Death Note has concluded the series in Shonen Jump, and on July 4th the last paperback was released. Although I read many said the movie "Death Note" is sucks, it seems to achieve overwhelming financial success and they will make into TV drama in this fall.
By the way, some found Death Note was written by another famous manga writer "Shigeru Mizuki" about 30 year ago. Shigeru Mizuki is the famous horror manga writer, his representative work is Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro.
Here is the post about Death Note Mizuki version. The title is "Amazing Notebook." One guy found a notebook, he knew it was an amazing notebook that he could use to kill someone by writing his name. He and his mistress killed those who stand in thier's way, He killed his mistress too because she demanded that he kill more and more. However he regreted what he did. Then he wrote his name with his repentant tears to kill his past and to make things over. After that, he did not use the notebook anymore. However one day his wife found his notebook, and she thew it into the fire as garbage. Becaues of fire, his name was burned out and he died.
Wow! that is exactly Death Note!. We are not sure the original author Tsugumi Ohba knew this Mizuki version. Maybe yes, maybe not. Actually we are not sure who is Tsugumi Ohba yet either. Needless to say, we are sure Mizuki isn't Ohba. If Mizuki wrote it, we should have this or this type character in the story at any rate :-)
*And you know, become friends, I was most happy.

This is good stuff. I love Death Note and as original as the story seems, the relationship between these two is hard to deny. I'd love to see and english version of "Amazing Notebook"!

Hello. ^ ^
I love looking at your blog.~
You always have wonderful topics up to read. And your english is amazing.
I'm currently studying japanese and visited japan as a home stay student for two weeks and 4 days.
During that time, on june 17th, Death Note came out, I'm a big fan of the manga, and me and my other friend who was also doing homestay, went to go see the movie.
I did think it would be better than it was.
But, it was still amazing I think, and L is so cute. *(^o^)*
