"Part mystery and psychological thriller, part social commentary; this is some pretty heavy stuff"
This has got to be the
best manga that I've ever read ^^
SYNOPSIS:Yagami Light is a young but bright high school student who has until recently led a boring and uneventful life. That changed very quickly when he found a strange notebook with the title "Death Note" lying on the ground one day. It wasn't until later that he realized that this "Death Note" was the tool of a shinigami (god of death in Japanese) from another world named Ryuk, and that it had the power to kill whoever's name was written on its pages, so long as the writer knew the victim's face as well. Light realises his ability to kill whomever he wishes, and he uses it to begin a "cleansing" of the world from evil. It does not take the police long to realise that somebody is responsible for the mysterious deaths of criminals, and he is then soon hunted by the Japanese police force and a mysterious detective known as "L". So as Light works towards his "perfect" world, devoid of crime and injustice (and with him as leader), L works to catch the mysterious murderer, dubbed "Kira" by the press and end the increasingly senseless deaths of criminals and anyone who gets too close to the truth. L and Light soon begin a cat and mouse chase to see who will be the first to have their personalities exposed...

DEATH NOTE (Written) RULES:- The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
- This note will not take effect unless the writer has the subject's face in their mind when writing his/her
name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
- If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the subject's name, it will happen.
- If the cause of death is not specified, the subject will simply die of a heart attack.
- After writing the cause of death, the details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40
seconds.

Yeah, I got this book when I went to Borders. They had a buy 4 get 1 free deal on manga, so I chose this as my free one cuz my friend kept bugging me to read it.
But yeah, it's really good, and I've only read one volume so far =/

i think (in my opinion) it got boring after the original L died.... it was so much more intense.... M and N arent as exciting... or maybe the story itself??? i onno.. the "L vs Kira"s .. freakin tight
