Fun:Death Note

Death Note is a Japanese serial manga that spanned 108 chapters, and was later adapted into three live action movies and an anime series. It was written by Tsugami Ohba, with art by Takeshi Obata.

The story revolves around a bored, genius teenager who finds the Death Note, a notebook that will kill whoever's name is written in it, barring certain conditions. The teenager, Light, decides to use the notebook to create a Utopian world, where he himself sits as God, presiding over the people he has allowed to live.

The action in Death Note focuses on the cat and mouse games between Light Yagami (Kira) and the detectives that try to stop him. In the first half of the series, pursuing Kira is brought to you by the letter L, while in the second half of the series, it is done by L's successors, Near and Mello.

Death Note has sparked both moral debate and controversy worldwide. It is banned in China. In America, students have been both suspended and expelled for possessing mock Death Notes with the names of fellow students and teachers written inside.
