When Light Yagmi finds a notebook, he quickly realizes that it belongs to a Shinigami, a god of death. Whosever name he writes in the book, they will die. However, that comes with a few caveats, such as needing to know the name and face of the person he is writing about. But when he starts killing convicted criminals, the police and mysterious investigator are on to him. Now, it's a thrilling game of chess to find out who captures who in this classic tale of morality and duplicity.

I'm excited to get into this and find out what happens next!
