"Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects- and he's bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. But when criminals begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer. With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of his noble goal... or his life?"

My Rating: 4/5

I'd heard so many things about this anime as well as this manga and I have a funny feeling that I watched the first episode when I was like 12 and babysitting at night for the first time. As someone who is a scaredy cat, what a poor choice. I really loved the manga and hope to continue with the rest of the series soon (a good way to get  some relaxed reading between chapters of a classic).

Thanks for reading,
Sidny
