 Synopsis:

Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects - and bored out of his mind! But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, and notebook dropped by a rougue 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?

My Review:

This is a great and original series! In reading this one truly ponders the fine thread between an act of justice and an act of terror. I have finished collecting this series due to an event in volume 7 which I find disagreeable. The artwork is good and the characters are intriguingly peculiar.

My Grade: A+
