First time ever reading a manga.
Death Note, Vol. 1: Boredom - Tsugumi Ohba,Takeshi Obata

So this is the first time I have ever read a manga. I am not really sure what to say about it, just because I don't have other examples of other manga's to compare it to. I did enjoy it and I liked that it was such a quick read. I am not sure about how I feel in regards to what the main character is doing. I can understand why he thinks he's doing the right thing. But how is he any better than them, if his doing what he is doing. And his putting someone important into a lot of trouble because of this.

I did love the idea of the book, with killing someone by just writing that person's name on the paper. I know there are rules or steps that need to be taken for it to work. 

I will be most definitely getting other manga's and later on getting another book from this series. It was still a really interesting and enjoyable first experience of reading the manga. Especially since it's totally different in the way, you need to read the story. And at times it was confusing but hopefully I will get use to it as I get more experience.

12 Days of Death Note: Boredom
Death Note, Vol. 1: Boredom - Tsugumi Ohba,Takeshi Obata

Having previously seen the anime series of Death Note, I was also curious about the manga they were based on. As it was my first experience with Manga (and I had little experience reading other types of graphic novels as well) I anticipated some problems, but this wasn't necessary. It just took a little bit of getting used, but before I knew it, it was like I never did anything else.

The main thing I noticed when reading Boredom was how closely the anime followed the manga, making that the story came to life even more. I'm already looking forward to the rest of the series!

Death Note, Vol. 1: Boredom
Death Note, Vol. 1: Boredom - Tsugumi Ohba,Takeshi Obata It's a really good start to a series that I hope will be just as good. I like that it could be much lighter if it were told from the point of view of L, but seeing Light's movements over everybody else's makes everything much darker. Light is very ruthless and the only time he considers the morality of his actions is at the very beginning. After this short scenes, he is fully convinced of the rightfulness of his actions. He even goes as far as considering killing his family if it becomes necessary.

I hope we get to see more or L in future volumes. He is obviously a very smart young man and probably the only person who can be a match for Light. The development of his investigation has been conveniently perfect so far, but I would like to see more scenes told from his point of view and the problems he runs into while investigating the mysterious deaths.

Death Note デスノート transcends the manga medium. The graphics are gorgeously drawn, and the story is powerful, climactic and maddening. It's the definitive hard-boiled mystery and a true classic of the century.

I first read this awesome デスノート manga series over 10 years ago I was still in my teens. I greedily absorbed myself in the vivid, suspenseful story over the next few years and even dreamed about being L エル a few times. I could never forget the excitement I felt when I lined up to see the Tokyo premiere of the film adaption in the summer of 2006.

Re-reading them recently opened a floodgate of memories and nostalgia... Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. デスノート drew me in years ago, and it still does.

For me, these manga novels are part of my adolescence and my coming-of-age. They are part of me.

デスノート will always be my favourite manga of all time, and エル will always be my favorite detective. It's one of those books that once you've read you will never forget and your life will never be the same.
