Re-read
It's truly astonishing that upon my second read, which took place after a considerable time gap, I found myself liking it even more.

Here's a tip for all readers: Never allow distractions to creep in or leave a significant gap between reading two volumes of Death Note. You might end up forgetting everything, which would then lead to a re-read of all the volumes.

Light, once again, is single-handedly engaged in a battle against multiple foes - Near, Mello, the SPK, and the Japanese Task force. It's quite remarkable how strategies constantly flow through his mind, and he manages to deceive almost everyone!

However, as I mentioned in my last review, the Japanese Task force should have been able to identify Light if they were even half as intelligent as him.

This volume once again emphasizes the aspect where the evil within Light has manifested in a new form, as he doesn't hesitate for a moment when it comes to sacrificing his own father!

This volume serves more as an appetizer for the upcoming intense battle between Kira and the child prodigies - Mello & Near!

-------
Death Note simply wouldn't be Death Note if it didn't end on a cliffhanger!

Kira just utilized the power of people to shield himself from Near's suspicion while simultaneously attempting to subdue him.

This volume was somewhat dull compared to its predecessors. It mainly showcased Mello's power and capabilities, all the while keeping Kira in the spotlight.

Unfortunately, this volume witnessed the end of Detective Yagami. One flaw I noticed in this volume is the way the Japanese task force has been blindly trusting Light, despite his lack of emotions after the detective's death.

It's becoming a bit confusing now with the book changing hands and the ever-increasing number of rules, both fake and real. We're going to have to hold on tight!

Ok, I must admit that I did have a certain liking for the book.

The overall plot is indeed quite engaging and has managed to capture my attention from the very beginning.

The various elements and twists within the story have kept me hooked, eager to find out what would happen next.

However, as I progress further into the book, I can't help but feel that the story is starting to drag a bit.

Some of the scenes seem to be drawn out unnecessarily, which is causing a slight dip in my level of excitement.

Despite this, I still have high hopes for the remainder of the book and am looking forward to seeing how the author will bring everything to a satisfying conclusion.

I'm sure that there are still many surprises and revelations in store that will make up for this temporary lull in the story.

Overall, while the book has its flaws, it still has the potential to be a great read.

I miss L so much.

Every day, countless thoughts of L flood my mind. I remember the times we spent together, the smiles, the laughter, and the deep conversations.

When I'm alone, I often find myself reminiscing about those precious moments. L's presence brought so much joy and warmth to my life.

I wonder what L is doing at this very moment. Is L happy? Is L thinking of me too?

The distance between us sometimes feels insurmountable, but my heart remains connected to L.

I hope that one day, we will be able to reunite and create more beautiful memories together.

Until then, I will continue to hold onto the memories and cherish the love I have for L.

This game is almost my favourite so far.

It has a unique charm that keeps pulling me in.

On one hand, it can be extremely frustrating. The challenges are tough, and there are times when I feel like giving up.

But on the other hand, it's also addicting. The more I play, the more I want to improve and overcome those difficulties.

Every time I make a small progress, it gives me a sense of achievement.

I find myself constantly coming back to it, eager to see what new levels and challenges await.

It's a game that truly tests my skills and determination, and I love it for that.

Even though it can be frustrating at times, the addictiveness always wins me over.

I can't wait to see what the future holds for this amazing game.

Good book love the series again. It's truly a remarkable experience to engage with a series of good books. Each volume seems to draw you deeper into a captivating world, filled with rich characters and enthralling storylines. The first book might have piqued your interest, but as you progress through the series, you find yourself more and more invested. You become attached to the characters, sharing in their joys and sorrows. The authors' skillful writing keeps you on the edge of your seat, eager to turn the next page. With each new installment, the story unfolds in unexpected ways, leaving you amazed and hungry for more. Good book series have the power to transport you to different realms, allowing you to escape from reality for a while. They are a source of entertainment, inspiration, and knowledge. Once you fall in love with a good book series, it becomes a part of your life, and you can't wait to see how the story concludes.

Addiction is real and it has caught up with me during exam season. Typical.

I want to nitpick a bit about the saga because I feel that it is starting to decline. Things are still happening, but in my opinion, it has lost the essence of the first volumes... Characters that don't grip me, Kira being wishy-washy... And an implicit machismo that is making me a bit nervous. Well...

It seems that as the story progresses, it has deviated from what made it originally captivating. The new characters lack the charm and depth of the earlier ones. Kira, who was once a strong and interesting character, now appears to be lacking in determination and focus. The presence of an underlying machismo is also a concern as it can be off-putting and may limit the story's potential for a more inclusive and diverse narrative. Despite these issues, I still have some hope that the saga can regain its former glory and recapture the hearts of its readers.

Light, you can't have it all.

It is an interesting turn of events. One of the major incidents was somewhat predictable, but the execution was good nonetheless.

Despite the predictability, the way it was presented and developed added an element of excitement and engagement.

The story seems to be evolving in an interesting direction, and there are still many unanswered questions and potential plot twists that keep the reader on the edge of their seat.

Looking forward to the next installment, I am eager to see how the story will continue to unfold and what new surprises and revelations it will bring.

Will the main character be able to overcome the challenges and obstacles that come their way? Or will they succumb to the forces that are working against them?

Only time will tell, but for now, I am hooked and can't wait to find out what happens next.

TW/CW: murder, death, threat

Death Note has taught me a valuable lesson - never to engage in a professional collaboration with my father due to potential conflicts of interest. Particularly when we are handling a notebook related to murder. EEP! His emotional outburst following the death of his "loved one" appeared extremely FAKE. And that's because it indeed was. I couldn't sense even the tiniest shred of grief in Light. IT'S TERRIFYING. He has completely transformed into Kira. From now on, it will be challenging to refer to him as "Light" anymore.

I can truly feel the palpable tension in this volume. My anxiety levels are skyrocketing. I also have a great admiration for Near's intelligence. He is undoubtedly a worthy heir. I'm eagerly looking forward to reading the next volume as we will encounter a future minion of Kira. It seems that the situation is only going to deteriorate from here. I wonder how many times one can get away with lies and murder? (Spoiler: 12 volumes

Great! We now have three Ls lol. It's quite an interesting situation.

This dude just wants to write in a notebook. You know, it seems like such a simple thing at first glance. But who would've thought it would be THIS complicated hahahaha.

Maybe there are some hidden rules or expectations that he wasn't aware of. Or perhaps the notebook itself has some special features or requirements.

Either way, it's turned into a bit of a humorous and unexpected adventure for him. It just goes to show that sometimes the simplest tasks can have their own twists and turns.

We can only imagine what else might happen as he continues his attempt to write in that notebook. Maybe he'll discover some new and interesting things along the way.

One thing's for sure, it's definitely going to be a memorable experience for him. And for us, it's a funny little story to share and enjoy.

"Bitches" by Mindless Self Indulgence is a rather controversial song.

It has a unique style that combines elements of punk, electronica, and other genres. The lyrics are often considered bold and edgy, challenging traditional norms and expectations.

The song's title itself, "Bitches," is a term that can be seen as offensive or derogatory by some. However, within the context of the song, it may be used in a more subversive or satirical way.

Mello, who is associated with the song, has his own artistic vision and expression.

Smh, which stands for "shaking my head," might be an expression of someone's reaction to the song or the overall concept.

Overall, "Bitches" by Mindless Self Indulgence is a song that elicits strong reactions and discussions, both for its musical style and its lyrical content.

It challenges listeners to think about and question their own perspectives on various topics, making it a thought-provoking piece of music.

1.5 ☆

I don't like it. :(

Nor do I like the way Kira is acting.

Kira's actions seem rather strange and unappealing to me. Maybe it's the way she speaks or the things she does, but there's just something about her behavior that rubs me the wrong way.

It could be that she is trying too hard to be something she's not, or perhaps she is simply not aware of how her actions are coming across to others.

Whatever the reason, I find myself constantly feeling disappointed and frustrated with her.

I hope that she will soon realize the error of her ways and start acting in a more likable and acceptable manner.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that I will continue to have a negative opinion of her.

I have to admit that I preferred the plot with Ryuzaki to a much greater extent. For some reason, I just can't seem to get myself to enjoy this series anymore. It's quite strange because initially, I was really into it. But as the story progressed, something changed. Maybe it was the way the characters developed or the direction the plot took. I'm not entirely sure.

Ryuzaki's presence added a certain charm and mystery to the series. His unique personality and investigative skills made him a captivating character. Whenever he was on screen, I found myself completely engaged. However, without him, the series just doesn't have the same appeal for me.

I keep hoping that there will be something in the future episodes that will reignite my interest. But so far, nothing has really grabbed my attention. I guess only time will tell if I'll be able to regain my love for this series or if it's just something that I have to let go of.
