Panty-thieving! Murderous cats! A villainous, self-proclaimed shibito king with a taste for bones and marriage! All this and Ume popping up in the unlikeliest of places in his quest for love! Beleaguered, beskeletoned Alice and shinigami Lapan face off against lecherous foes that give even our resident perverted shinigami a run for his money. Some days it just doesn't pay to be a girl trapped in the body of a skeleton. . .

As punishment for slacking on the job, the shinigami Lapan is ordered to go to the Human Realm in the body of a skeleton to retrieve a wandering soul. However, much to Lapan's lecherous delight, a slip-up lands his soul in the body of the young Alice, a buxom student at a local all-girls' school. With the skirt-chasing shinigami (as Alice) leaving a storm of sexual harassment allegations in his wake, whatever is poor, beskeletoned Alice to do?!

The lives of professors and students, deans and presidents, their ideas and idiosyncrasies, their triumphs and failures, provide the driving force of Waite's narrative. Avoiding the details of financing, curriculum, and administration that sometimes dominate institutional histories, Waite focuses on the men and women who were the blood of the university and who established its traditions and ethos. Halifax in peace and war is basic to Dalhousie's history, as is its relations with other colleges and universities in Nova Scotia. Waite sets all this out, placing Dalhousie's development within the larger Nova Scotian context.

Siblings! Brainwashing! True love?! It's Christmas Eve, but Lapan has nothing saintly in mind for Alice and company! When back-to-back battles cut his pervy party short and members of Tsurukame descend upon the scene, will Lapan finally repent his skirt-chasing ways? And as Alice tries to come to grips with a revelation about Lapan's past, will she be able to break out of her shell (with the help of Lapan's groping hands)? Find out in the exciting conclusion of Alice on Deadlines 4!
