The book has an interesting and dark premise. However for how much these volumes cost, I would think that at least a small storyline would finish. The book ends suddenly and doesn't have a small story arc that can leave you satisfied.

I wasn't a big fan of this manga. The situations felt unnecessarily convoluted. And then the characters came across as incredibly pretentious while explaining why they needed to do this ridiculously complicated thing. Interesting idea, but execution didn't work for me personally. 

A very suspenseful and addictive read, can't wait to get my hands on the next volume!

"The death god is quite funny even though he looks like something taken from nightmares."
 
I find myself split in my opinion about the first volume of Death Note. I actually don't like the main character that much and usually you are supposed to do that so I'm quite confused. The main characters is supposed to be the hero you are rooting for and wish the best of luck to. But Light is no hero. He started something with good intentions but later turns just as bad as the bad guys he is targeting. In the end he is no better than those criminals he's erasing from this world. The death god is quite funny even though he looks like something taken from nightmares.

And the story is good and exciting. I really like the way it is built, the artwork and the feel of the book. It ended when the suspense was at its peak and I just had to throw myself on my phone to order the next on in the series. It is that good. Now I just have to wait two weeks for the second one to arrive. hehe

I'm not an avid reader of graphic novels but I'm beginning to understand the appeal and I really recommending this one.
