Death Note

Death Note,  The story written by Tsugumi Ohba and manga art by Takeshi Obata. Alight, I know when it comes to Death Note there are two teams, the first are the people who think its way overrated and just not great, while the team who thinks of Death Note as a work of genius; and I must say, Death note, all around, is one of the best manga’s I’ve ever read and completely deserves all the popularity its gained.

Okay so the story, Death Note is about Light Yagami who is a genius high school student, and one day while looking outside during class he saw a book fall from the sky. After class he went to go see what it was and found out it was the ‘death note’ he takes it home, believing in all the rules it states ‘who’s ever name is written in this notebook shall die’ and is then greeted by the books holder, a shinigami(death god) Ryuk. Light is the new owner of the book and decides to kill all the evil in the world so he can create peace. All the while the world police enlist the help of a world famous detective who goes by the name L to help catch the killer responsible for all these unexplainable criminal deaths. There the story spurts into genius madness, where Light(Kira) and L play a game of cat and mouse to kill each other before the other one does.

I read the manga when it showed up in borders a few years ago, and loved it from the start, and I watched the anime as well, both being great. I still have a lot of questions about death note but I loved it from beginning to end.  I completely say if your not sure if you want to start reading mangas or just want to try this one out start here, it’s the hook!
