Plot

Light Yagami is a brilliant and cynical 17 year old student. His life bores him and the world, with his injustice, disgusts him deeply. Ryuk is a god of death, who like all his 'colleagues' has led an empty and bored existence since time immemorial. In search of distractions, Ryuk decides to abandon his Death Note in the world of men, apparently a simple notepad, but with tremendous power, because writing a person's name in the Notebook means decreeing their death. After having found the Death Note by chance, and having understood its potential, Light decides to use it to change the world, while Ryuk observes it amused.
