Death Note is a gripping psychological thriller that follows the story of Light Yagami, a brilliant high school student who stumbles upon a mysterious notebook called the “Death Note.” This notebook, dropped by a shinigami (death god) named Ryuk, grants its user the power to kill anyone whose name is written in it, as long as the user knows the person’s face.
Light, disillusioned with the world’s rampant crime, decides to use the Death Note to eliminate criminals and create a utopian society free of evil. He adopts the alias “Kira” and begins his crusade, which quickly attracts the attention of law enforcement agencies worldwide. The enigmatic and highly skilled detective known only as “L” is tasked with capturing Kira, leading to an intense cat-and-mouse game between the two geniuses.
As Light’s actions become more extreme, the moral and ethical implications of his quest come into sharp focus, raising questions about justice, power, and the nature of good and evil.
