An unknown figure who speaks through the computer and is World’s best detective, L is called upon to solve the case. On the other hand, INTERPOL gets into action at the sudden and unexplained deaths of criminals all over the planet. Within a few days, Ryuk, a shinigami/god of death appears, informing him that he was the one who dropped it on Earth because he was bored of killing people using the notebook and ‘wanted fun’. Thus Ryuk becomes an observer and decides to not aid Light in any manner. With this power in his hands, Light decides to kill all the criminals around the planet using the notebook.
Only necessary information for killing is to know the name and the face of the person, so to not kill people with similar names. Once the name is written, within 40 seconds the individual will die of heart attack unless the details of the death are specified in the text. He takes it home to discover that the object is a supernatural notebook that can kill people just by writing their names on the pages. As he is bored of his class and lecture and is looking out of the window, he sees something drop from the sky. The story starts with a 17 years old, high school going boy, Light Yagami finding a black notebook in the playground of his school. It is left to the interpretation of the reader. He could be called a hero if seen from his perspective, as the author never explicitly states if he is evil or not.
Light is the protagonist and anti-hero of the series. The fictional character chosen for Psychological analysis is Light Yagami from Death Note series, a 12 volumes manga series (Japanese comic).
