Synopsis

Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects--and he's bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. 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 when criminals begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer. With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of his noble goal…or his life?

Both sort of dark and tactical 'games', and a similar character.

the two main characters of these mangas have only one objective : to cleanse the world. actually, lost+brain is more brutal tan death note because the main character kills even his closest FRIENDS. while on death note, light only kills those who oppose him. read the manga and see for yourself!

Alright, first let me say that, the manga is infinitely better than the anime. INFINITELY. But, with that being said, I believe the manga should have ended at chapter 58/59.

However, the first half was so ridiculously good, that I just couldn't give the manga a bad score.

With that being said, on to the details.

I'm glad I waited until this series was finished before I started. Considering I finished all 108 chapters in less than twenty-four hours, I'm not sure how I would have survived if I'd started earlier.

STORY - Morals and ethics are serious business, and it isn't often that they're addressed so directly in a series. The lines that people draw vary greatly from individual to individual, and the last thing any writer wants is to severely offend any portion of its pot... read more
