Light Yagami (Or Raito) is an ace student with great aspects who's bored out of his mind. One day he finds the Death Note a notebook held by a shinigami (Death God). with the Death Note in hand, Light decides to create a perfect world. A world without crime or criminals. However when criminals start dropping dead one by one, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer.(source ANN)
This is a more serious anime/manga. I personally like this serious because of the plans that Light and L create to try to "capture" each other, and cause if I had a Death Note I'd screwing over anyone that pissed me off lol.
