Death Note vols 1-3 / Tsugumi Ohba/ 586 pages (3 books)

Death Note is the story of Light who found a Shinigami's Death Note. It's a book that is used to list people and their name and date of their death. There are many complicated rules to the Death Note which Light is figuring out. The Shinigami (death god) who dropped the notebook is following Light around for his own amusement. Light has decided to rid the world of evil by killing criminals, but the power is getting to his head. I thought the story was getting a little long, but at the end of the 3rd volume you learn that there is another Death Note operating and I'm wondering how the 2 will connect.
