Story by Tsugumi Ohba, Art by Takeshi Obata
Ever wanted to have the power of a god at your fingertips? A god of Death, to be precise. This is just what happens to high school genius Light Yagami. It fell from the sky and into his life--the Death Note. The human whose name is written in this note shall die. This is the catalyst. Light decides it is his duty to cleanse this rotting world of its evil, and become its new god, by killing criminals, the wrong, the unjust. Just like that, dozens of people start to die, all from "mysterious heart attacks." There are approximately 115 rules in the Death Note. Quickly, Light gains a name for himself. Masses of people, deciding all the deaths of criminals are from some higher force, dub him "Kira" (our lord and savior). Ironically enough, it stems from the English word "killer." Not to say the entire series is about Light ruling the world, not if the great detective known as "L" has anything to say about it! Only seen as an old English L and heard through an electronic voice, L is the greatest detective in the world. So, who do you think will win? The world renowned detective or the prodigy with a supernatural notebook?
I love this series! It made me laugh, cry, and hold my breath waiting for more!
