Got this good-condition softcover at a local thrift shop, for another release copy. Perhaps it'll introduce someone else to this intriguing series.

The concept: a shinigami (a kind of usher-of-souls or death-god) drops his mystical Death Note, which can cause the death of anyone whose name is inscribed in it. A young man finds the note and decides that he can think of a few people who deserve to be killed - but things aren't nearly that simple... [The TV Tropes entry for this series helped to get my attention; it seemed that whenever I browsed that site I'd come across examples from this series!]

Anyway, the series is simply wonderful - great characters, intricate plots, suspense, drama, touches of humor - really marvelous! And I recommend both the pair of live-action films based on the series, as well as the anime series.

Continued in Death Note Vol. 2, Confluence.

I left this book in this seaside LFL this afternoon; hope someone enjoys it!
