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?
Light tests the boundaries of the Death Note's powers as L and the police begin to close in. Luckily Light's father is the head of the Japanese National Police Agency and leaves vital information about the case lying around the house. With access to his father's files, Light can keep one step ahead of the authorities. But who is the strange man following him, and how can Light guard against enemies whose names he doesn't know?

My favorite anime, and I love the manga.
This book was very good with very descriptive moments but the anime was my favorite thing about this

I feel like a good when I read this manga
I have read all 12 books of this series and I think it was very succsesful! I liked the story line and still read it over and over again! The story is a little...um...dark, but it's just interesting. It's one of those manga that has a lot words and you HAVE to read word for word or you will get lost. It's word heavy, but cool. Still love it and very much enjoy Tsugumi's and Takeshi's work! (I also LOVE their series BAKUMAN!!!)
