Death Note is an amazing and unique Japanese anime series that
everyone, both teenage or older guys and girls, will enjoy. It
introduced many new ideas that I did not previously read about or
even imagined. It is based on the manga, which is also entitled
Death Note, by Tsugumi Ohba. It is Tsugumi Ohba's only work, and it
is also suspected that Ohba is a pen name for another mangaka.
Also, there is an English translation that is being aired slowly.
I recommend Death Note to everyone who likes a mystery.
Shinigami Ryuk is a death god and he owns a notebook called 'Death
Note', which is his killing device. Anyone's whose name is written
down in the death note dies within forty seconds.
One day Shinigami Ryuk was bored and decided to drop the death note
in the human world, where it was discovered by Light, a high school
honour student.
Light is thrilled that he has the power to kill people without
touching them and discreetly. He plans to create a completely new
world: an ideal world free from criminals.
The governments of countries around the world start to notice the
unusual number of deaths among criminals, and think that someone is
behind it. That is when L is hired, a master detective that is do
find the secret killer. Will Light get caught? Or will Light
outsmart the best detective in the world, L?
