Death Note is a Japanese animated series that was originally produced as a manga in 2003. It follows the story of a young boy who is handed an all-too-powerful tome, granted to him by a demon who has grown bored of eternity and wishes to stir mayhem for humans. The notebook, or Death Note, grants the owner the power to kill any person simply by writing their name on its pages, a power many no doubt would love to have. This unique thriller-suspense series has become a timeless classic for fans around the world.
