âCongratulations, Host, on acquiring the manga work âDeath Noteâ.â
With the Systemâs prompt, an extra manga appeared in Lin Yuanâs backpack.
âThey didnât arrange a random piano piece for me?â
Lin Yuan was surprised.
The System had previously liked to play with âcoincidencesâ.
Well, if thereâs no piano piece, letâs just pay homage.
Have the new protagonist play âMariage dâAmourâ in the new movie, like an Easter egg. Those who know will naturally understand.
If I wanted to release a piano piece through a movie, âThe Legend of 1900â would be suitable.
But this film would require fine editing, so Lin Yuan doesnât plan to spend that money yet.
As for the manga from the Silver Treasure Chestâ¦
Itâs perfect since I didnât know what production to take over after âFood Wars: Shokugeki no Somaâ.
Well, that saves me the trouble of thinking about it.
Through the information in Lin Yuanâs mind, he is very clear on how famous âDeath Noteâ is as a manga!
From its influence to ratings, almost all data indicating that âDeath Noteâ is at a top tier level!
But in fact, itâs a work of cult significance!
Over in Japan, this manga is one of the few that can outshine countless top-ranked manga, truly a super cult manga!
What is cult and what is mainstream?
In general, mainstream manga is virtuous, with positive themes, kind-hearted and pure protagonists, plots usually of a hero fighting demons, and the righteous side winning.
These types of works have pure-hearted female leads, buddies, and happy companions, with justice as the theme, realizing dreams, etc.
Thatâs why mainstream mangaâs target audience is the broadest.
From this perspective, âFood Wars: Shokugeki no Somaâ is also considered a mainstream manga
As for âPrince of Tennisâ, itâs more mainstream.
However, many mainstream manga are passionate and contain a lot of fighting scenes. Apart from the first two manga of Shadow, which were passionate, there was no fighting, only tennis and cooking.
Cult manga is more of a maverick. These works contain some dark aspects, which may include crime, horror, violence, etc.
Of course, mainstream manga can also have violence, but theyâre not blatantly bloody.
Furthermore, the protagonist of a cult manga is usually not some harmless bunny, but could be the final villain.
Because the protagonist may not be a good person, itâs easy to explore human nature, making the manga more meaningful.
Therefore, cult manga reaches a smaller audience than mainstream manga and can easily cause controversy.
As for âDeath Noteâ, it has become a representative work of cult manga in many peopleâs hearts. This shows how special and controversial this work is!
In any case, this anime was directly censored in our country. Everyone who wants to watch it can only resort to cloud storage.
The story begins quite wickedly.
Yagami Light, a genius high school student otherwise known as the male lead of âDeath Noteâ, is a student filled with a sense of justice.
His father is a high-ranking police officer, comes from a prestigious family, and can be said to have an excellent background.
In school, he is extremely popular with the girls, always comes first in exams, and is as handsome as Lin Yuan.
In every sense, such a person could be considered perfect!
Firstly, having a father who is a police officer, especially at the superintendent level, is already quite impressive.
Not to mention the fact that he himself has a very high IQ, is excellent at exams, handsome, and has a good EQ. Girls are charmed by him.
If we donât discuss the subsequent storyline and just look at the introduction of the protagonist, everyone might thinkâ¦
Ah, this protagonist is really cliché.
Full of self-fantasizing by the author and pandering to readers.
However, thatâs not the case.
This manga, with the theme of a Death Note, emphasizes a battle of wits!
The protagonist Yagami Light happened to get a âDeath Note.â He discovered that as long as he writes a personâs name in the notebook, that person will die on the spot.
That day, Yagami Light decided to test it out on a hoodlum.
Then, the thug died right in front of Yagami Light.
Yagami Light was overjoyed and embarked on his journey of upholding justice!
He is an extreme advocate for justice!
With the help of the news media, Yagami Light wrote the names of criminals in the world one by one into his notebook. He believed that such actions were justice!
He is God!
He wants to create a new world without crime!
Soon, countries around the world discovered that someone was secretly punishing criminals, but the existence of the Death Note was too magical and unknown to everyone. Everyone only knew that criminals would drop dead out of the blue.
The Executor is referred to as âKiraâ by everyone.
On the other hand, Interpol invited the worldâs number one detective âLâ to investigate Kiraâs identity.
So, a battle of wits and courage began between Yagami Light and âLâ.
Perhaps itâs due to the uniformity of the common King Road Manga.
This âDeath Noteâ, with its unique style, intriguing game of wits, discussion around good and evil, has a large fan base globally!
Non-manga fans only know about the Dead Sea of Fire.
Those who really enjoy reading manga, basically all know about âDeath Noteâ.
Blue Starâs limits wonât lead to the censorship of âDeath Noteâ, so Lin Yuan is very relieved about this.
We wonât discuss here whether Yagami Light is good or bad.
The controversy about âDeath Noteâ is actually centered around Yagami Light.
Some people like this kind of protagonist, some people despise it, but whether you like or dislike it, at least everyone agrees:
Yagami Light is a charismatic antagonist protagonist.
In manga, there are protagonists that are antagonists, but Yagami Light is considered to embody the extreme charm of such characters.
Lin Yuan is only reading from the perspective of a reader, and then concluded that this manga is greatâ
This is not merely based on the data provided by the System.
Whatâs even more rare is that the System hasnât modified âDeath Noteâ.
The manga that Lin Yuan received before were all modified by the System.
For example, âKing of the Netâ was heavily modified from its novel version.
And then thereâs âFood Wars: Shokugeki no Somaâ, which had a disastrous downfall in the original authorâs later stage, leaving the System to tie up the loose ends.
This time, the System didnât modify it, suggesting that âDeath Noteâ doesnât have any faults!
Even if some people are dissatisfied with the ending of this manga, overall, it is a complete and well-rounded manga.
The quality just slipped a little bit after âLâ died.
Some people also say that itâs not that the ending of âDeath Noteâ declined in quality, itâs just that after âLâsâ death, Yagami Light doesnât have an equal opponent.
Just like Ximen Chui Xueâs ultimate battle was against Ye Gucheng.
Itâs difficult to reproduce the same earth-shattering battle after that.
Estimating the time, Lin Yuan probably figured it out.
âPerhaps during the movie filming, I can start the serialization of âDeath Noteâ.â
âAlso, âFood Wars: Shokugeki no Somaâ needs to be adapted into an animation.â
âThe revenue brought in by the animation adaptation is much higher than I expected. Once the serialization of âDeath Noteâ is nearly finished, I definitely need to continue with the animation.â
ââ¦..â
Lin Yuan has tasted the sweetness of animation adaptation.
If possible, he even wanted to make a live-action version but considering the failures of live-action adaptations of anime in his previous life, he gave up.
Instead of believing in live-action adaptations of anime, he might as well have faith in his own novels.
For example, âZhu Xianâ can be made into a TV series.
If thatâs still not safe, then âGhost Blows Out the Lightâ should be ok, right?
âââââââ
ps: Judging optimistically, it seems like Iâll be well in a few more days. I could finally open my mouth to eat today, it feels so good not having to drink porridge anymore. Also, Antarctica, the cat in yesterdayâs bonus chapter, is indeed my pet.
