Indeed, Death Note is one of the best mangas around. Some chapters take two-three reads to get the plot clear, and every single page is worth it. The best thing about the manga is how it makes you relate to the 'bad guy' and want him to win over the forces of good.

really, i was so sad that Raito (I refuse to call him Light, keep him Raito, even if it isn't the original purpose of the name) had to let go of his badassness and go to the side of good...
