Death Note #7-8

This omnibus collects volumes 7 and 8 of the Death Note manga. Its story follows Light Yagami, a brilliant high school student whose days have become dull. Everything shifts when he comes across a notebook left behind by Ryuk, a Shinigami who has turned against his own kind. Anyone whose name is written in its pages will die, and Light resolves to use this ability to purge criminals from society.

The question at the center of the story is whether Light's aim of creating a better world can hold, or whether the notebook's power will remake him into the kind of person he set out to destroy. Tsugumi Ohba wrote the story, and Takeshi Obata provided the art.
