Death Note, Vol. 2  (English, Paperback, Ohba Tsugumi)

Yagami Light’s one man assault against wrong-doers with the power of his Death Note continues in volume 2 of the bestselling shonen manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata.

Summary of the Book

Yagami Light believes he now controls everything. Indeed, vested with the powers of the Death Note, through which he can kill anyone by writing their name in it, he is pretty unstoppable. All he needs is a person’s name and a memory of what they look like. He gains notoriety as “Kira”, and the FBI begins a manhunt for him. He uses the Death Note to take care of the agents looking for him. He doesn’t realize that this is a mistake. The famous reclusive detective L has emerged to work with the task force in charge of finding “Kira”. No one knows L’s real name, and to add to Light’s chagrin, his father heads the task force looking for him.
