Smokin Parade Vol 7

Unable to join the fight against the Spiders, the children of the Dome have been hitting the books instead! Now Bold Bolt's smallest members have worked out a strategy for tackling their greatest enemy. Face-to-face with the Lord for the first time, the task has never seemed more impossible, but with the kids' plan in place, there is real hope for victory! But when truth dawns with the rising sun, Bold Bolt's familial bonds will be tested like never before...

Youkou lives in a future where organ transplants are common and available to all, but life's not as idyllic as it seems--it turns out a nefarious organization is using that technology for their own evil ends! Only the elite squad Jackalope has any chance of stopping them before it's too late.

On a misguided quest to “free” humanity of its inhibitions, the head of Amenotori has initiated a Spider pandemic that threatens to destroy the world. The Jackalopes are on the scene, but as long as the president controls the magatama, he controls the fate of them all. In their final confrontation, Youkou must face both humanity’s greatest threat and the reality of his own past...Will the man or the monster prevail when the smoke of blood clears?!

Amenotori has pitted friend against friend and brother against sister, and its crimes have taken a toll on the Jackalopes, both mentally and physically. But the Shikagura were just a little white lie in the vast sea of Amenotori's sins. In the frigid north, the Jackalopes' regional base has requested backup to help confront a new enemy-one as extreme as the landscape!

When they were sent to the Jackalopes' northern base, Youkou and Kotoharu had no idea they would be confronted by the most monstrous, massive spider they'd ever encountered. The "Lord," as it has come to be known, has been terrorizing their operatives in the north, leaving countless corpses in its wake. The northerners are way of their southern support, but they will have to learn to trust each other even with their most protected secrets if they want to uncover the provenance of the Lord-and how to kill it...

Youkou finally encounters the murderous, rampaging behemoth Spider known as the "Lord" in an effort to take it down.

Under Shiba's leadership, the Jackalopes launch a surprise attack against the Amenotori Manufacturing Facility, where the Shikagura are undergoing maintenance. Every one of the Jackalopes' moves has been carefully informed by their intel network, but the Shikagura prove themselves to be even more wily than anyone anticipated! United by bonds stronger than blood, the Spiders have woven a web of crazed malice-and the Jackalopes have walked right into it!!

After their excursion up north, Youkou and the rest of Jackalope have returned to headquarters. But then Kotoharu makes himself vanish, and a plague begins to spread like wildfire...
