I enjoyed this book so much from the twists, to the characters, to the artwork. Honestly very enjoyable and has rekindled my love for reading.

Who's that girl?." The Star. Sunday October 29, 2006. Retrieved on August 15, 2009. Archived April 23, 2008, at archive.today Near the end of the episode "Decision" it's mentioned that "two weeks worth of criminals all died at once". Since there's no specific number and no way to calculate how many that could be dead at the minimum, they won't be counted. All 12 volumes of Death Note in one massive book, also containing a chapter never published in English! Unknown Person - Implied to have jumped to their death after Misa wrote their name in her death note off-screen because of Light's plan, body shown. We could cut the whole story in two parts. We have an obvious dividing event, lets call it The Event.Sachiko Yagami is the wife of Soichiro Yagami and the mother of Light. Like her daughter Sayu, she is unaware of Light ever being Kira even after his death. Throughout my time on Goodreads, I’ve been asked several times which manga I recommend. I struggle with this; it’s not that easy for me to recommend a manga series. I have different types of recommendations depending on who’s asking and what they're looking for. But Death Note is one of the few manga series that I often recommend to practically everyone. This reread marked the third time I read the entire series, plus I’ve watched the entire anime adaptation two times as well. This means that I’ve experienced this particular story five times, and it’s still as amazing as the first time. I’m confident in saying that Death Note is a manga/anime series that will be accessible to both newcomer and veteran to manga due to how appealing the storyline and artworks are.

Light is brilliant, and one needs to admire how he manages to get himself out of troubles, like in chapter 14. What a brilliant resolution but also what a collateral damage. If Light killed only one criminal every day for five years, that'd be 1,850 people, but that's not taking into account several things that might impede Light's work. My other complaint is that it felt like the story repeated itself after the halfway point. Except with a different outcome. Because of that, I found the second half of this manga to be a bit boring and predictable. The main antagonist of the film L: Change the World, Dr. Kimiko Kujo ( 久條 希実子, Kujo Kimiko) was a scientist who led a bioterrorist group that strives to use a virus to wipe out most of the mankind to create a new world, believing that the world was corrupt due to humanity's countless acts of undoing. Going by the alias K, Kujo was a former student of Watari, and was known to L. It was mentioned by L that Watari used to be proud of her, possibly due to her intelligence and academic achievements, for which this also implied that her extreme methods and disregard for humanity had led to Watari putting a possible end to their relationship, as hinted by some parts of the movie. In the movie, prior to the murder of Dr Nikaido, Kujo had a close relationship with Maki, Dr Nikaido's daughter.The manga goes into greater depth than the anime, expanding on the main storyline and drawing out more details. Also, the audience has more of a window into the thoughts and concerns of the detectives. World class detective "L," for example, expresses more doubt in his own theories, and so seems less superhuman. Shiori Akino ( 秋野 詩織, Akino Shiori ) is portrayed by Yuu Kashii. She is Light's girlfriend, classmate at To-Oh University ( 東応大学, Tōō Daigaku), [36] and childhood friend. Shiori dreams of working in law enforcement and feels some envy stemming from Light's abilities. Shiori disagrees with Kira's methods, stating that she does not like the terror they incite; she believes that the law should judge criminals. Shiori argues with the "pro-Kira" Light, unaware of the fact that Light is Kira. [37] Light writes Shiori's name and the name of Naomi Misora in the Death Note, arranging the scenario to make it look like Naomi killed Shiori in a botched kidnapping scenario trying to expose Kira. Despite doing so, Light still express some remorse and sadness for using the Death Note to kill Shiori. Ryuzaki ( 竜崎, Ryūzaki ) is a biological clone of L and serves as his successor after his death. He serves as a private investigator and assists in the Death Note investigation on the new Death Note users. Ryuzaki is handed a notebook by the shinigami Arma, but refuses to use the notebook in honor of L. Before passing his notebook to Shien, Mishima writes Ryuzaki's name into the Death Note and sets the time of death several days in advance. After being exposed as the new Kira, Ryuzaki pardons Mishima and appoints him as his successor before his death. Ryuzaki's birthname was Masayuki Arai (新井正幸, Arai Masayuki) Instead of reviewing all the individual separately, I figured it was easier to write one big review on all the volumes of the series. Suguru Shimura is the Head of Personnel. He is described as paranoid and always keep a close eye on others. Shimura's ability to pay attention to small details allowed him to join the meetings; he noticed subtle changes in poker-faced Namikawa's face.
