Death Note Watch Order: follow one version of Light's contest
Death Note is told in a 12-volume manga (2004–2006) and a 2006 anime series, with live-action films, dramas and a 2017 Netflix film retelling it separately. Read the main manga from Volume 1 through Volume 12, or begin the anime as its own route.

Relight revisits anime material; it is not a new pair of arcs that must follow the main series.
Overview & recommendation
Light and L's contest depends on each side discovering what the other knows. Reading the volumes in sequence or following the anime preserves that unfolding exchange better than switching between adaptations with similar titles.
The live-action interpretations change the story in their own ways. A companion one-shot, recap film or game can offer another experience without being a missing chapter of the central manga.
Choose manga or anime as the main introduction. Follow one live-action branch independently if you prefer that format, and use recap or companion material for comparison rather than compulsory repetition.
Source, animation and multiple screen reinterpretations Versions rather than one shared calendar
Manga and anime have their own routes. Japanese films, the Japanese television drama and Netflix interpretations are separately identified; games likewise need title-specific story context. An announced series is not an available continuation.
Manga (13 entries)
The original manga's numbered main volumes and represented companion one-shot; follow the main volume sequence before optional additional material.
Anime (3 entries)
The main anime adaptation and optional Relight recap presentations, which revisit rather than extend its central story.
Japanese Live-Action Films (5 entries)
The Japanese live-action film branch beginning in 2006, with its own related screen continuations.
Games (1 entry)
Represented Death Note game experiences, requiring their own adaptation and story context rather than automatic manga-canon placement.
Japanese TV Drama (1 entry)
The standalone 2015 Japanese television retelling, separate from the film branch.
Netflix Film (1 entry)
The separate Netflix film interpretation, not a sequel to the Japanese adaptations.
Netflix Series (1 entry)
The announced Netflix television adaptation, retained as a future project rather than an available continuation of the film.
Keep the contest's sequence intact 25 entries
The manga follows volume numbers. Anime viewing begins with the main series, while the Japanese film route starts with its 2006 film before The Last Name.

Reading order is not publication-year arithmetic 25 entries
Volumes and each adaptation have their own sequence. Book publication dates and screen-release years do not create one calendar across every version of Light and L.
