About this deal

For those of you who don’t know, Death Note is a manga series created by the now-famous duo Tsugumi Ohba (the writer) and Takeshi Obata (the artist). The manga series has its run from 2003-2006; it is their first collaboration, and it’s what made them became one of the most highly acclaimed duos in the industry. Death Note’s genre, in general, can be stated as thriller and mystery with a touch of the fantasy element, but this doesn’t mean that this series will appeal exclusively to the fans of the genres. Unlike novels, from my experience, manga usually needs a few volumes for the story to get going; if you’re really expecting to be impressed by the first volume, the majority of manga will probably disappoint you. That said, Death Note is one of the few rare cases where it managed to grab my attention immediately right from the first chapter for its originality and simplicity concept. I enjoyed this book so much from the twists, to the characters, to the artwork. Honestly very enjoyable and has rekindled my love for reading. Following Light we give L ways to little credit cause what he does in response to all the curveballs is flawless, and he is determined: To defeat evil, there must be sacrifices, that’s what you’ve done, right?

The manga goes into greater depth than the anime, expanding on the main storyline and drawing out more details. Also, the audience has more of a window into the thoughts and concerns of the detectives. World class detective "L," for example, expresses more doubt in his own theories, and so seems less superhuman. The artwork is stunning, a beautiful detailed style to show off the story and the characters. It helps you to see the unwritten and gain a deeper understanding for these characters. A gigantic tome and Light is one of the few characters called smart in a book that actually wow me. Shakespearean. Death Note the anime stands out as perhaps the single best anime adaptation of manga, which itself is perhaps the best manga of all time. Throughout my time on Goodreads, I’ve been asked several times which manga I recommend. I struggle with this; it’s not that easy for me to recommend a manga series. I have different types of recommendations depending on who’s asking and what they're looking for. But Death Note is one of the few manga series that I often recommend to practically everyone. This reread marked the third time I read the entire series, plus I’ve watched the entire anime adaptation two times as well. This means that I’ve experienced this particular story five times, and it’s still as amazing as the first time. I’m confident in saying that Death Note is a manga/anime series that will be accessible to both newcomer and veteran to manga due to how appealing the storyline and artworks are.Finally Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty of Solzhenitsyn definitely applies.

Also the premise reminds me of later Code Geass, especially with the testing of the ability and the ensuing escalation of something supernatural going global. But overall later in the series I felt the quality and believability, and definitely also the tension, falling. There are some good quotes, but the moves and countermoves are broadly the same as before, and that Light would have been indecisive in the time between certain arcs seems unbelievable. The deduction of one of the main characters in the last chapters (specifically 91) is near impossible, you couldn’t find those conclusions decidedly even with big data analysis, plus it would always be circumstantial. Also the whole something happening and another person deducing what happens make for not very engaging, rather slow reading. Chapter 99 at least is a brutal chapter with the demise of two important characters. But overall I disliked the arc after chapter 59, and found Light his convenient manipulation of women not just a bit lazy but also reprehensible.

The whole reflection on morality, and if the goals justify the means, is like the boat scene in the Dark Knight on steroids. Ryuk, the shinigami (god of death who is attached to Light) gives me strong the Joker “I just want to see the world burn vibes”.
