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? The battle ends here!

Won't give away anything here but I loved the entire series of this manga (and the anime) and this last volume keeps you gripped all the way through its so awesome. You really don't until the end who's going to win, and it really depends who's side you're on as to whether you'll like the end or not.
Anyway who hasn't got into to Death Note yet should, I've never read a manga that's affected me so much (it's been three days since I finished and I'm still thinking about the ending!.

No other book, whether manga or solely text, has captivated me as much as this. When the last book came through in the post two hours ago I spent a few minutes mentally preparing myself for the book. I bought the first Death Note almost a year ago now. I bought 2 and 3 a few weeks after as I could not always find stores stocking them, and my journey has finally come to an end. As the ending neared I found I was getting worried as whether the book's ending would justify it, I dreaded seeing either Light or Near fail due to a mere mistake, such as when I forget my keys when I walk outside of my house. And I was not disappointed. I was never purely on either side. Originally I agreed with Light's morals and if I found a Death Note I would follow his path, but I found L becoming my favourite character. When he died, I began to support Light again, although I found myself gradually moving to Near's side in books 8-12 as I found his character the most fascinating of all, as Light lost his mind even more. I was thrilled by the ending and tried to view the ending standing as a neutral so I could base my judgement on the plot, rather than what happened to a specific character. I only hope I can find something else to spend my time on as I read 1-10 three times while waiting for 11 and 12 to arrive. I applaud Tsugumi Ohba.

What a great finale for a great series. I won't spoil anyone enjoyment, but this is really what you want to read/watch after travelling on the journey. And you will still have a laugh at it while thinking "god, is this really happening?" just like if you were there inside the story.
Now that's finished, I'll have to find another great manga to fill in the gaps left by this masterpiece. And, give it some time, and I'll go back to it and start it from the first volume, but it will have to be a long time, long enough to forget at least some bits (yeah, I won't forget it easily).
Buy one volume per week, take your time reading each page and admiring the art involved in the drawings, and find a perfect shelf to showcase them all.
