Death Note – How to Read

Anime & Manga October 21st, 2006 @ 2113h

I went to Kinokuniya and bought the book, at last for SGD $16.50. Couldn’t afford the SGD $70 limited edition *sobs*

The book came with L’s true name card sealed inside an envelope-like thing and gosh, the card is glossy =) The first page includes the cover page image without text – can’t scan it because I don’t want to spoil the book, sorry.

There’s something of surprise though: The back side of the dust cover is.. a Death Note!

Some Scans:
