It was really good and had a few surprises! I’m excited for the other volumes because I think they’ll be a little more action filled.

This is probably my favourite manga yet!

I was only able to put it down at 4am when I finish reading it.

I had big expectations coming to this. I already knew more or less what the story was about at a higher level but I had no idea the narrative was this deep and complex. The plot itself has multiple layers of events.

I can't wait to see what comes next. This should be a simple story but somehow the writer makes it really complex and deep in a good way.

This book is an amazing experience. Everyone should read it. Right now, I'm honestly wondering if a manga can get any better than this.

This was such an amazing start to the story! The second I finished it i jumped onto amazon and ordered volume 2. I honestly can't wait to carry on this story, easily one of the best things I've read in a long time, and the artwork is incredible.
I love Light and L, and the almost friendship that's building between Light and Ryuk is keeping me captivated.
Cannot express how much i loved this.
