kittyg 's review for:
Death Note: Black Edition, Vol. 1
by Tsugumi Ohba
My first proper adventure into reading Manga as part of the #GettingGraphic readalong and I have to say although it starts off quite cheesy I did find myself enjoying the sinister undertones and the fun manoeuvring that the main characters had to do by the end.
We follow a young boy called Light who finds a DeathNote notebook. When he writes in a person's name whilst picturing them he can write out their death and cause it to happen. This turn of events allows Light to do a cleanse of the world's criminals, but it also alerts the authorities to someone killing these criminals, so Light has to hide his tracks...
Overall it's a fairly standard art style and it's a fun story but it didn't quite wow me. I would like to keep reading to find out more, but I;m not yet fully hooked in. 3.5*s overall.
