Tsugumi Ohba became famous for his work on Death Note, but he also wrote other manga, such as Bakuman in 2008 and Platinum End in 2015.

He also praised Takeshi Obata for his amazing work, and in a Viz interview, he said: “My impression of Obata Sensei is that he’s a very serious and sensitive person. I cannot express how lucky I was to have him do the art for my series. I cannot pretend to know so much that I can say he improved and in what way, but I do believe his ability to express himself through art continues to get better and better.”

Death Note was later adapted as a live-action Netflix movie on August 25, 2017, which received a very bad review from anime fans who had already watched the series.
