[Novel] Death Note: Another Novel
The following is taken from Wiki
A novel adaption of the series has been written by Ishin Nishio, called Death Note: Another Note. It serves as a prequel to the manga series, with Mello narrating the story of L's first encounter with Naomi Misora during the Los Angeles "BB Serial Murder Case" mentioned in volume 2 of the manga. Beside Naomi's character, the novel focuses on how L works. Insight was given into Watari's orphanage and how the whole system of geniuses such as L, Mello and Near were put to work.There is only one rule to follow to post in this thread. Do not mention any group that might be scanlating/translating the novel. |

One thing they should include in the novel is more about Matt and his backstory. They didn't personify him a lot. |

I believe that the kind of story that Death Note is--a suspenseful thriller about someone who has a notebook that kills people secretly and those who want the notebook or want to stop the killings amid moral ambiguity--only lends itself to a sequel of the same type, but the fresh elements of that story have already been used so I doubt a writer would be inclined to go there again. It's not that I hope this is the last we see of the series, and I do sincerely believe that a good sequel could be made. I'm not just not optimistic.
So, sorry, that's just my personal opinion. I could indeed be wrong, like how Michael Crichton chose to write The Lost World. The reason I posted was to find out if anyone knew about that other aspect of the novel, so from now one everyone can feel free to respond to that instead of the unnecessary and superfluous extra comment I made about the possibility of a sequel.
