    Summary

    In December of 2006, five of the top-performing students of the Wammy House for Gifted Children are asked to bug the office of their headmaster, the ever-disgruntled Roger Ruvie, for reasons even they can't name.

    Not a single one of them leaves that office the same as when they first entered.

    And least of all Hikaru Yamaji, known to his peers as Light.

    One week later, secrets are spilled, and the five students are in Tokyo, trying their hardest to capture what their mentor has publicly referred to as "the most atrocious murderer of all-time." And with an increasingly secretive girlfriend, the promise of a god of a new world yet to come, and a priestess dressed in white and red, Light, the son of two criminals sentenced to death, has to give his all just to keep himself sane.

    Or die trying.

    [Don't be intimidated by the number of chapters... there's a document placed between every actual chapter, supposed to represent something significant to the investigation, so it looks twice as long as it really is.]
