Death Note, Vol. 8: Target (Death Note #8) is a captivating installment in the series. Authored by Tsugumi Ohba, with illustrations by Takeshi Obata and translation by Tetsuichiro Miyaki.

Light, who is operating as Kira and is now the newest member of the NPA intelligence bureau, along with L, has almost achieved his goal of creating an ideal world. However, the years of unchallenged success have made him overly confident and complacent. He is completely unprepared when a new and dangerous attack occurs close to home. His younger sister Sayu is kidnapped, and the kidnappers demand the NPA's Death Note as ransom.

Now, Light must embark on a journey across the world to face two new adversaries, each having a very distinct agenda. The question remains: Will Light's sharp intellect and quick wits be sufficient to overcome this new and formidable challenge? Or will he be compelled to make a difficult choice between Kira's ambitious plans and the safety and lives of his own family? This volume promises to be a thrilling and intense continuation of the Death Note saga.

This review rates the work as more of a 3.5 out of 5.

I found myself dozing off a few times during the reading. Additionally, I wasn't satisfied with how Light wasn't at his best in the first half of this volume. One of the main reasons I initially fell in love with this series was that he was always a step ahead or at least had a good understanding of what was happening at all times.

I do like Near, but he definitely hasn't reached the level of adoration that L had.

However, my biggest issue with this series remains the portrayal of female characters. There is a distinct lack of strong women and a general shortage of female characters in general. The way Light treats Misa makes me angry every time, and now it has reached a point where I skim through those passages because it becomes tiresome to see Misa's non-reaction to it.

Overall, while the series has its strengths, these aspects do detract from the overall experience for me.

I constantly find myself thinking that Mello is a girl. Lol. There's just something about the name that gives me that impression. Maybe it's the soft sound of the vowels or the way it rolls off the tongue. Every time I hear the name Mello, my mind immediately pictures a young, charming girl with a sweet smile. I can imagine her with long, flowing hair and a gentle personality. But of course, I know that Mello could be a boy's name too. It's funny how our minds can make assumptions based on something as simple as a name. Nevertheless, my initial thought that Mello is a girl persists, and it always brings a smile to my face when I think about it.

So here ends the series re-read.

I had read the series digitally till this volume. Now going forward, it will be a new story.

Coming back to this volume, this book took the story for the first time out of Japan all the way to the US of A. New players have joined the game from both worlds, ours and theirs.

Now let's explore the unknown next 4 volumes and Keep on Reading.

I have always loved comics, and I hope always to love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics, Diamond Comics, or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on international and classic comics and Graphic novels.

I am on my quest to read as many comics as I can. I love comics to bits. May the comics never leave my side.

I loved reading this and love reading more. You should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.

Comics have a unique charm that can transport us to different worlds and introduce us to a plethora of interesting characters. They can make us laugh, cry, and feel a whole range of emotions.

Whether it's the vibrant colors, the engaging storylines, or the detailed illustrations, there's something about comics that keeps us coming back for more.

So, don't be afraid to explore new comics and expand your reading horizons. You might just discover a new favorite.

And remember, no matter what, always Keep on Reading!

This volume was just okay.

I really like Near and I liked the creative setting of the hostage situation. It was quite an interesting concept that added a certain level of excitement to the story.

However, unfortunately, the rest of this volume was just mediocre. The plot didn't seem to progress as much as I had hoped, and some of the characters' actions and decisions felt a bit forced.

I'm still hoping this series will get back to the epicness of the first couple of volumes. Those early volumes were truly captivating, with their complex storylines and intense character development. I miss that level of excitement and engagement.

Despite this volume's shortcomings, I'm still willing to give the series a chance and see where it goes from here. Maybe the next volume will bring back the magic and make me fall in love with the series all over again.

Okay, this series has truly become a bit lackluster. It simply isn't the same as it used to be. It's all about corporate this and government that, Near this and Misa that. Light seems to keep making rather dumb mistakes. I suppose the intention is to make us more intrigued by what's happening and to heighten the suspense. However, I'm really not feeling it at all.

This volume gives the impression that Takeshi Obata went on vacation and hired someone to feebly continue the series in whatever mediocre way they could manage. It lacks the spark and creativity that made the earlier parts of the series so captivating. The story seems to be going through the motions without any real excitement or innovation. It's a disappointment, to say the least.

Things are truly getting crazy. It's as if the world has gone into overdrive and everything is happening at an alarming pace. *Hair pulls and teeth biting ultra fast* It feels like there's no escape from this chaos. Everywhere you look, there are unexpected events and challenges popping up left and right. It's enough to make anyone's head spin. The stress is palpable, and it seems to be intensifying with each passing moment. But in the midst of all this madness, we have to find a way to stay calm and keep going. We can't let the craziness consume us. We have to hold on tight and ride out this storm, hoping that things will eventually settle down and return to some semblance of normalcy.
