About 'Death Note'
Though a brilliant high school student with a bright future ahead of him, Light Yagami is bored with life. Accompanying this boredom is a deep resentment towards the crimes and cruelty of the world. Then one day, as if by fate, Light discovers a mysterious black notebook, with the words "Death Note" scribed on the cover. Inside is written a set of rules, describing how the owner can control the time and method of another person's death.
The rules written inside are as follows:
- The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
- This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
- If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen. If the cause of death is not specified, the subject will simply die of a heart attack.
- After writing the cause of death, the details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
