Death Note
Graphic Novel Summary: by Tsugumi Ohba & Takeshi Obata Light Yagami is the top high school student of Japan who had, until recently, led a boring and uneventful life. That changed quickly when he found a mysterious notebook with the title 'Death Note' on it, lying on the ground during the year 2003. Although initially skeptical, after realizing that the 'Death Note' is a tool with the power to kill anyone whose name is written on its pages, Light decided to use it to 'cleanse' the world of evil. Soon the many unexplainable deaths of reported criminals are noticed, and Light becomes hunted by the Japanese police force and a mysterious detective known as 'L.' L quickly discovers that the murderer the public dubs 'Kira' is located in Japan, and that he can kill just by knowing someone's face and name. Light realizes that 'L' is just as cunning, if not more intelligent than himself, and begins to see who will be the first to have his identity exposed. Rating: T+

Customer Reviews
Now this is a cool idea for a book. They have some crazy manga, but this is one I really enjoy. Kid finds a notebook that can kill anyone, anyway at any time with no implications as to who or what is doing it, but with a moral agenda? Who is the ugly demon, and what are his motives? All these questions are answered and more in this fantastic introduction for a really fun series of manga. Do yourself a favor and at least check this volume out
