Manga: Death Note
-
This is currently my favourite manga. The plot, chars and artwork is a refreshing breathe of air compared to many popular mangas out there which seem pretty similar. I got sucked into the plot and what is interesting is the gothic element in the artwork and that the "hero"does not fit into the usual "good guy" role. It's interesting to see how his vision of creating an utopia quickly turned into a game of wits for survival.
Summary of Plot
Raito (Light) Yagami is a genius, but bored, high school student who feels that the whole world is a rotten mess, filled with crime and corruption. His attitude quickly changes when he finds a mysterious notebook with the title "Death Note" on it, lying on the ground during the year 2003. Although initially skeptical, after realizing that the "Death Note" is a Shinigami's tool with the power to kill anyone whose name is written on its pages, Light decided to use it to "cleanse" the world of evil.
Soon, the many unexplainable deaths of reported criminals are noticed, and Light becomes hunted by the Japanese police force and a mysterious detective known as "L". L quickly discovers that the murderer, that the publics dubs "Kira", is located in Japan, and that he can kill just by knowing someone's face and name. Light realizes that L is just as cunning, if not more intelligent than himself, and begins a cat and mouse chase with L to see who will be the first to have his identity exposed.
