Light Yagami is an ace student with great
prospects--and he's bored out of his mind. But
all that changes when he finds the Death Note,
a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami
death god. Any human whose name is written
in the notebook dies, and now Light has
vowed to use the power of the Death Note to
rid the world of evil. But when criminals begin
dropping dead, the authorities send the
legendary detective L to track down the killer.
