As fate would have it, the one fortunate enough to pick up the Death Note is none other than Light Yagami, a high school genius. A bored and curious Light decides to check the authenticity of the notebook by putting in a criminal’s name. With the immediate death of the particular criminal, Light comes to the realization of just what a powerful and dangerous weapon he wields.
