What is this, Death Note week?

First Virginia, then Tennessee, and now Massachusetts, there are Death Note lists everywhere, I guess. And the reactions are only getting worse.

In this case it was a boy (12 years old) and a girl (13), and they have actually been charged with “threatening to commit murder and disrupting school” by the cops.

And yet again, no one mentions the Death Note series. I guess that’s not entirely a bad thing, since it means the mainstream isn’t starting to associate manga with troubled kids and death threats or whatever.

    12 and 13? Deathnote is a 15+ show, such irresponsible parents. The police should not take any action at all, its stupid to make such a fuss over a toy. This show is on adult swim, not Middle schooler kiddy pool.
