A lot of different books, movies, etc. come out with the after-the-series books, they always seem like rip-offs that are boring, stupid and a waste of time and money. This is SO not the case for Volume 13! Every page was packed with little tidbits of information that were never given in the series! I especially enjoyed reading Ohba's and Obata's interviews, especially when they were talking to each other! I don't want to give away anything important, but if you area big fan of Death Note, you ... Read More

When I read this, it did tie up a lot of the loose ends and answered a lot of questions that were left hanging at the end of book 12. It is a must for trivia fans as well as those who want to know everything about the series.
However, my copy was straight from Viz and contained two extras: a card that had L's true name on it, and a glossy page of the cover (sans words). I also found a few discrepancies about the book in the database here and have also sent that in as well.

This book is read like the manga, back to front. It's packed with information, interviews with the creators, timelines, character profiles, etc. Unfortunately, if you've followed the whole series closely, there's not a LOT of new information, but there are quite a few interesting bits.

Probably the best ... Read More

I was very sad to finish the last installation of the Death Note manga series, and How to Read filled a little bit of the void for me. It was terrific to learn more about my favorite characters, to enter the minds of the author and illustrator, and just spend a little more time in the world which I grew to love through the manga. Highly reccomended to Death Note fans.

On the whole, an attentive reader of all 12 volumes will already know nearly all the information in this book. As such, the main reasons to buy it are the new elements:
The interviews with the author and artist are fantastic. Which well-known Tim Burton character inspired Ryuk's design? Which ubiquitous piece of Death Note iconography turned out to be a red herring which the artist took seriously? What deeply meaningful statement by L, on which entire interpretations of his character have ... Read More
