Death Note #1

This first volume of the French edition of Death Note introduces the core premise of the series: high school prodigy Light Yagami discovers a mysterious notebook dropped by a shinigami (death god) named Ryuk, which grants him the power to kill anyone whose name he writes in it. As Light begins using the notebook to execute criminals, the world's greatest detective, known only as L, starts an international manhunt to uncover the killer's identity. This collection launches the iconic cat-and-mouse thriller between Light and L, setting the stage for a battle of wits that defines the series.
