Will Light Yagami utilise the ability to control death he discovers in a notebook for good or evil? Light Yagami is an excellent student with promising future, but he is also incredibly bored. But when he discovers the Death Note, a book left behind by a mischievous Shinigami death god, everything changes. Light has promised to utilise the power of the Death Note to purge the world of evil since everybody whose name is inscribed in the notebook perishes. But when criminals start dying, the police send the renowned detective L to find the murderer. Will Light lose sight of his admirable objective?or his life?with L close behind him? Although they've collected plenty of evidence tying the seven Yotsuba members to the newest Kira, Light, L and the rest of the task force are no closer to discovering which one actually possesses the Death Note. Desperate for some headway, L recruits Misa to infiltrate the group and feed them information calculated to bring Kira into the open. But the Shinigami Rem reveals to Misa who the Kiras really are, and, armed with this knowledge, Misa will do anything to help Light. But what will that mean for L...?
