When Light Yagami finds a notebook giving him power over death, will
he use it for good--or evil?
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. With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of
his noble goal...or his life?
With two Kiras on the loose, L asks Light to join the task force and
pose as the real Kira in order to catch the copycat. L still suspects
Light and figures that this is the perfect excuse to get closer to his
quarry. Light agrees to the plan in order to have free access to the
task force resources. But when Light manages to contact the new Kira, he
discovers that his rival is anything but as expected. Will Light escape
from love unscathed?
