Death Note Short Stories

Product Information

Death Note es uno de los mangas más importantes de los últimos años. Aborda temas muy inquietantes como el sentido de la justicia y la deriva egoísta y la ignorancia de la sociedad actual mediatizada y pasto fácil de mesías y políticos de soluciones y discursos fáciles. It's a day in L's life. Find out how he sleeps, uses the toilet, washes himself, gets dressed, and entertains himself. Siempre se vuelve al primer amor (? 😊 Y no hay mejor forma de hacerlo que con historias alternativas, breves en este caso, pero igual de atrapantes. While there isn't much action in this installment, there is quite a bit of lore added to the universe of the Death Note. There are also plenty of cameos from fan-favorite characters such as Near, and depictions of how Light Yagami changed the world. Also spooky that no matter how smart you are, you will always die at the hand of a shinigami (if you hold the death note).

Now a high school student, Minoru accepts the notebook from Ryuk, but he has no plans to use it himself. With the Shinigami's help, and his own ingenuity, he auctions it off anonymously as his actions are followed and predicted by Near. The United States of America buys it for a sum that leaves every Japanese citizen under the age of 60 set for life, but the King of Death creates a new rule of the Death Note that thwarts Minoru and the U.S. President's plans. This manga includes a variety of stories that are adjacent to, but not part of, the main narrative in the Death Note series. Here is what's included:When Death Note Short Stories isn’t focused on different Kiras using the notebook, it offers a couple of different gag comics with the original cast. Along with the 4-panel comic strips that focus on things like “Ryuk’s existential crisis about Misa carving apples into bunnies” are stories that focus on everyone’s favorite “I sit awkwardly and live on candy” detective, L. It’s a nice little break between the main plots going on. Then we get two stories, “One Day” and “Wammy’s House,” featuring the sweets-loving detective, L. These stories give us a glimpse of L’s life before his cat-and-mouse game with Light. It’s a mind-altering take on L’s personality and how he became the person he was. I personally felt sorry for this popular character and the life he’s led, but grateful that he had Wammy in his life.

This book collects the short stories that are set in the Death Note universe that have been published throughout the years. Overall all the stories were great and added more depth to the world that has been established in the original novels. My favorite stories from this collection were that of a-kira and Taro Kagami. The first is set in more of a modern setting which causes complications in that surveillance and technology have advanced to the point of making it difficult for the new death note holder to get what they want. The second story of Kagami was interesting in that it added a new twist to the story and serves as sort of a prologue of sorts to the series. I'm going to combine my thought on these two short stories here. These are vignettes of L's life. Bizarre, wholesome, and somehow even shorter than the previous section I just mentioned. Although quite good, these two short stories probably won't leave you with a lasting impression due to their, at max, 5 minutes long reading time.Overall, I think it goes without saying that Death Note Short Stories is strictly recommended to fans of Death Note. I don't think anyone who hasn't read or watched Death Note should start their journey into this series from here. But if you are a fan of Death Note, and you're reading this review, yes, you should read this. Don't expect something as mind-blowing as the main series, but this collection of short stories should suffice as an extra parting gift to fans of Death Note like I am. At the very least, you can enjoy seeing Takeshi Obata's spectacular artworks again, which is a blessing to this world. If I remember right, there was some Death Note rule-changing in the original series, so the rule change in this story didn't bother me much. It made sense that, one way or another, the Shinigami would always win.
