I’m pretty sure the second season is just “GIRLS ¬Éu¬É¬â¬É{¬Å[ Second Season.” Just like the first season is “GIRLS ¬Éu¬É¬â¬É{¬Å[ First Season.” It’s really just one 24-episode series, divided into 2 seperate 12-episode “seasons.” If the second season is released in the same manner as the first, it should release as 4, 2, 4, 2. That is, the first DVD boxset has eight episodes on four discs. The second set will have no box, but it will have a figure and some extras. The two discs from the second set will fit in the first box, and then all 12 episodes from the first season will be in the first box. The same should happen for the second season. Each of the four boxes comes with a figure and the figures to together to look like a certian picture. That can be seen here:

The manga illustration is the DVD box art. I doubt the R1s will get that box, or the figures. Also note that this series was censored by Fuji TV, so the fansubs that you have been watching are all censored. The DVD release by Kodakawa will be uncensored. No added steam, and all the edited scenes will be there. Here’s and add for the DVD release. Don’t remember some of these scenes? Oh, that’s right, they weren’t on TV!
