Both Light Yagami (Kira) and Super Sleuth L are hot on the trail of the newest twist in this story. Light recognizes the work of another DeathNote in play. He is certain that there is someone else out there using the power of the DeathNote. However, L can't decide if it's a second Kira or just a copycat killer.


You know, if you'd told me this would be another volume of intrigue and a continuation of the battle of wits between L and Light and our third player, I likely would have sighed and prepared to be tired of it. But, \\n  it was so good though!\\n Light and L continue their intense race to discover each other's secrets. Light manages to discover who Kira 2 is, but he incorrectly assumes that this Kira isn't too smart. I just absolutely love all of the intrigue and machinations of these characters. The way they plot and scheme against each other is truly captivating.


I also appreciated the humor of Light having a devoted admirer to deal with. In fact, it's more accurate to say that he is annoyed by this admirer. Additionally, this volume also got me in the feels just a smidge as I got more insight into the Shinigami and the uses of the DeathNote. The more I learn about this world, the more fascinated I become.


Safe to say I'm a huge fan of the series and eager to see what Volume 5 holds! I can't wait to find out what new twists and turns the story will take and how the battle between Light and L will continue to unfold.

Death Note, Vol. 4: Love (Death Note #4) by Tsugumi Ohba and translated by Alexis Kirsch presents a thrilling continuation of the story.

With two Kiras running amok, the situation has become extremely complex. L, the brilliant detective, makes a bold move. He asks Light to join the task force and pretend to be the real Kira. L still has his doubts about Light and sees this as the ideal opportunity to get closer to him and uncover the truth.

Light, on the other hand, agrees to the plan. His motive is to have unrestricted access to the task force resources, which he believes will help him in his own pursuit. However, when Light finally manages to establish contact with the new Kira, he realizes that his rival is not at all what he had anticipated.

The question now is, will Light be able to escape from the clutches of love unscathed? As the story unfolds, the tension mounts, and readers are left on the edge of their seats, eagerly waiting to see what will happen next.

OK, now I'm just extremely annoyed! Earlier in this series, I wasn't overly enthusiastic about the portrayal of women. This was mainly because of the lack of truly meaningful female characters. There seemed to be a void where strong, complex female personalities should have been. However, now that an important female character has emerged, it's just as frustrating. All she does is squeal and mope about boys. She's constantly focused on her appearance, wearing short skirts and modeling. Oh, and to make matters worse, she gets tortured. It's really infuriating. GRRRRR.


It seems that the creators of this series still haven't quite grasped how to create well-rounded and engaging female characters. Instead of giving her depth and substance, they've reduced her to these rather one-dimensional traits. It's a missed opportunity to showcase the potential and diversity of female characters. I really hope that in future installments, they'll do a better job of portraying women in a more positive and meaningful way.

*MIND-BLOWN*

The story is truly remarkable. Everything within it is absolutely very well-thought. The characters are so vividly drawn that they seem to leap off the page. Their monologues are deep and thought-provoking, giving us a profound insight into their inner worlds. The dialogues are equally engaging, flowing naturally and adding to the overall charm of the narrative. It's as if every word has been carefully chosen to create a masterpiece. I can't wait to read the rest. I find myself going through it all at an incredibly fast pace, completely addicted. It's one of those rare books that grabs your attention from the very beginning and refuses to let go. I'm eager to see what other surprises and delights await me as I continue on this literary journey.

I read this volume on Shonen Jump. Although I'm not the most enthusiastic about reading manga digitally, my bank account will surely be grateful for the significant amount of money I save with that subscription.


At first, I was intrigued by the drama that Misa introduced to the story. However, she is extremely naive and easily falls prey to Light's manipulation. As a result, their entire relationship feels not only unpleasant but also highly toxic.


Nonetheless, there were two aspects of this volume that I truly adored.


I was fascinated by the revelation of how Shinigami can die. It was a novel twist that I had not anticipated from this series. It was truly touching, and I suspect it will play a crucial role later on in the story.


The other part that I loved was the friendship between L and Light. L is a rather reclusive individual, so it was beautiful to see him refer to Light as a friend. I'm fully aware that this will ultimately lead to heartbreak in the future, but I'm prepared to face the emotional turmoil that might come my way towards the end of this series.

The plot is so engaging and full of excitement.

Every turn of the page brings a new surprise.

I find myself completely immersed in this fictional world.

The characters are well-developed and their actions and decisions keep me on the edge of my seat.

I'm eager to know how the story will unfold and what fate has in store for them.

I hope the next volume will be released soon so that I can continue this thrilling adventure.

Until then, I'll be constantly thinking about the events that have transpired and trying to guess what might come next.

This is definitely a story that has left a lasting impression on me.

Rem <3

Misa is truly one of a kind. She can be as silly as can be, sometimes even more clueless than a hammer. XD But you know what? That's what makes her so endearing.

Despite her occasional moments of naivete, there's something about Misa that just draws me in. Maybe it's her infectious energy or her ability to find joy in the simplest of things.

I can't help but smile whenever I'm around her, even when she does something completely absurd. And that's the beauty of our relationship.

I like Misa just the way she is, flaws and all. She brings a unique charm to my life that I wouldn't trade for anything. :P

"TO je tááák boží. <3

Btw: STÁLE ČEKÁM NA VLASTNÍ DEATHNOTE! A už mě to čekání nebaví."

This short text seems to express a strong emotion of something being "divine" and also the frustration of waiting for one's own Death Note. It might be from someone who is a big fan of the Death Note concept. The use of the Czech language gives it a unique touch.

Perhaps the person is imagining all the possibilities that would come with having their own Death Note. They could be thinking about how they would use it, what kind of power it would give them, and how it would change their life.

However, the waiting is starting to wear them down. They are no longer amused by it and are eager for the moment when they will finally get their hands on that precious notebook.

Overall, this text gives a glimpse into the passionate and impatient mind of a Death Note enthusiast.

This particular one took me quite a while to make my way through.

It seemed as if it was merely filler material that was there to set up other plot lines.

There was a distinct lack of excitement or engaging elements within it.

The story seemed to drag on, and I found myself losing interest at times.

It felt like the author was more focused on laying the groundwork for future events rather than creating a captivating narrative in this particular section.

However, I understand that sometimes these types of setups are necessary to build a complex and detailed story.

Despite my initial disappointment, I am still hopeful that the subsequent plot lines will be more interesting and engaging.

I will continue to read on, eager to see how the story unfolds and if the setup in this section pays off in the end.

The series keeps getting more and more exciting, and the fourth volume is no different.

In this new chapter, the circle tightens around Light. 'L' is always vigilant about the events related to Kira, and a new character, Misa, makes an appearance. I devoured it in one go, captivated by the numerous events and plot twists that unfold during the story.

The battle between Kira and 'L' intensifies with each passing moment. Every cunning move of the former is instantly examined and analyzed by the latter. Light has to deal with the second Kira, which proves to be a difficult problem to solve and could potentially lead to his downfall.

The character of Misa, the new addition, is often ambiguous. In some cases, she is childish, while in others, she is shrewd and determined. However, she still adheres a bit too much to the stereotype of the frivolous girl, perhaps underestimated.

I must admit that with all these rules and the diary, it reminds me of an RPG. But the many reversals and twists maintain the reader's attention, making it an interesting and never-boring story.

At one point, the identity of 'L' is questioned, suggesting that there could be more than one.

The ending is amazing. It's almost painful not to be able to continue immediately with the next volume.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it remains one of my favorite manga.

The way Remu cared for Misa <33333333

Remu's care for Misa was truly remarkable.

She was always there for Misa, through thick and thin. Whether Misa was feeling happy or sad, Remu would listen attentively and offer words of comfort and support.

Remu would also go out of her way to make sure Misa was well taken care of. She would prepare delicious meals for Misa, ensuring that she ate a balanced diet.

In addition, Remu would help Misa with her studies, patiently explaining difficult concepts and helping her with her homework.

Overall, Remu's care for Misa was a shining example of true friendship and love.

She was always willing to do whatever it took to make Misa happy and healthy, and her actions spoke volumes about her kind and caring nature.

Misa was truly lucky to have Remu in her life, and their friendship was sure to last a lifetime.
