Deadline
Ben Wolf has big things planned for his senior year. Had big things planned Now what he has is some very bad news and only one year left to make his mark on the world. How can a pint-sized, smart-ass seventeen-year-old do anything significant in the nowheresville of Trout, Idaho? First, Ben makes sure that no one else knows what is going on—not his superstar quarterback brother, Cody, not his parents, not his coach, no one. Next, he decides to become the best 127-pound football player Trout High has ever seen; to give his close-minded civics teacher a daily migraine; and to help the local drunk clean up his act. And then there's Dallas Suzuki. Amazingly perfect, fascinating Dallas Suzuki, who may or may not give Ben the time of day. Really, she's first on the list. Living with a secret isn't easy, though, and Ben's resolve begins to crumble . . . especially when he realizes that he isn't the only person in Trout with secrets. .

Alice on Deadlines, Vol. 4 (v. 4)
In a strange turn of events, it comes out that Lapan's first true love was Alice's own mother! Christmas Eve finds Lapan dressing the gang up in the usual parade of skimpy outfits, but the pervy party is cut short when back-to-back battles with a brainwashed Mad Hatter and the exiled shinigami controlling him get underway. With casualties on both sides, Alice uncharacteristically takes control of the situation and defeats Ume's brother, who arrives seeking revenge. Another Tsurukame member shows up to forgive both exiled shinigami and welcome them back to the (ahem) bosom of both the Chairman and the shinigami world. But what about Alice's body? And her quest for love? Does the answer really lie in Lapan's groping hands? .
