PLOT SUMMARY
The series is about Light Yagami, a young man. His life undergoes a drastic
change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the "Death
Note", lying on the ground. The Death Note's instructions claim that if a
person's name is written within it while picturing that person's face, that
person shall die. Light is initially skeptical of the notebook's authenticity, but
after experimenting with it, he realizes that the Death Note is real. After
meeting with the previous owner of the Death Note, a shinigami named
Ryuk, Light seeks to become "god of the New World" by passings his
judgment on those he deems to be evil or who get in his way.

After months of killing criminals, Light is dubbed Kira by the public and
some believe him to be righteous about killing criminals. Interpol is no closer
to catching him, and is going to pass the case on to the Ministry of Health as
some disease, until "L" steps on the scene. Known as the best detective in the
world, L has solved many cases with his assistant Watari. Working with
them, L manages to confront Light, live on TV, and deduces he is in the
Kanto region of Japan and he can "kill without lifting a finger". The race
begins between L and Light to discover each other's identity, and a game of
cat and mouse ensues between the two geniuses.
