Light tests the boundaries of the Death Note''s powers as L and the police begin to close in. Luckily Light''s father is the head of the Japanese National Police Agency and leaves vital information about the case lying around the house. With access to his father''s files, Light can keep one step ahead of the authorities. But who is the strange man following him, and how can Light guard against enemies whose names he doesn''t know? -- VIZ Media

Light has always been confident in his ability to outthink everyone, but L''s protégés are proving to be more of a challenge than he anticipated. The more Light mentally maneuvers, the tighter the net around him becomes. And now Near and Mello are working to break the task force apart and expose Kira from within! Light has always held up under pressure in the past, but will the stress of this new line of attack and the strain of maintaining three different personalities be the beginning of his end? -- VIZ Media

With Near openly suspecting the new L of being Kira and sowing doubt in the hearts of the task force members, Light is once again forced to pass the Death Note on to another to take the heat off himself. But this time, Kira chooses a disciple from among his true believers. With no way to contact his successor directly, Light must rely on his faithful follower''s adherence to Kira''s goals. Will this newest move bring Light''s ideal world closer to reality? Or will losing control of the Death Note spell Light''s doom? -- VIZ Media

After a high-speed chase, Light and the task force apprehend the newest Kira. Light regains his Death Note and his memories, and the depths of his cunning are revealed as the plans he carefully put in place before going into confinement are slowly unveiled. His masterful manipulation of both humans and Shinigami lead him to the strongest position he''s yet enjoyed. But the glow of his victory is marred when a new threat appears. Can Light withstand a surprise attack on two fronts? -- VIZ Media

After a week locked up with no one but Ryuk for company, Light is ready to give up his Death Note and all memories of it. Freed from his past actions, Light is convinced he''s innocent. But L is ready to keep Light under lock and key forever, especially since the killings stopped once Light was incarcerated. Then a new wave of Kira crimes hits Japan. Someone else has gotten their hands on a Death Note, and these new deaths aren''t focused on making the world a better place, they''re focused on making money. Big business can be murder, and Kira has gone corporate! -- VIZ Media

Light--working as Kira, the newest member of the NPA intelligence bureau, and L--has nearly succeeded in creating his ideal world. But the years of uncontested victory have made him complacent, and he is unprepared for a new attack close to home. With his younger sister Sayu kidnapped and the NPA''s Death Note demanded as ransom, Light must travel across the world and confront two new adversaries, each with a very different agenda. Will Light''s quick wits be a match for this new challenge, or will he be forced to choose between Kira''s ambitions and his own family''s lives? -- VIZ Media

Although they''ve collected plenty of evidence tying the seven Yotsuba members to the newest Kira, Light, L and the rest of the task force are no closer to discovering which one actually possesses the Death Note. Desperate for some headway, L recruits Misa to infiltrate the group and feed them information calculated to bring Kira into the open. But the Shinigami Rem reveals to Misa who the Kiras really are, and, armed with this knowledge, Misa will do anything to help Light. But what will that mean for L...? -- VIZ Media

Light thinks he''s put an end to his troubles with the FBI--by using the Death Note to kill off the FBI agents working the case in Japan! But one of the agents has a fiancée who used to work in the Bureau, and now she''s uncovered information that could lead to Light''s capture. To make matters worse, L has emerged from the shadows to work directly with the task force headed by Light''s father. With people pursuing him from every direction, will Light get caught in the conflux? -- VIZ Media
