Reviews with content warning for Murder - Death Note 01: Aburrimiento

I picked up the book because I thought the premise was interesting and I think this first volume definitely delivers on that. It handles it in a way that's compelling by giving you just enough information to know what's going on but not enoug to blow the mystery aspect. I highly recommend giving this manga a try if it sounds interesting.

I watched the Deathnote tv show while I was in High School, but I’ve been wanting to read the comic for a while as well.

Such a fascinating concept! The character of Light is also interesting. He is the protagonist, and believes that what he is doing is moral, but acts as more of an antagonist in the world that he lives in. He’s not really an antihero, but he’s not really a villain. His character is written like a hero, but he doesn’t act like one would.

The idea of the Death Note is also unique and opens up opportunities for different plot lines.

I’m excited to continue reading this series. Thankfully I have a terrible memory, so I can still be surprised at it, lol.

A slow start but the end of the volume I became more interested. I might just continue on this series just because I’m curious about where this could possibly go! I also really enjoy Ryuk as a character and am excited to see more of this Shinigami’s personality in future volumes.

Fantastic, gripping story that will suck you in and make you want to read deep into the night. It’s intense and often humorous. It loses one star for being misogynistic; there are some moments when Light (the main character) disregards female characters, and one scene where he contemplates holding a woman down by force so she can’t reveal his secret.
