'''Death Note''' is a [[manga]] series written by Ohba Tsugumi and illustrated by Obata Takeshi. It was serialized in [[Weekly Shounen Jump]] magazine from December 2003 until May 2006. The series has been adapted into an anime series, three live-action films including an original story about L, three video games, a prequel novel, and as a [[Netflix]] original movie.
    
The story follows high-school student genius Yagami Light as he finds a Death Note, a notebook that can be used to a kill by writing a person's name in its pages, and he uses it to kill criminals in an attempt to cleanse the world of crime. Ryuk, a shinigami (death god), purposefully dropped the Death Note into the human realm and follows Light around for entertainment. A great detective known as L challenges "Kira" (a media-given alias to the person killing the criminals). L tries to uncover Kira's identity and Light tries to kill him before he does.
