Death Note, Vol. 1: Boredom
by Takeshi Obata, Tsugumi Ohba
This is THE gateway to manga. I always reccommend it to everyone who is interested into starting reading comics in general but doesn't know where to start. This is the first volume of a completed series of only 12. It can be read in a single sitting, which is particularly optimal for the story, since the plot truly hooks the reader in from the start.
This is a thriller, a fierce intellectual fight between an ingenious and cruel student with a good-complex and incomparable gymnastic ability to bend his morals and an eccentric and shrewd detective wrapped in layers of mystery.
The plot is tight and full of twists and turns, the pacing is perfectly fitting and the characters are some of the best I have ever read about.
