Every Death Note Manga Edition Compared - Which One's Best?

[@coyley72]

Black Editions for me. I do love an oversized book. This would suit hardcover deluxe editions, like Berserk.

Me too! Larger formats always get me as well. I would love to see a deluxe hardcover some day. That would be awesome!

@@ChichiNaka well I do read them pretty frequently so I'm assuming that it's just getting smudged from my fingers and rubbing off, other then that I'd think they'd hold well over time, but if you're going to be taking them with you and constantly touching the edges of the page like i have it will fade much faster

[@alexthibodeau979]

I chose the all in one edition. I love the novelty of owning an entire manga series in a single book. I find the box problem to be solved by putting the book back into the box in reverse, and reading it is best when you have something propping it up. I read on a recliner chair and prop it up with a blanket to make sure that it doesn't get damaged by resting on something harder like a table. I personally really enjoy it despite its flaws like the thinner pages. I honestly just love watching these kinds of manga comparison videos, even if I don't plan on collecting them all.

[@noahsark9962]

When putting in the box I close the book with my thumb and index finger put in the bottom side and then the same for the top and it slides in perfectly, I love the all in one too very comfy surprisingly

[@alexthibodeau979]

@@noahsark9962 Yeah, I found that method too by inserting it in through the bottom just a bit and then pulling it ever so slightly out so I can squeeze the top sides in before sliding down smoothly. It isn't too hard once you figure out the best way to re-insert it back in.

[@alexthibodeau979]

@@justanormalninja1241 I honestly don't think there is a way to reading it without the book bending in any way. I don't find my spine being damaged when I read it but if that is a big enough concern for you, I would just stick to the normal volumes or black editions.

[@why8308]

In Black Edition 4, it corrects Rule 39 of the Death Note which was mistranslated and said that the Shinigami Eyes grant immunity from the Death Note, while the correct translation is that those who have already died are unaffected by the Shinigami Eyes, meaning that you can’t see their name. This created a plot hole in the individual volumes where Higuchi and Mikami are killed, when that should have been impossible.

[@Phosphate777]

I have the All-In-One and I would say the only negatives I have for it is that it is really heavy and the pages are delicate so you've got to be careful while turning them. Other than that, I didn't notice any of the cons mentioned as far as the pages being see thru or the artwork being too small. It was a nice way to have it all in one spot. Plus, it was satisfying to finish 2400 pages 😂. If I had to choose all over again, I would say probably the box set but that's because I'm a sucker for color artwork.

[@LuisGuzman-xw2rw]

I had the black editions first, but i just love the spines and the cover art on each of the singles. Not to mention the box set comes with the extra volume, so i sold my black editions and went with the box set.

[@bennyharry9839]

If they made the all-in-one the same page size as the Black Edition, it would be my favorite. As they are, my favorite is Black Edition because I like the bigger book size, lower physical volume count, color pages, and mid-range price. I even like the simplified artwork with character portraits on the outside of each volume. My second choice would probably be all-in-one for portability. My favorite covers are the individual volumes. Picked up Short Stories recently but haven't read it yet. Glad to hear it includes the bonus chapter from the all-in-one. Great video!!

[@turtleanton6539]

Currently reading Death Note for the first time in the Shonen Jump app, and since I’m in the last chapters and such, I know for a fact I want to get this series. Honestly debating on getting either the singles (via boxset for the extras) or the Black Editions for print quality. I’m already super careful when reading 3 in 1s like the ones Viz sells for Naruto… I’d be TERRIFIED of ripping a page in the All in One edition on accident! That being said, I’d honestly rather get the singles whenever I go for them, because I prefer the cover art in the singles over the simplistic covers in the Black Edition.

[@SaberStash]

What a great in depth comparison video! Death Note is an all time classic, so I'm happy to see you cover it! I actually literally bought all 12 of the volumes from the manga this month in Japanese, their design is basically the same as the regular singles in English, they look super nice! Here's a video idea/suggestion, I've noticed people mention that some publishers from NA are basically printing/reprinting their manga in countries outside of Canada or the USA, in order to keep up with the super high demand. This has led to weird inconsistencies across the board, since printing in different countries will obviously change a lot in the entire process. I've seen people complain about new viz reprints for a lot of their super hot properties, people are saying that the covers are more stiff, the page and print ink quality is different and the volumes are slightly smaller, these volumes seem to be printed in Italy (examples are new reprint batches for Chainsaw Man(volumes 1,2), Jujutsu Kaisen (volumes 0-3), Haikyu volume 1, Demon Slayer volume( 2 and 5), Spy x Family vol 1, those are some of the examples I could find online, there are probably way more). Seven Seas are using a printing company in Hong Kong for some stuff(only examples I've seen are Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs volume 12 and Fire at his Fingertips volume 2, apparently the paper is super white in these and the volumes are stiff). I've also seen people mention Yen Press are printing stuff in South Korea, with Toilet Bound Hanako Kun. We have talked briefly before about Dark Horse and how they seem to print their hard covers in China, but that's probably always been the case for them and Viz I think also prints their hard cover art books in China, so there's that. I just thought it would be an interesting video topic for people who collect stuff in English and it fits well with what you do on your channel. ^.^

[@AnimeCollective]

It definitely is a classic and I appreciate your kind words as always!!! I am going to have to check your video on the Japanese volumes out. I've thought about picking them up as well so I'm looking forward to watching it! Ah yes, the quality differences. This is a video idea I had in the works and something I was thinking about adding into my manga collecting video. But an individual video for it may be better since there are some differences I've noticed. Specifically, Noragami as of late. The new volume 1's have glossy covers while the older ones have matte covers and the pages were quite different too (much thinner). So this is something I can definitely touch on and have noticed! I have the recently printed Jujutsu Kaisen volumes. Maybe I can stumble on an older printing at HPB one day to compare those also as you mentioned due to the print quality. This was all very helpful and insightful! I have noticed publishers printing in different locations. There is a shortage in printers too due to the increase in demand and the presses are running a lot faster, so there are more quality issues in addition to those with the print quality as of late. Yes definitely an interesting topic for sure and one I have in the works!! Having to track down some of those older volumes for newer series, but I'm interested in seeing if any of my recently printed box sets vary as well. I really appreciate you as always! You had a lot more insight into the different volumes and ones I need to look into comparing! 😄

[@sojourner650]

Soo... my overall favorite is still Black Edition, but I really like the portability and price of the All-in-One edition after seeing it multiple times in person. For example, for the price of all Black Editions, you could instead buy the all-in-one Death Note AND get the Bone all-in-one by Jeff Smith. (All the singles for Jeff Smith's Bone series are roughly the price of the entire Black Edition of Death Note. By getting the all-in-one versions for those two series, you basically cut your spending to 50%. You can then spend that remaining 50% on something else...)

I chose the black editions because overall it’s cheaper to collect all of the black editions than getting the singles or the box set and is only ten dollars more than All in one

[@Papa-ew9qo]

And I hope viz media an kodansha comics, yen press do more deluxe edition

[@AnimeCollective]

I really hope so too! After seeing the Abara Deluxe Edition from Viz, the Akira hardcover box set from Kodansha, and the Full Color Highschool of the Dead Editions from Yen Press, I know they all can do it! I would love to see more also.

[@Papa-ew9qo]

@@AnimeCollective No color edition I don’t like. I hope they make em 9.50 inches I think thats the perfect size for the hardcover

[@AnimeCollective]

@@Papa-ew9qo Oh man, really? I can see for certain series, but the full color really suits some series like HOTD. More than that though, I really mean that the hardcover and quality is beautiful of these editions from Yen Press and they are 10.5in tall, so I hope they carry over that quality on future editions. Agreed that a larger format is great!

I like the black editions but the cropping makes me want to get the box set. lol but the black edition are more in stock than the box sets

[@AngryStraightWhiteMale]

I bought the All-in-one edition for my daughter since it collected everything and was cheap. I paid $24.99. I would go with the box set as what I think would be the best since the all-in-one is a thick boy and not the easiest to read.

[@BornT0Ace]

I would love to own the black editions but going for the budged I’d have to go with the all in one

[@BornT0Ace]

*update* just bought all the black editions after watching more reviews on the all in one and the black editions seem to be the best option

[@Aliasaliasaliashh]

Are you happy with them? Did you make the right decision? (Asking because I'm considering to go with the black edition)

[@BornT0Ace]

Definitely go with the black editions no regrets at all!!

[@Aliasaliasaliashh]

Ok, will do :) thank you!

[@SpaceSloth707]

Guess the right edition for me would be the Black Edition. I know for sure I'll hate the all-in-one edition, but I believe that the box set or the singles would take up more space than the Black edition. Besides, it's kinda cool that the page edges are actually black, and that there are some colored pages, which I didn't even know.

[@dontask9000]

I can’t imagine trying to read the all in one edition 💀💀💀

[@seanmundyphoto]

its challenging lol, but also way more cost effective imo

[@GorbTV-x5f]

I'm getting it from Indigo next month, I'm too lazy to collect, I'd rather get it all in one

[@QKumberZ]

I first got the all in 1, but I saw a really good deal for a second hand box set, so now I have both

[@SillyolJony1525]

this was an extremely well done video. every question i could have had was answered and clearly at that. the only thing i discovered at the very end of the video was that you didnt show the covers of the books of the box set. I agree with your outcome at the end and the extra book is quite the bonus, but i would have gone with the individuals for the sole purpose of the cover art on all of them. if the box set books have the same cover art as the individual books, im set and will immediately purchase that. but if individuals are the only ones with that cover art then i will purchase that instead. this question must be answered :) :edit: i realized after that i could just look up an unboxing on the same website.... ive subscribed and liked, you are a blessing to youtube

I bought the all-in-one edition because it's funny and it was on amazon for 35 bucks. I already have all 104 single volumes of one piece, but I can't wait to buy the one piece all-in-one when the series ends.
