Death Note, Volume 1
Death Note, Volume 1 | Tsugumi Ohba
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?

I had such a sudden urge to reread Death Note the other day, even though I‘m not a huge manga reader and I‘ve barely thought about this since school. It just popped into my head and I flew through jt and really loved it. Maybe I need to do a whole reread?

My first manga! This series was recommended to me since I like mysteries and thrillers and I enjoyed it. The main character is a little cocky though

This is my first manga and it is taking me a bit of time getting used to the format. 🙃 Unrelated, I‘m heading to Dublin for the first time and wondered which bookstores are a must see? Anyone have some recommendations? I‘m all ears!!

This was original and I really enjoyed it. I couldn‘t quite figure out why it‘s been banned. The premise is certainly violent, but it wasn‘t at all graphic, especially for something geared towards adults. Maybe the rest of the series gets a lot creepier. #BBRCAdultSeinen/Josei #Bookspin @LibrarianRyan @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!!! 2y
LibrarianRyan It does. And it get more violent. As various death scenarios go. I havent' read book one, but I had a parent complain about a few of the volumes, and that we had the anime. So I had to look into it. 2y

Stopped at B&N yesterday and purchased Death Note! After watching the series on Netflix, I just knew I needed it! Have you watched or read it?

Jari-chan I love the manga, one of the best there is. The Japanese movie isn't bad either. 4y
phantomx @Onepageatatime88 I like the manga a bit more than the anime, its still good though. Interesting enough, the creators of Death Note released a one-shot of a sequel to Death Note, which is 10 years after Light is given the Death Note 4y

One of the best bookish gifts I have received was when someone on a litsy swap sent me a gorgeous deathnote notebook. It has ALL of the rules in the front, and names on some pages. Absolutely gorgeous! But I can‘t bring myself to write in it! (Just incase 😉)

This was my first manga, and I definitely enjoyed it. Light finds a death god's notebook and discovers that any name he writes in it causes that person to die, so he sets about creating a better world where criminals are all dead. However he also starts using this power to ensure that he won't be caught, by killing the people who come looking for him. It's interesting and really well done, and I'm having a good time.

I finished the first volume way faster than I expected. Looks like it's helping with the reading slump 😁
Aside from a few aspects I didn't enjoy, regarding how the police are handling the Kira investigation, this was a great start. It's setting up the world pretty well and the story is very entertaining.

I'm going through a bit of a reading slump and I just picked up this manga in hopes of getting over it. The first chapter was super fun and I realized that I've forgotten many details from the anime. We'll see how it goes.

I see why this is so popular. After Light Yagami finds a Death Note (a notebook belonging to a Shinigami death god) everything changes. Write someone‘s name in the book & they die—either by heart attack or a method the writer suggests. Light doesn‘t want to use it for evil. No, he wants to use it for good & so starts killing off criminals on his way to building a new utopia. When he becomes the hunted things get even more complicated. A good read.

It snowed this morning, the sun set at 4:36pm and the temperature is currently 26 degrees Fahrenheit and falling so yes, I am in my pjs, under the blankets and enjoying some reading therapy. I bought my husband the complete Death Note series a year or two ago when he started getting into anime (because a book is always better!) and he loved it. This week he gave me Volume 1 and told me I should read it. The howling winds outside say, “good idea!”

I'm so sorry, I've fallen completely off the radar again. My job has been keeping me completely swamped lately. If it weren't for audiobooks while driving/cooking/cleaning, I'd have no time for books at all, sadly.

On the bright side, my thoughtful other half knows I've been dealing with a lot lately, so he brought me home a little pick me up gift tonight! Awesome Deathnote socks!

Help Littens!!! So I've never read Manga before but I've read comics. This series seems really interesting and I'm contemplating buying the whole boxed set or just volume 1 first to see if I like it?

Boxed set=$65 vs vol. 1=$9

CatLass007 I would take a chance and by the boxed set. You always can resell it on Amazon or eBay, if you don‘t like it. Of course, I‘ve never read it, so I don‘t really have any recommendations about the books themselves. 7y
abbsinwonderland I'm DYING for the box set! I loved the anime and really wanna read them. Don't base your choice off of the Netflix remake movie. 7y

This was my first manga. I must admit that I watched the Netflix movie first, but the manga is so much better! I love the dynamic between Light and Ryuk. I found the rules for using the Death Note fascinating. I will definitely continue reading this series!

night_shift The anime is great, too, but that movie was a damn tragedy. It's like, they spent all their budget on the Ryuk CGI and then shrugged and threw some garbage together for the rest. I didn't like how they portrayed Ryuk in the movie.. he meddled more then he should've. :/ 7y
Jadams89 Yeah, I decided to read the manga after watching the movie, but I can already tell the movie is disappointing in comparison 7y

Even though my expectations are not high, I am still looking forward to the live action adaption of Death Note (manga series) on Netflix this August 25th. I would've preferred a series rather than movie, but I'll take what I can get 👍

Here's a link to an article about what the mangaka thought about the adaption:

Yeah, this is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read for me. The art is fabulous, the story is interesting, and there is never any confusion as to who is talking or the order of things. It is amazing.

Light finds a Death Note, which gives him the power to kill by simply writing a name. He begins to use it to create a better world, but will the power ultimately corrupt him?

Can't say enough, how much I love this series! ❤️❤️❤️
