- Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2023Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseIt's wonderful to finally get the bonus stories in a physical copy. Although a good portion of this collection does return from vol 13 of the series. So if you didn't want that profile stuff then this is just for you, as we have a continuation of the original story for the first two chapters, and then some fun 4 komas and some funny L stories, and lastly the original One-Shot is back. I would have loved if it was all new stuff but that would be asking too much from Ohba-sensei and Obata-sensei. The fact that we can enjoy this in America after a-Kira dropped on Viz is a miracle in of itself.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2022Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis book is amazing if you want to have all the little short stories in one place. It is really a fun read to comeback to or to get to know the world of death note. But it is missing one of the four-panel comic "No.4-5, 2004. Light, dressed as Santa, asks "Ryukie" what he wants for Christmas. Ryuk asks for a Gameboy Advanced SP, which is more money than Light wants to spend". I had to look this one up to read. Just giving you guys the heads up.
