Summary
After Light dies, he awakens several years before the Kira era begins — and he's furious with Mikami for screwing everything up with his mistake. Sadly, he's powerless to act until Ryuk drops the Death Note into the human world again, which leaves him with plenty of time to reflect.

Summary
After Light's death, a bored and strangely lonely Ryuk is given a chance to do it all over again. He drops the Death Note, determined to make his favourite human's lifespan last a little longer this time. It's just for the entertainment, of course.
However, Ryuk didn't expect to find a Light Yagami whose smiles were genuine and whose company was a quiet comfort. Now, the Death God, who thought he was just prolonging a game, finds himself utterly, hopelessly devoted to a boy who has no memory of their past. And Light, for his part, can't explain the warm, safe feeling he gets whenever his Shinigami is near.

Summary
Death was surprisingly temporary. Reborn as his own terminally ill little brother, Light—now Aki—has a unique second chance. He remembers every misstep, every near-miss, every fatal error that led to his downfall.
However, as he settles into his new life—the doting mother and father, the cheerful sister and the surprisingly affectionate older brother who is him—his plans begin to blur. Does he take the notebook? Does he guide Light? Or does he, for the first time, simply choose to live?

Summary
Light Yagami once believed he was justice. He killed criminals, enemies, friends, anyone who stood in the way of his perfect world.
When Ryuk finally writes his name in the Death Note, Light accepts it as the inevitable end of a monster.
But death is not the end.
Light wakes up before Kira ever existed, with a chance to change everything.
