I’m finally free of the shackles of this volume 😭 I absolutely HATE this arc of the story. I need Light to be evil to feel happiness. 

I remember watching the anime, and this arc was also dreadful. I don’t think it’s a bad inclusion, it makes sense, but the problem is that I love it when my man Light is intentionally being unhinged. Him genuinely trying to help L is painful. I want to see him SCHEMING. 

Thankfully, it’s over. The war is over. I can finally move on to the rest of the volumes 🙏🏼 Technically, the arc isn’t over yet but we’re getting there.

The saga off making a statement and then contemplating, thinking and discussing that same statement in 5 different ways and then thinking if the other party thought of said statement and is making plans against it continues....

This is getting boring real fast.
