THE ULTIMATE DEATH NOTE ENCYCLOPEDIA!
Written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata (Hikaru no Go), DEATH NOTE: VOLUME 13 - HOW TO READ is the ultimate guide to the best-selling Death Note manga series.
To date, the 12-volume Death Note manga series has sold over 21 million copies in Japan and, in addition to the anime series, has also inspired three live action movies and an original prequel novel.
Volumes 11 and 12 of the Death Note manga were published in the UK by VIZ Media on 2nd June 2008.

For the uninitiated, the plot of the Death Note series concerns a high school student, Light Yagami, who suddenly finds himself holding the power of life and death in his hands in the form of the Death Note, a notebook dropped into the human realm by Ryuk, a rogue Shinigami god of death. When Light discovers that any human whose name is written in the notebook will die within minutes, he embarks on a vigilante campaign to rid the world of evil by killing off criminals one by one. But as the body count mounts, Light's killing spree attracts the attention of both the police and a mysterious investigator known only as ‘L', who vows to track down the killer and bring him to justice. Light becomes aware of his new nemesis and soon finds himself involved in a high-stakes battle of wits with L. Meanwhile, Ryuk, amused by the psychological conflict going on between Light and L, is ever on the sidelines watching and waiting…

DEATH NOTE: VOLUME 13 - HOW TO READ brings together, in one authoritative volume, everything anyone would ever want to know about Death Note and contains a wealth of useful information including complete character biographies, detailed storyline summaries,
production notes and behind-the-scenes commentaries.

Win 1 of 3 copies of Death Note: Another Note courtesy of Viz Media

THE THRILLING STAND-ALONE NOVEL BASED ON THE BEST-SELLING MANGA SERIES
Written by Ishin Nishio (aka Nisioisin) and translated by Andrew Cunningham, with art by Takeshi Obata, DEATH NOTE: ANOTHER NOTE is the first ever stand-alone novel based on the best-selling, award-winning Death Note manga series.
To date, the 12-volume Death Note manga series has sold over 21 million copies in Japan and, in addition to the anime series, has also inspired three live action movies and an original prequel novel.
Volumes 11 and 12 of the Death Note manga were published in the UK by VIZ Media on 2nd June 2008.

Set before the events outlined in the manga series, DEATH NOTE: ANOTHER NOTE focuses on one of the early investigations of the detective known only as ‘L'.

There's a serial killer on the loose in Los Angeles and the local authorities need help fast. For some reason the killer has been leaving a string of maddeningly arcane clues at each crime scene. Each of these clues, it seems, is an indecipherable roadmap to the next murder.

Onto the scene comes L, the mysterious super-sleuth. Despite his peculiar working habits – he's never shown his face in public, for example – he's the most decorated detective in the world and has never tackled a case he hasn't been able to crack. But this time he needs help. Enlisting the services of an FBI agent named Naomi Misora, L starts snooping around the City of Angels. It soon becomes apparent that the killing spree is a psychotic riddle designed specifically to engage L in a battle of wits. Stuck in the middle between killer and investigator, it's up to Misora to navigate both the dead bodies and the egos to solve the Los Angeles BB Murder Cases.

A welcome addition to the Death Note saga, DEATH NOTE: ANOTHER NOTE is a must-read for fans of the original manga series and, even for those unfamiliar with Death Note, stands up as a fantastic crime thriller in its own right.

DEATH NOTE: ANOTHER NOTE (176 pp) will be published in hardback by VIZ Media on 7th July 2008 priced at £9.99.

Like a child's rhyme, from beginning to end and back again...full circle has Hazuki and the Mildo clan come, but the stakes are far higher than ever as they are no longer the spectre of death, but the loss of a soul. Kouhel, having seen Hazuki's true form, cannot reconcile the little vampire he has grown to love with the monster before his eyes. And to save the others, Hazuki must embrace her fate, sacrificing all that she has come to love in order to save it. As the castle which had been her cage for so long seeks to close them in, those thought lost seek the riddle's solution ....
