Death Note: Special One-Shot - Free to read at Viz

[icon_uk]

For fans of "Death Note", Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's (writer and illustrator respectively) seminal manga (and anime, and live action movie), which ended fourteen years ago, it was something of a surprise to hear that it's returning for an 88 page one-shot.




It's available to read for free on viz.com!

It concern's Ryuk (the demonic death entity whose magic notebook is the introductory plot device of the series) returning for a new game with humanity



And it's political targetting this time is NOT subtle



But there's a new twist to the old rules as Ryuk, the demonic entity whose notebook the Death Note is, explains...







I won't spoil what the outcome of the scene is, but it does seem like something a LOT of politicans would do.

This is, apparently, not a major plot point, just one of the most discussed scenes.

Death Note was probably the first manga I read. It was incredibly addictive although I think the second half is not as good.

I do prefer the manga ending though.

I think I liked the first two movies the most.

I don't think I've ever met anyone who likes the second half better than (or even as much as) the first. The most I'll hear is that they really liked the last two chapters or so, because they hate Light that damn much.
