I watched the anime adaptation before reading the book. My experiences with watching the anime and reading the books are very different. Even though both stories are the same, I find myself preferring the anime adaptation of these two stories in this first book than the actual book itself. The anime...
I’ll start this review off with a warning: the book assumes you’ve read (or watched) most of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata’s Death Note. I’m going to be writing this review with the same assumption - there are major spoilers for the series from here on out. Okay, so this book stars L and Naomi Mis...
Kizumonogatari stars Koyomi Araragi, a 17-year-old loser. He avoids having friends because he believes they would “lower his intensity as a human” (although one wonders if this isn't just his way of making himself feel better because no one wants to be friends with him). His life seems to be going n...
Actual Rating 4.5 StarsWow. A little confusing but still really good.
If the manga and TV show weren't enough for you, this book is your Death Note fix. Just as well-thought out as the comic is, and the story focuses on catching an unknown serial killer in LA. As the story is constantly giving the reader clues, you can only wander through your very own Death Note know...

Considering that it's supposed to have been written by one of the characters from the latter half of the series, there's some big spoilers scattered around here. Set in L.A. before any of t...
Beyond Birthday is scary. Holy crap his final revealing traits and clashing appearance makes a real scary mystery. A newbie who would read this first before attacking the Death Note manga would only be mildly surprised by the killer. However someone like me, coming off from post-Death Note high woul...

To understand it fully, see the formatted version here. http://deathbooksandtea.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/book-review-death-note-another-note-by.html Review: [side note: We (Nina and Katy) wrote this together, edited it together etc. That’s what makes it a joint review. Nina and ...
I really wanted to love this book. It is sad that it bears so dear a name as "Death Note". It is obviously a desperate attempt from the publisher to make some extra cash out of the franchise. It was far below the Anime in every aspect. I was really annoyed with the characters and didn't care the lea...
