The amount of seemingly upright adults reading this series is absolutely shocking seeing as it originally ran in Shonen Jump. You know, that magazine that runs Naruto. But I think it's because it ran in such a magazine that it was able to excel so well.

"If you're a manga fan and you haven't heard of Death Note by now, you're severely behind the times. Although many people hail it as the best thing since sliced bread, it still has elements of a standard shounen series - the battles are just fought with words instead of fists. The nearly perfect first half of the series is brought down by a wholly unnecessary second half."

Now while Death Note is heavily laden with dialougue one can only imagine how much more impossible it would have been to read had it been aimed at older audiences.
And I gotta say, it's been a heck of a ride. If you haven't already been informed Death Note chronicles the story of Light Yagami, who out” read more
