Tsugumi Ohba & Takeshi Obata

Writer

Tsugumi Ohba (a pseudonymous manga writer) and Takeshi Obata (manga artist) are a Japanese creative duo best known for the manga series Death Note and Bakuman.

Death Note was serialized 2003–2006 and adapted into a 37-episode anime and several live-action films. The duo also collaborated on Bakuman (2008–2012).

The provided review summarizes Death Note's premise: a shinigami drops a supernatural notebook that enables Light Yagami to kill by writing names. The review praises the original storyline, the intellectual duel between Light and L, and Obata's detailed artwork. A noted flaw is a perceived lack of deep psychological introspection for some characters.

For:Manga readers; fans of psychological thrillers; readers who enjoy intellectual cat-and-mouse narratives

 This is how Death Note begins, a 12-volume manga (plus a thirteenth special edition) created by screenwriter Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by master Takeshi Obata, which has now become a cult, from which an animated series of 37 episodes and 3 live-action movies have also been made.
