I read the Deathnote preview in Shonen Jump and really enjoyed it. Has anyone else read it?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Sorry, never heard of it, sounds like a darkhorse manga. Is it horror or something??? I'm intrigued...

I'm not sure how to describe what kind of manga, I guess in way you can say its horror, but here's what Death Note is about:
Its about an Shinigami (a death god who collects human's souls, like the Grim Reaper) name Ryuk who is bored, so he decides to to have some fun by dropping his Death Note (a notebook that Shinigame use to record the names of the people whose souls they collect) into the human realm. Humans can use the Death Notes to kill, that's what Ryuk is counting on....
A 17-year old boy name Light Yagami, who is a super-achiever, top scores in school, perfect son and brother. He is also bored that is until he finds Ryuk's Death Note. After reading the instructions for using the Death Note, he thinks its a prank so Light wastes no time in trying it out....
Here are the intrustions written in the Death Note
1) The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
2) This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
3) If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack.
4) After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
The artwork by Takeshi Obata (artist of Hikaru no Go) and author Tsugumi Ohba. I thought the preview was pretty good, I just hope that I could get Vol. 1 of the manga when it comes out.

That is exactly what it is about. But I thought it said that there were numerous Shinigami, but only one Grim Reaper. I'll have to look back at that.

It was kind of freaky, and it seems more like a gothic thing. It didn't really interest me......

I read this manga so I'll try my best to explain it.
The preview is basically what roseduelist04 said, but there are some mistakes, so I'll try to correct them.
In my opinion, it's a very interesting and intelligent manga. I don't mean intelligent for what I already said, you'll know why I said that when you read it.
Give it a try, I think you won't regret it!
PD: English isn't the language I'm used to using so I'm sorry if I say something wrong or even weird. That's for all my future posts...

It's not horror, it's suspense.roseduelist04 said:
That's not it. They actually kill people using the Death note, they don't collect their souls. The reason for the gods of the death to kill people is that they aren't actually immortals, but when they kill a human with the notebook, they steal the remaining life-span of that person in order to live forever (humans who use the death note can't do that).roseduelist04 said:
That's not exactly right. Light mentioned that he was bored, but that's after he uses the death note. I don't know whether you forgot or don't know what I'm going to say now, but this is the history of the manga: Light thinks the world is rotten and decides to apply his own justice to create a new world without evil. That's why he finally uses the notebook.roseduelist04 said:

I loved that manga. It kinda freaked me out thought when Light went Psyco at the end. Do you know, they've actually made a real life Movie on the manga?

Let the human mind loose.
I loved it. An excellent thriller as far as I'm concerned. The anime, not so much. The manga was excellent though. It's a fantasy/thriller/horror/crime thing (one of those that doesn't have a genre).

I watched all the Japanese subs when they came out. Easily the most suspenseful animes/mangas out there. Most manga's focus on battles of strength and spirit. This one focuses on battles of wit and intelligence. This one keeps you thinking and the writers are very smart to come up with a plot like that.
