3.5/5

I read the first two volumes of Death Note in one sitting and I really enjoyed the cat and mouse dynamic between Light and L. Ryuk was by far my favorite character - I loved his snide commentary. I kind of wish the art had been in color, although I know that's not common in manga. I also realized that I don't enjoy manga as much as I did when I was younger. I found myself sometimes ignoring the pictures and just reading the text. Maybe I'm just too used to reading regular books, haha. Overall, this was a good time and I'm glad I read it.
