Death Note

Tokyo dawn. A crisp blue notebook flips open on a high-school desk. Light Yagami uses the Death Note to erase criminals, then notices the obituaries stop matching faces. Across the city, a gaunt detective in a messy apartment sketches a single question mark beside every headline. A chess match of genocidal stakes.
