Main Story

manga

Thirteen-year-old Taro Kagami is a mild-mannered student who struggles with the harsher side of middle school. One day, on his walk back home, he finds a black notebook with the English title "Death Note." As he only understands the meaning of "Note," Taro assumes it's an ordinary notebook and takes it home to use as a diary. To vent his frustrations, he writes in the diary about his day and details how two of his classmates bullied him. Shockingly, the very next day, he is informed that those two students died of heart attacks. When he learns the meaning of the word "Death," Taro starts to believe that the diary can kill whoever's name is written inside. The appearance of the shinigami Ryuk, the original owner of the Death Note who now stalks Taro, only confirms his theory. Now armed with this deadly weapon, Taro must decide what course of action he will take and whether he is capable of wielding such a disastrous power. *Note: The one-shot was later published as a bonus in the guidebook "Death Note Volume 13: How To Read", then later in the volume "Death Note: Tanpenshuu".*

While rumors circulate that Kira was killed, others claim that Kira is merely taking a break and that their rebirth is inevitable. Although this is nothing but gossip, soon enough, Japan falls under the Death Note's spell once again. When a spike in elderly deaths occurs, many believe that Kira is making a comeback. This time, however, those dying are publicly wishing for Kira to kill them, inspiring many other suicidal individuals to call upon Kira's powers. With both publicity and the number of deaths ramping up, the Japanese police and the anonymous detective L are drawn in to tackle the return of the Death Note. **a Kira-hen (aキラ編, a-Kira) Jump SQ. 2020-03** To alleviate his crippling boredom and indulge in the tasty pleasure of apples, shinigami Ryuk enters the human realm once more. The year is 2017, and Ryuk deems that high school student Minoru Tanaka may have the brains to continue what Kira had started, or at least he will provide him with some decent entertainment. Revealing himself to Minoru, Ryuk offers the Death Note to him and explains its rules. However, after long and careful deliberation, Minoru proposes a counter-offer: he will decline the Death Note for now, but should Ryuk return in two years, Minoru will surely grant his wish. In 2019, Ryuk returns to Minoru, who gladly accepts the notebook and sets his scheme in motion. The Japanese police, the mysterious detective L, and the entire world soon come to witness Minoru's meticulous plan: one that makes unprecedented use of the Death Note's devastating powers. **Death Note ni Rakugaki 4-koma (DEATH NOTEにラクガキ4コマ, Death Note Four-Panel Comics); Akamaru Jump 2004 Spring~2005 Spring, Shounen Jump Gag Special 2005—included in the chapter count as 1 chapter.** **L: Day One (L―One Day); L File No. 15 (2008/01/25)** To the wider world, L is a renowned detective, famed for his high success rate and genius intellect.

Ryuuzaki has no doubt that Light was Kira when he was imprisoned but it's just as clear that he isn't Kira now. On the other hand Light feels as though he has no memories at all. To him it's as though he's walking an endless path, constantly seeking the end of it, but even so he's anxious to see what awaits him at the end.
