   Summary

   Light Yagami is a brilliant, meticulous student whose life revolves around routine and perfection. But when a strange phenomenon shakes the world —criminals dying without explanation, all under the name "Kira"— his flawless logic begins to crack. Is Kira a murderer or a savior? And why does it all feel so... familiar?

   Then he shows up: a detective who can unravel him with nothing but a look. And perfection slowly begins to break.

   «Because being perfect... is the cruelest way to hide what’s broken.»
