Ten years ago, a man named Light Yagami shook the world to its core. Taking the pseudonym Kira, he worked towards creating a new world by using the Death Note to kill those who didn't belong. But he was stopped-or so everyone thought. Now, delighted by the reign of Kira, the God of Death orders his reapers to find a replacement. Six Death Notes are placed on Earth and picked up-who among them is worthy of becoming the new Kira?
With the help of world-renowned detective L's successor, the police work tirelessly to fight the new killers and contain the rampant Death Notes. One trail leads them to a cyberterrorist who claims Kira is God, while another leads them to a familiar face. But in the end, they'll find that the light of justice won't die easily and one among them holds the true key to Kira's plan.
