History

Light is a typical seventeen year old, except that he's a genius. While looking out the window of his class one day, he sees a black book fall out of the sky. After school ends, he goes over and picks up the book, with the words "Death Note" written in a creepy font. While looking over the book, he reads that the book will kill the person whose name is written in it.
At first, Light doesn't believe it, but ends up taking the book home, where he writes down the name of a criminal that was on TV. As the book said, the man died. Light realizes his amazing possibilities, and starts killing criminalswho have done major or minor crimes, or people he feels the world will be better off without.
After a few days of messing around with the Death note, he is confronted byRyuk, the former owner of the Death Note. Ryuk gives him a lot of information regarding the Death Note. But even despite his scary appearance, Ryuk is crazy for apples, which Light supplies him with.
Unfortunately, because most of the criminals are dying of cardiac arrest, the police get involved, and Light, now dubbed "Kira" by the public, is risking himself every time he kills a convict. Another genius, who goes by the alias of "L", is trying his hardest to stop Light, but both always seem a few steps ahead of each other.
Kira lives with his mother, father, and younger sister.
