Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects - and he's bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. 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?

Brilliant. Ingenious. Masterpiece.
So says one who has just been exposed to manga for the very first time through this ever-popular title; one so famous that I've heard of it long before this mammoth 2,400-page all-in-edition was ever released.
As this is my first-ever manga, I can't draw upon experience in this genre to provide a meaningful benchmark. However, manga or novel, one reads for the storytelling and its characters. In both aspects, Death Note excels beyond any shadow of a doubt. Kira, the protagonist in Death Note has to be one of the most complex grimdark characters I've encountered and I find myself being torn between cheering him on towards his ultimate goal and being disgusted with his methods to achieve it.
There are two major arcs in the entire series, with the first one being slightly longer as well as way more compelling than the final one. I'll just call it the Battle of Two Geniuses - one of the best and most captivating rivalries I've ever read. Although it suffered in comparison, the second arc is still a great cohesive continuation of the story to get us to the climax; slowly building up to a mind-blowing endgame.
The art is something else to behold, and this all-in-one edition also compiles the covers of the original published volumes. I often find myself flipping through the book and staring (perhaps even drooling) at the gorgeous artwork.
While I am not sure if I will try more mangas in the future, this is one that I will definitely come back to via the very well-acclaimed anime version. The Netflix interpretation just made me cringe and laugh.
Last but not least, I will like to end this quick review by thanking my dear friend, Mary, for getting me this incredible thing of beauty for Christmas.
