Coup de coeur
Coup de coeur (Manga), by Anthony

What if we could somehow ease the suffering of others, our neighbors, our fellow man? What if we were able to exact judgement upon those who are "evil." Would we do it? Would we be willing to take up the gavel and "Play God"? Death Note has probably impressed me more than any other manga I've read. Its degree of sophistication in all categories — story, characters, and artwork — is incredible. The story is significant, the characters are engaging, the artwork is beautiful. This is one of those titles that almost anyone can enjoy; better yet, I feel like this is one of those titles that can act as a gateway for a new manga reader, encouraging them to explore the medium further.

Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects - and he's bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Noteto rid the world of evil. But when criminals begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer. With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of his noble goal…or his life?

This contains the first two volumes of Death Note.
