A battle of wits between a high school student and a mysterious detective known as "L" where the student looks to cleanse the world of evil criminals with the help of a supernatural notebook while the detective wants to stop all these killings of criminals.
After the smart and brilliant Light Yagami discovers this book, he soon realizes it has a secret power. He looks like an average, top of the class student. But in reality he's way more than that. In his eyes, he's a god, the savior of the earth and will kill anyone who will get in the way.
Light Yagami, after finding a book that kills people whose names are written in it, developps a God complex. His own father being the chef of Tokyo police, he fights against the world's best detective, L, to bring the world to his own idea of utopia.—Pel Par
Brutal murders, petty thefts, and senseless violence pollute the human world. In contrast, the realm of death gods is a humdrum, unchanging gambling den. The ingenious 17-year-old Japanese student Light Yagami and sadistic god of death Ryuk share one belief: their worlds are rotten.
For his own amusement, Ryuk drops his Death Note into the human world. Light stumbles upon it, deeming the first of its rules ridiculous: the human whose name is written in this note shall die. However, the temptation is too great, and Light experiments by writing a felon's name, which disturbingly enacts his first murder.
Aware of the terrifying godlike power that has fallen into his hands, Light-under the alias Kira-follows his wicked sense of justice with the ultimate goal of cleansing the world of all evil-doers. The meticulous mastermind detective L is already on his trail, but as Light's brilliance rivals L's, the grand chase for Kira turns into an intense battle of wits that can only end when one of them is dead.
Ryuk, a god of death, drops his Death Note into the human world for personal pleasure. In Japan, prodigious high school student Light Yagami stumbles upon it. Inside the notebook, he finds a chilling message: those whose names are written in it shall die. Its nonsensical nature amuses Light; but when he tests its power by writing the name of a criminal in it, they suddenly meet their demise.
Realizing the Death Note's vast potential, Light commences a series of nefarious murders under the pseudonym "Kira," vowing to cleanse the world of corrupt individuals and create a perfect society where crime ceases to exist. However, the police quickly catch on, and they enlist the help of L-a mastermind detective-to uncover the culprit.
Death Note tells the thrilling tale of Light and L as they clash in a great battle-of-minds, one that will determine the future of the world.
