Description

High school student Light Yagami is about to take the difficult entrance exams for Japan’s elite universities. Though, that’s not much of a challenge for Light. After all, even though he is hardworking and conscientious, he is blessed with above-average intelligence. Thus, he always passes all his exams with aplomb. However, everything changes when, one day, he finds a mysterious notebook in the schoolyard – the so-called “Death Note”. The person whose name is written in this note shall die. While looking at it, Light does not only find out more about the exact procedure but soon meets the original owner of the book: a Shinigami called Ryuk.

The temptation to use the book is far too great for Light, for he views the “Death Note” as a chance to rid the world of evil and criminals. Therefore, more and more dangerous criminals fall victim to it … and eventually, the police must intervene. The investigation leader is a special detective of whom neither face nor name is known. He is addressed only as “L” by everyone. At the same time, the American FBI sends some investigators and takes up the trail of Kira

Annotation:

Light Yagami geht in die Oberschule und steht kurz vor den schwierigen Aufnahmeprüfungen für Japans Elite-Universitäten. Doch das ist für Light keine große Herausforderung. Schließlich ist er mit so überdurchschnittlicher Intelligenz gesegnet, dass er alle Prüfungen stets mit Bravour besteht, und außerdem ist er fleißig und gewissenhaft. Doch eines Tages findet er auf dem Schulhof ein rätselhaftes Notizbuch. Es handelt sich um ein sogenanntes »Death Note«. Wenn man den Namen eines Menschen in das Buch schreibt, stirbt dieser Mensch. Light findet nicht nur Genaueres über die genaue Vorgehensweise heraus, sondern trifft auch bald auf den ursprünglichen Besitzer des Buches: einen Todesgott.

Die Versuchung das Buch zu benutzen, ist zu groß für Light. Er begreift das »Death Note« als eine Chance, um die Welt vom Bösen und von Verbrechern zu befreien. So fallen ihm immer mehr Schwerverbrecher zum Opfer und schließlich wird auch die Polizei auf diese mysteriösen Todesfälle aufmerksam. An der Spitze der dafür eigens gegründeten, internationalen Sonderkommission stehen der Polizeichef von Tokio und ein Sonderermittler, von dem weder Gesicht noch Name bekannt ist. Er wird nur mit »L« angesprochen. Auch das amerikanische FBI entsendet einige Ermittler und nimmt die Fährte auf …

Anmerkung:
»Death Note 13: How to Read« beinhaltet Charakterprofile, Interviews, zusätzliche Infos und einige »Death Note«-Comicstrips. Außerdem noch den »Death Note«-One-Shot, welcher der Reihe vorausging.
Texto de presentación:
«Death Note» es un manga de estilo novela policial, que nos cuenta la historia sobre un joven, llamado Yagami Light, que un día encuentra un cuaderno de notas. Tiene el mejor promedio de la escuela, y se destaca por su inteligencia. En el cuaderno dice que si escribe un nombre, este morirá de ataque al corazón a los 40 segundos, y Light lo prueba con un criminal de la televisión (el cuaderno también requería saber la cara de la persona y su nombre completo verdadero), y funciona efectivamente.

Light decide usar el cuaderno para matar a todos los criminales del mundo que merezcan morir, haciendo del mundo un lugar mejor, y adopta el nombre de «Kira». El padre de Light es el vicepresidente de la fuerza nacional de Policía de Japón (que ironía, no ¿?). Como la policía no puede hacer mucho, un detective (que iguala las capacidades mentales de Light para deducir y planear) bajo el nombre de «L» decide ayudar a la policía. Pero su identidad es mantenida oculta por el mismo. ¿Que pasara con Light, su lucha por hacer del mundo un lugar mejor, y su enfrentamiento con su enemigo «L» ?
Testo della bandella:
Light Yagami è un geniale quanto cinico liceale diciassettenne. La vita lo tedia e il mondo, con la sua ingiustizia, lo disgusta profondamente. Ryuk è un dio della morte, che come tutti i suoi «colleghi» conduce da tempo immemorabile un’esistenza vuota e minata dalla noia. In cerca di distrazioni, Ryuk decide di abbandonare nel mondo degli uomini il suo «Quaderno Della Morte», all’apparenza un semplice block notes, ma dotato di un tremendo potere, perché scrivere il nome di una persona sul Quaderno significa decretarne la morte. Dopo aver per caso trovato il Quaderno Della Morte, e averne compreso le potenzialità, Light decide di servirsene per cambiare il mondo, mentre Ryuk lo osserva divertito.

    I’ll take a potato chip AND EAT IT!

  • Light YAGAMI

    This world is rotting…

  • Light YAGAMI

    I knew I was the only one capable of doing it. I knew that killing people was a crime. But that was the only way to correct this world, and one day, people will accept that as being righteous. I had to take the role of Kira and do it. This was a mission that was entrusted to me. I was chosen to make amends for this rotten world, and to create a truly safe and ideal world.

  • Light YAGAMI

    This world is rotten, and those who are making it rot deserve to die. Someone has to do it, so why not me? Even if it means sacrificing my own mind and soul, it's worth it. Because the world … can't go on like this.

  • Light YAGAMI

    I am Justice! I protect the innocent and those who fear evil. Im the one that will become the god of a new world that everyone desires!!
