Death Note, Vol. 1: Boredom

Great Manga. I bought it for my brother and I also read it. The quality is great, the front page is one of the best designs I’ve ever seen, it looked even better in person. So yeah great quality and great story. 10/10 overall.

Perfect start to a perfect manga

Very good manga, I love it and I love the anime

This is the best and most original mangas I have ever read. It takes the mystery murder genre to the next level. It's very interesting to read on a psychological level, where we see a young, bright, up-and-coming college student (Light Yagami) who has discovered a deathly power (the Death Notebook). With it, he thinks he can change the world for the better by making it completely crime-free, and rule the world himself; becoming like a god. Using the Death Note, Light begins killing the world's worst criminals simply by writing down their names. His plans go awry when the INTERPOL (the international police orginization)--which finally realizes that all these criminals dying of heart attacks can't be a coincidence--sets the greatest detective in the world on his case--a detective whose identity is a complete mystery. He only goes by the alias "L". Light Yagami gets desperate, and instead of using what he thinks are "just" means to accomplish his "righteous" intentions, he becomes ruthless and amoral, until he is no longer fighting for his ideal world, but only fighting to keep himself from falling into the hands of the law. This is what happens when simple men take on too much power, and think they can handle it best. It's full of mystery, suspense, a bit of the supernatural, and sometimes humor (Ryuuk, ftw!). The art is very well done. I highly recommend it.

The book is perfect except for a page that is folded, me personally I don't really care if it's folded all I care about is that it's readable and arrives fast like this did but if you want your manga to be perfect consider buying from another seller or just buy it here your choice 🔥‼️🥀(also srry for bad quality photos it's dark💔)

I definitely plan to read the rest of the series. The Manga does a great job of keeping you hooked into the story.

Good quality, son is happy.

When I first received a copy of volume 1 from the library (after reading reviews on [...]), I was hesitant to read it, because I thought Ryuku (on cover) looked so disturbing. I flipped through and thought, 'no way will I enjoy this -- he's too creepy and the art is not he typical "anime style" that I am used to.' So I decided to give it 3 chapters -- could not put it down. Was so engrossed I just kept going. Bypassed the library entirely and ordered the first four volumes on amazon.com. I have been trying for years to get my husband as into anime as I am. I'm an old-school anime/manga fan, and am now absolutely thrilled to pass my love for it onto my kids. Anyway, I told him, "Honey, you HAVE to read this." He looked at it, thought it looked bizarre and started to hand it back to me. "No, you HAVE to read it. Just give it 3 chapters, and I guarantee you'll be hooked." He was. We're now toting the tankoban all over with us...while we're waiting during kids' dance or martial arts lessons. I am a firm believer in: if you love something as a kid (manga, video games, whatever), there's absolutely no reason you should give it up as an adult. I am amazed at the unique quality of both the story and the illustrations. It is such a thrilling book of cat and mouse and one-upmanship. I have rarely been so engrossed. The Shinigami are a tad disturbing-looking, but they have a friendly sort of quality about them that makes them almost sweet. I am actually going to pass these books onto my parents and let them read. I've let my father-in-law read "Maus" and he really enjoyed it...so now I think the family is ready for manga. Back in the early 90s, there was so little translated manga/anime out there. Today, there is just a plethora of titles available, and I'm thrilled. If you have any doubts, or you're curious, give this title a read. It's really stellar.

Gleich vorweg: Death Note ist der erste Manga, den ich gelesen habe. Ich muß zugeben, daß ich Vorurteile hatte- Mangas sind Massenschundware, nur für Teenies oder Schulmädchen-Fetischisten interessant, die Stories sind bestenfalls Durchschnitt, das Gleiche gilt für die Zeichnungen etc. ... Gott sei Dank habe ich "Death Note" dann doch eine Chance gegeben, denn siehe da- meine Vorurteile waren samt und sonders unbegründet! Klar ist es gewöhnungsbedürftig, von rechts nach links und von hinten nach vorne zu lesen, aber die Zeichnungen sind definitiv okay... und die Story, liebe Leute, die Story ist schlicht und ergreifend bombastisch! Dem überdurchschnittlich begabten Schüler Light Yagami fällt durch Zufall ein Death Note in die Hände- ein Buch eines Todesgottes (Shinigami). In diesem Fall das Death Note von Ryuk, der es aus Langeweile auf die Erde hat fallen lassen um zu sehen was passiert. Denn das Death Note hat, wie Light schnell herausfindet, die Eigenschaft, jeden Menschen zu töten, dessen Namen man dort hineinschreibt. Light sieht hier schnell seine Chance, die Welt von Verbrechern zu befreien und sie so besser zu machen, und macht sich an's Werk. Schnell jedoch wird die internationale Polizei darauf aufmerksam, daß irgendetwas die Kriminellen umbringt, und schaltet den geheimnisvollen Meisterdetektiv L ein, dessen wahren Namen niemand kennt. Es entickelt sich nun ein Wettlauf zwischen diesen beiden Kontrahenden: L versucht mit allen Mitteln, den Verantwortlichen für die Todesfälle zu finden, und Light arbeitet unter Hochdruck daran, L's Identität zu lüften, um ihn in sein Buch eintragen zu können. Daß dieses Katz-und-Maus-Spiel spannend ist- klar. Aber noch viel interessanter ist meiner Meinung nach der ganze Aspekt des Gott-Spielens. Die Welt vom Abschaum zu befreien, das ist eine löbliche Absicht- aber wie weit kann man gehen? Darf man auch einen fähigen Polizisten umbringen? Heiligt der Zweck wirklich alle Mittel? Und wie verkraftet ein Teenager, so intelligent er auch sein mag, eine solche Verantwortung? Ryuk, der ehemalige Besitzer des Death Note, verfolgt diese Entwicklung jedenfalls mit Entzücken- und mir ging's ganz genauso. "Death Note" wartet mit einer Story auf, die ihresgleichen sucht; ich kann wirklich nicht genug davon schwärmen und empfehle diese Reihe allen, die sich schon mal Gedanken darüber gemacht haben, was sie machen würden, wenn sie Macht über Leben und Tod hätten. Ganz egal ob Manga-,Comic-, Anime-Fan oder nicht.
