The Complete List of Everything Death Note*
*so far excluding merchandising like figures, keychains, plushies, etc. A pretty good masterlist of that can be found on the website for the anime itself!
This list is being kept up to date to the best of my abilities, but reblogs don’t update the content. For maximum accuracy, please visit the source post. If any links are broken or you have something to add, please let me know!
All links for reading and watching are examples - other sources might be available and I encourage legally purchasing the media when possible.
Manga-related Media:
Manga (12 Volumes, 108 chapters) - (x, x, x - English), (x - Japanese) The source canon and original story. The link contains high quality scans of the official English translation by VIZ. Many manga-reading sites display scanlations instead, which’s translation you should take with a grain of salt. The Death Note scanlations are known to be faulty.
‘The C-Kira Case’ / “Chapter 109″ - (x - English) A bonus one-shot manga, taking place after the manga’s finale.
Death Note Pilot Chapter - (x) One-Shot manga that was published before the main series to test interest for the concept. It does not relate to the main manga.
2020 Oneshot / Special Chapter (x) An all-new special one-shot with a one-off plotline.
Death Note: Another Note - (x - English), (x - Japanese) A novel that is set before the manga, in the manga universe.
How To Read 13 - (x - Japanese only, x - English) Bonus Volume to the manga, including character profiles, creator interviews and other special pages. The English version is not currently available online, but VIZ has published an official translation.
‘One Day’ (x - English) & ‘The Wammy’s House’ (x - English) - (x - Japanese) Two L-centric one-shots that were published in ‘L File No. 15′, a photobook for the third movie (see below). Since they were made as part of a movie-verse publication, I personally think they are movie!L not manga!L, but there are dissenting opinions, so I’m linking them here.
Blanc Et Noir (Artbook) (x - Illustrations), (x - Artist’s comments) Takeshi Obata’s artbook. It contains more than just Death Note, but Death Note is the majority of it. All his illustrations are printed here and given commentary. There currently aren’t any actual scans of the commentary, but I linked my own translations of them (based on the official German).
Full color Re-release - (x) In 2012, Shounen Jump released some of its popular manga in full color. There is no otherwise new content and it is only available in Japanese. (There have been some efforts to typeset the official translation into them, but they have not been completed.)
Anime-related Media:
Anime (37 episodes) - (x) Animated adaptation of the manga. Fairly accurate, but cuts a lot of content in the second half. Available on Netflix.
Death Note /A Animation Official Analysis Guide (x) The guidebook for the anime production, including interviews, character profiles, design art, etc. There are tidbit translations in this tag.
Death Note Relight: Visions of a God (OVA) - (x) - OVA that is primarily a retelling of the first arc. There are few new scenes in it. It has an alternative ending and does not count towards the canon anime timeline.
Death Note Relight 2: L’s Successors (OVA) - (x) A retelling of the second arc that features a lot more new scenes and completely alters the timeline. Also non-canon.
Death Note Settei - (x) Design works for the anime that came extra with the DVD release.
Original Sound Track - (x - Tracklist & Booklet)
Original Sound Track II - (x - Tracklist & Booklet)
Original Sound Track III - (x - Tracklist & Booklet)

Did some long over-due maintenance on this today! All links should now be up to date - plus, links to the two translated DS games, as well as the animation guidebook have been added!
I hope you don’t mind me adding on – in case anyone is interested, the coloured comics have been translated into French. This appears to be a fan translation.
Scans of L File No. 15 can now be found here!
There are so many of them!! I only have a cup of L and Light and the second volume of the manga... 😅
