Return from Death (Japanese: 死に戻りの魔法学校生活を、元恋人とプロローグから(※ただし好感度はゼロ), Hepburn: Shinimodori no Mahō Gakkō Seikatsu o, Moto Koibito to Purorōgu kara (Tadashi Kōkando wa Zero)) is a Japanese light novel series written by Eiko Mutsuhana and illustrated by Yugiri Aika. It was initially serialized on the user-generated novel publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō between October 2020 and January 2021. It was later acquired by Earth Star Entertainment who released it under their Earth Star Luna light novel imprint between June 2021 and April 2022. A manga adaptation illustrated by Gin Shirakawa began serialization on Kadokawa Corporation's ComicWalker and Niconico Seiga websites in January 2022.

Plot

The story follows Oriana, a young girl living happily at a magic school, and her lover, Vincent. However, in the spring of her 17th year, they both mysteriously die simultaneously. Oriana, however, suddenly "awakens" after death; she has been reborn with memories of the future, and in this life, she vows to protect Vincent. Ten years later, Oriana returns to magic school and encounters her former lover, Vincent, again. But Vincent doesn't remember her at all. With zero affection from him, Oriana's overly affectionate behavior only earns her being seen as strange. Undeterred, Oriana continues to try to build a new relationship with him.
