Death Note (All-in-One Edition)

Product Information

Let’s be honest, every one of us has at least considered the line of thinking above at least once or multiple times; I still do sometimes. That’s part of being human, especially when everything you hear or see around the world is filled with injustice. The main character, Light/Kira Yagami, is a genius that accidentally obtains a Death Note, and he wants to use it for one single purpose: to make the world a better place by killing all scums, rapist, criminals that exist in the world; untouched or touched by laws, there’s no exception. This makes him an ultimate vigilante that practically untraceable by anybody because of its killing method, almost as if he’s truly a god. The plot, of course, became more complicated and engaging once his main rival, L, came into play. Not only Kira and L are both one of the finest characters I’ve ever read in manga, but their rivalry also to this day stands as one of the most highly praised rivalry in the world of manga/anime for many great reasons. To state a few, their characterizations and their deadly game of cat and mouse were so well portrayed that you can’t help but root for both of them. Death Note is a fantastic 5/5 series, but I want to make some details about this specific edition clear to potential buyers. Kiichiro Osoreda – Accidentally ran over by an unnamed man in their car, as written by Light in his Death Note.

The whole reflection on morality, and if the goals justify the means, is like the boat scene in the Dark Knight on steroids. Ryuk, the shinigami (god of death who is attached to Light) gives me strong the Joker “I just want to see the world burn vibes”. 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. Yamamoto ( 山本, Yamamoto) is the newest member of the NPA who only appears in the final chapter. [33] He works as Matsuda's junior, and was seen troubled by Matsuda bothering him with going to a bar. In the special one-shot chapter set three years later, he can be seen in the same room with the rest of the team, albeit not belonging to them, as noted by Matsuda. [34] Criminals and initial victims [ edit ] Kurou Otoharada [ edit ]

GRAPHIC NOVEL GUIDE

primarily this manga is an exploration of a very basic idea - if one had the power to change the world, how far would they go do it. its an idea that's toyed a lot in fantasy, science fiction and in many philosophical discussions; that ethics are contextually malleable? multiple perspectives are represented by a fascinating cast of characters and to keep things interesting, increasingly complex ethical dilemmas are presented during the course of plot.

The art is something else to behold, and this all-in-one edition also compiles the covers of the original published volumes. I often find myself flipping through the book and staring (perhaps even drooling) at the gorgeous artwork.Eiichi Takahashi is the Vice President of Yotsuba Material Planning Division and Yotsuba Homes. Despite his position, he is stated to not have what it takes to be a true leader and that he was selected to attend the meetings to make Higuchi look good. The other members view Takahashi as foolish because he does not seem to put much thought into his comments. [28] Suguru Shimura ( 紙村 英, Shimura Suguru) Voiced by: Hiroyuki Yokoo(Japanese); Brian Drummond (English) 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. Unknown Man - Hit by a car off-screen after Misa wrote his name in her death note because of Light's plan, body shown. 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.

Misa Amane – Presumably committed suicide by jumping off a building after Light's death like she had done in the manga. The Vice President of Marketing, Arayoshi Hatori is the illegitimate son of the company president and uses this fact to benefit himself. He has been shown to appear to be unable to handle the pressures of the meetings. After Hatori makes a careless outburst the Yotsuba Kira kills him. [26] The Special Provision for Kira, usually abbreviated "SPK", is a group of anti-Kira formed by members of Central Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation members headed by Near. Membership of the group remains small to preserve secrecy and the group decides to work separately from the Japanese task force. [30] Many of the SPK are later killed with the Death Note by the mafia due to leaked information. During the episode "Frenzy", the police officer that pulls over Higuchi is mistakenly referred to as Yukito Shiraba, when his name was actually Ito Shiroba which was his name in the Manga.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. My rating is obviously for the whole series combined. The start and the ending were even better! It dragged on in some parts around the middle, for this I remove one star. From Christian perspective Light's character reminds me the exact metaphor of the Devil/accuser/Lucifer(light-bearer). He wants to play God and pass judgement on people by himself. For me the main message of the whole book is “Judge not, lest you be judged” (Matthew 7:1)
