The plot is tightly riveting, and the nuances of each character so carefully crafted that their growth never seems outlandish, even though the story revolves around Shinigami and their private notebooks. It stands as an example of why the comic book art form should be taken seriously. Meticulously written and drawn by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata respectively, Death Note is a crowning achievement in the manga world.


Its influence is so widespread, there is even a chance that people who have not read manga have heard of Death Note. For people who read manga regularly, Death Note should stand above the crowd.
