I've decided to make a new club about my favorite new obsession: Death Note!
Those not in the know: Death Note is a manga, and instead of coming up with my own descrition I'll just steal it from ANN (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=4354)
Shinigami own notebooks called “Death Notes” which are used as killing devices. Whoever’s name they write down in a death note will die within 40 seconds. Shinigami Ryuku accidentally dropped his Death Note in the human world where it’s found by honor high school student Raito. With the death note actually having directions in it for its use, Raito discovers he now has the power to discreetly kill people, and with this new power he plans to change the world in his ideal world by killing off criminals. Eventually the governments of the countries around the world notice the unusual amounts of deaths of their criminals, and figure out someone is behind them, but they have no way of discovering it themselves. That’s when they hire L, a master detective, to find out who is behind the murders.
Raito is also called Light, but his name could have also translated as Right (Raight? w/e) as in "write". It's a very good manga that's being turned into 2 movies ^_^ Live action too. I was thinking of tossing up some images every now and again.
Any other Death Note fans?
