Death Note (All-in-One Edition)

Product Information

The twists in this book keep this so engaging and hard to put down. And with every twist comes a new development in the characters story and how you feel about them. I ended up rooting for Light / Kira, I wanted him to succeed. Kira as a character is so interesting and complex, and it’s just so clever and makes you feel so many different ways towards the character.

Rem – Disintegrated when she wrote L's name in her Death Note to protect Misa because of Light's plan. Kad pagājušais gads gāja uz beigām, man ieteica lasīt grafiskās noveles vai komiksus, lai izpildītu uzstādīto gada mērķi.

Armonia Justin Beyondormason [ edit ] Voiced by: Hideyuki Umezu(Japanese); Michael Dobson (English) 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. Ik begon aan deze uit nieuwsgierigheid wat het was, en in enkele dagen heb ik de hele reeks gebingeread. Voor het gemak deze versie dus maar shelven :)

Part of that is testament to Obata’s artistic skill, as the locations are limited, and time and again he has to draw interiors and ensure the scenes set within them look as interestingly as they read. It’s a real catharsis for him when there’s the opportunity for an action sequence, and he really cuts loose. Ryotaro Sakajo ( 坂城 良太郎, Sakajō Ryōtarō) is a character exclusive to the Death Note film serie. He is the assistant director during the filming of Misa Amane's "Misa-Misa's Happy Sweets" video. He is obsessed with Misa, collecting a used tissue of hers after she throws it in the trash. In a sequence bridged between the two films, Sakajo corners Misa and brandishes a knife, stating that he wishes to die with her. Gelus, a shinigami watching from the Shinigami realm, kills him to save Misa's life. In doing so, Gelus dies and Rem, who was watching, finds it only fitting to grant possession of his notebook to the human that he loved. Since Rem was the first Shinigami to touch the dead Gelus's notebook, she gained possession of that one. For those of you who don’t know, Death Note is a manga series created by the now-famous duo Tsugumi Ohba (the writer) and Takeshi Obata (the artist). The manga series has its run from 2003-2006; it is their first collaboration, and it’s what made them became one of the most highly acclaimed duos in the industry. Death Note’s genre, in general, can be stated as thriller and mystery with a touch of the fantasy element, but this doesn’t mean that this series will appeal exclusively to the fans of the genres. Unlike novels, from my experience, manga usually needs a few volumes for the story to get going; if you’re really expecting to be impressed by the first volume, the majority of manga will probably disappoint you. That said, Death Note is one of the few rare cases where it managed to grab my attention immediately right from the first chapter for its originality and simplicity concept. After they met Dr Nikaido's lab partner Matsudo and ask for his help to create the antidote, Matsudo, who was initially reluctant due to a past incident of an accidental death as a result of his creations, finally relented and agreed to do the job after hearing L's persuasion. After several failed attempts, with the help of Near, the antidote was made. But by then, Maki sneaked off, intending to murder Kujo but was captured instead before L, having discovered her disappearance, could arrive on time to save her. L could only find her bag and teddy bear left abandoned at the harbor where Maki told Kujo to come meet her before her capture.

There are two major arcs in the entire series, with the first one being slightly longer as well as way more compelling than the final one. I'll just call it the Battle of Two Geniuses - one of the best and most captivating rivalries I've ever read. Although it suffered in comparison, the second arc is still a great cohesive continuation of the story to get us to the climax; slowly building up to a mind-blowing endgame. But overall later in the series I felt the quality and believability, and definitely also the tension, falling. There are some good quotes, but the moves and countermoves are broadly the same as before, and that Light would have been indecisive in the time between certain arcs seems unbelievable. The deduction of one of the main characters in the last chapters (specifically 91) is near impossible, you couldn’t find those conclusions decidedly even with big data analysis, plus it would always be circumstantial. Also the whole something happening and another person deducing what happens make for not very engaging, rather slow reading. Chapter 99 at least is a brutal chapter with the demise of two important characters. But overall I disliked the arc after chapter 59, and found Light his convenient manipulation of women not just a bit lazy but also reprehensible. The shift to chapter 38 is brilliant, and also raises questions on the morality and limits of powers of L

Kyosuke Higuchi ( 火口 卿介, Higuchi Kyōsuke) is the third "Kira", receiving the Death Note from Rem, who was instructed to give it to a "greedy", forceful, and selfish" individual who would use the Death Note to attain a higher status that was out of his reach. [24] [25] He was the head of Technology Development at the Yotsuba Corporation, and is part of the Yotsuba Group, eight members of the Yotsuba Corporation that use the Death Note to kill individuals from competing companies to dominate the business industry. He is introduced with a major main antagonist in série/mangá Death Note. Due to his brash attitude and ineptitude, the other members eventually figured out that he is Kira. Based on the much-beloved Dragon Ball manga, this series will introduce a whole new audience to the fantastic adventures of Goku and his friends.

When he receives the Death Note, he is instructed by Rem to carry out routine killings of criminals, then do whatever he pleases with the Note outside of the killings. He then meets weekly with the rest of the Yotsuba Group to discuss the killing of key individuals from competing companies to maintain dominance in the business industry. While they realize that one of them is Kira, they initially do not know it is Higuchi. During L's probe on the group, Higuchi kills Hatori after Hatori produced a "careless outburst." [26] Rem aids the capture of Higuchi by revealing his identity to Misa. Misa reveals her admiration of Kira and uses her status as the second Kira to get him to propose to her and admit to being Kira on tape. Mello ( メロ, Mero), real name is Mihael Keehl, grows up in competition with Near to succeed L. After L's death, however, he concedes the position to Near and leaves to hunt Kira through criminal means, eventually joining the American Mafia. His obsession with surpassing Near serves as the primary motivation for many of his actions. He has blond hair, dresses extravagantly, and is rarely seen without a bar of chocolate. [2] [3] Teru Mikami [ edit ] Voiced by: Masaya Matsukaze(Japanese); Kirby Morrow (English) Not only is this a story that challenges you intellectually, it also challenges you ethically and philosophically. Light's goal is to change the world by killing off society's bad elements. But in his quest for complete peace, is it okay to kill the good people who seek to stop him? If these people are trying to prevent Utopia, doesn't that make them evil? In wars, casualties are always going to occur. But doesn't the death of a few justify saving the lives of the many? That's one of the many questions that Ohba poses, one that cannot be answered easily.
