Shinigami own notebooks called Death Note which are used as killing devices. Whoever's name they write down in a death note will die within 40 seconds. Shinigami Ryuku accidentally dropped his Death Note in the human world where it's found by honor high school student Raito. With the death note actually having directions in it for its use, Raito discovers he now has the power to discreetly kill people, and with this new power he plans to change the world in his ideal world by killing off criminals. Eventually the governments of the countries around the world notice the unusual amounts of deaths of their criminals, and figure out someone is behind them, but they have no way of discovering it themselves. That's when they hire L, a master detective, to find out who is behind the murders.
I've been hearing about this for months, so naturally I had to go check it out. It's a very original storyline with excellent art. I'm gonna add it to my collection and I recommend you do the same.

Death Note has become my newest obsession. 3nodding The plot is so over my head, but that's what I like about it. It's refreshing to (for once) not be able to predict what's going to happen in a manga. sweatdrop
I love how L holds the cell phone in vol. 2. He is a real piece of work, to the point where it's quite endearing.

Over here, we have the original Japanese manga of it.
I'm thinking of buying it like this then start translating to get my Japanese better.
