Death Note

A manga about a genius teenager who comes into possession of a Death Note that allows him to kill anyone by writing their name in it.

So here’s the thing…

I think Death Note is fine but I also think it’s way overrated.

The story builds nicely but I thought everything that happened after L was pretty boring. I had a better time with the recent one shot then trying to reread this series. I recognize the importance of this manga without having to really like it myself.

Available from VIZ in English.
