Death Note, Vol. 1: Boredom

Light Yagami is no ordinary high school student; he possesses a brilliant mind and a promising future. However, beneath his polished exterior lies a deep sense of tedium with the world around him. Everything changes when he stumbles upon a mysterious notebook that grants him the ability to kill anyone simply by knowing their name and face. As he grapples with the power of the Death Note, he is captivated by the possibilities it offers, igniting a dangerous game of cat and mouse with law enforcement.

As Light begins using the deadly notebook to rid the world of criminals, he soon attracts the attention of a legendary detective known only as L. This marks the beginning of a high-stakes battle of wits, morality, and justice, where Light's intelligence is both a strength and a curse. Caught in a world where good and evil blur, he must confront the consequences of his newfound power, leading to a chilling exploration of ambition, corruption, and the price of playing god.
