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.

I'm so happy that the task force members (most of them anyways) are finally using their brains! It was always so irritating how everyone was so adamant about Light's innocence. I get why they were written that way, and why they felt that way (I wouldn't want my close friend to be a complete psychopath either), but it didn't make it any less annoying lol.

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 !!!

It’s picking up again, but I can’t overlook the misogyny on this series but especially on this volume.

I was questioning some plot choices for a minute there, but this volume was back at it and I’m completely hooked again.

“IT'S IMPOSSIBLE
THAT NO ONE FINDS THE NEW L SUSPICIOUS, ESPECIALLY AFTER I MADE SUCH CONTROVERSIAL COMMENTS, AND IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT INCIDENTS.
IF THEY DIDN'T, THEN THEY'RE WORSE THAN PRESCHOOLERS.”
Near is now my favorite character in Death Note and I forgot just how good he is as the foil to Light Yagami. I also forgot about Teru and his background, but honestly, I feel more for his character than I do for the sociopath that is Light. Teru wants to bring Justice into the world because of what he has experienced firsthand, Light does it because he’s bored. Honestly, the introduction of Teru, Mello, and Near are all very welcome into the series being my second time around, and they never felt out of place nor unwanted, something I felt when I first completed the series. I believe if Teru and Light interacted as much Light and L, Teru would write his name in the Death Note. I like the reintroduction of Takki from University as the new spokesperson for Kira, being the news anchor for NHN, and how Near immediately sends his team to Japan to track Kira down. Another great volume that kept me invested in what was to come next.
