Death Note: L Change the World is the novel adaptation of the movie by the same name, both spinoffs of the original Death Note series. This novel is entirely dedicated to L, following his last 23 days on Earth; Set in an alternative universe after the capturing and execution of Kira, a universe where L won and Kira lost. This novel adaptation is quite similar to the film, but features some major plot changes to have it fit in better with Death Note's canon. Amongst others, one of the changes made to the plot, is that Near is no longer a new character from Thailand, but rather the Near we see in the original Death Note.
