Tsugumi Ōba (Profile in Japanese: 大場 つぐみ), born in Tokyo, Japan, is a writer best known for the manga Death Note. His/her real identity is a closely guarded secret. As stated by the profile placed at the beginning of each Death Note manga, Ōba collects teacups and develops manga plots while holding his knees on a chair, similar to a habit of L, one of the main characters of the series.

There is speculation that Tsugumi Ōba is a pen name and that he is really Hiroshi Gamō. Pointing out that in Bakuman the main character's uncle was a one-hit wonder manga artist who worked on a gag super hero manga, very similar to Gamō and Tottemo! Luckyman in all aspects. Also that the storyboards drawn by Ōba greatly resemble Tottemo! Luckyman in style.

I’m still thoroughly enjoying the way that this series is plotted out.

Every single last detail has been crafted with such precision and care, it’s truly remarkable.

However, I must admit that the mind games are beginning to feel a bit repetitive.

Thankfully, Misa joined the series in this volume, and I have high hopes that she will disrupt this repetitiveness.

I believe she has the potential to add some much-needed drama and excitement to the story.

Her character seems to bring a new dynamic that could really shake things up.

It will be interesting to see how her presence affects the other characters and how the plot unfolds from here.

I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of chaos and conflict she brings to the table.

Overall, while the repetitiveness of the mind games is a bit of a drawback, I’m still hopeful that Misa’s addition will breathe new life into the series.

Kachamak, figuratively speaking, continued to be stirred with all its might, while the intellectual confrontation between the two brilliant minds was taking place. And for the delight of the finale of this second part, The Notebook of Death came onto the scene. Nais, a!


Kachamak was like a cauldron of ideas, churning and bubbling as the two geniuses engaged in a battle of wits. The tension in the air was palpable, as if the very fabric of the universe was being stretched to its limits.


And then, like a thunderbolt from the blue, The Notebook of Death made its appearance. It was as if it held the key to all the mysteries that the two minds were grappling with. Nais, with a sense of anticipation, awaited what was to come next.

I am gradually coming to the end of the skins I have, and this makes me sad.

I have spent a lot of time and effort on these skins, and they have become an important part of my collection.

Each skin has its own unique style and charm, and I have a special affection for them.

However, as time passes, I have to face the reality that these skins will eventually run out.

This makes me feel a sense of loss and regret.

I hope that I can find a way to preserve these skins or get new ones to continue my collection.

But for now, all I can do is cherish the remaining skins and enjoy the time I have with them.

Death Note, Vol. 3: Hard Run (Death Note, #3), Tsugumi Ohba

Light, in an effort to continue his work, cleverly hides a LCD Mini Television in a bag of chips. This allows him to view criminals while pretending to study as he writes their names. Meanwhile, L decides to remove the cameras but still strongly suspects Light as Kira. Some time later, Light enters Toho University, where he encounters L. L reveals his own identity to observe Light's reactions.

L then discloses to Light that he suspects him of being Kira. This forces Light to ally with L to prove his innocence. Soon, Sakura TV airs a video from a person with Kira's powers, telling people to stop bothering Kira by killing the anti-Kira commentators. Soichiro manages to enter Sakura TV's building with an armored car unnoticed and stops the broadcast. Light realizes that the one who made the tapes is an ally and has obtained the shinigami's eyes, enabling them to see anyone's real name and lifespan.
After realizing there is another Kira, L requests Light to join them in stopping the second Kira. Ohba mentioned that he often faced difficulties while selecting chapter names, but for chapters 15 through 23, he had the titles chosen early as he was "on a roll" during that period. The story of Light Yagami, a brilliant young man who discovers the Death Note, continues to unfold with its complex web of characters and thrilling plot twists.

L is truly a giant puppy. His size is quite imposing, yet there is an undeniable charm and playfulness about him.

Every time I see him, my heart melts, and all I want to do is cuddle with him. I imagine the warmth of his fur against my skin, the gentle rhythm of his breathing as I hold him close.

His big, innocent eyes seem to look at me with a mixture of trust and longing. I can almost feel his excitement when he sees me, as if he knows that I am the one who wants to give him all the love and affection he deserves.

Cuddling with L would be like having a big, furry teddy bear to hold onto. It would be a moment of pure joy and relaxation, a chance to forget about all the stress and worries of the world.

I can't wait for the day when I can finally have that cuddle with L and experience the unconditional love that only a giant puppy can give.
