Can anyone explain what is going on here? Edit: to clarify, I honestly have no idea what I'm reading: the title piqued my interest, but then it became... I'm really not sure.
It's about an anime named Death Note where the main character(named Light) finds a notebook (dubbed death note), and has the ability to kill anyone if he writes their name in the book. Noone knows he has it, but someone names "L" is hired to find out, and eventually traces the deaths to Light.
Japanese TV show and comic book about a school boy who writes names into a notebook given to him by an angel of death. Writing names in a notebook kills them.
I'm not sure why it's on hacker news-- so I called them tv shows and comic books to offend the otaku.
