Tsugumi Ōba (Profile in Japanese: 大場 つぐみ), born in Tokyo, Japan, is a writer best known for the manga Death Note. His/her real identity is a closely guarded secret. As stated by the profile placed at the beginning of each Death Note manga, Ōba collects teacups and develops manga plots while holding his knees on a chair, similar to a habit of L, one of the main characters of the series.

There is speculation that Tsugumi Ōba is a pen name and that he is really Hiroshi Gamō. Pointing out that in Bakuman the main character's uncle was a one-hit wonder manga artist who worked on a gag super hero manga, very similar to Gamō and Tottemo! Luckyman in all aspects. Also that the storyboards drawn by Ōba greatly resemble Tottemo! Luckyman in style.

A couple of twists that I didn’t see coming!

It was truly a remarkable experience. The story took unexpected turns that left me completely astonished.

At first, everything seemed to be unfolding in a rather predictable manner. But then, out of nowhere, a twist emerged that completely changed the course of events.

I found myself on the edge of my seat, eagerly anticipating what would happen next. And just when I thought I had it all figured out, another twist came along and threw me for a loop.

These twists added an element of excitement and mystery to the narrative that kept me engaged from start to finish.

It was a reminder that sometimes, the most interesting stories are the ones that take us by surprise and lead us down paths we never expected to travel.

I can't wait to see what other surprises this journey has in store for me.

The relationships presented in this work are disappointingly one-dimensional. There is a distinct lack of depth and complexity, making them feel rather shallow and unengaging. The characterization, too, is flimsy. The characters seem to lack substance and fail to truly come alive on the page. The philosophy that is supposed to underlie the story has that all-too-common faux depth that is often found in manga. It gives the appearance of being profound but upon closer inspection, it falls flat. Talking heads often drone on for page after page, making the reading experience rather tedious at times. And let's not even get started on the female characters. They are absolutely horrible, lacking any real agency or interesting qualities.

So, why am I still reading this? Well, there are a few redeeming factors. The concept itself is brilliant, full of potential and intrigue. Light, the main character, has an incorrigibly single-minded nature that makes him both fascinating and somewhat terrifying. And then there are the occasionally interesting plot twists that manage to keep me hooked. Oh, and let's not forget Takeshi Obata. He is a rather good artist, especially considering all the talking heads he has to make look interesting. His illustrations add a certain visual appeal to the story, even if the writing itself has its flaws.

I go to the store with great anticipation to buy the other Death Note black editions.


As I walk towards the store, my mind is filled with a flurry of questions. WHAT IS HAPPENING? How is this going to work? WHAT WHAT WHAT?!


I am truly excited about getting my hands on these additional volumes. The first Death Note black edition was seriously so good! It had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.


I can't wait to dive into the next installments and see what new twists and turns the story has in store.


The anticipation is killing me, but I know it'll be worth it once I start reading.


I hope the store has the ones I'm looking for in stock.


Fingers crossed!

What just happened?!

It's truly a mystery. One moment everything seemed normal, and the next, something completely unexpected occurred. There was a sudden change in the atmosphere, as if a silent force had intervened. People around looked confused and startled. Some were left gaping, while others quickly tried to make sense of the situation. Was it a natural phenomenon? Or perhaps something more sinister? The possibilities raced through everyone's minds. There were no clear answers yet, but the event had definitely left a mark. It would surely be a topic of discussion for a long time to come.

Everyone was eager to find out the truth and understand what had just taken place. The air was filled with a sense of anticipation and curiosity. Only time would tell what the cause of this strange incident was.

Death Note is a captivating manga series that has gained a significant following. The reviews for the individual volumes vary, with some receiving four stars and others three stars.

For example, Volume 1: Boredom and Volume 3: Hard Run both received four stars, indicating that readers found them particularly engaging.

However, it's important to note the trigger warnings associated with the series. These include sexual harassment, heart attack, murder, torture, nonconsensual sensory deprivation, unlawful and inhumane imprisonment, and surveillance/invasions of privacy by law enforcement.

The series features a Japanese cast and setting, which adds to its unique charm.

If you're interested in exploring more about Death Note or other manga series, you can visit the Blog, Trigger Warning Database, Twitter, or Instagram pages provided.

Overall, Death Note offers a thrilling and thought-provoking reading experience, but it's essential to be aware of the potential triggers before delving in.
