Product Description

Product Description

Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects - and he's bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. But when criminals begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer. With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of his noble goal...or his life? Light tests the boundaries of the Death Note's powers as L and the police begin to close in. Luckily Light's father is the head of the Japanese National Police Agency and leaves vital information about the case lying around the house. With access to his father's files, Light can keep one step ahead of the authorities. But who is the strange man following him, and how can Light guard against enemies whose names he doesn't know?

Pure Genius 2 May 2009
Format:Paperback
This is quite possibly the best Manga series ever created.
All the volumes will have you hooked - and if you're anything like me, you'll end up going through 1 volume (or more!) per day.

Without revealing too much of the plot - it can be best described as an action crime thriller. It has death gods, cops, a small handful of geniuses attempting to work out riddles which keep you on your feet, and many more interesting characters.

It also (quite wittingly) gives you an internal psychological battle, where you try to figure out whether you're with the 'goodies' or the 'baddies', as either side could be good or evil depending on your perspective.

If you're not a huge fan of manga/comics or you're not sure about the series, buy volume 1 first and see how it goes. But if you're a huge manga fan, you may as well buy the entire box set right now!

My first Manga 1 Mar 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
My friends had always spoken highly of Death Note, and I foolishly used to ignore the praise they gave it, thinking it was 'just a comic'. However, after a few years I decided to at least be open-minded and give it a try. And you know what? I'm glad I did! This isn't a manga aimed at kids. The story is rich and complicated and each chapter leaves you wanting to find out what happens next. As the story develops, the plot takes a number of twists and turns. I had not expected such an enjoyable read! The price of this box set is brilliant. It's packaged well with high quality cardboard and the art work is brilliant. This is the series that got me into graphic novels and manga.
