This has got to be the best manga that I've ever read ^^

SYNOPSIS:

Yagami Light is a young but bright high school student who has until recently led a boring and uneventful life. That changed very quickly when he found a strange notebook with the title "Death Note" lying on the ground one day. It wasn't until later that he realized that this "Death Note" was the tool of a shinigami (god of death in Japanese) from another world named Ryuk, and that it had the power to kill whoever's name was written on its pages, so long as the writer knew the victim's face as well. Light realises his ability to kill whomever he wishes, and he uses it to begin a "cleansing" of the world from evil. It does not take the police long to realise that somebody is responsible for the mysterious deaths of criminals, and he is then soon hunted by the Japanese police force and a mysterious detective known as "L". So as Light works towards his "perfect" world, devoid of crime and injustice (and with him as leader), L works to catch the mysterious murderer, dubbed "Kira" by the press and end the increasingly senseless deaths of criminals and anyone who gets too close to the truth. L and Light soon begin a cat and mouse chase to see who will be the first to have their personalities exposed...



DEATH NOTE (Written) RULES:

- The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
- This note will not take effect unless the writer has the subject's face in their mind when writing his/her
name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
- If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the subject's name, it will happen.
- If the cause of death is not specified, the subject will simply die of a heart attack.
- After writing the cause of death, the details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40
seconds.

i absolutely love this manga. i feel so crazy thinking that a murderer like raito is so freaking hot. >.<

Oh by the way, it's already out in the bookstore.

a must read manga. cool characters and story ^^

GASPPPPPPPPP! IS IT?! Oh, man! Must buy it!!!! lasdkjflkdsjaf [crazy]


I actually only read a few chapters, but it was really interesting. That blue guy (I forgot his name) looks kinda freaky, but whatever.



[edit]

Yay! Vol. 2 is coming out in November!

death note is smecksy.

i really liked this manga but then i fell behind and now i'm too lazy to catch up~ =_=

i don`t know .. i`m a little scared to read it .. it is a horror manga right ?

Death Note is so cool!!

Yeah, I got this book when I went to Borders. They had a buy 4 get 1 free deal on manga, so I chose this as my free one cuz my friend kept bugging me to read it.

But yeah, it's really good, and I've only read one volume so far =/

it involves death and death gods, but it's not scary. i mean how scary can a comic be?

thanks for the links
i stopped at chp 63

i used to be LOVE this manga .. then i thought it got kinda boring after something happened ? o.O

yeh i've read all the way up till when you know who dies and a few chapters past that and its not the same. you know who was such a cool character, but i'm still going to continue. its such a big buzz in japan and china atm

oOHh!! they have it at Borders?!!
i'm going there tomorrow then

yay i was looking for the death note thread
ITS SO ADDICTIVE.... but N and M kinda put me off

I love kira

can u actually by the death note stationary? i heard in china it was banned at schools cos students wrote teachers names on it. anyway i never knew china had jump translated weekly. i knew chinese translation from japanese is very quick but gee

Totally gonna read this after exams.. seen so many hot cosplay of this^^

yes after he died i was like... wtc
and den there's the jump

the story is really good but i don't particularly like/dislike the art style, though i loved the style in Hikaru No Go.

lol that's pretty funny.

not as obsessed about it as before but i still read it~ Raito-kun ish always hot thou!

whoa the guy in the costume is scary lol

sounds and looks interesting. maybe i should read it! is there an anime of this?

the buy 4 get 5th free is always good!!!!! i buy my manga at Waldon's....is that what it's called...hahahaha...at the mall...Death Note finally got here!!! im waiting for the Wallflower...sniff...

omg!! i love this manga..its awsome!!!!

haha i remember when i was reading death note, it's pretty good

where do they have buy 4 get 1 free? is it at borders and will it be international? i only buy manga in singapore now, australia doesn't have a good range.

omogsh this manga is so good!

i love this manga!

i think (in my opinion) it got boring after the original L died.... it was so much more intense.... M and N arent as exciting... or maybe the story itself??? i onno.. the "L vs Kira"s .. freakin tight

near is too good.

near is a bastard, same as mello. go matsuda the underdog

Gosh, he's hot! And he looks like L (maybe more handsome even).

eh.. Near and Mello are boring chars.. I think Near is trying to copy L, the way they sit. Lol~

is this manga is ongoing? o.o feels like it kinda stopped at some volume rite...

this sounds like an interesting manga

I read this, and at first I thought this was sooo awesome, but later it gets dragged out and they talk WAYYY too much in it. Especially Raito, the way he blabbers on and on and on and on...

does anyone know where I can buy death note (english) online?
^^
thanx =]

I went to Borders (Melb, Aust) today and they didn't have it....grr...>_

I'm still in mourning. Great manga, though.
