Bloody Monday

I only realized the similarity with around chapter 22 of BM.
There is a mastermind with an initial (K and L). There are genius on both sides of the fighting line attacking with intellect and sleuth. Bloody Monday has more action and blood than Death Note and DN has more brains. There is mystery regarding both the protagonist and antagonist and their plans. Death is brought up on both and justice.
Shounen thrillers with lots of twists and turns. Both sides play a game of mental chess and set up elaborate schemes to catch each other, and we get to watch it all unfold.

Both are shounen thrillers that involve masterminds playing mental chess with each other. Also involves lives at stake in the games between the opposing sides. Death is an integral theme in both plots.

Well to start both are battles being waged out in a mental battlefield, and each side are trying to tip the favor to their side which delivers intense scenes and moments that can not be easily forgotten. Pretty interesting read which keeps you wanting to read the next chapters until your done.

I instantly thought of Death Note when reading Bloody Monday. They are both thrillers that involve a lot of elaborate plans in order for both sides to reach their objective. BM has more action, while DN has more mental planning. The main heroes and villains of each series are very intelligent. Both even have characters that have code names such as L(DN),and J and K(BM). They are both full of twists that make you want to keep reading until the very end. Luckily they are both relatively short. The art style is even very similar.
Both manga involve a mastermind who has a plan in mind to kill a lot of people, although this is for very different reasons in both of the manga. But this is exactly what makes this so interesting. After reading one of these stories you should read the other one to see the other side of what might happen to our world. If you liked one of them I highly recommend reading the other one as well
You want mind games? You got it.
You want mental chess? You got it.
You want gore and killing? You got it!
Both series have two intelligent protagonists who are fighting against each other. In Death Note, it is between Kira and L while in Bloody Monday, the protagonist is actually on the good side, like L and the antagonists are like Kira, who kill for "justice". You got two sides tryin' one-up each other through with fearsome tricks and traps. Both are extremely thrilling and exciting.
If you're into Death Note kinda stuff, like detectives, terrorists, strategies etc. Bloody Monday is for you.
The story follows a high schooler who's secretly a pro level hacker and how he gets himself involved with International affairs and terrorist attacks and threats.
Although I'll admit the story would've been a little more better if the the protag and his friends were to be adults instead of teenagers. But regardless I treat the protag and his gang as adults because i like it that way. It's upto you, him being an high-schooler is not that bad it's just my opinion.
I'm a little surprised why
