The ol' too much information warning...
Well, I was on Wikipedia learning about Pink Floyd today, and I got COCKY and went searching for info on Deathnote, the new manga I'm buying. BIG MISTAKE (hence the caps). To make a long story short, my search for any info on a neat plot twist I felt for sure was hidden in book two resulted in my knowing a few key plot developments later in the story. Yes, there was the spoiler warning, but the main spoiler was pretty much right below it in the table of contents. And it kind of kills the whole story for me. Deathnote, for non-readers, was shaping up to be a well-drawn (same artist as Hikaru no Go), intelligent mystery/horror manga. Sure, the main character was kind of a snotty sociopath, but part of the fun was watching the antagonist match wits with him. Obviously, I'm not going to say what I found out (just in case anyone else is reading it), but it's made me personally rethink my dedication to buying the series.
The moral of the story... when they say spoiler warning, they mean FREAKIN' spoiler warning. Probably in the next sentence. Normally I'm not the ghoulish sort of person who likes to peak at the ending. (I'm certainly not the extremely ghoulish sort who peaks and then proceeds to tell everyone else). Oh, well. Lesson learned.
