Story
Yagami Light, an ordinary university student who aspires to be a civil servant, lives with his detective father, Soichiro, and younger sister, Sayu. Besides going for live performances by Ichigo Berry, which Amane Misa belongs to, he works hard at his studies and part-time job. One day, he sees Sakoda, a classmate from high school days who was sent to a juvenile corrective institution, show up and extort his good friend, Kamoda. Light tries to stop Sakoda, but ends up having his mobile phone taken away. On the way home, Light picks up a mysterious notebook with the words “Death Note” written on it by chance. “The person whose name is written in this notebook will die,” is written inside. Light laughs this off and jots Sakoda’s name down as a joke. But the next morning, Sakoda death is reported. Many people are delighted with Sakoda’s death. Light even succeeds in killing the vicious criminal who snatched a police officer’s gun and took his father hostage while out on parole. Once Light realises the power of the weapon he has in his hands, he decides to reduce the number of criminals and create a peaceful world. He starts to pass judgement on bad people who threaten peaceful daily life with the Death Note and is gradually worshiped on the internet as the hero called “Killer” by the public. However, the world famous detective, L, appears before Light. The mysterious L had noticed the time that a rash of mysterious deaths occurred in the world was skewed towards Japan. He says Killer is bad and declares that he will catch him. Which is justice and which is evil? Who will die and who will survive? A battle of wits are waged by the two geniuses and N watches this with a defiant smile. A new battle finally begins … …
