lol I <3 you! Yeah, Death Note is the awesome. At one point, when I was actually spoiled that a character that I liked a bit was about to die. I got so ticked and just stopped reading it. But a friend of mine told me that it still gets better after that, so I started reading again. I am so happy I did, I am now frantically shaking and rocking back and forth in my chair after the brutal cliffhanger chapter 102 left me off with. *fetal position* Must... wait... for... scansub...
Oh, and if anyone has read as far as me and knows which death I am talking about, please don't spoil it for everyone else! :3

I read the preview in Shonen Jump. It seemed interesting.

Death Note is a great manga, but it's a little dialogue-heavy and might be too complex for people who prefer lighter, fluffier things. Not to mention Light is not a particularly well-developed character (at times he feels like a contrived plot device more than anything).
Despite that, Death Note is still one of the better manga out there. It's got so many slash opportunities....
Alright, alright. But it does. Light and L handcuff themselves together lyk ZOMGZ!!!!

I love Go-Devil-Dante's Death note art in Dev. It's absoulty fricking fanstatic.
I'm debating to either get D-Gray Man or Death Note after I'm done with RuroKen.

I have a friend who's obsessed with Death Note. Now I seriously want to read it... And I want to see the live action movie that's coming out soon as well. ;D
...Light's name is actually RAITO... Viz sucks at translating. -_-;

...Light's name is actually RAITO... Viz sucks at translating. -_-; I personally prefer Light to Raito, mainly because I first started reading with the Viz translation, so that's just what I was introduced to first. Even TOWNL, who does the most accurate and cleanest Death Note translations around switch to Light a while ago. I used to love Matsuda-san so much, but when part 2 started (after the 5 year jump) he seemed suspiciously too much of a Kira fan and since then has just been naive, ignorant, and annoying. That's a shame, Matsuda used to be the greatest. ;_; Hey... I just took a character quiz and I got Misa-Misa. >_> I'm insulted to be categorized so annoying. Feel free to take the quiz yourself here.

Death note is pure genius of you think about it...Two genius going at it just draws me more and more into the story...And Ryuk is awesome..I hope i spelled that right..And does everyone here knows there coming out with a Death Note movie in Jap..The graphics for Ryuk is absolutely amazing..Looks just like the drawn version of him...@_@..L is cool...No I mean he's awesome..but it seems to me he needs a lot of sleep...but he is still pure genius and dresses like a poor school student when he's rich...

I bought the first manga yesterday. And it's really good, though, not too much action in it so far. I like the way he planned that last muder at the very end, clever. Or how he planned the way to hide the Death Note, that was clever as well, and Light is quite looker.

Just read the first one. Planning on getting the second one. Anime? Yay! ...Light's name is actually RAITO... Viz sucks at translating. -_-; Actually, Raito would be the Japanese way of pronouncing Light. They say their "L" sounds like "Rs'

Actually, they've got 6 volumes out in English and the 7th is going to be released tomorrow. It can already be found in lots of book stores though. The manga is finished, it's got 12 volumes and around 104 chapters. Anyone who gets past volume 7 and sticks with the series, I applaud you. Some people just give up after that, and I think it's pretty dumb.

Thank you Pera! I'll be brave and stick with buying a few more and see if I really love it!
I was looking on LJ for Death Note icons, and I saw a very disturbing one, L and Light were literally kissing, hopefully one of them was either A) having a nightmare, or B) They really were kissing each other.
I guess I'm kinda used to the yaoi by now, seeing how we're ALL twincest fans!
