Death Note licensed by Viz

Desu Nōto has been hugely popular in Japan in the last few months, and it’s even spawned two live-action movies in Japan. Justly so, since it’s a taut and riveting series, and I’ve been following it on a weekly basis.

Until this week, that is. Last week, Viz announced that they’ve received the stateside licensing for the series, which stops legitemate fansubs cold. Viz doesn’t have the best track record of localization, so this was hardly considered positive news.
