As Amenotori’s fabricated Spider pandemic grips the globe, the Jackalopes focus on the very heart of the organization.

Unable to join the fight against the Spiders, the children of the Dome have been hitting the books instead!

After the Shikagura's deadly attack, the Jackalopes are more driven than ever to flush out the Spiders. The horror of seeing normal humans transformed into monsters is made even more terrible when those people were once friends and loved ones. For Youkou, it is his sister. For Akuta, a friend. And for Midari, now held captive and being tortured by a young boy she once hoped to save, fate has perhaps the cruelest lesson of all...

Dealing with life and death can be heavy business, from witnessing the power of emotional attachment, working with local law enforcement, to questioning whether animals have souls, Sakurai definitely seems to have his work cut out for him…
