DEATH NOTE

Light Yagami is a brilliant high school student who is bored with his life. One day he finds a strange notebook dropped by Ryuk, a shinigami. The Death Note has a simple rule: any human whose name is written in it dies.

Light tests the notebook by writing the name of a criminal, and the criminal dies immediately. Convinced that the world is rotten, he decides to use the Death Note to kill criminals and create a perfect society free of evil. Under the pseudonym Kira, he begins a series of murders that soon attract the attention of the police.

The authorities turn to L, an eccentric and brilliant detective, to identify and stop the culprit. What follows is a battle of minds between Light, who has access to police information through his father, and L, who suspects that Kira is closer than anyone imagines.
