Do we know if we're reading all three volumes or just volume 1?

I think the nomination was only for the Volume 1 but, if anyone happens to read the others too, I don't see why they should not be discussed as well.Originally Posted by OrphanPip

Me too. It sure isn't like the movie. Copious quantities of violent rape, anyone?
Best ice breaker ever, "Hey guys! How 'bout that rape, eh?"
