Neku wakes up in the middle of an otherworldly Shibuya teeming with monsters; he's been dragged into the Reapers' Game, and he'll need to learn to work with the other players he meets if he wants to survive the seven-day contest.

As the Reapers' Game enters the second half, each mission is tougher than the last. When a chance encounter shakes Shiki's confidence, Neku must support her and keep them alive.

Neku, Shiki, Beat, and Rhyme get a mission as the end of the Reapers' Game nears; it could be a respite before their battle with the Game Master or one last trap.

The second game begins, but the new Game Master is out for blood and Neku can't fight without a partner. A mysterious boy named Joshua could be the help Neku needs.

There are no new missions, and it's making Neku nervous; Joshua, however, has his own agenda, and he wants Neku to lend him a hand; when the pair reunite with Hanekoma, a chance remark sparks a memory in Neku.

Neku starts to remember his death, and it makes him more suspicious of Joshua; the game grinds to a halt as Taboo Noise attack Players and Reapers alike; Minamimoto is the prime suspect.
