About the author

Tsugumi Ōba (大場つぐみ), born in Tokyo, Japan, is a writer best known for the manga Death Note. His/her real identity is a closely guarded secret. As stated by the profile placed at the beginning of each Death Note manga, Ōba collects teacups and develops manga plots while holding his knees on a chair, similar to a habit of L, one of the main characters of the series.

There is speculation that Tsugumi Ōba is a pen name and that he is really Hiroshi Gamō. Pointing out that in Bakuman the main character's uncle was a one-hit wonder manga artist who worked on a gag super hero manga, very similar to Gamō and Tottemo! Luckyman in all aspects. Also that the storyboards drawn by Ōba greatly resemble Tottemo! Luckyman in style.

waarin
* het verhaal een wel erg noodlottige wending neemt. (*slik*)
* mijn persoonlijke held, 'Ryuk the Shinigami', eindelijk terug opduikt!(hier jong, 'n appeltje!)
* complexe intriges toch wat te veel door tekst ondersteund moeten worden
* maar tekeningen 'prachtig-krachtig' blijven
* doch breek me de bek niet open over de invulling van de vrouwelijke personages (Misamisa, walg!,...). Zal m'n spandoeken nog eens van de zolder moeten halen...
