An Introduction to Death Note

An Introduction to Death Note:

Death Note is a critically acclaimed Japanese manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and published by Shueisha Inc. first released in December 2003 as a serialized magazine.

A high school student named Light Yagami stumbles upon a notebook from a God of Death named Ryuk, which has the power to kill anyone by writing people’s names on it. With this, Light decides to create ‘a new world’ that is free of evil.

Death Note has since received various adaptations and novelizations, such as the animation adaptation by Madhouse—directed by Tetsuro Araki—the 2015 TV drama, multiple live–action movies, spin–off novels, and a musical adaptation.
