Death Note story shows similarity to vintage ’73 manga

ComiPress have posted an interesting news article (including images) about a mysterious one-shot manga novel called “The Miraculous Notebook”, published in Japan during 1973, which in terms of narrative shows an extreme similarity to the concept of Shonen Jump’s all conquering Death Note. In essence both stories contain a typical notebook capable of killing anyone whose name is written inside.
