Cultural differences...

[telophase]

A few days ago the Death Note artist, Takeshi Obata, was arrested for having a knife* in his glove compartment. The fact that it's news that the publisher will not withdraw his books is rather telling about how profitable his books are the differences between Japanese and American culture, I think.




* With a 3.5" blade, as another news report I can't find now said. He says it was for camping. At any rate, most of the people I know are considerably better armed than that on a daily basis, being in possession of Leathermans and other sorts of pocketknives, so it's rather amusing.




Mello would be significantly better armed than that, but then again Mello wouldn't get caught.

Also, how apt of you to make a DN post, since I dreamed I read the ending. Keep in mind I've only read the first chapter of the manga. The ending in my dream was really gory and nasty. . .Light had a personal fairy and when he jumped off a skyscraper, she couldn't do a thing about it. GROSS!

UNCANNY!!! That's EXACTLY the ending! XD

Omigod, you have spoiled the ending for me: I "HATE" you!

(Sorry, I don't know how to do the little sparklies. But I should get points for throwing in the gratuitous quotes :)

Without the sparklies, the only it could have been better is if you spelled it .
