This series is definitely starting to get a bit far-reaching in this volume, I’m not convinced it really needed to continue beyond the last volume.

this one was my least favourite so far, maybe because the net feels like it’s closing around light and there’s no realistic way out? i also wish i was more invested in near bc he’s super cute but i miss L :-( near hasn’t had as much time to get me on side so i care less about him winning, plus he seems to have got to light a lot quicker.
also… i miss the shinigami. ryuk was one of my favourite parts about the first volume and now he’s wayyy in the background.
i really hope this last one blows my socks off n doesnt feel a bit meh.
