death note anime
A shinigami is the god of death, who can kill anyone provided he sees his victim's face and writes the name of his victim in a notebook called the Death Note.
One day, Ryuk, bored with the shinigami lifestyle, longs to know how a human would use a Death Note, to drop one in the human world.
Genius high school student Light Yagami finds the Death Note, after seeing the instructions on it and since he is already desperate with the situation of the world, he tests the Killer Note by writing the name of a criminal in it.
When the criminal dies right after experiencing the Death Note, Light is greatly surprised, and soon realizes how devastating the power that has fallen into his hands is.
With this ability that makes him a god, Light decides to kill all criminals in order to build a new world where crime does not exist, and people worship him as a god.
Shortly thereafter, the police find out that he is a serial killer who targets criminals, and thus, they try to catch him.
To do this, the Japanese detectives rely on the help of the best detective in the world, an eccentric young man known only as L.
