DEATH NOTE

Brilliant but bored high school student Light Yagami suddenly finds himself holding the power of life and death in his hands.

While the world's criminals continue to drop dead, L meets by computer with representatives from various nations.

Ryuk, the Shinigami, or god of death, who dropped the Death Note into the human world, warns Light that someone is on his trail.

Light--now known to the world as Kira--tests the Death Note to understand the scope of its powers by killing off six convicts in various ways...

Soichiro Yagami demands to meet with L in person when he finds out that L has secretly brought FBI agents into Japan.

Light meets a woman at the Police Department with an urgent message for the Kira task force.

Light uses the Death Note to try to get rid of the woman who could get him captured, and is shocked when it doesn't work.

L insists on setting up bugs and cameras in the homes of Chief Yagami and Deputy Director Kitamura...

The murders continue, and L grows suspicious of Light's too-perfect behavior and decides to investigate him on his own.

L's suspicion of Light deepens, compelling him to invite Light into the investigation.
