What would you do if you held the power of a god in the palm of your hand?

Dive into the dark, suspenseful world of Death Note, a legendary psychological thriller written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata. The story begins when brilliant but bored high school student Light Yagami discovers a mysterious black notebook dropped by a Shinigami (a god of death) named Ryuk. The notebook's terrifying rule is simple but absolute: write a person's name inside while picturing their face, and they die.

Operating under the shadowy alias "Kira," Light embarks on a ruthless global crusade to eliminate criminals and rule over a flawless, crime-free utopia. However, his massive body count quickly draws the attention of "L," a highly eccentric and equally brilliant world-renowned detective. What follows is an intense, high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse that completely flips the traditional shōnen script, trading physical battles for gripping psychological warfare.

Widely translated and enjoyed globally in languages like English, French, Italian, and Portuguese, this thought-provoking masterpiece constantly challenges your sense of justice. Read the complete chapters of Death Note online today and decide for yourself whose side you are on!
