Story: [10/10]
The story is amazing. Light and Ryuk both think their world is rotten so they try to make it better. Ryuk escapes his world and looks for entertainment on earth by dropping a notebook. The best entertainment he could wish for, Yagami Light, picks up the book. This is when one of the biggest geniusses on earth starts to make that world a place worth for a god to live in... by killing criminals! Of course that makes him a criminal himself in the eyes of the law and the police and detective L. Light searches for L and L searches for Light, both to stop them. As they are both invincible since nobody knows anything about them, desperate needs lead to desperate deeds.
I found myself a few major plot holes, but I just think of that as "That person wasn't smart enough to do that" but it really was searching for them and almost as hard to find as L for Light and visa versa.

Art: [10/10]
Simply the best art I've ever seen in manga, shonen at least.

Characters: [9/10]
Light and L both have my deepest respect. L is extremely cool besides his lack of social skills and Light is exactly how I would imagine an insanely smart person with that kind of book. He acted in most cases how I would act.
the -1 is because of the position of women in this series: they are all relatively dumb and half of them is used. They also all fall for light like autumn leaves as if they have no mind on their own. Besides that: the heroine is very annoying.

Enjoyment: [10/10]
This is the part of the review I wanted to write the most:
This manga challenged me mentally and logically. It made me question moral and death and it learned me to look at things differendly: more conciderately. The only other manga's/anime's that accomplished this so far are Liar Game and Akumetsu, but none of them was as strong as Death Note.

Overall: [10/10]
Why are you still reading this review instead of Death Note?
