The 12-volume Death Note (tankoubon) totals a total of 108 chapters plus a special volume titled How to Read 13 which contains explanations, profiles, chronologies of Death Note stories from beginning to end, and one short story of Jump Comics has long published this comic to graduate, while for M & C, just published until the 6th volume. AnimeDeath Note has also been released for a long time.
In addition to the Anime version, Death Note is also made Live Action version The screen width consists of two parts, Death Note and Death Note: The Last Name. The plan will be released the third movie Death Note titled L in 2008.
This manga tells the story of Death Note deliberately dropped by Ryukk, a Shinigami (angel of death, reaper) into the human world, where if someone's name is written in the book, then the person will soon die. The book was later discovered by Yagami Raito (Light Yagami), a child genius student of a Japanese police inspector.
Raito initially did not believe in the power of the Death Note, but after he tried and succeeded, he began to believe. Coupled with the appearance of Ryukk who will always follow the person who found his Death Note. With his genius, Raito then plans to use the book to create a clean and new world of evil (utopia) with himself as a god.
Although it sounds unreasonable, the police begin to feel there is someone behind all the events that befell the criminals. Raito who uses the power of Death Note is now referred to as Kira (Killer in Japanese dialect) and is considered a god by those who pro with Raito's actions.
Police then asked for help to an international detective whose face was never seen before. The detective calls herself L. By trapping Raito, L begins to realize that Kira (Raito) can kill someone at a distance even without touching him.
The mystical or imaginary element is not so prominent in this manga.
Between the Manga and Live Action versions the wide screen clearly plot the story differently. But if told to choose which story I like, I prefer the live action version of her, because the story is not so long and convoluted. Although the storyline is different, there remains an equation between Live Action and its manga.
One of them, the last scene (when climax) exactly with manganya. In the Live Actionnya version, Raito Yagami is played by Tatsuya Fujiwara, while L is played by Kenichi Matsuyama. Even without I make a review, Death Note fans have been pretty much in Indonesia. But since the official publication has not come out long, I think this manga needs to be made a synopsis. As in this city where I live, there are still many comic fans who do not know Death Note.
