Резюме
Ryuk, a god of death, drops his Death Note into the human world for personal pleasure. In Japan, prodigious high school student Light Yagami stumbles upon it. Inside the notebook, he finds a chilling message: those whose names are written in it shall die. Its nonsensical nature amuses Light; but when he tests its power by writing the name of a criminal in it, they suddenly meet their demise.
Realizing the Death Note's vast potential, Light commences a series of nefarious murders under the pseudonym "Kira," vowing to cleanse the world of corrupt individuals and create a perfect society where crime ceases to exist. However, the police quickly catch on, and they enlist the help of L—a mastermind detective—to uncover the culprit.
Death Note tells the thrilling tale of Light and L as they clash in a great battle-of-minds, one that will determine the future of the world.

Death Note review
Everybody pretty much knows what happens in this story. A battle of wits between "L" and Kira. I'll keep it short and straight to the point: the art is incredible, especially the hair, but the plotlines with the different tactics was awesome to read, especially towards the end where "N" and Kira give their big monologues about how they got the advantage on the other.
While reading the story, you may come to understand Kira's side (evil needs to be wiped out, but can only be done by a divine presence. I believe that's a truth in this world.), but you will love L even more for all the stunts he pulls. Now there are going to be characters you'll hate, such as Mello, Misa, Higuchi, Mikami. Now, of course the best part of the manga was Kira vs. the original L (Lawliet), even though that had a huge decline in quality with the Yotsuba group story-arc (just pointless overall), and I didn't really care for Near (N), as he was plain useless until the last 10 or so chapters. Near is no Lawliet. That said, you'll absolutely love this classic. |
Death Note review
As a modern classic that also helped me get into the medium of manga and anime, I hold Death Note in warm regard. This naturally led to me deciding to reread the entire manga when I got back into said mediums two or so years ago by purchasing the Black Editions. While I still enjoyed myself, I found myself developing new opinions and feelings regarding this title.
[Story - 7] In case if you don't know what this manga is about, here's the elevator pitch: A high-school kid finds a notebook that can kill people, and decides to become a god with it. From there, he is drawn into a world of psychological games and plans upon plans. Now, if that doesn't quite hook you in......that's okay, actually! I now understand why it might not appeal to some people: whether it reeks of pretention (to a point), seems to prioritize plot over character (which can be argued both for and against), or any other reason. However, I feel that its core being the 'games' that Light, our protagonist, both initiates and participates in is a huge strength for the title. Even if it does come at the cost of some characterization, it's still riveting to read along and try to anticipate (or foresee, if it's a reread) how these events will play out. Because of this focus on thriller elements, Death Note has pretty good pacing; For Part I (L), it's all tightly woven together to build towards that shockingly divisive climax we all know. Even the 'breather' scenes serve to build, as they are either ruminations on the themes or developing the relationships between everyone involved. Part II (Near/Mello) is a bit weaker than I would have liked to remember; It has a tendency to get wrapped up in the inner workings of character's minds, along with the plans these characters develop and partake in, but it still succeeds in developing the tension towards that epic finale in SPITE of said deviations. Thematically, Death Note is.......actually holding up pretty good. As somebody who is going through a coming-of-age, it was interesting to see an extremely-warped version of this appear in the title through Light, Near, and Mello. I don't mean that in a literal sense (though a corruption of one can be seen), but in a sense of one's moral compass and definitions of what 'justice' & 'crimes' are. While it's a bit ham-fisted at times, the discussions of how morality is perceived by society, both at large and by certain factions within it such as the media and law enforcement, held in these 108 chapters is worth reading. Outside of the core theme of 'moral relativity', I believe there isn't a lot to be said in Death Note. Any other themes people may find, such as mob mentalities or the ethics about the death penalty, ultimately tie back into this one. [Art - 10] I'm gonna be honest, I still love Obata as a mangaka. I just can't bring myself to nitpick on his work, which is OH so beautifully rendered in a 'gothic urban fantasy' art style. His choice in wardrobe for every human (Light's honor student apparel, L's slob savant look), the gorgeous otherworldly designs of the Shinigami, the tantalizing realism of the settings, the simplicity & clarity in the action, and even the very faces + bodies of the characters all tie together to perfectly portray just what is going on. It gets even better when Ohba crosses over into the mental ruminations and monologues of certain characters, with brilliant symbolism and an even more distant feeling in how it's rendered. TL;DR If you're gonna read it for one reason, read it for the art. [Character - 7] This is probably the one aspect of the manga that I have the most different emotions about compared to my first foray. It's still pretty solid, but I can see some of the cracks start to show. I'll try to keep the positives short since everybody and their mother has sung praises about it: Light Yagami's transformation from a diligent, yet bored, student to the maniacal, yet arrogant, Kira is so fascinating to see no matter how many times you go through it. It's especially helpful that you're shown every step he takes towards reaching this persona, and the steps he takes following this apex. L is the perfect foil for Light: While he's quite the match for him, and possibly the only person who could be, he's outright ambiguous about what he has in store. This moral ambiguity in our designated antagonist greatly helps depict the core theme of Grey vs. Gray Morality. While a lot of people might not like them, Near, Mello, Misa, and Mikami serve as both great foils for L/Light AND as people who genuinely contribute to the themes and plot occurring. Near, in particular, is somebody I adore; In my honest opinion, he's not just an 'L expy', as some may decry, but a deconstruction of what L WAS when it came to certain traits such as his ambivalence towards people and general moral ambiguity (shared with Mello). Couple this with sprinklings of originality such as an absurd fixation with toys reflecting a state of boredom (and innate youth) and a similarly dishevelled appearance, and you have one of my favourite characters in the whole medium. However, with these positives, I've found that I have certain issues with how people are written here. For starters: While I don't quite demand that EVERYBODY be reasonably fleshed out, I would have liked to see more development for supporting characters that AREN'T Soichiro or Matsuda. I do recall a few minor characters receiving some, such as Aizawa and certain Yotsuba members, but they usually don't get a lot. I attribute this to the focus on our core cast and the games they play, but I would have liked to see some peripheral development to see how the plot and themes might impact people outside of this inner circle of sorts. Another issue I have is rather spoilery, so I'll have to be rather vague: Light's actions in the endgame. It just seems odd that he wouldn't have accounted for such twists to have occurred, even if he was enveloped in the hubris he would have inevitably developed. Speaking with the perspective of Matsuda's theory in the final chapter to be at least partially true, it's especially baffling when you consider that he was able to still contact Mikami preceding the series of events that kickstart the endgame. I'm still okay with how the finale turned out in terms of dramatic appeal, but it gets frustrating to dwell on when you start to think about the logic behind how it arrived to that point. More issues that I have, but are more nitpicky, are: Misa's apparent lack of growth even taking her comedic value into account + her actions in the endgame, Mello somehow not predicting how /THAT/ would have happened, and a lack of insight save for one great chapter into Mikami's POV. [Enjoyment/Overall - 8] To restate the opening lines, it was still enjoyable to go through this modern manga classic again after so many years of not engaging with it and having matured a bit more. I would recommend this to absolutely anyone, whether they be a newbie to animanga, an experienced consumer who hasn't touched it somehow, or even a veteran who has gone through it once or twice. I guarantee you'll find something new to think about because of it, whether or not you like it all that much. |
Death Note review
One of the best Mangas ever!
Story: You won't stop reading until you know what happens next and the smartness of all the characters will amaze you! (and so will the stupidity of the main girl). Art: Perfect! Each design of characters is well done! Character: No cliches here, made very well! Though some characters are annoying (most of the females). Enjoyment: There's not much else to say but you will love it! HIGH ENJOYMENT! Overall: Why do people only read half of it? How pointless! Doesn't anyone want to know the events that occur next that build up to the ending? Wouldn't Death Note make more sense if you read the last 6 volumes instead of googling the ending which is pretty stupid after reading 6 Volumes already? Read all of it to the end! ITS WORTH IT! |
Death Note review
Didn't like the second half of the manga very much. Could rage about it, but I can't think of how without using spoilers.
The first half was pure genius though, continuously interesting and dynamic. Its hard to rate this manga, because the second and first half are so different in my mind. If I was the reader, I'd just read to a certain event. Trust me you'll know what event when you get there. |
Death Note review
hauntingly intricate and beautifully suspenseful.
i absolutely enjoyed the shit out of this manga. from the quirky characters, to the scary shinigami's - i loved every moment. the bit where (SPOILERS!) L died, was so shocking yet so melancholic, i had to stand up and take a break to breathe. in my mind i was like, "maybe if the circumstances were different, L and light would have been good friends." that thought bugged me throughout the entire reading of the manga. the more i thought of it, the sadder i became. maybe light did consider being friends with L, for just a split second, maybe. but evidently that never happened. the ending of death note was gut-wrenching. the moment ryuk wrote light's name, or should i say, kira's name, in the death note - was another shocking moment. it was a punch to the face, kira really was going to die. i say kira because there was no redemption for light, he became a victim to the death note and had to pay the price. light had his entire future ahead of him, but this one thing ruined it all. no matter how smart you think you are, you can never escape your sins - the result of that, death. |
Death Note review
I'm so going to miss reading this manga!
First of all the plot is very genius and unique, the characters (Light, L also Light's father and Ryuk) are absolutely great and different. However, 1) I think that this manga would've been better if it was 9-10 volumes because there were a lot of fillers which had no purpose at all (example Yotusba weirdos) 2) if the writer did only ONE person point of thinking (which would be Light's) and not every character because seriously who cares what a police man REALLLLLY is thinking especially that it won't add a thing to the story? 3) if the L replacement was actually A SMART DETECTIVE not a retard little boy (near) who's character is soooooo boring and unrealistic. 4) Mello and Near NEVER HAPPENED. Another thing I can say is that Obata only focused on developing Light character but failed with some others. I was so sad to see Light die this pathetically in front of Near :"( and why Near have to live?? Argh! And yes, I do think that near used the death note, I don't trust him! Overall, the manga was really good, could've been better? YES but it was really good (except for 3 volumes) and I'm glad that I read it as my first manga and I recommend it for everybody. |
Death Note review
story: the premise is really unique and i love it a lot of the popular manga these days don't really have this kind of dark theme (but death note isn't the only one with a dark theme of course).
art: the art is kind of "realistic" (a bit like berserk) and i really love that the art style fits the story in a way witch is of course great and is one of the strong points of this manga. character: the mc (Light Yagami) and L have this great rivalry witch is pretty cool also most of the other characters are also cool the only character that i don't like is Misa Amane she is character that is super annoying that ruined a couple moments for me. overall: great manga there's a rezen wij everyone recommends this this is a must read. |
Death Note review
Esta obra cuenta con el maravilloso estilo de dibujo de Takeshi Obata que le hace verse muy bonita a la vista ademas el guion esta muy bien pensado,la accion de este manga se basa en las acciones inteligentes de los personajes lo que puede llegar a sorprender a muchos lectores.
Esta obra no es abta para aquellos que les de la palo leer muchas letras en las paginas,para mi una de las mejores cosas que tiene esta joya esque quien es el protagonista y el antagonista lo elijes tu el lector, en mi opinion lo mejor de este manga son los personajes principales y el dibujo y esa accion basada en planear. |
Death Note review
*Spoilers*
This manga started off very good and I couldn't put it down, but I felt it just went on too long. It should have ended around volume 7-8. The story arc with L vs. Kira was great, an almighty battle of wits between two geniuses. The next arc after L dies, with Mello and Near just seemed boring to me and diminished L's significance. I thought it was kind of lame that when L died there were a bunch of other kids from the orphanage that could just take his place. For this reason I even stopped reading and have this series on hold. Also, there was SO MUCH exposition and explaining in this manga series. There is explaining of rules and explaining of theories and explaining of plans, it got very tiresome to read after a while. I found myself re-reading pages because I was confused. Overall I would give this series an 8 because the art is fantastic, the story is very original, and I really enjoyed the first story arc. However, I will say that I don't think it is as amazing as people have built it up to be. |
