I still get a little giddy talking about this series, so here’s how I’d organize reading the limited-release material for 'First Love Limited' so it actually feels smooth and fun. Start with the main story in publication order — that usually means read the collected manga volumes from volume 1 onward. The core narrative and character beats are arranged as they were released, and that gives you the natural development of jokes, callbacks, and relationship threads.
Once you’ve read each regular volume, slot the limited extras that correspond to that volume right after it: bonus chapters, omakes, and any short side stories that were bundled as limited-run goodies. These extras are often written with the assumption you’ve seen the main chapters up to that point, so reading them immediately after the related volume keeps things fresh. If you find drama CDs or short animated extras tied to specific chapters, treat those like OVAs — watch or listen after the volume or episode they reference.
For the anime adaptation and any OVAs, my usual approach is to read the manga first and then watch the anime, treating OVAs as extra treats after the TV episodes they’re associated with. Collector’s artbooks, visual books, and creator interviews? I like to leave those until I’ve finished everything else — they’re great for deep dives and spoilery commentary. If you’re tracking down rare limited editions, prioritize scans or official reprints to avoid missing content, and be wary that some bonuses are non-canonical gag material. Personally, I read the main volumes, then pause to enjoy the extras related to each volume, and only dig into artbooks or drama CDs after the whole run — it keeps the pacing balanced and the surprises intact.
