Death Note
Lethal writing journal
Death Note is a Japanese manga and anime series in which a supernatural notebook kills anyone whose name is written in it.
The title refers to this notebook itself.
The franchise spawned films, novels, and video games, becoming a touchstone of anime culture: Have you seen Death Note?
The concept has become shorthand for any imagined instrument of targeted elimination: If I had a death note, my neighbor's dog would be first.
