Death Note: Black Edition, Vol. 5 by Tsugumi Ohba
4.0
4/5 Stars: ‘Death Note’ (Book #5 of ‘Black Edition’) by Tsugumi Ohba.
→ Age Range: Young Adult.
→ Genre: Manga, Criminal Fantasy.
→ Trigger Warnings: Toxic Masculinity, Emotional Manipulation, Violence.
In-depth Rating:
→ Plot: ★★★★★
→ Character Development: ★★★★
→ Setting: ★★★
→ Entertainment Level: ★★★★
→ Writing: ★★★★
General Comments: A battle of wits; convoluted with several twists and unexpected turns that build up towards the impending finale. The original ‘Cat-and-Mouse’ chase is whittled down; whilst unfortunate, it masterfully adds to the tense and imminent doom approaching: will the protagonist or antagonist win? But who is who? The high-concept thriller never ceases to impress.
Favourite Quote: ‘You said she’s smart, but it only means she got high marks. She’s actually a stupid woman.’
Time Read: One Day.
