Great book!

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2024

To be honest I literally never read (text books or graphic books) but I couldn’t be happier with this book to be honest. I wish they’d make a color version of the manga in English but there’s none made yet so if you want to buy the manga these books (there’s 6 total this is the first one) are the way to go. But there’s some color in the beginning which is cool.

The art is incredible as well.
If you want to buy the manga I recommend this edition and maybe the box set.
Stay away from the all in one edition, the quality is terrible, get this one instead it’s great!

If you’re not a book fan just watch the show🤷‍♂️

Gorgeous Black Edition

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2017

Firstly, this story is masterful. You can get a first impression by the description and beginning of the story that it'll be simply about a kid who gets this immense power to deal death to nearly anyone he chooses. However, it develops into a smart (and sometimes funny) cat and mouse battle of intellect and wit between said kid and a secretive detective hell bent on discovering him. Ahhh-mazing.

I was apprehensive about purchasing this versus the normal volumes. This price is definitely a plus, you get 2 volumes in each black edition (7-8ish each, but 10-12 for B.E.). The Black Edition has a matte black cover and the page edges are also black. Simply put, its a sexy lookin book. Other reviewers complained about the matte finish capturing any and all fingerprints thus leaving this better suited for a collector, never to leave a shelf. Mine did suffer some finger prints. However in a moment of sheer bravery I took a washcloth that was damp (when I say damp, I mean to say that i wringed as much water out as possible, leaving it nearly dry) and gently wiped the cover and then immediately dried it with a dry washcloth. Left the cover looking like new. I would suggest being extremely careful if you try this, as it would be very easy to accidentally wet the edge of the pages, which would not be so fixable.

Death Note: Black Edition, Vol. 1 contains Death Note, vols. 1 and 2, and it's a great buy at around $10. It's about an inch taller than most of my manga, and the edition is gorgeous, with black-edged pages and a black cover. There are 13 volumes of Death Note, and seven volumes of Death Note: Black Edition, which contains two volumes each book, at around 400 pages each (except the seventh volume). It's the story of Light Yagami, a brilliant high-school student who finds a Death Note dropped by a Shinigami or death god. With the Death Note, Light can write the name of anyone, and that person will die in the manner he writes.

Of course, soon Light's murders become world-wide news, and an equally brilliant teenager known only as L is trying to stop him. To make matters worse, his own father is heading the Japanese task force assigned to catch Light, known in public as "Killa." I know, it sounds a little silly, but it works. There's a ton of attention to detail in this manga. The ability of Tsugumi Ohba to turn every situation into a film noir-esque cat-and-mouse game really works, and Takeshi Obata's art is very captivating. I'm really glad I found this series. ****1/2

The Beginning of a Great Series

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2012

Verified Purchase

Death Note is a great series because it deals with important issues of right, wrong, the desire for power and control and death, in the context of a very intelligent boy and his demon attempting to outwit law enforcement. The books contain wonderful and well-plotted twists and turns and excellent graphics. Death Note became a popular television series in Japan and I wish a Joss Whedon type would address it for American television. For those not familiar with this form of book, it reads from back to front but that is not a problem. The books are also visually attractive with black and white covers and black edges. The best series since Lone Wolf and Cub. The same high praise applies to all of the volumes in the series.

A great book and story, awesome illustrations, and it came in almost perfect condition; (I think the mailman is at fault and not the shipper because it was stuffed into my mailbox.) This comes with both volumes 1 and 2, and having a total of 16 chapters in this book. The black design is so sleek and cool in my opinion, it's a thick book and a decent size aswell. The pages seem good quality, thin but feel more secure than other books. 5/5 ☆
