In my opinion, the greatest comic / cartoon of the 21st century. Maybe it's due to the fact that:
-The manga series was finished when the anime begin, so it doesn't have that many unnecessary fillers like Naruto and Bleach etc...
-The story is neither too long nor too short and has an ending, unlike the majority with unlimited episodes+fillers.
-Its original yet suspenseful storyline is a breath of fresh air from the typical teenage anime/manga you see.
-A battle of wits instead of flashy attacks.

If you're a fan of the manga death note, then you might as well check out "LIAR GAME", written by Shinobu Kaitani.

The murder weapon from the popular anime/manga series, Death Note. To use the death note all one needs to do is write a person's name down while picturing their face.
The owner of the death note is haunted by a shinigami for the entire time they have it. They may make the "eye trade" with the shinigami at anytime, which would give them the ability to see a person's name just by looking at them.

A manga and anime series about a bored, teenaged genuis named Light who finds a notebook that can kill people, called the Death Note. He uses it get rid of the people who are causing the world to "rot", but it's soon noticed that criminals are dying of heart attacks (the Death Note's default cause of demise) at alarming rates. Light becomes known as "Kira", dirived from the English word "killer", and a legandary detective, known as "L", is assigned to this case. The first half of the story revolves around Light and L's game of cat and mouse, which is made interesting because both characters are intelligent to the point that it's inhuman.
There's no way Naruto will die - the only manga that is allowed to kill off the main character is Death Note.

They are fictional, but i wish they were real,

Light is one of the main characters, he's extremley smart its almost inhuman.

Death Note is A fantabulous manga series about Light Yagami, a seventeen year old high school student in Japan. He finds a death note, dropped by Ryuk the shinigami, and proceeds to use it to rid the world of evil.
The way a death note works is that you write a name down in it and...they die. You have to know their name and face. If you don't specify a cause and a time, they'll die in 30 seconds of a heart attack. Light kills off the world's nastiest, most wanted criminals, thinking he's doing good.
However, his plans may be foiled by the mysterious "L", who works together with the police and the FBI to track down "Kira", the name that people all over the world use to refer to him.
This awesome series is also an anime, and is a movie in Japan. It will soon be a movie in America as well, starring...**gag**...Zac Efron.
