Death Note

Death Note is a Japanese manga series written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata.

Raito(Light) Yagami is the top high school student of Japan who has until recently led a boring and uneventful life. That changed very quickly when he found a mysterious notebook with the title "Death Note" on it, lying on the ground one day in the year 2003. Although initially skeptical, after realizing that the "Death Note" is a Shinigami's tool with the power to kill anyone whose name is written on its pages, Light decided to use it to "cleanse" the world of evil.
