Ahh this Death Note series is amazing! i truly think its my favorite manga because it makes you really think about the consequesnces of your actions and has lots of suspense! The art alone is absolutley amazing, detailed perfectly, but not too much like some manga (King of Bandits Jing has, in my opinion, too much background detail and takes away from the manga) The artist who does the visual part of this story is also the one who does Hikaru No Go, but Death Note seems more detailed and more “realistic” when it comes to the art of the people.

I would rate this manga a 8.5/10! why the odd number, you ask? The 8/10 would be too low, but i dont think its deserving of a 9 either XD Really, nearing the end of this series it got very complicated, and more over i had to really think and read over some parts to get it all straight, because it was going by really fast and it was all very very confusing (to me anyway) Also, at times, i found the manga was moving too slow, and some parts of the manga were unnessecary and needn’t be there at all.

All in all, its still a great read and worth picking up! Can’t spoil it or you, but if you get started youll have to read it to the end! Sorry for going on and on like that, its gone from my two cents to like a five dolar bill

[...] Having read the first volume of the Death Note manga (and liking it), I had high hopes for the anime. It’s actually a pretty good thing that I read the manga, since I probably wouldn’t have been able to really understand the anime without doing so. [...]

The Raito=Light thing seems to be the author’s attempt to connect his character to the letter ‘L’. Which holds much greater meaning later in the story. ‘KIRA’,'L’,'M’ and ‘N’.

As for which romanization to stick to, it’s really up to preference. They’re both perfectly valid since Raito himself confirmed that his name is written with a rare pronouncation of the character for ‘moon’. The japanese thinks foreign words are cool and the foreign fans think japanese words are cool.

I bought it when it first came out so long ago and up till the battle with L concluded it was certainly the most thought-provoking shounen Jump manga ever. Most different too.

In other words, read it. There’s a lot of food for thought in the form of ethical issues, detective duels and characterisation.
