Latest revision as of 03:23, 27 August 2024

Cover of the first tankōbon for Death Note, released in Japan by Shueisha on April 2, 2004.

This is a list of the chapters of the Japanese manga series Death Note, written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata. The 108 individual chapters were originally serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump, from December 2003 to May 2006. The series primarily focuses on high school student Light Yagami who decides to use a supernatural notebook called the "Death Note", which kills anyone whose name is written in it, to rid the world of evil.

Death Note has been compiled into twelve tankōbon in Japan, with the first being released on April 2, 2004, and the twelfth on July 4, 2006. In addition to these, a guidebook for the manga, Death Note 13: How to Read, was also published on October 13, 2006. The guidebook has information about the series, with character profiles, creator interviews, and the pilot chapter that preceded Death Note.

When law enforcement and the public realize someone is committing the killings, they nickname the unknown killer "Kira". The Japanese National Police Agency or "NPA", with the aid of a mysterious detective known only as "L", search and set traps for Kira. When L deduces Kira can kill those whose faces and names he knows, some of the investigators drop out in fear of their lives.
