About this deal

Special thanks to my Patrons on Patreon for giving me extra support towards my passion for reading and reviewing! wow, this is a book and a half šŸ˜³ I love me some manga, but I think I'm more of a horror manga fan (uzumaki, and Tomie blew me away). A mysterious L starts to investigate the case, and soon a devilishly clever cat and mouse game unfolds between him and "Kira", the righteous god of death. Psychological warfare, plot twists involving family and using the scientific method to a supernatural phenomenon, boss style, make the first chapters super interesting. Also fascinating questions on predestination and free will are touched upon along the way.

Death Note Complete Box Set: Volumes 1-13 with Premium

primarily this manga is an exploration of a very basic idea - if one had the power to change the world, how far would they go do it. its an idea that's toyed a lot in fantasy, science fiction and in many philosophical discussions; that ethics are contextually malleable? multiple perspectives are represented by a fascinating cast of characters and to keep things interesting, increasingly complex ethical dilemmas are presented during the course of plot. Letā€™s be honest, every one of us has at least considered the line of thinking above at least once or multiple times; I still do sometimes. Thatā€™s part of being human, especially when everything you hear or see around the world is filled with injustice. The main character, Light/Kira Yagami, is a genius that accidentally obtains a Death Note, and he wants to use it for one single purpose: to make the world a better place by killing all scums, rapist, criminals that exist in the world; untouched or touched by laws, thereā€™s no exception. This makes him an ultimate vigilante that practically untraceable by anybody because of its killing method, almost as if heā€™s truly a god. The plot, of course, became more complicated and engaging once his main rival, L, came into play. Not only Kira and L are both one of the finest characters Iā€™ve ever read in manga, but their rivalry also to this day stands as one of the most highly praised rivalry in the world of manga/anime for many great reasons. To state a few, their characterizations and their deadly game of cat and mouse were so well portrayed that you canā€™t help but root for both of them. As this is my first-ever manga, I can't draw upon experience in this genre to provide a meaningful benchmark. However, manga or novel, one reads for the storytelling and its characters. In both aspects, Death Note excels beyond any shadow of a doubt. Kira, the protagonist in Death Note has to be one of the most complex grimdark characters I've encountered and I find myself being torn between cheering him on towards his ultimate goal and being disgusted with his methods to achieve it. The art is something else to behold, and this all-in-one edition also compiles the covers of the original published volumes. I often find myself flipping through the book and staring (perhaps even drooling) at the gorgeous artwork. I liked the first part much more. It did not require much suspension of disbelief. I'm not talking about Death Note itself and the Shinigami. Things like a certain Light's father managing to get to Sakura TV from the hospital in minutes. Really, everything is so close? And he managed to get the police vehicle in the meantime. Nah, unbelievable. But it was alright. Mostly the battle of wits. And what a battle!However, you can't help but be drawn into the intellectual battle present between Light & L. It's magnificent! The way this is illustrated to show the characters' thoughts as well as their conversations is genius. Oh, and the artwork šŸ˜ Also it makes very clear that showing a connection to the taskforce was a major mistake and Light could have mobilized public opinion much more. The complete collection of manga about a boy who holds Japan under his control after finding a book that lets him kill anyone he wants to. The Death Note series is a contemporary, shounen manga series.

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.Lovely boxed set containing the whole collection of books. Great presentation making it the perfect gift. 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, thatā€™s what youā€™ve done, right? Death Note, a twelve-volume series written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata, is one of the most complex, well-thought-out, and utterly mindbending stories I have ever read. Truly, Ohba must be of some genius-level intellect to have crafted this tale. The way he displays the thought processes of Light and L, the world-class detective charged with Light's capture, is utterly astounding. The method by which each one of them develops their plans, anticipates the other's plan, and formulates a counterplan... it's mind boggling. And it also makes for a great, great read. Brilliant detective story with a really original plot. All the characters, dialogues and deductions are fantastic with perfect illustration. Throughout my time on Goodreads, Iā€™ve been asked several times which manga I recommend. I struggle with this; itā€™s not that easy for me to recommend a manga series. I have different types of recommendations depending on whoā€™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 Iā€™ve watched the entire anime adaptation two times as well. This means that Iā€™ve experienced this particular story five times, and itā€™s still as amazing as the first time. Iā€™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.

A gigantic tome and Light is one of the few characters called smart in a book that actually wow me.I'm not going to be able to post the notes I took here because there's just too much stuff I wrote. So what I'm going to do is I marked the halfway point in my notes. So I'll make a Part 1 and 2 tumblr post and link them in a week or two. This is the entire collection in one massive book. The comic book is not standard size, but that's about the only complaint I have.
