The major difference between this and the original anime (aside from the obvious title) is the protagonist being a gender-swapped {{Expy}} of Light Yamagi, who's more [[AdaptationalHeroism well-intentioned and sympathetic.]]

* In the Dark Continent arc of ''Manga/HunterXHunter'', Shizuku asks Chrollo to use one of the Nen powers he stole and stored in his Nen book ([[spoiler:Lovely Ghostwriter]]). Chrollo reveals to her and Bonolenov that said power has disappeared from the book; due to the way his Nen power works, this means that the original user of that power ([[spoiler:that being Neon Nostrade, last seen several arcs ago]]) died. After a pause, Shizuku says "Boss, that book of yours... it's kinda like a Death Note, isn't it?".
