Description from the seller
"--------------------
Product Overview:
This is a complete 1-13 volume set of the legendary manga series "DEATH NOTE," created by the renowned
duo Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.
This set is particularly notable as every volume is a Japanese First Edition, a rarity for such a globally influential title.
The collection includes the main 12-volume series and the 13th-volume guide book, along with the highly sought-after exclusive bonus card found in the 13th volume.
Background and Significance:
Serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump in the mid-2000s, "DEATH NOTE" revolutionized the shonen genre by introducing complex psychological themes, a dark anti-hero, and a high-stakes battle of wits.
The partnership between Tsugumi Ohba’s masterful plotting and Takeshi Obata’s gothic, highly detailed artwork remains one of the most celebrated in modern manga history.
As shown in 20260620_143416.jpg and 20260620_143424.jpg, this collection represents a vital piece of pop-culture history, and first-edition sets from this era are increasingly difficult to obtain.
Condition and Preservation:
This set was personally purchased upon release and has been carefully stored on a private bookshelf for years, as evidenced by the condition shown in 20260620_142920.jpg through 20260620_143510.jpg.
While these are vintage items from the 2000s and may exhibit minor natural aging or yellowing characteristic of paper of this era, they remain in excellent collector condition. Please review all provided images to verify the state of the books.
