Every Death Note Manga Edition Compared - Which One's Best?

Black Editions for me. I do love an oversized book. This would suit hardcover deluxe editions, like Berserk.

This is probably the hardest decision I've ever had to make for manga editions I literally want all of them

I simply wish there was a high quality hard cover release in the design of an actual Death Note. Fans would love it and certainly pay extra with a big smiles on their faces. I know I would.

Black page edges and the all in one edition are such fun little ideas, I wish english regions got more fun stuff like this way more often

In Black Edition 4, it corrects Rule 39 of the Death Note which was mistranslated and said that the Shinigami Eyes grant immunity from the Death Note, while the correct translation is that those who have already died are unaffected by the Shinigami Eyes, meaning that you can’t see their name. This created a plot hole in the individual volumes where Higuchi and Mikami are killed, when that should have been impossible.

I had the black editions first, but i just love the spines and the cover art on each of the singles. Not to mention the box set comes with the extra volume, so i sold my black editions and went with the box set. You deserve to have way more subs and views the amount of effort that goes into this does not go unappreciated . Great video as always :)

I chose the all in one edition. I love the novelty of owning an entire manga series in a single book. I find the box problem to be solved by putting the book back into the box in reverse, and reading it is best when you have something propping it up. I read on a recliner chair and prop it up with a blanket to make sure that it doesn't get damaged by resting on something harder like a table. I personally really enjoy it despite its flaws like the thinner pages. I honestly just love watching these kinds of manga comparison videos, even if I don't plan on collecting them all.

Yesterday i was literally just thinking about how cool it would be if you did a video on which edition of Death Note was the best, and today I wake up and first thing I see on my feed is this video! Thanks a lot, and keep up the good content!

Picked up the all in one for cost effectiveness/space issues, and as much as it is nice to have it all in 1, I really hope they re-release an all in one version that is hardcover at the very least at a larger size... makes little sense to have the thickest of the editions remain paperback lol

I have the All-In-One and I would say the only negatives I have for it is that it is really heavy and the pages are delicate so you've got to be careful while turning them. Other than that, I didn't notice any of the cons mentioned as far as the pages being see thru or the artwork being too small. It was a nice way to have it all in one spot. Plus, it was satisfying to finish 2400 pages 😂. If I had to choose all over again, I would say probably the box set but that's because I'm a sucker for color artwork.

Thank you so much for such a detailed review! I was stuck between getting the black edition set or the all-in-one but now i know i’ll be getting the black edition! Great vid :)

I went to youtube to look at different editions in order to pick which one I wanted, so your video was perfect! You were so thorough & looked at them all in so many different aspects, it was super helpful! As much as I want the bigger size & colored pages from the black editions, I think I’m gonna go with the box set to get the 13th volume. Thank you so much!!

Thanks for the video! I was looking for a detailed comparison of the editions. And this video ended up going way beyond what I was looking for.

this was exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks for this really well put together comparison!

Not long been into manga and found all your vids super useful! Quickly found that I enjoy the singles of most series over any collected editions, just love the small format for ease of reading. Really appreciate these videos, you do an amazing job. Thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏

After casually searching for a Death Note manga set review and landed upon your video, I just had to subscribe to your channel. Live your voice and the effort of in depth analysis on all editions. I’ll get all three editions: the all in, black pages and box set. All in just to carry it for travel even though it’s hard to handle whole reading haha. Thank you so much and keep it up!

Really liked the video. Very informative and to the point. Thanks for making such helpful and amazing videos. ❤️❤️

I needed this round up video... thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

I always come to your channel when i am having trouble to choose what edition of a manga i want if you have it posted. I ended up getting all of the black editions for christmas because i have never watched or read death note and since the box set was out of stock and some of the singles were too i decided to just get all of the black editions and i gotta say that they look really nice. I was a little suprised that the colored pages weren't a glossy finish. I also decided to treat myself a little and i got the short stories aswell so i am all done with collecting death note.

thanks for this review! im gonna be buying the black edition and then the short stories and how to read individually! super excited to read this, it'll be my first manga :)
