Loosely inspired by Hal Clement's novel Needle, 7 Billion Needles follows the life of a teenage girl whose life is dramatically changed when her body is possessed by an alien life form caught up in an intergalactic manhunt. As strange as "normal" might seem to her now, "happy days" are much more welcomed than the surreal days Hikaru experienced with Celistial. Having wasted Maelstrom in battle, she has been freed from the voices and is moving on with her life. But not only is Maelstrom still around and possibly more determined than ever to defeat Celestial, but Celestial has been in her blood all along!

Created as an homage to Hal Clement's science-fiction classic Needle, 7 Billion Needles re-invents the sci-fi manga genre by mixing whodunit mystery with a very youthful cast of teenage girls. Hikaru is a strong-willed and self-reliant teenage girl, who does not shy away from danger or responsibility.

In this final volume, she must build up her courage to save mankind from annihilation at the hands of a highly-evolved alien race.
