Death Note

Light Yagami is an outstanding student with a promising future, but he is deeply bored. His life changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami, or death god. Anyone whose name is written in it dies, and Light decides to use its power to rid the world of evil. As criminals begin dying, the authorities call on the legendary detective L to find the person behind the deaths. With L closing in, Light faces the risk of losing either his pursuit of justice or his life.
