That was something! I don't know who I should cheer for more.

It was an incredibly exciting situation. There were two or more options or individuals, and I was completely torn.

On one hand, there was one person or thing that had its own set of amazing qualities and had done some really remarkable things.

But on the other hand, the other option also had its own charm and had shown great potential or had achieved something equally impressive.

I found myself constantly going back and forth in my mind, unable to make a clear decision.

Every time I thought I was leaning towards one, something would happen to make me think about the other.

It was a real dilemma, and I was left feeling both excited and a bit frustrated at the same time.

I guess only time will tell who I will eventually end up cheering for the most.

Read this in a single sitting. Because it's impossible to stop anywhere in between.

The brain games have become even more intense! The characters are evolving in a better way and generating more thrill!

The paperback black edition is truly something worth dying for.

However, there's only one gripe - why aren't all the rules introduced in the beginning? Arrrgggh.

P.S.: If you've committed any sin, remove your real picture and real name from all of social media. Kira is watching you!

This story is filled with excitement and mystery. The intense brain games keep you on the edge of your seat, while the evolving characters add depth and intrigue. The paperback black edition, with its sleek design, is a must-have for any fan. But the lack of early rule introduction can be a bit frustrating.

And that P.S. adds an extra layer of mystery and danger. Who is Kira? What will happen if you don't follow the advice? It makes you wonder and keeps you engaged until the very end.

4/5 Stars

In this second installment of the series, Light Yagami's determination to eradicate crime and criminals persists. However, with the American FBI now collaborating with his homeland government, the question arises: how far will he go to safeguard his identity? Is Light's descent into darkness becoming more perilous? Join us as the story takes an even darker and more convoluted turn, with Light and his Shinigami friend delving deeper into the rabbit hole.

I'm truly delighted that I embarked on this series. While it may not be a perfect 5-star read for me, I've been thoroughly enjoying it thus far. I can hardly wait to immerse myself in book 3.

The storyline in this second installment surpasses the first in terms of darkness (if that's even conceivable). This is not a tale for the faint of heart. Nevertheless, I adore this aspect of the series. The story is thrillingly dangerous, compelling me to flip the pages incessantly to discover what lies ahead. There are numerous twists and turns that will satisfy even the most voracious readers. Some of them were slightly predictable, but their execution was so masterful that the predictability hardly detracted from my enjoyment. I also believe that my ability to anticipate some of the plot twists may be attributed to the fact that this series is targeted at a younger adult audience. However, this did not dampen my enthusiasm in the slightest.

As always, the characters play a crucial role in enhancing the plot. I have a genuine affection for all the characters in this book. They are fascinating and distinctive, each reacting to the sequence of events in their own unique way. Light has undergone further development, and I'm beginning to realize just how much of a psychopath he truly is, despite his supposed good intentions. The Shinigami, however, remains my favorite character. He is so nonchalant about everything and simply along for the ride. Moreover, he is incredibly mysterious, and this aspect无疑 keeps me engaged. I yearn to learn more about this enigmatic race.

The art style remains consistent, which is a definite plus, as I have a great appreciation for the style and the way it breathes life into the story. I don't have much more to say about it other than it continues to be excellent and enriches the reader experience.

One final aspect that I'm thoroughly enjoying about this series is that so much is open to individual interpretation. There are numerous political ideas being explored, but there is no clear-cut demarcation between right and wrong. I love the fact that there are so many diverse opinions being expressed. Although I do appreciate the critique that the author is attempting to convey, I'm impressed by how subtly and excitingly it is presented, without being overly forceful.

Overall, I recommend this book to those who enjoyed the first book in the series. While it may be possible to jump into this series without having read the first book, I highly recommend starting from the beginning and allowing yourself to become fully immersed in the captivating storyline.

Light has been given a name by police which is KIRA.

Now, the story revolves entirely around KIRA and (L), the man who assists the police in solving the most complicated cases.

L is a brilliant and mysterious figure, with an uncanny ability to analyze and deduce. His methods are often unorthodox, but they yield results.

KIRA, on the other hand, is a shadowy figure, operating in the darkness and using his power of light to carry out his twisted plans.

The battle between KIRA and L is a battle of wits and wills, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.

As the story unfolds, we see the two adversaries locked in a deadly game of cat and mouse, each one trying to outwit the other.

Who will emerge victorious? Only time will tell.

The writing in this volume is truly crisp, and the pacing remains solid throughout. The strategies employed by the opposing sides, L and Light, are indeed something worth reading about. These two geniuses, never letting down their guard, are engaged in a relentless yet calculated race to defeat each other.

However, perhaps it is to the point where the characterization between L and Light becomes strangely similar. Both think identically and are crazy genius teens who firmly believe that what they are doing is right.

Sadly, this volume also offers readers a crude glimpse into how deeply suicide is ingrained in Japanese society. Despite its intelligent writing, Death Note emits a pessimistic tone in its overall view of people. It makes one wonder about the underlying message and the impact it may have on its audience.

Overall, while the story has its strengths in terms of the intense battle of wits between the two main characters, the less than favorable portrayal of certain aspects cannot be ignored.

Light's plan was truly brilliant.

It was both terrifying and brilliant. The way he strategized and executed his actions was simply mind-boggling.

He used his intelligence and the power of the Death Note to manipulate events and people to his advantage.

His goal of creating a new world order, free from crime and corruption, was ambitious and audacious.

But at the same time, his methods were extreme and immoral.

He was willing to sacrifice countless lives to achieve his vision.

Despite this, I can't help but be drawn to this manga.

The story is so captivating and the characters are so complex and well-developed.

I love the psychological warfare between Light and his opponents, and the constant twists and turns keep me on the edge of my seat.

It's a manga that makes you think and question your own beliefs about justice and morality.

Overall, it's an amazing work of art that I highly recommend to anyone who loves a good thriller.

The plot development in this Manga series has truly astonished me. It is simply phenomenal that such a vast amount of content has been crammed into so few words! Tsugumi Ohba, you have my utmost respect!

This is the second volume of the Death Note series, and it continues to follow the story of Light Yagami, a teenager who now possesses the Death Note - a magical notebook that can be used to kill anyone whose name is written within its pages. He also gains a Shinigami death god as his accomplice, and this arrangement lasts until he either dies or fills the notebook's pages.

The plot progression in this novel gives it an entirely different flavor compared to the first installment. We are introduced to new characters, and the mysterious L from the first volume is finally revealed. We also get a more in-depth look into the minds of Light's enemies, who are the police force, including his own father.

It is a unique perspective to read about a murderer and yet feel completely in tune with his cause. There are no clear-cut binaries here, as the 'bad' guys are the police and our 'good' guy is a serial killer. Both sides have their virtues and vices, which emphasizes the unreliability of our protagonist and makes us question the morality of our anti-villain and whether his cause is truly as just as we initially thought.

Not Ryuk, the shinigami, getting manipulated by Light, a human, over something as trivial as apples. LMAO!


It's truly a comical and almost absurd situation. Here is Ryuk, a powerful and otherworldly being from the realm of death, being swayed by a mere human. Apples, of all things, become the tool through which Light manages to have an influence on Ryuk.


One would think that a shinigami would be immune to such simple bribes. But Ryuk's weakness for apples is exploited by Light, who cleverly uses this to his advantage. It shows that even the most powerful and seemingly invincible beings can have their Achilles' heel. And in this case, it's a love for a particular fruit that leads to Ryuk being manipulated by a human. It's a humorous and unexpected turn of events that adds an interesting layer to the story.

Light is truly a genius!

Its presence has the power to transform everything around us. The way it plays tricks on our eyes, creating beautiful illusions and shadows, is simply magical.

I find myself completely obsessed with light. It has the ability to bring life to the dullest of objects and make them shine with a newfound brilliance.

Whether it's the soft glow of a candle in a dark room or the harsh glare of the midday sun, light always manages to capture my attention and hold it captive.

I love to observe how it changes throughout the day, from the warm hues of dawn to the cool blues of dusk.

Light is not just a physical phenomenon; it's a source of inspiration and wonder. It makes me believe that there is always something beautiful and extraordinary waiting to be discovered.

In conclusion, my obsession with light shows no signs of fading. It continues to fascinate me and inspire me to see the world in a whole new light.

**Death Note Gold, Vol. 2: Confluence (Death Note #2)**

In Tokyo, a brilliant yet disillusioned high school student named Light Yagami discovers the "Death Note", a mysterious black notebook.

It has the power to kill anyone as long as the user knows both the target's name and face. After confirming its functionality and initially being scared of its god-like abilities, Light starts to think about the possibilities.

He decides to create a utopian world without crime by killing numerous high-profile Japanese criminals and later targeting international ones. Five days after finding the notebook, Ryuk, a "Shinigami" and the previous owner of the Death Note, visits Light.

Ryuk, invisible to those who haven't touched the notebook, reveals that he dropped it into the human world out of boredom and is entertained by Light's actions.

Light believes he has ended his problems with the FBI by using the Death Note to kill the agents working on the case in Japan. However, one agent's fiancee, who used to work in the Bureau, uncovers information that could lead to Light's capture.

To make matters worse, L emerges from the shadows to work directly with the task force led by Light's father. With people closing in on him from all directions, will Light be caught in the confluence?

This manga, written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata, was first published in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump from December 2003 to May 2006.

With over 26 million copies sold, it is one of the best-selling manga series in Weekly Shonen Jump.

Reseña completa en el blog: http://capitulo-26.blogspot.com.es/20...


This is a magnificent continuation of the story. As L gathers a small group of investigators, Light continues to think about how to stay ahead of the police. The game is still on. I'm eager to read the third one.


The plot thickens as the two main characters, L and Light, engage in a battle of wits. L's determination to catch the killer is unwavering, while Light's cleverness and resourcefulness keep him one step ahead. The tension builds with each passing chapter, leaving readers on the edge of their seats.


The story is not only about the chase but also delves into the psychological aspects of the characters. We see Light's descent into darkness as he becomes more and more addicted to the power of the Death Note. L, on the other hand, is a complex character with his own set of quirks and flaws.


Overall, this is a thrilling and engaging read that will keep you hooked from start to finish. I highly recommend it to fans of mystery and psychological thrillers.
