Just to note here be spoilers

Spoiler!

I agree, the manga ending showed light screaming in fear and anger at the fact he is going to die, but int he anime Mikami stabed himself and light went for a jog just to die in the middle of nowhere

so to sum it up the anime end made lights death more sad
but the manga ending was a more fitting end to kira

That spoiler tag didnt work, nothing is showing up.

The manga is awesome!! And the anime is great too (the music is... wow)
When I started to read the manga, I couldnt stop 'til I finished it ^^U

Death Note is an amazing piece of work. The story captivates and doesn't let you stop with it until you're done. On top of a great story Obata's artwork is to die for.

This is the manga I use to get my friends, family, an co-workers into manga with. I have yet to have a person read it whom didn't like it(this includes my father who hates "comics" as he calls them). Some don't get hooked on other manga/anime, but quite a few have given other things a try.

Wonderful, wonderful manga/anime.
