Mi primer manga <3 Disfruté mucho leerlo, si bien esperaba un plot twist al estilo que ya venía conociendo de los pasados tomos, disfruté mucho la sorpresa final.
N hizo honor a lo que L quería desde un principio.

A good ending! I did feel like some of it stretched on too long as the characters went on their spiel but happy to have read the series.

What the hell just happened? That was literally so fast, I don't even know how to feel. It wasn't a bad ending by any means, and it isn't that it was unsatisfactory. It was just a little underwhelming. I truly believe that Light progressively and gradually became stupider throughout the last volumes. I don't know, in the earlier volumes I had unwavering confidence in his ability to outwit & manipulate others, but I began to have a lot of doubts at around the halfway mark of the series. Of course I'm aware that he was far from a perfect character, but I feel like he just lost his touch or something. And the ending felt so abrupt after having eleven volumes of Kira trying to build what he thought was this ideal world. By the end I didn't even know whose side I was on anymore.
And there's also that complaint that I write in my every review of every volume about there not being a single intelligent / strong female character. The only female characters we saw throughout the entire series that was remotely important were Sayu, Light's mother, Misa, Takada, Lidner, Naomi Misora and that girl Light went out with at some point (I think her name was Yuri). AND NONE OF THEM HAD ANY INPUT TO THE STORY EXCEPT FOR BEING THERE, BEING USED BY LIGHT, OR KILLED OFF. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
I gotta admit that I'll miss Ryuk. Him and his apple addiction were so amusing to read about, and I feel like him, Light and Mello were my favorite characters by the end.
And hello?? What was with that last chapter?! Is there a sequel or something???
Overall series rating: 4 stars
First four volumes were phenomenal. By the fifth and sixth I was completely lost. By this volume, the plot had become really repetitive and I was like, "Get it over with already." Still very enjoyable.

This series of manga was creepy! I absolutely loved the concept of the death note and the psychological aspect of the series kept me hooked.
This is a great series that is one of the classics out there.
Anime: loved watching the series. I though the anime was even creepier than the manga.

A satisfying end to an excellent series! It's the most complex manga series I've read so far. Characters are constantly attempting to out-think and out maneuver one another -- logic proofs appear all over the place. Basic plot: a Japanese god of death, a shinigami, drops a notebook of death onto earth. Student, Light Yagami, finds the book, realizes the power it has -- when someone's name is written in the book, they die. This sets everything in motion. At 12 volumes, it's a series that's somewhat affordable in terms of both time and money to see through to the end.
