Death Note: Black Edition, Vol. 2 by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata and Yuki Kowalsky

Light, working as Kira and L in the NPA intelligence bureau, has nearly succeeded in creating his ideal world, but the years of victory have made him complacent and unprepared for a new attack. When his younger sister Sayu is kidnapped for a ransom of the Death Note, Light must travel across the world and confront two new adversaries.

Psychological manga at its best. Two iconic characters (Light and L). Amazing plot, with surprises at every turn. Great Anime adaptation.

I finally gave this a try! I loved it! So cool... I don't think I'd use the death note myself, even though it may be intriguing to delete bad people from existence lol. I'll read the other volumes for sure! I don't think I'll watch the anime though. Yagami is soo smart on his plans, it's crazy!

This is a great story. It has a legendary status in the manga world and rightfully so. Our main character Light Yagami finds a notebook (of death) belonging to Ryuk the shinigami (a demon of some sorts). Basically, if you write a name in it, that person will die. A character named only as L has been assigned to stop him.

The story made me think about good and evil. What would you do if you found yourself in a situation like Light? There are a lot of twists and turns that make the story interesting and exciting to read. The art is just like all the other manga I have read. It doesn't stand out like Vagabond, but it isn't bad either. As far as I know this edition of the manga has a bigger page size and contains two volumes in one book. The sides of the paper are black, it's a beautiful edition.

Even for people that normally don't read manga I would recommend this story.

That is my second manga but first read as a physical book. It's definitely is an interesting experience. I was engaged in the story and I'm looking forward to reading the next volumes.
