Its unknown to me how many people on PC actually read Death Note, but for those of you that have heres something interesting. About a day or two ago the manga was given a "one-shot" taking place about

Yeah, I read about that on ANN a few days ago. I'm intrigued, personally. However, I've decided to watch the anime instead of reading the manga, but I'll probably end up reading the manga at some point as well.

I've got the whole manga (Awaiting volume 13 to be dispatched from Amazon).

The one shot manga was a huge dissapointment in my opinion, it started with high hopes and ended very..uh...terrible?

Very dissapointed, but the manga is way better than the anime. Does any one here have the english How To Read volume yet?

Still watching the show as it airs on Adult Swim. So far, I love it. However, some of the recent episodes have been a little on the "meh" side.

I really hope things get moving soon because the "haha, I've foiled you Kira! haha, I've foiled you L!" loops are starting to wear thin :|

I watched the entire anime and collected the manga up to volume 12, and I still reread the manga all the time. It's fascinating, but I'm occasionally not so fond of how some parts in the anime just aren't rewatchable since they're so boring at points. The animation and music in the anime is incredible, though it gets slightly irritating at how they make some of the smallest things so epic (eating potato chips and writing is a good example). It's a great watch and read whatever way, though, and is definitely my favorite manga.

Never heard about this one shot thing, though. It sounds very interesting.

I've seen the entire anime (took quite a while), have all the manga and watched both movies. I like it best before Misa pops up and I think it really should have ended around the big mid-series event, which is why I generally prefer the movies, or the second one anyway, MUCH better ending.

Yes actually, my sister brought
Death Note 13 How To Read about a day ago!
She has already read the entire thing ¬_¬
It's awesome though.

And yes, Death Note is soo epic, that it even makes eating potato chips and writing epic!

'tis the awesomeness! I am watching the anime, but I already know what happened.
My sister spoilered me. I still wanna see it though XD

EDIT: For those who watch the Japanese anime, my sig may be amusing to you. You might actually get the joke.

I've read the one shot, well it might've been a Doujinshi. It was a good, pencil + eraser xD. Still not as good as the main story as it was less psychological.
Could you, or anyone for that matter, provide a link?

Ah, I've read it now. It isn't bad, but the end seems a little rushed and anticlimactic.
Spoiler:
As a side note: Near's turning into quite a little heartthrob, isn't he? He's starting to look more like L, which isn't too surprising since he's about the same age L was in the main series and has been in a similar environment for years.
The sad difference between the internet and life is that life has no "back" button.
