Death Note Cover 13 - closeup

Summary Death Note's author, under the pen name Tsugumi Ohba, worked collaboratively with illustrator Takeshi Obata to create one of the most infamous supernatural crime thriller anime of the 21st century. The series details genius high schooler Light Yagami, the bored God of Death Ryuk, and the power over life and death with a few written words. This mystery drama is exalted for its riveting rivalry, shocking twists, recognizable soundtrack, and deep subjects and motifs.

Although introduced late in the series, Teru Mikami becomes a pivotal character in the story’s conclusion. The criminal prosecutor and Kira devotee is another great character depicting a descent into power-driven madness and twisted intentions. As Light uses him as a proxy to stave off suspicion, Mikami enthusiastically assumes his position as if given a divine duty. This cover spotlighting him eludes his dark and plotting nature as he holds his ‘mission’ tool in hand.

This is the second cover art that shows Ryuk, yet the first to give him his solo flowers. Although his role adds to society’s distress and fear over the Kira debacle, and encourages terror to satisfy his boredom, his character has become a fan favorite. Perhaps due to his interesting design and goofy demeanor or to his indifferent perfidy towards Light’s demise, this carefree shinigami has become a Death Note idol.

Despite the serious tone for most of the show, L offers comedic breaks with his quirky personality and random remarks. Although Light and Misa are his opposition, their relationship becomes almost jovial the more time they spend together. Fans enjoy the morally gray aspect behind L, as part of his cat-and-mouse game with Light is not only for public safety but for his own interest in having a worthy opponent.

4 Chained by Fate Volume 5 "Whiteout" The main characters pop off the bright green page for volume 5’s cover. L and Light are dynamically posed in front of another black cross with other characters’ portraits seen inside. The two are cuffed together while chains run across the page, tying this illustration to the parallel plot occurring.
