Maybe he's buying Shounen Jump?
58 comes out this week. The scans are 1 week early.
> The scans are 1 week early.
Er, how do they manage that?
They're printed before they officially go on sale, and there's a leak somewhere along the line, apparently.
In anycase, it'll be a looong wait for the next death note chapters.. I really hope jump isn't forcing the author to change the story to last longer.
Think it'll end soon?
It seems to be gearing up for another big plot twist now, so I doubt it.
And the plot twists, and goes on a holiday. Bastards.
I doubt it will end for a while, I can't see Jump letting a series this popular run for less than 10 volumes, they'll definately keep it running as long as possible. I have a feeling they want the second "part" to be as long as the first one.
I keep hearing about this manga and it sounds awesome. But I can't find it for download. I checked that link above but it's not working. Would someone be willing to send all of Death Note to me? I know that's time consuming but I'd deeply appreciate it.
It's been licensed by Viz, apparently.

I've just got a quick question. I'm on chapter 16, and Yagami starts talking about feeding the Shinigami apples. He starts talking about this as an aside, as if it was mentioned before. Where did this come from? I certainly never read anything about apples in the preceding chapters. Thanks.
Death Note is terrible these days. (；´Д｀); It makes me want to die...
Eep don't tell me that! I have a feeling it is going to seem overextended soon...
I just finished reading chapter 63 .. Man, this is one of the best mangas I've ever read. The only problem is that whenever you try to describe it, you can't even spill some other characte's name out besides "Kira" or L because it would spoil a good part of it.
Can't wait for next chapter translation Y_Y
about the apples.. haven't you seen shinigami eating apples? don't you follow the pics??
It's kinda sad how Deathnote crapped out. It started out as a unique and suspenseful story but now it's just dragged on way too long. They should've ended the whole series, or at least the plotline involving L and Kira, with the Yotsuba corporation story arc. Instead it just keeps slogging along into mediocrity.
Hmm... I stopped reading at chapter 20-something. I just hate Raito that much.
But I loved L. I'm saddened to hear of his death. ;_;
I've finished reading volume 8 of Deathnote which was issued on Sept.
Volume. 9 will be issued on comming Dec.
The sarcasm of the soliloquy of Ryuku is the most interesting. to me.

Please. check the difference of Near's face between magazin(left)
and comics(right). Which do yo like?
>>33
They're almost identical in some areas, aren't they?
I haven't read DN that far yet to know this character, so I cannot really say which design I like better. I like the rougher screentones which were used for the comics design, though.
>>30
I've just started reading the official release by Viz and I also found this somewhat odd. At first, it just seemed like he wanted to eat them but in Volume 3 it's almost like he HAS to eat them.
The apples are delicious.
Seems like the story can happen in real world ,hah
Heh, yeah if Shinigami did really exit. =P But in all seriousness, there are people out there in the world like Light, sorry, Raito (I hate that name, looks like rat or something...) who would use "divine justtice" as a means of killing people.
is anyone still translating them? i looked at the site from >>1 but they haven't been updated for over a year...
>>39
Doubt it since Viz has been releasing it for a short while now. Go pick it up; Viz did a decent job with the translation and are comming out at a steady pace.
Raito is meaning "Light" in Japan.
I came from 2ch's board called "ニュー速VIP".
I didn't know there's a site like 2ch here.
So,I'll come here once or twice a week.

"Death Note" is one of the most famous "manga" in Japan.
It is a manga publishing in "Syounen Jump".
Does your country(America) have nice manga?
L is Dead

( ﾟ∀ﾟ)彡 boobs！boobs！

うおのぞき
Does everyone know making into a film?
The known person must raise my hand.
(´･ω･`)ノ
I heard that the Shonen Jump is sold less than 3 bucks in Japan,but Here in canada, It's around 10 buckｓ(´･ω･`) and also transelated comics cost more than 10 bucks!
that's horrible.
It's too expensive for "NEET"(this is exactly proper term that describes me...）
I'm wondering how much do you guys spend money for manga.
I spend 50 bucks each month to get commics from my poor budget.
Oh! I wish I were in Japan!
(´･ω･`)ノ
>>69
（＾∀＾）DIE!
>>67
JUMP was used to be about 1
dollar in japan about 15years ago
now it's about 2 dollars (230yen)
but there are so many simular magazines
so anyway we need alot of money for comics
>>73
over here, shonen jump is one of the two or three magazines that run. the other one is shoujo beat, which is a girl's equivalent of jump. they're $5, monthly and much smaller than the japanese Jump. coamix tried to sell their raijin comics magazine weekly, but not many were willing to pay $5 a week, and it failed.
volumes of a single series (same format as japanese tankoubon) run anywhere from $10 (most common) to $20. most manga never run in manga magazines, but go straight to book form.
>>67 a friend of mine and I... when we were really bored... actually figured it up and discovered that it would be cheaper to wipe with Jump than to buy toilet paper in Japan.. XD;
also, like 3 days after a manga goes on sale in its "tankouban" format, you can buy it at the used book shop "Book-off" for half the price :3
that's how cheap manga is here.
I really like Death Note. I've read up to 106 (translated) and it looks like it will end soon...
Has 107 been released yet?
Ryuk wrote Light's name.
Light was dead.
It is true.
Light was killed by Ryuk.
I gave up reading just after L died. Then I read this latest chapter just for fun. Did I miss anything at all? It didn't really seem like it.
Yes, Light seems pretty dead.
He was really too confident when going to the warehouse, must've lost his mind along the way.
Page.108 is the final chapter.
And the ending kindda suxxx
Wow, I read a translation by "gto0o", and it was one of the worst translations ever. Do people actually READ that?

anyone heard about the death note movie that was just released in japan two days ago?
I know it got #1 in the boxoffice, but I didn't hear if it was acutally good or not.
Ryuk looks awsome in the movie, i heard some people said it was great and completly follows the manga cept they added a extra character. you can find the trailer in youtube.com
looks great from what i've seen
I read all of Death Note, and I liked it up until the end of the L Arc. Light rule! Then... in the Near and Mello arc, it kind of went down hill and Light lost in the end. Its not fair... I was rooting for him from the beginning T~T
I'm so excited to see the Death Note movie... though I haven't yet. lol I wanna see it >.<!
Am I the only one who thinks this manga is boring as hell? No wonder the Light/L pairing is considered canon, you can't get much more homosexual than staring at eachother and attempting to read eacother's thoughts for five chapters straight.
The art's great, but jeez. The Tribute album is also awesome. :D
PS: Matsuda shoots Light in the head and arms
I got bored to tears when Misa came.
Yup, I gave up at volume three-- Misa's introduction. I think they had a decent concept, and Light was a well written character (Personality however, is a completely different matter). As for the monkey man, I don't care about L. :S He's a hikikomori who finally decided to get a tan. whoopdeedoo.
The L / Light mind battles were pretty boring as well. It was all these constant face shots accompanied by "BLAH BLAH DICK". Man, I was so bored. ~
Death Note = 16 pages of BLAH BLAH DICK, 2 pages of stuff happening.
So I can imagine the anime will translate to 2 minutes of OP/EDs, 19 minutes of BLAH BLAH DICK and 3 minutes of stuff happening.
:(
I guess some people just have problem relating to intelligent characters.
I thought Misa would cheer up you wankers, but noooo, you want ninja battles and Chuck Norris and any less will make you oh so bored.
i reckon death note has a great story line especialy the first arc with L vs Light! L looks awsome and i'm looking forward to see the movie.
You seriously can't appreciate a battle of wits? Sure, the manga was reduced to ridiculousness eventually, but the beginning of it is rock solid.
>>101
( ﾟ ヮﾟ) Battles of wit are great, but if they make up the entire thing? No, thanks. Though I do agree that it did start out good, Once it got to volume three I gave up and just skipped to the end.
Matsuda shoots Light in the arms and head, and Ryuuku isn't gay for him in the end. ( ﾟ -ﾟ)
I loved DN at the start as well... but then it trailed off into the BLAH BLAH DICK territory.( ﾟ -ﾟ)
But if there was some other flashy action to distract your attention-deficit self, it would utterly ruin the tension of the battle of wits that was being built up ever larger. It would have been a total cop-out.
Me, I enjoyed it up to the Yotsuba arc. That's where I thought it totally lost the thread and started to go off on all kinds of pointless tangents just to extend the story artificially.
How many is released Death Note in USA?
Japan is 12nom now.
they should make a live action of death note. or have they already?
apparently the live action was good, check on youtube for the trailer.
'Death Note' cartoonist arrested for possessing knife
http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/national/news/20060907p2a00m0et013000c.html
Wow, I didn't expect that. The guy who did Death Note also did Hikaru no Go.
serious?? i didn't know that either.... why does he have a knife?!?! was he doing anything?
wow, Japan. OMG, a knife!
Maybe he needed it for his bagel.
Other than Naruto (yeah lol) this is the only manga I've really been able to bring myself to read and buy. Bought volumes 2-4 just the other day.
I found the ending rather okay to be true, it just was kinda surprising. After all what Light survived I had thought he would last longer when facing the chibi/Near. Especially after Near made that statement that he AND Mello did surpass L together (or something in the meaning like that) and Light killed L as we know... -_-'''
Smelled like "OMG we have to get a ending it's already chapter 108!!!!"
Just read DN,
and battle of wits are surely boring when both sides are unarmed, but one side is even more stupid than the other (rem, l's team etc.).
