Light Yagami is an extremely intelligent young man who resents the crime and corruption in the world. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the "Death Note", lying on the ground. The Death Note's instructions claim that if a human's name is written within it, that person shall die. Light is initially skeptical of the notebook's authenticity, but after experimenting with it, Light realizes that the Death Note is real. After meeting with the previous owner of the Death Note, a shinigami named Ryuk, Light seeks to become "the God of the New World" by passing his judgment on those he deems to be evil or who get in his way.
Soon, the number of inexplicable deaths of reported criminals catches the attention of the International Police Organization and a mysterious detective known only as "L". L quickly learns that the serial killer, dubbed by the public as "Kira" (キラ, "Kira"? derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the word "killer"), is located in Japan. L also concludes that Kira can kill people without laying a finger on them. Light realizes that L will be his greatest nemesis, and a game of psychological cat and mouse between the two begins.

The end pretty much sucked, I expected more. Other than that interesting plot though I wish L was still alive XD
yeah I aggre with you shinnigami, ending wasnt what I was expecting ether:/ but I think the serie was great:) something different from the other fighting animes like Bleach.
regardless of the ending...deathnote is still the best manga for me!!!!!!!!
its really clever and good. its the best!!
I will have to agree….the end did suck, and L was awesome…Light & L were great charaters…Of course Ryuk was hilarious! I loved this series – wish it didn't end so quickly…
I think the story became a bit boring after L’s death. I thought the situation with L and Light was really exciting!
OMK (oh my kira) I love Deathnote even after it ended!! I wish it continued and L was still alive + Matt ;_;
i hope L didnt die early..
