Imagine one day finding a mysterious notebook. Soon you realise you can kill people by writing their names in it. From now on, you have the power to decide who lives and who dies – would you use it?

The philosophical anime Death Note deals with this hypothetical scenario. When Light Yagami finds the titular Death Note, he uses it mostly to execute violent criminals and to implement his own version of justice. But the increased deaths attract the attention of L, a detective who plans on convicting Light. In L’s eyes, he is nothing but a psychopathic serial killer. Death Note is not centred on good vs. evil but everything in between. The cunning cat-and-mouse game of the two masterminds through the moral grey area makes Death Note quite unique.

If you can’t get enough of Light and L’s mind games, you can revive them with this officially licensed Death Note Colour-Changing Mug. At first glance, this mug simply looks lpretty with the portraits of the two protagonists on it. But something is hidden: pouring hot liquid reveals the scene with your Shinigami eyes, and you realise that the spirit Ryuk is standing behind Light and that L’s monitor with his trademark sign is behind him. When the mug cools, the ghost and the monitor disappear again.

This makes your daily morning coffee or tea much more interesting, especially if you combine it with a juicy red apple ;).
