Death Note: How to Read

そうだ、僕がキラだ。

Ce livre sert de références pour lire la série Death Note il présente les personnages, rappelle beaucoup de choses et est très utile à lire Il s'agit un peu d'un Manga Bonus (comme les éditions DVD collector avec bonus )

Este tomo número 13, que no pertenece a la historia principal de Death Note, es muy interesante si estás interesado en conocer detalles de la vida de los personajes, incluyendo el nombre real de L en una carta muy bien presentada pero quizá algo incómoda que se sitúa justo antes de la primera página. También hay entrevistas con los creadores de la obra, y un par de detalles sobre escenas que no aparecen en los mangas, de los que no puedo decir nada por no hacer spoilers. Compra recomendada si te gustó Death Note y no te importa leerlo en inglés!

Death Note is an amazing comic. Not only that, but unique, fresh. Before I recommend this "volume 13" to anybody, I recommend the actual comic, 12 volumes of Death Note. Now, if you are a fan, if you've read all 12 volumes, if you care about the authors: this book is for you. If you haven even heard about this series, are a creative mind, an artist or writer: you will highly value this book. This book is two things in one. When v13 was first released I saw it in bookstores and immediately pulled it off and scanned through it. What is this?! To my ignorance, I put it back thinking it was just a bunch of random "death note" facts and fanservice tossed into a book to rake in the money off of the fanboys and girls. And this is true, this is one of the two things this book is: a product to make money off of the fans. This book includes all sorts of "facts" and character bios, in depth ideas and surface analyzing of the twists. All of which are not written by either of the authors. If this is what you want, go ahead, waste your money on this book. Now, for the rest of you, for the comic-artist, the writer, the creative, or the curious, buy this book. The second thing this book is, is a... bible almost, a box of knowledge and intrigue. This book is literally divided in two. If you look at the book from the side you can see that there are alternating patches of black and white pages. Everything black is part of the first thing, fanservice, pointless analizations. Everything from the white part is the gold. It's the raw stuff, straight from the authors. The toro of tuna guys. I can not tell you how much this book is valued to me as a comic artist. There are interviews with both of the authors, and each. There are "questionnaires" which I believe the questions may have come from fans, but are still greatly interesting. The last section includes the "pilot" chapter of Death Note. One part has Ohba explaining each character, why he choose them and the issues regarding their creation and/or death. This book, the second part of it pays for the first part, maybe a few times over. You will learn about how each author thinks, insight into the Japanese style of publication and serialization, how the authors interacted throughout, what surprised the authors, what they cared about, and more. Rarely do we have such raw data right from such amazing artists and writers all in one spot. This is the case with Death Note Volume 13 "how to read". Check it out.

Really went above and beyond for this one, it’s the last death note guide you’ll need
