Møon's Chronicle

A thriller manga created by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata published in 2003 to 2006 with 12 volumes and 108 chapters about how a Japanese high school student called Yagami Light (Raito for me XD I love how it sounds so I always pronounce Raito instead of Light) founds a notebook in the street, outside the school with a weird title "Death Note". When he opened it was written some "how to use" directions, the main one was "The human whose name is written in this notebook shall die" followed with some rules. Since that, Raito's lige drastically changed his life thinking that he could change the world with his sense of justice and this book could create a better and peaceful world. Later on, he would meet a mysterious-world famous detective known as "L" , his top rival.

There is an anime version aired in October 2006 to June 2007 with 37 episodes, a very good adaptation but not at the end, it is different from the manga and it wasn't a good idea, in my opinion, the way the anime was. The music was composed by Kenji Kawai and with openings and endings Maximum the Hormone, Nightmare and Yoshihisa Hiran, heavy sounds hehe.

There is a live action divided in two movies:
Death Note - aired in June 2006 with a runtime of 126 minutes.
Death Note The Last Name - aired five months later of the same year with a runtime of 141 minutes.


This story is so interesting, the way Raito and L fight their perspective of justice using their intelligence, the unexpected end... well, suspense all the time that anybody can't miss, a well done story.
