Just awful, a complete waste of time. I don't think it's merely the awkward translation, the plot and tropes were weak and lazy. A miniskirt lady who licks stiletto knives and flashes her panties? Puh-leaze. Now the original Death Note series is my favorite manga, and I've read Another Note twice, but this one takes the cake. Here's an example of just how lazy the writing is: My favorite lines in Another Note were about how L's back was bent from the burdens he had to carry and his mouth craved sweets to wash away the bitterness he had to taste. Guess which lines were repeated almost verbatim?
All the characters were flat and boring, unlovable, their motivations completely unbelievable, cartoonish villains... even L felt melodramatic and strange. I could go on forever. At least Another Note had Naomi and BB was a real creepy twist. This gets one star for the gorgeous cover and dust jacket. This is the kind of book you use as an attractive paperweight.
