as it brings together the twelve-episode series. With the Blu-ray singles running 7,000 yen each over six discs previously, this is definitely a good deal.
