Death Note, Vol. 7

Light Yagami is a top student with bright prospects and no interest in any of them. Then he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami, a death god. Anyone whose name is written in it dies, and Light resolves to wipe out evil with it.

As criminals start dying, the authorities call in L, a legendary detective, to hunt the killer. This seventh volume of the manga picks up after a high-speed chase in which Light and the task force capture the newest Kira.

Light gets his Death Note back along with his memories. The plans he laid before he went into confinement begin to play out one by one, and they show how far his cunning reaches. He manipulates humans and Shinigami alike, and ends up in the strongest position he has held so far.

The win does not last. A new threat appears, and Light has to withstand attacks from two directions at once. This is a supernatural crime thriller built on a contest of wits between a killer and those chasing him, with the pressure rising as his schemes unfold.
