I watched the Deathnote tv show while I was in High School, but I’ve been wanting to read the comic for a while as well.

Such a fascinating concept! The character of Light is also interesting. He is the protagonist, and believes that what he is doing is moral, but acts as more of an antagonist in the world that he lives in. He’s not really an antihero, but he’s not really a villain. His character is written like a hero, but he doesn’t act like one would.

The idea of the Death Note is also unique and opens up opportunities for different plot lines.

I’m excited to continue reading this series. Thankfully I have a terrible memory, so I can still be surprised at it, lol.

A slow start but the end of the volume I became more interested. I might just continue on this series just because I’m curious about where this could possibly go! I also really enjoy Ryuk as a character and am excited to see more of this Shinigami’s personality in future volumes.

Re reading the series for the first time since I was 14. Favorite characters are definitely still L and Ryuk. Love Ryuk’s fashion style. An icon. Honestly don’t care abt anyone else yet lol. But I’m enjoying it for the nostalgia.
