Like many of these encyclopaedias for fictions this contains a lot of completely uninteresting information. However, there are a few really fascinating bits of info - that Ohba regards both L and Light as evil, that neither of the creators liked Near, that Ohba is inspired by the works of artist Jean Jansem. Most interestingly is the fact that both Ohba and Obata emphasised the philosophical ambiguity and the absence of any pretentious, didactic message; for me this is what makes Death Note so fascinating and so open to meandering and entertaining speculation. Death Note 13 also increased my respect for the artwork and the complexity and skill invested into this side of the manga.
The best feature of this bonus instalment was the inclusion of the Death Note pilot. This gives the reader real insight into how the idea developed from an interesting semi-philosophical (meta-ethical) thought experiment into one of the greatest fiction thrillers ever conceived. The flaws in the pilot have been aptly removed from the series, leaving only what makes Death Note the classic manga that it is.
