Review: The WOW factor! - I can not begin to describe how thrilled I am to have this book. The delivery time was good as it respected the time frame (I ordered this on the 12th October and it got dispatched the following day. It came on Thursday 17th instead of Friday 18th- I chose standard delivery! The book came in immaculate condition with no scratches, creases or tears, which is a definite plus! The book in it self looks AMAZING. The black edition volume 1 features two volumes in one book, so the book is thicker. What I absolutely love about the way this book looks is the fact that the pages on the outside are black like the cover (Not the pages inside), which brings depth and sophistication to the book. The design on the front cover is simple yet sophisticated with the skull head at the side of the book. The feel of it is smooth. I love the design! It makes the book look more adult in my opinion. The black edition of Death note comes in 6 volumes and does not include the 'how to read' volume 13, which is found in the normal edition of Death note books. Now what makes this black edition different from the normal edition is the fact that of course it is black, includes two volumes in one book and the pages inside are of better quality/thicker. A part from that the content, story and art is exactly the same as the standard edition. The story plot is AMAZING (I do not want to ruin the story for you guys, but this is a must buy!) and mixes suspense, tactics, battle of the wits and thinking outside the box. The characters are clever, fascinating and attractive in every single way! You become attached to them easily and it almost feels as if you are part of their secret plots. If you want to save some money on the death note manga series buying the black edition six volumes is better value than buying the normal edition 13 volumes. I like both editions, however the black edition is way off the scales in the way it looks and feels. I would recommend this edition and book to anyone! I am extremely pleased with my order!
Review: A Brilliant Manga At A Brilliant Price! - I've already watched the anime series and decided to try the manga (My first!) and I have not been disappointed. In terms of story the anime has closely followed the manga and the battle of mind between L and Light never gets old. This Black Edition of the Death Note hit has been brilliantly made and the quality of paper and cover used is great. The quality of drawing is just fantastic and I would imagine looks even better in this new larger book than the original releases! The book contains the same content as the original volumes (1 and 2 have been merged into this first Black Edition volume) and arguably has a more mature, darker appearance than the original releases. This being my first manga read I was a little concerned with the whole 'Eastern way' of reading right to left, however after just a few pages it felt natural and in no way prevented me enjoying the experience. The Black Edition may not be worthwhile buying for those who already own the original releases of the manga, however collectors and such may still find this of interest. For those like myself who have watched the anime or are new to the story and are yet to own the manga, this would be the best buy as it works out cheaper than buying the original volumes individually. Also the increased size, 'dark-look' and colour pictures of this edition may appeal more to buyers. In all, I love the story of Death Note and this manga Black Edition was a joy to read.
