While Death Note is a 12 volume series, as many of you know, in Japan there is a 13th volume titled How to Read. How to Read is like an enclopedia on the series. There has been no word (or at least from what I know) about it being released. I know that if Viz ended up releasing it I would surely buy it. What do you think? Do you think they will release it? I was looking on amazon and came across this http://www.amazon.com/Death-Note-Lethally-Mysteries-Revealed/dp/1932897321/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-7900334-2976141?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1180292068&sr=8-1 Mad Do you think that since this is being released that Viz might not feel as if they should relase the 13th volume anymore? Crying or Very sad

They're releasing everything related to Naruto, so I doubt there'll be any exceptions for DN.

While they haven't announced it, I would be surprised if Viz didn't release How to Read, because it's another way for them to get money and companies generally like that Razz

Not too mention that volume 13 clears up any confusion the reader may have had while reading the series. Personally, during the series at certain points it felt like I was drowning in an information overload, but none the less I still think that Deathnote is an excellent series.

I think it would be a good marketing stragedy for VIZ. It would be beneficial to them and it would be beneficial to the readers as well, that way they can find out to anybody after the events of DN on top of questions that they might have about the series will be answered.

I hope they release it, even though I've already spoiled it for myself *shakes her fist at wikipedia*. I don't see why they wouldn't.

To them, right now anything Death Note is like pure gold, and they gotta pimp it as long as they can.

I'm not sure if that's VIZ or not. Anyway, if they do release it, i hope they release the novel as well. There's going to be a movie made out of it, so it has to be good. Anime smile;
