Such a slow beginning that just wasn't connecting with me. The last 100 pages or so really picked up and changed it
Probably closer to 3.5 because while I didn't love the emphasis on the Yotsuba group, it was really interesting to see the evolution of Light from beginning to end of the volume.
The cracks are starting to show at this point. The characters leap to the correct conclusions too often, and their reasoning doesn't make a ton of sense. That being said, the art is still phenomenal, and the book is really hard to put down. Practically every chapter ends with a cliff hanger. The fact that I've already watched the anime, and can't remember how it ends suggests the ending isn't that great, but I still really want to know what happens next.
This volume almost makes Light seem like a likeable guy. Almost.

Actual rating 3.5/5 This one as good but kind of uneventful at times. The ending was super intense though.
Light is in prison and so is Misa and the killings have stopped, but thanks to the rules of Death Notes, both Kiras have forgotten their Kiraing so both are convinced of their own innocence and want to help catch Kira. L is confused, but if he was easily thrown off the trail he wouldn't be L. Then more Kira killings begin, and a group of corporate executives meet to discuss people whose death would benefit their corporation, while one of them who is Kira or is connected to Kira goes off and kills them! What the heck! L. Light and Misa team up to catch this new Kira, but if this new Kira is caught there's a chance L will learn enough to implicate Light It's like The Big Clock only and Misa but Light and Misa don't know this! HEADWRECKING! It's like The Big Clock only with Death Gods. Love it.
*4.5*
There were a few slow parts in this one, but DANG the last 50 pages or so were nuts!
