Question

One holder of these items was nicknamed for the fact that he auctioned their usage, which would inadvertently lead to his death in a bank because of a new rule punishing people for receiving payment for these items. (15[1])These items only operate within a 23-day window, and a fake rule about these items claims that consecutive events must occur within (15[1])13 days. (15[1])One holder of these items (15[2])obsessively repeated the word "sakujo" when using them. After digging up one of these items in a forest, a pop singer named (*) Misa Amane regained her memories. (10[1])Touching these items allows one to see Shinigami like Ryuk. These items were used to punish criminals via heart attacks and were notoriously used by a figure known to the public as Kira. For 10 points, name these black notebooks that have the power to kill anyone whose name is written in them. ■END■
