Death Note

I just finished reading the final volume of Deathnote. This AWESOME 12 volume series follows Light Yagami who finds a Deathnote. The Deathnote comes from the realm of the Shinigami or death gods.Ryuk, a shinigami drops his Deathnote on earth and so the story begins. But the most important personal experience for me was discovering that Ryuk, the death god possesses many characteristics which I find appealing. He’s tall and slim and has cool sense of fashion – he has a black punk look with spikey hair that totally suits him. He is always smiling and laughing and enjoys the moment. He’s not afraid to ask questions when he doesn’t understand something. And he loves apples, which is not only healthy but cool. Aside from the whole death god thing, he’s totally cool.

There is also a movie and sequel – I saw the fist one but not the second movie. The first movie was very good but obviously varied from the book due to time constraints or other artist reason. And the anime series, which I now plan to watch as well.
