    That thang is THICC
    Looks beautiful. For real, the book cover and case are gorgeous.2,400 pages of awesomeness. The series is incredible by itself, the book is just as good.Although the pages feel *really* thin, the colors (well, just black but yeah lol) are clear and vibrant.Highly recommend it if you enjoyed the Anime.And again, it is one THICC book.

    its good if you wanna save money and space
    its a good book if you want to save money and space, it has a pretty cool sleeve you can put the book in and the book is actually a tiny bit shorter than a normal manga but thicker than an omnibus its a little hard to read the first few pages but when you get use to it its a pretty good book and the story is great

    Best way to own Death Note on a budget
    This is the version to buy if you’re on a budget and want to own the whole series. Does not include Volume 13 “How To Read”. I also got this on sale for $23.99 right here directly from Amazon, so if the price has changed, I might wait until it returns to that price.Physical Item ReviewThe book and slipcase itself are decently put together. The slipcase is basically just cardboard, but it gets the job done and looks nice enough. It’s easy to slide the book in and out of, which is a pleasant surprise given how large and unwieldy the book is. The book itself is full of compromises, but ones that make sense and justify the reduced price of $24. The cover and spine of the book are sturdy, but the pages are extremely thin and you’ll need to be careful turning the page so that you don’t accidentally tear a page. You’ll often be able to see through the page you’re reading to what’s on the other side of the page, but it’s not too distracting. I’m relatively sure this choice was made to cut down on the overall weight of the book, because remember, this is 2400 pages in one hefty tome. Speaking of which, this book is still heavy. I can’t imagine most people will be able to hold this for long without their arms getting tired, so you’ll need something soft to lean this on. The ink on the pages is nice and thick, yet doesn’t seem to smear easily, which is great (I’ve had ink smearing problems with other manga and novels in the past). Nothing feels cheaply printed and everything is easy to read and distinguish on the page. There are even some editors notes from the original Japanese version that are translated into this English version that I found very nice additions. One last minor complaint I have is that the pages are not numbered in any way that makes sense. Some pages have numbers, most do not. This makes jumping around from chapter to chapter on re-reads especially difficult, since it’s hard to tell what page you’re on most of the time.Just hope that it gets wrapped in bubble wrap when it gets shipped to you, because mine wasn’t and one corner of the book and slipcase were noticeably dented. That’s on Amazon.Story ReviewThis is one of the best manga stories I’ve ever read. I don’t want to spoil anything, so I’ll try to be vague. This is an intellectual duel between two very well-defined characters that are similar in some ways, and polar opposites in others. It’s a cat-and-mouse game with the future of the world at stake, and it all feels well thought out and reminds me of the essence of the ideological battle between Batman and The Joker. Death Note does not rely on action to tell its story because it doesn’t need it. If you’re looking for explosions and guns and punching, this isn’t the series for you. If you want incredibly well-written drama and intelligent characters, this might be a new favorite for you. If you’ve watched the anime already, you’ll definitely love the original manga, because the anime is practically a 1-to-1 adaptation of the manga.Art ReviewI’m not much of an art critic, but I wanted to make special note of how well drawn everything is in this series. It feels like every panel tells you exactly what you need to know, whether it be visually and without dialogue or with only a character’s face and some dialogue, and doesn’t clutter the panels with unnecessary filler. Facial expressions are of utmost importance in this series, and they’re done extremely well and they almost never feel over the top (except when appropriate, and it’s rare).Overall, this is well worth the $24 I paid for it, and am glad I bought it. It’s not perfect, but it does a lot for how little it cost and I recommend it to anyone looking to buy this series on a budget. If money is no object to you, however, I would probably recommend buying the original 12 volumes in its box set (plus the bonus features Volume 13 How To Read), or the 6 volumes of the Black Edition instead (two volumes per Black Edition for the full 12), because those would be easier to take with you if you plan on reading away from home.

    High quality, great value
    This book is obviously quite large, so if you have tiny hands it would be difficult to read, but I found reading it by placing it on a table in front of you is the best way to read it without straining your hands. Pages are kinda thin (expected for 2400 pages) but the print is high quality.I was also worried about breaking the spine while reading but the spine seems to have a natural bend to it, which kept it from breaking throughout my entire read. The front and back covers got a little worn, but again is to be expected when you’re reading such a large book. The sleeve is great to keep the book protected when not in use.Definitely recommend this if you want Death Note Manga in your collection for a good price.
