3.0

Yeah, this series really just doubles down on the "all men are superior to women" thing and it's incredibly annoying. Just how smart are Light, Mello and Near if every single woman is written as though they're all sharing a single brain cell?

It's bad enough Misa is obsessed with Light, who treats her like an underpaid intern. Now we have Takada, who was smart enough to get into the university the all knowing, and "amazingly brilliant" Light got into, but she's dumb enough to be his blind messenger now? It's just sad because what a missed opportunity to FINALLY have a female character with a brain.

But alas - this story continues to sort of overcomplicate itself. L's clues help Near and Ide come to the realization that Light is still the prime suspect for being Kira and they continue to close in on obtaining proof of his identity. The next volume is the last volume in the series and I'm curious to see how it ends.
