Complicated
Out of all the volumes I've read so far I think volumes 5 and 6 are by far the worst. BUT that does NOT mean they're bad. It's just the previous issues had more exciting content where these two volumes had more talking (which was essential to the development of the plot and the characters).
The ending of volume 6 though was a really good cliff-hanger and the climatic scenes were very well done!
Plus I really miss Ryuk!

Woah...my head is spinning right now! I think this is definitely the most convoluted volume I've read so far. There were a few instances where I had to go back and check on a few things but maybe it's just far too intelligent for my pea-brain!
Anyway, the stakes are higher than ever in this third volume and this time focuses on L, Light and Misa working together in order to apprehend Kira.
And yes...I'm pretty confused about Light not knowing that he was Kira...or maybe he does know and he's just acting...ahhhh, my head hurts.
Death Note Vol. 3 is a compelling and high-octane read, and is a fabulous addition to the series. I've given it 4 stars though as I was a bit confused at times and think I might need a lie down now...
A bit slow but the action picked up in the last 100 pages or so. Still really good tho.
Picks up towards the end, finally. The plot writing is still really good though - I can’t imagine having to pick up all these threads and managing to weave them together, and yet creating even more.
Death Note: Black Edition, Vol. 3 by Tsugumi Ohba gets the ball rolling!
After a week locked up with no one but Ryuk for company, Light is ready to give up his Death Note and all memories of it. Freed from his past actions, Light is convinced he's innocent. But L is keen to keep Light under lock and key forever, especially since the killings stopped once Light was incarcerated. Then a new wave of Kira crimes hits Japan. Someone else has gotten their hands on a Death Note, and these recent deaths aren't focused on making the world a better place; they're focused on making money. Big business can be murder, and Kira has gone corporate!
Although they've collected plenty of evidence tying the seven Yotsuba Group members to the newest Kira, Light, L and the rest of the task force are no closer to discovering which one possesses the Death Note. Desperate for some headway, L recruits Lisa to infiltrate the group and feed them information calculated to bring Kira into the open. But the Shinigami Rem reveals to Misa who the Kiras are, and, armed with this knowledge, Misa will do anything to help Light. But what will that mean for L...?
This volume has a good amount of new characters. It might be hard to remember them all, but it's great that we get to see a few of their backstories and the relationships they have with other characters. It's also worth mentioning that Misa's hyper energy and strange priorities give this impression, though it's ambiguous when it's genuine and when she's playing up an act.
