Death Note vol. 1

So thanks to some suggestions here I read my first manga and it was a great success.

Took a little getting used to reading left to right, but once I got the hang of it, it was easy reading.

Death Note is about Light a bright student who discovers a notebook that helps kill people. All you have to do is write their name, optional kind of death otherwise it’s by heart attack, and the person dies. There are strings attached, of course.

Light has decided to make it a better world but will he succeed? The first in a series and I think I will go back to read more, I’m curious about what will happen to Light, and the mysterious L who is out to stop him.

I like the idea of the Death Note and I like how Light thinks he's got it all figured out. I'm guessing in future volumes things don't go quite as planned and that's probably where the fun will come in. I'm also curious about the mysterious L.

I've got some other manga lined up so I won't continue with this series immediately but I will keep it in mind.
