A manga and anime series about a bored, teenaged genuis named Light who finds a notebook that can kill people, called the Death Note. He uses it get rid of the people who are causing the world to "rot", but it's soon noticed that criminals are dying of heart attacks (the Death Note's default cause of demise) at alarming rates. Light becomes known as "Kira", dirived from the English word "killer", and a legandary detective, known as "L", is assigned to this case. The first half of the story revolves around Light and L's game of cat and mouse, which is made interesting because both characters are intelligent to the point that it's inhuman.
There's no way Naruto will die - the only manga that is allowed to kill off the main character is Death Note.

Almost certainly the best animé ever conceived and produced.

Seeing is believing.
The Death Note changed Yagami Light from a brilliant high school student to a complete psychopath.

An extremley popular manga from here in Japan, has been made into an anime, and 2 movies.
Ahhh its so good, If you like manga and anime, you should DEFFINATLY get into this one.
The actual death note is a notebook made for the Shinigami (death gods) to shorten peoples lifespan, but its possible for a human to get their hands one one.
They are fictional, but i wish they were real,
it would be damn sexy.
Light is one of the main characters, he's extremley smart its almost inhuman.

Death Note is A fantabulous manga series about Light Yagami, a seventeen year old high school student in Japan. He finds a death note, dropped by Ryuk the shinigami, and proceeds to use it to rid the world of evil.
The way a death note works is that you write a name down in it and...they die. You have to know their name and face. If you don't specify a cause and a time, they'll die in 30 seconds of a heart attack. Light kills off the world's nastiest, most wanted criminals, thinking he's doing good.
However, his plans may be foiled by the mysterious "L", who works together with the police and the FBI to track down "Kira", the name that people all over the world use to refer to him.

This awesome series is also an anime, and is a movie in Japan. It will soon be a movie in America as well, starring...**gag**...Zac Efron.
Kira: BWAHAHAHA!!! I WILL RID TEH WORLD OF TEH EVILZ USING MEH DEATH NOTE!!
L: Not on my watch, jerk!
Ryuk: Heh. Heh. Humans are fun...
Near: TOYS!~

Among us in real life.

Full of gay men trying to find out who's the serial killer.

Cast consists of a bad posture (because he is holding that 11 inch monster cock) scoliosis but yet hella sexy emo detective who hasn't slept in fucking years with a sweet tooth, Justin beiber (big shlong edition) raging gay with a god complex who finds a death note and kills criminals with it.

I'm sure Light Yagami was prolly making fun of L for being british behind his back.. chewsday innit!

Stan Ryuk
Person 1// Damn.. I LOVE Death Note

Person 1// I hate Near
Person 2// Fuck off.
