ill., br. Light Yagami è un geniale quanto cinico liceale diciassettenne. La vita lo tedia e il mondo, con la sua ingiustizia, lo disgusta profondamente. Ryuk è un dio della morte, che come tutti i suoi "colleghi" conduce da tempo immemorabile un'esistenza vuota e minata dalla noia. In cerca di distrazioni, Ryuk decide di abbandonare nel mondo degli uomini il suo Quaderno Della Morte, all'apparenza un semplice block notes, ma dotato di un tremendo potere, perché scrivere il nome di una persona sul Quaderno significa decretarne la morte. Dopo aver per caso trovato il Quaderno Della Morte, e averne compreso le potenzialità, Light decide di servirsene per cambiare il mondo, mentre Ryuk lo osserva divertito.
ill., br. Light riesce con ingegno e con l'aiuto di Ryuk a sviare la maggior parte dei sospetti che Elle nutre su di lui, tanto che le telecamere spia vengono rimosse da casa sua. Ma Elle lavora di intuito, e in fondo alla sua mente un tarlo alimenta la diffidenza che prova per Light. Il misterioso super investigatore decide quindi di non abbandonare la "pista Light", ma di cambiare totalmente approccio. Pur senza rivelare il proprio vero nome, Elle si presenta direttamente a Light, con l'obbiettivo di studiarne da vicino le mosse e le reazioni. I due avversari sono ora faccia a faccia, in un mortale gioco che verrà vinto dal più scaltro.
ill., br. Le mosse di Misa, il secondo Kira, si fanno sempre più audaci, rischiando di compromettere la posizione di Light. Il ragazzo decide dunque di agevolare il loro incontro seguendo le indicazioni del suo pericoloso e misterioso alleato. Misa riesce in tal modo a conoscere l'identità del primo Kira, e si presenta da lui offrendogli la più completa collaborazione. Quella che potrebbe essere un'alleanza imbattibile finisce però per tramutarsi in un cappio stretto attorno al collo di Light. L'acume di Elle si approfitta dell'ingenuità di Misa, che viene arrestata, costringendo Light a una drastica decisione.
ill., br. Elle, Light e Misa cooperano per rivelare l'identità di Kira, o del nuovo Kira, che ora pare nascondersi fra la dirigenza del gruppo Yotsuba. Nonostante le precauzioni adottate dalla Yotsuba, il quartier generale guidato da Elle mette infine alla strette il responsabile degli ultimi eccidi, costringendolo ad agire sconsideratamente e a provare la propria responsabilità. Il segreto del Quaderno della Morte e degli dei della morte è però in pericolo e con esso il passato che Light ha faticosamente cancellato.
ill., br.
ill., br. Per recuperare il Quaderno rubato da Mello, Kira cede il proprio al quartier generale, che in cambio si presta a un'operazione di forza contro la banda criminale. Ryuk partecipa al piano, e convince Sidoh a non avvertire Mello e i suoi complici, con la promessa che così gli verrà reso il suo Quaderno. Per la buona riuscita dell'operazione, Soichiro Yagami fa lo scambio degli occhi, e scopre così il vero nome di Mello. Lo comunica a Light, senza tuttavia scriverlo sul quaderno, con la speranza di convincere Mello alla resa. Il padre di Light viene invece ferito mortalmente in una sparatoria e Mello fugge dopo aver fatto esplodere il suo covo.
