However, the writing is brilliant, as Light slowly transforms from a well-meaning young man to someone with a god complex-and a person willing to kill ANYONE-whether they deserve it or not. At this point, most viewers will likely side with Light and the story isn't all that compelling. Eventually, the police decide that murdering these scum is bad and try to put a stop to it (why, I don't know-he is performing a community service). A brilliant high school student, Light, finds it and soon realizes that if he writes a person's name in it and concentrates on the face of that person, then they will die! At first, Light uses this notebook to kill off the evil scum of the world and he becomes a pop hero-though no one knows who is doing these murders or how they are done. This is because the plot is so totally bizarre and complex, but I'll take a stab at it: I death god ("Ryuk") is bored, so he drops a death notebook randomly to see what occurs when a mortal finds it. This is a super-difficult anime series to describe-especially to those who are not anime lovers.
