Death Note - (manga)
There are dozens of famous anime's and manga's out there in today's world and many of them very interesting and exciting to read or watch. One of my favourite manga/anime's in my opinion, which I read as a manga, is Death Note. Death note isn't as main stream as lot of more commonly known anime's, however it's very well known to anime fans and is widely considered one of the best.
Death Note is a story about a high school student named Light Yagami who is extremely intelligent and crafty. Essentially what happens next is Light finds a book called the death note and if he writes someones name inside it, that person will die of a heart attack within 40 seconds of their name being written. The book even allows for the writer to state how they want their victims to die if they want another method aside from a heart attack. The story basically revolves around Light who starts off by using the books power to kill criminals, but the power of the book eventually gets to his head to the point where he starts killing off whoever he chooses. Attached to the death note is a death god (shinigami) who is the true owner of the book. The story gets very intricate and interesting as it progresses after more characters are introduced. The other main character simply named L is a genius detective who tries to put an end to Light's killing spree. It becomes a back and forth battle throughout the story as the two try to out smart each other in unorthodox ways. The story is incredibly interesting and grabs your attention from the beginning to the end. Overall Death Note is an amazing story 12 volumes long. Its not for young audiences however, but is an excellent read or viewing for a more mature crowd.
