Anyone in here following this?



This has to be one of the most clever written manga i've read in years.
A Death Note is a book that has the power to cause.. *drumroll* DEATH!!
Story starts of quite simple, a Shinigami(Death God) drops his Death Note in the human world.
Human finds this and starts out cleaning the world :)
Well with that litlle description youre going to have to do it.

It may sound too corny and simple to sound any good but thats just my bad writing so check it!
I'm currently at chapter 41 and every time i try to predict what will happen or think they cant top the last thing that happened i get smacked in the face with a huge board that says DIDNT EXPECT THAT NOW DID YA!

One thing you should know before checking it out
its heavily text based and the art is very minimalistic

I've heard of it, but the synopsis didn't interest me in the slightest.

wow. it got me. i'd love to read a few chaps of this. seems long though. based on the summary, i think a movie or short 3 ep ova would have done it just right. but then again, there might be more going on than the summary says. i just hope i don't get a lot of stupid filler.

i also hope they mix in some good sex scence. i say, if your playing with death, and theres greusome pics in there, might as well add some sex. it'll keep me going. :p

well it isnt really graphical and the fanservice is also a bit low
its more of a surreal thriller
tons of people getting killed tho
if you want great gore and some great sex scenes check Batlle Royalle

Sex scenes in Battle Royale? Riiiiight. Please shut up until you know what you're talking about.

You must be joking. Neither the book nor the movie had anything like that, so either you're wrong or I'm never touching the manga.

mmm. i love me my stabby chicks.

anyway. i read the first chap. wow. very very good. i d/led the second one but havent got around to reading it. i will most likely end up d/ling it all and reading it later little by little. i have tons of other mangas i d/led but never read... i just never seem to have the time. i keep buying books and novels too but i never read a single one. i hope one day i'll have the time.

but thanks for the reccomendation though. it is indeed very interesting and i hope i can read more.
