I’m trying not to give too much away in this review, especially on how the death note works. But of course, it comes with consequences, not only the heaviness of knowing you killed people… But also the police that will be after you. How much power it gives Light and how little it takes in return.

The best thing about the death note is how it works. After all, the world would definitely be better without criminals… But a person that kills others is himself a criminal, is he not? Is he going against any moral rules? Acting like a God? Or is he just doing his part for society’s sake? There’s mixed feeling from other characters in the novel and we will all have different views too. But does that serve as an excuse? If there’s something I like is that the book doesn’t give you an answer to that. Because even tho he is killing people, he has the best intentions in mind. It’s really difficult to find him a bad or a good person in the beginning. He feels that the world is full of criminals and he hates it! After trying it out and seeing that it actually works, things start progressing more and more. He is studying to be a policeman so he couldn’t possibly resist it. Our main character is called Light Yagami and he is a Top Student, who after finding a death note that a shinigami lost in the human world, decided to make the world a better place. All the characters are guys with some occasional appearances of girl characters here and there, but I feel that they don’t have that big of a roll. I loved it so much that I decided to get the books and make my boyfriend read it too because, to be honest, this is quite a guy-ish type of manga. Will Light’s noble goal succeed, or will the Death Note turn him into the very thing he fights against?ĭeath Note is an amazing manga series that I’ve read previously online. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god.


Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects–and he’s bored out of his mind.
