Ah, Death Note. Not your ordinary manga story. I could honestly see something like this happen in real life, minus the shinigami and creepy death notebook.

When I first saw Death Note I was like, "ew." But then my friend told me to read it, and he even brought it to school. I wasn't going to pass up an opportunity to read manga when I saw it, so I read it. I fell in love with the first volume. The first chapter honestly isn't so, "OMG I NEED TO KEEP READING" but it's more like, "Hm, interesting. Turn the page..." few chapters later..." OMG THIS IS AWESOME!!!"

What I really like about Death Note is that it's a real battle. Not a battle that's made with magical weapons and awesome powers, but a battle between who's right and who's wrong. And finally who reigns supreme. The two main characters, Light and L are some seriously badass geniuses. The battle is so tight you always wonder what happens next. What's their next plan? What's their next move? What about now? Keeps me awake all night thinking about it. XD

The reason I gave the character a 9 is because I hate the way Light is portrayed. I understand why, but it's just ew. And also sometimes, you can't tell when a character is good or bad because they're just that vague. But overall, it's an amazing story a definite good read that will NOT disappoint you :)
