4.0 AVERAGE


Still brilliantly and intricately plotted and highly compelling. Really makes the use of the graphic novel format in a way that feels unique. Having said all that the gender politics are truly woeful and then some...

My sympathy for Light grows drier and drier. He's such a terrible person. Come on, Near, get 'em!

Me gustó más que el volumen anterior que se sintió como de relleno. Acá más personajes empiezan a sospechar de Light y su actitud de vuelve cada vez más oscura y manipuladora. Me gustó el nuevo personaje que se suma a la historia y que haya vuelto un personaje que pensé que ya no volvería. Eso le dio una gran vuelta de tuerca a la trama que de vez en cuando se estanca un poquito. El siguiente volumen creo que va a ser potente.

past characters are getting to show now, that for sure will help to reveal a lot or more accurate uncover Kira`s identify...

The way women are portrayed in the story is just too annoying, I have read a comment about that thought, but at that time I was only in the very first chapters so I didn't make a lot out of it; but now at very last chapters, it has started to get too much to think of it as mere coincidence, the writer describes them as useless, stupid, plain characters that can be used and then get disposed of as a mere tool, and the only woman that was with a good portray got killed as soon as she has shown up....

the cliffhanger still so annoying as ever !!!
