Worth it
I recently read this entire series and the ending did pay off. I really enjoyed the story and the suspense, particularly when it dwelled on the moral implications of action and inaction.
The art is beautiful, dark and admirably detailed, some of the most realistically drawn manga I've ever seen. The character designs are also lovely (I particularly appreciated the intentionally androgynous Mello).
I recommend "Death Note" to those new to manga who are interested in checking out the genre; this series is rooted more in the "real world" than the more popular action manga (like "Naruto" or "Fullmetal Alchemist") which those unfamiliar with manga may find off-putting. (but they are great too!)
Give Death Note a try. It's addictive!
