I won’t spoil what happens when she’s introduced, but her arrival is a huge turning point in the mental battle between Light and L. Misa is introduced when another shinigami enters Earth, bringing another Death Note. Throughout the series, more and more characters are introduced that take the story into new directions such as my favourite, Misa Amane. And as the series continues, with Light (Kira) and L outwitting each other back and forth, we begin to see Light’s character and morals change significantly. But although there are shinigami, this story feels more grounded in reality as it questions what justice really is and whether evil criminals deserve to die. On the surface, Death Note comes across as a series grounded in fantasy. At this point, the public and the investigators begin to refer to the one behind the killings as Kira. But later in the series, an independent taskforce, led by a mastermind known simply as L, begins to notice the patterns of these criminal deaths, and therefore an investigation begins to threaten Light’s plans for justice. So with the new found power of the Death Note, Light’s morality begins to shift into a gray area, as he starts using it to kill only criminals. Light, who is the son of a detective, has been studying hard in school solely for the purpose of bringing justice to the world like his father. Ryuk makes himself known to Light Yagami, and makes it clear that he is simply there to monitor Light, and that Light may use the Death Note as he sees fit, and he could even discard it if he wishes. They’re also able to see the shinigami who owns it. When a human touches the Death Note, they’re granted the ability to write other human names in it and take their life. The Death Note is a tool of the shinigami to take human life and extend their own. Protagonist, Light Yagami finds the Death Note at school and begins reading its rules. The premise of the story is that a shinigami named Ryuk from the other realm becomes bored and decides to pay a visit to Earth realm and drop a Death Note there to see what will happen, strictly out of amusement. I decided I would start reviewing some of the manga series’ that I’ve read starting with my favourite one so far… Death Note.ĭeath Note is a psychological-thriller written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata. Lately I’ve been addicted to manga, as you may have seen in another post.
