WAAAAAAAAAH I'M SO BUYING THIS!!!

By the way, the manual (the book itself) is same for normal and special edition...

DAMN STRAIGHT I AM BUYING!
Plus the box will also be able to hold How to Read 13.

Local-chan

wow, looks pretty interesting, so is the L card gonna be in both or is it just something for the special edition?

Cap'n Carter

Not buying, I already know how to read

Bounty1Berry

It's interesting the way Death Note seems to spawn such high-end merchandise… a Y3500 "special" book, that Death Box set which was well over 10 000.

Does it demographically skew to older audiences with more disposable income?

BTW, I hope L's true name is R. XD XD XD

the clicky pen

I've gotta admit, this would be pretty sweet if I was still as in love with Death Note as everybody else is.

Must learn japanese before october 13th
'
Must…know...real name...of L!!

Stupid question but i am guessing there are 1-12 on how to read right...

J-Sack

1-12 are the volumes. There are 12 volumes of Death Note.

warp

Ok yeah i knew that, but i thought that 1-12 were also data volumes too. Damn this is going to be great. DO i see kefi scanlating this?

Also is the cover to 12 out yet?

J-Sack

I think the URL is http://books.shueisha.co.jp/search/book_image/4-08-874131-5.jpg but it doesn't seem to exist… =/

warp

When does it come out. I think at the end of my vol 11 it said july, but i am not sure

J-Sack

Yes, it comes out July (I think 4th)

Killerfly

I posted this over at Deathgod.org yesterday and was looking for a for accurate translation. Thanks ocean. I really hope Viz is smart and releases this after the first 12 volumes.

Yoska

A stupid question. Has Death Note ended?

Megadoomer

Yes, it ended at Chapter 108. WARNING: ENDING SPOILERS AHEAD.

! Light was killed by Ryuk after revealing to Near and co. that he is Kira, but there are large groups of people (including Misa, apparently) who still follow his beliefs. After Light's death, Near destroyed the Death Notes so nobody could use them again.

Satsuki

I probably won't buy this since I'm not that into Death Note (don't flame me!), but I do hope that once it's released somebody will be kind enough to tell me L's real name, since I am curious. Please? :cwy:

! That's one of the main reasons I'm not really into Death Note. L was the only pull, and since he was killed . . . . yeah.

@Cap'n:

Not buying, I already know how to read

ZZZZZZING

Hopefully someone on Winny will scan this, since I'm not sure if I really want to buy it without checking it out first.

oceanizer

Someone on DeathGod.org already mentioned that s/he'll scan ^^; I think s/he scanned blanc et noir.

Killerfly

Yep, Shaza's the same person that scanned Blanc et Noir.

MushroomBoy
