Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects - and he's bored out of his mind.
Big business can be murder, and Kira has gone corporate!.
Someone else has gotten their hands on a Death Note, and these new deaths aren't focussed on making the world a better place, they're focussed on making money.
Then a new wave of Kira crimes hits Japan.
But L is ready to keep Light under lock and key forever, especially since the killings stopped once Light was incarcerated.
Freed from his past actions, Light is convinced he's innocent.
With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of his noble goal...or his life? After a week locked up with no one but Ryuk for company, Light is ready to give up his Death Note and all memories of it.
But when criminals begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer.
Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Noteto rid the world of evil.
But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami Death god.
