i didn't see any thread for this particular manga..so i thought i might as well start one :-)

so has anyone read this manga? i have, and i must say it is one of the best i've read so far. i think the story is quite original and the idea of genius vs genius is very interesting.

my favorite characters are L and Near, but mostly L :p
 
it's good i think
but have not read much of it, as am trying to read gantz first

im intrigued by the title, could you shed a little light about?
 
gotta to agree with dekamaster on this one, sounds really good im going to get my hands on it.
 
Mhm, I've read it, but only to ch70. I have to get others too :-)

I really like the whole idea, although it IS a little scary. But when I started reading, I just couldn't stop. The art is amazing 🙂 and story is *whoa*

And those mind-games that Raito and L are playing with each other ... I have to admit, that sometimes I felt dumb, because i couldn't follow their plans *heh*

The first part (till ch58 - ifyouknowwhatimean) is amazing!, but from there on, there's more action.

In short -> this manga is magnificent! You won't regret reading it.

Oh yea... L rocks :giggle:
 
Old thread, I know, but I love this series. One of my friends got me into it at the beginning of the school year and I was a rather rabid reader until around chapter 58 when I became rather disappointed. :eek: I've still read it, but I'm not enjoying it as much as I used to. M and N don't quite cut it and Raito has, well, become un-Raito-ish. I don't want to spoil anything for people.
 
"I don't want to spoil anything for people."

thanks! cause some forum members here LOVE to do that sort of thing :(
anyway, anybody played the game? saw a commerical for it but can't remember if it was a new release or playstation best
 
i loved this manga too, even got my mom into reading it and she likes it. is it still really interesting after ch.58? i just stopped reading after the first part..i couldn't get over what happened >.<! and i didn't think i'd quite move on from there. i guess i'll give it another try
 
☝ There's a game? I never would have imagined that it would get a game. The plot line seems a bit odd to have a video game for it, but that's probably just me. It makes sense though, most of the DN fans are rabid enough to get it. 😊

@ Rika: I'm not too sure. It's interesting, but it's not the same. There's a certain amount of charm and franticness that the conflict between L and Raito brought that isn't there anymore. A lot of people were telling me that it gets better the more Near and Mello are allowed to develop as characters, but I still think that Raito has been deteriorating as a character.:eek:

As amazing as this manga is, I would be rather disappointed if they made an anime out of it. I just get the feeling that they would do something completely wrong or deviate from the plot and have odd little sub plots as fillers with no real need for it. Although it is not that bad of an occurance, I still could never see this as an anime. I get the feeling they would ruin it as they ruined Rurouni Kenshin and Fullmetal Alchemist.:eek:

(Note, if I put any spoilers in a post for any reason, they'll be typed in white so people who don't want them don't have to read them. ^^)
 
oo.. thanx for that..i'll go to the manga shop to get part 2 and continue reading. i just hope i'll get over my heart-broken-ness :( (opps that isn't a word,hehe. i didn't know how to put it >.<; or is it broken-heartedness? ☝ )

ettoo..death note anime..i think they will make it(hopefully with amazing soundtrack ^^).. and i'll get the part1 no matter what 😊 it is really a genius,ne? that someone can think of a plot like this manga👍
 
Nothing horrid happens until chapter 58 which is around volume 7, I think. I'm not quite sure. 😌 I've read up to chapter 65 and that's around where it starts getting really interesting again. The rest is important, but it's just setting up the next section, so to speak.

If they do make it, it better have a kick-@ss soundtrack. :box: I know that it probably wouldn't be too far off the plot, but I've seen too many anime where the manga came first and was far better than the show.
 
hai hai! :haihai: in animes, they cut out the fun parts/little happenings from the manga because it wasn't important and doesn't affect the storyline. sadly, i like those parts a lot when i read the manga, but when i watched the anime, they didn't exist at all and skipped to the next plot. :mad: but anyway, it didn't really affect me and i equally like both of them.:-)

i'll be happy if deathnote has an anime. it will be even more famous and more ppl will know about it.:-)
 
um .. really? and i was kinda looking forward to continue reading part2 after bought it yesterday..btw deathnote isn't animated yet. we're just talking about it if it got animated..😌

Kiyomi, no offence intended, but would you be so kind as to change spoilers to white. 😌 Not everyone has gotten that far. But I must agree. It's not the same. Near making an @ss out of Raito is quite interesting but Mello is just creepy. :eek:

How far have you read? I'm up to chapter 66, but that's as much as I have, I should probably go and get more. Hmm. I know there's up to chapter 91 translated by various people. I just haven't bothered to get it. :p
 
hey.. does anyone have the site to their profiels and pistures?
i read the chinese version for the manga,, i hope to know their real name

"i've only read the manga. it got kinda boring"

*sigh* why did i look at this thread
oh yeah, that's right -- to announce that its being released in america by viz for $7.99 a book

it never fails -- some know-it-all in these forums wants to look "kuuuul" by giving away key parts of the storyline before others have even had a chance to enjoy it...
didn't work though :(

too bad they already had casting.. :( kirito from Pierrot would be so perfect for L.

the clothes, posture and ruggedness of him in this photoshoot looks like L so much. wonder if he knows that or he intentionally did it
