2004’s Boredom is the first tankōbon of Tsugumi Ohba’s contemporary fantasy manga series, Death Note. Illustrations are by Takeshi Obata. Death Note was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 2004 to 2006.
Existence in the Shinigami realm is exquisitely tedious. The only alternative appears to be to embrace death, something the supernatural beings are loathe to do. Stagnation and decline are terrible, but better than immediate total extinction.
Ryuk has a sudden inspiration. He knows how to entertain himself. Step one: cast his Death Note into the mortal realm.
