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.

Re reading the series for the first time since I was 14. Favorite characters are definitely still L and Ryuk. Love Ryuk’s fashion style. An icon. Honestly don’t care abt anyone else yet lol. But I’m enjoying it for the nostalgia.
