Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. But when criminals begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer. With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of his noble goal...or his life? Light tests the boundaries of the Death Note's powers as L and the police begin to close in. Luckily Light's father is the head of the Japanese National Police Agency and leaves vital information about the case lying around the house. With access to his father's files, Light can keep one step ahead of the authorities. But who is the strange man following him, and how can Light guard against enemies whose names he doesn't know?

There are a limited number of manga series that can be considered worldwide hits. Rather surprisingly, considering the amount of dialogue and seriousness of a story that the author had doubted would be accepted as a Shounen (young boy) Jump title even in Japan, Death Note became one of those titles. When a story about someone in our world finding a killing tool Death Gods use (and killing anyone they view as evil with to create a better world) becomes so successful it's a little special - it isn't every day that a story where words and not fists are used as weapons becomes this popular. Death Note has become so popular that there have even been stories on the American news about kids at school getting suspended after notebooks were found on them with details of deaths written inside!My first encounter with Death Note was with the anime. I saw discussions about it on a forum I used to visit frequently just after the anime started airing in Japan and what I read interested me, a lover of dark and depressing stories, enough to download the first episode. I was blown away by the quality of the story, the mix of real world and fiction blending superbly. Every episode thrilled me more than the last during the first section of the story, never allowing me to remove myself from the edge of my seat. I watched all 37 episodes weekly and was very rarely disappointed.Fast forwarding to the recent past, I discovered a Death Note manga box set was coming out by chance. I put in a pre-order with as soon as I found out about it, later cancelling to order from a cheaper store (I paid £39).
Let me first start off by saying that Death Note is one of my most favorite mangas of all time. It provides a hearty portion of suspense, plot twists, great artwork, and superiority to most other mangas out there that have become popular. Now then, on to the product!The box arrived quickly as said! Great job to for that detail. The manga box set was inside a larger box with air packets surrounding it to prevent damage. It could have been a little tighter because I could shake the box around and hear it slide inside, but it arrived with no damage what so ever. After opening the packaging box, we come to the manga box set itself.The art on this box set is beyond fantastic! One side, which is the front, is covered in a glossy black topped by a cross made of bones with the title "Death Note" written across it in a certain style that is oh so typical for this manga. The rest of the box set is one huge picture that spans the other three sides of the box depicting the Shinigami. On the top there is a handle for easy carrying which I found I quite enjoyed.To open the box set, you have to go to the top and there is velcro keeping the lid attached to the top. Just pull it up and the front will come open revealing all the manga volumes and two extras. The volumes themselves were in excellent condition! No damage what so ever and they were of a nicer quality than you would expect.The only complaints I really have are that you have to tilt the box set over and kind of shake it so the spines of the volumes protrude, and you can get them out, otherwise you'd be trying to stick your finger between the volume and the box to get it out, damaging the box.
