Death Note: Volume 1

Product Information

In May 2010, a middle school student in Avonworth School District in Pennsylvania was suspended for a "Death Note" with names of fellow students and pop singer Justin Bieber. He proudly declares that he has won, and waits for everyone around to drop dead by Mikami's Death Note. She also mentioned that the epilogue made no mention of what happens with Misa Amane and how Near and Mello were still treated like parts of L. Ohba said that the editor told him he did not need to meet with Obata to discuss the pilot; Ohba said "I think it worked out all right". Bittersweet Ending: Light's quest for godhood ends in disaster, and he meets a brutal and heartwrenching end, as do the other Kiras and their allies.

By April 2015, the Death Note manga had over 30 million copies in circulation, making it one of the best-selling manga series. As criminals around the world die from inexplicable accidents and heart attacks, the global media suggest that a single mastermind is responsible for the mysterious murders and name them "Kira" ( キラ, the Japanese transliteration of the word "killer"). In the manga, he explains that his overactive brain uses up all the calories, while in the anime he claims that "if you do it right" you can eat whatever you want, effectively outsmarting his food.The ban has been extended to other Chinese cities including Beijing, [146] [147] Shanghai and Lanzhou in Gansu Province.

In Volume 13, Naomi is consequently stated to have the lowest possible score in the "luck" attribute. Matsuda is a nice and naïve person who has his self esteem and ideals destroyed over the course of the series.Death Note, written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata, was serialized in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from December 1, 2003, [19] [20] to May 15, 2006.

Inoue noted that to best incorporate the manga's plot into the anime, he "tweak[ed] the chronology a bit" and incorporated flashbacks that appear after the openings of the episodes; he said this revealed the desired tensions. Hoping to apprehend Kira, Interpol requests the assistance of an enigmatic consulting detective, known as L, to assist in their investigation. Before he even met Light, L managed to cook up a brilliant one against Kira, having already figured out that they're prideful and believe what they're doing is just.In South Carolina in March 2008, school officials seized a "Death Note" notebook from a Hartsville Middle School student. Following Light's death, Misa—as she promised—is incapable of living in a world without him and commits suicide. When Ohba was deciding on the plot, they said, they visualized the panels while relaxing on their bed, drinking tea, or walking around their house.

An American film adaptation was released exclusively on Netflix in August 2017, and a series is reportedly in the works. Several characters from Death Note appear in Jump Super Stars and Jump Ultimate Stars, a fighting game featuring multiple characters from Weekly Shōnen Jump titles. With Light insinuating the investigation would lead to Misa's capture and execution, Rem realizes Light's plan all along was to have her sacrifice herself to kill L, as a shinigami may not kill others to prevent a human's death.

On June 12, 2015, the Chinese Ministry of Culture listed Death Note among 38 anime and manga titles banned in China.
