Shinigami – Akamaru Jump

Cover variant released as an appendix of the magazine Akamaru Jump n.24, Summer 2004.

Death Note is a series that always had visually stunning regular covers but this is truly on another level.

This is THE variant you show to your friends to impress them. You can consider it as the “Rolex” of cover variants: undoubtedly impactful, expensive, it gives you status and it’s damn cool. After a while you will probably start looking for a more sophisticated Patek Philippe but until then, this is an essential step for anyone who considers themselves a collector.

Definitely in the top 5 all-time variants ever released.
