Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects
- & 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 & 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. With L hot on his heels will Light lose sight of his noble goal
or his life? After a week locked up with no one but Ryuk for company Light is ready to give up his Death Note & all memories of it. Freed from his past actions Light is convinced he's innocent. But L is ready to keep Light under lock & key forever especially since the killings stopped once Light was incarcerated. Then a new wave of Kira crimes hits Japan. Someone else has gotten their hands on a Death Note & these new deaths aren't focussed on making the world a better place they're focussed on making money. Big business can be murder & Kira has gone corporate!
