”But I, L, do in fact exist. So come on! Kill me if you can! What are you waiting for?”
I read this manga years ago, watched the anime plenty of times between then and now. This is the one story that I would not trade anything for.
Re-reading this in a book is so different compared to reading it on a screen. The ink stands out and the art is breathtaking. I noticed the expressions of the characters more than I ever had, and reading it is a completely different experience to watching the anime. Now the anime is a god damn master piece. But the manga is a museum artwork.
Every time I re-watch or re-read Death Note, especially the beginning, it shakes me even more because I’m stunned with the parallels and contrasts. I think more and more about the characters and the ‘what if’ scenarios.
The first two volumes are basically the genesis of Light and L, and you’re racked with the moral dilemma and the intensity of their tension. But that doesn’t mean that it’s not action packed and fast paced. I think the first two volumes are my favourite out of the whole series, because the moment L declared himself in chapter 2 was when I knew this would be good. And it turned out it was.
*also, I would like to add, that the black edition is gorgeous.*
