Viz Media licensed the Death Note manga in North America and has published all the twelve volumes from the series as well as the light novel, both of which would been found in a young adult fiction section. The episodes from the anime first appeared in North America as downloadable by IGN. Viz later licensed the anime series and it aired on Bionix.
Death Note is an animated series that was created by writer Tsugumi Ohba and manga artist Takeshi Obata. The series is based on character Light Yagami and his conquest in taking over the world and deceasing all types of criminals or anyone that gets in his way. Light finds a notebook that has powers to kill anyone just by thinking of their face and writing the full name out. When you don't write how they die they will automatically die of a heart attack in 40 seconds.
Inexplicable deaths of reported criminals catches the attention of International Police Organization and detective L. L quickly learns that the serial killer, dubbed by the public as "Kira" is located in Japan. He also concludes that Kira can harm or kill people without laying a finger on them and that he is in Japan after using a convicted criminal named Lind L. Tailor, whose capture was kept secret, and pretending Tailor is L so that Kira would kill him. He then reveals this was only being broadcast in the Kanto region of Japan, and that the first Kira killing was of a criminal only broadcast in Japan. Light realizes that L will be his greatest nemesis, and a nuanced game of psychological measures.
Two season of non-stop tension and suspense this has to be one of my favorite anime series that has ever been created.
