If they don't then I'll be like the picture attached to this comment for the rest of my life. So I beg you, PLEASE!!! :banghead:

I don't think it will. Data

I don't think it will. Data books don't usually come out here nor do the special edition items ever. It would be really nice but I just don't think so. You'd really better get it while its there. It'll be gone soon I'm sure. But if it does come out it won't be out for a long while a long long while America is so darn slow. :-(

Yes, it will

Stores such as Barnes and Noble will have it available on February 19th

L's True Name

L'S TRUE NAME IS LAWLIET...

LAWLIET.............LAWLIET..............LAWLIET

bastard!

WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU POST HIS NAME WHEN THE SERIES ISNT DONE IN AMERICA YOU YOU F****** SPOILER!

Lol

That spoiler wont kill you trust me, that info you cant get from Anime/Manga, only by buying a special edition called "How to read 13".
And trust me, you'll be craz to find it after you see the end of the Anime, so let's say he just "saved" you and not "killed u wih spoilers" (that's not an spoiler at all, that's doesnt even in the anime/managa..)

Idiot

Dude...you were so asking for it by coming here anyways

Haha, that's old news!

Landohiu, most of us have known that for a while now XDD But seriously, that's messed up for those who didn't know that. I know it's technically not a spoiler but that's still something people don't want spoiled for them. But I do want to know if that's his first or last name? It sounds like a last name but I've heard people saying it like if it's his first name.

you ass you should not have

you ass you should not have said the godda????????? name ass

pls. ans.

is there a continuation about the boy in volume 13? pls answer...

No continuation

I think volume 13 is the last one?

So....

So volume 13 is def. not released in America and will seemingly never be released here? Dern. ;_;

DAMN ENGLAND

How do you think we english people feel, we have to import all our manga, an official UK version of the original dragonball manga only came out 2 years ago, how sucky is that, luckily though i know a good shop that has imported all the deathnote series ^_^

I can't wait!!!

Guys, it's coming to the States. I just read in Shonen Jump that it's coming next year! YAY!!! But I think I'll buy the regular version. I mean, if the special edition was only a few dollars more, then ok I'd buy it. But $35.00 is too much for me. I wish I could have those puppets, though T_T

Need to get it

I can't wait I have to order it asap I want to know L's real name (I didn't read the one here) and I can read japanese :P

i cannot find this book yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I go to the book store 2 times a week and I can never find this darn book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tell me which store I have to go to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a copy

I did get a copy of the Japanses Version, my local bookstore was selling two copies-normal edition- at ??8.50 each...I bought it knowing it was a once in a lifetime thing, I think I'll tell you about it (please don't hate me I'm not trying to brag)
First it shows info and Stats on all the characters in the series, then the Shinigami (including ones you didn't know qbout)
Then it shows the evnts of Death Note in detail, and of course, the interview with Takeshi Obata and Ohba Tsugumi. Then it even tells you how to draw the characters including the design processes. tHen all the DN rules. Then an odd section (no idea I can't read japanese) called 'How to Play'Ryuk's Jiyuuchou'
which looks like lists of stuff, like L's calorie intake in the entire series, Near's toy wishlist, Misa's wardrobe. Then some short comics with L falling of a cliff, Ryuk finding a holy apple. Watari whelling L around ina pram,L, Light and Misa's day at the beach, Ryuk (what look's like) vomiting in Misa's underwear. And the original story for Shonen Jump which reveals -THE BIGGEST SPOILER EVR TURN THE F*CK AWAY NOW - That the victims off the death note come back to life if erased with a rubber. I hope this is useful and you didn't ignore the spoiler warning

L and Light at the Beach

I own a Death Note online club and have been desperately trying to find scanlations of the short comics in this book (such as the beach story) online to no avail. I'd like to show them to our club members. Do you know where I can find these shorts online or may I ask if there is anyway you can post them online for our club? Thank you. :)

The people don't actually come back to life if their names are erased. That was a beginning idea that never made it into the final piece. And and and....I want to see Near's toy wish list!! If anyone (who has the book) wants to tell it to me just send me an email!!

How do you buy it... I can't read what the website says... :( I wish I knew Japanese...

You guys are dumb. Vol. 13

You guys are dumb. Vol. 13 is already out. It's been out. I got it last year in Eng. at Barnes and Nobles. You can also get it at Borders. It's also not the last book. You still have the BB Murder case book and L File No. 15, which the movie is called L Change The World. Those two books will be made into movies. I bet you also didn't know that the Shinigami who visits Ryuk is Light. He goes to find him by asking the other Shinigami where he is because he explains to them he did great things on earth and found Ryuk and Ryuk knew who the Shinigami was and Ryuk basically tells Light what all happened. Death Note is Ryuk's story. Also, Misa kills herself one year later after she found out Light was Kira and dies. She stabs herself because that's how she was supposed to die anyways before Gelus saved her.

Haha. xD I so want the

Haha. xD
I so want the little finger puppets.
