If Sidoh doesn't make another appearance, I'm going to riot. He is such a precious little Shinigami.

Sidoh has this unique charm that makes him stand out among all the other characters. His appearance is distinct, with his spiky hair and those big, round eyes that seem to hold a world of mystery.

Every time he appears on screen, he brings a sense of excitement and anticipation. His actions and mannerisms are both endearing and captivating.

Whether he is interacting with the other characters or simply going about his Shinigami duties, Sidoh always manages to steal the show. I can't imagine the story without him.

If the creators decide not to include him in future installments, it would be a huge disappointment. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Sidoh will make a glorious return and continue to charm us all with his presence.

I truly find myself in a state of confusion regarding this volume.

It took me a rather long time to make my way through it. The reason being that I picked it up only sporadically and never read a large portion of it in one go. As a result, it feels extremely dragged out, even though there are quite a number of events that occur within the course of the book.

I still have an issue with the fact that Light, also known as Kira, isn't performing at his best. He seems more reactive rather than actively formulating plans, which is something I really missed from the first few novels. Back then, it always appeared as if he was ahead or at least on par with L. Now, everything he plans and believes will succeed essentially fails.

I still miss L, but I'm not entirely against Near/N. However, I have no liking for Mello at all. The lack of strong female characters still bothers me a great deal, but I attempt to overlook this fact so as not to get too fixated on it.

I will definitely complete this series, but at this stage, I find myself compelled to continue simply because I渴望 to know the end. However, everything is progressing at such a slow pace. I'm very uncertain whether this book deserves the 4 stars that I would like to award it based on enjoyment, considering these points of criticism. And that is precisely why I decided to rate it 3.49 stars.

Damn, this near guy is really good.

His skills and abilities seem to be outstanding in every aspect.

Whether it's in the field of work or in daily life, he always manages to shine and attract everyone's attention.

His intelligence, charm, and determination are truly remarkable.

It's no wonder that people around him look up to him and admire his achievements.

However, sometimes his excellence can also make others feel a bit of pressure.

But that doesn't stop him from continuously striving for better and achieving more.

Overall, this near guy is definitely someone to be reckoned with, and it will be interesting to see what he accomplishes in the future.

Mello has obtained a death note, and the Shinigami to which the death note belonged is eager to get it back. Meanwhile, Light is striving to bring the situation under control in order to continue building his new world of greatness.

The battle has resumed between Kira and the new “L”, and I am truly excited about it. I remain astonished at how much all the “L’s” are able to discover from practically nothing. However, that is precisely what they do for a living.

I can't believe there are only three volumes left until I learn the finale! Onward to the next one!

Happy reading!♥️

It's turning out like that cryptic maze. You entered it with so much enthusiasm.

At first, it was really fun for a while. You explored the twists and turns, excited to see what was around each corner. But as time passed, things started to change.

Now, you find yourself feeling frustrated, completely lost in that maze. You keep walking, but there seems to be no end in sight. The once exciting adventure has turned into a confusing and tiresome experience.

You wonder if you'll ever be able to find your way out and return to the starting point. The maze seems to have a mind of its own, playing tricks on you and leading you astray.

But despite the frustration, you don't give up. You keep going, determined to solve the mystery of the maze and find your way to freedom.

Brilliant.

This volume is truly better than the previous one. The manga stands out for being more dense and intelligent compared to the anime.

One aspect that really bothered me in the anime is that Light doesn't come across as nearly as smart when pitted against his nemesis, Ryuzaki.

His cleverness seems to have some distinct lacking. In the anime, it feels as if the full extent of Light's intelligence isn't fully realized or展现.

Whereas in the manga, the story is able to delve deeper into the complex minds of both Light and Ryuzaki, making for a more engaging and intellectually stimulating experience.

The manga's density allows for a more detailed exploration of the characters' motives and strategies, adding an extra layer of depth that the anime sometimes fails to capture.

Overall, the manga version of this story is a far superior portrayal, especially when it comes to highlighting the intellectual battle between Light and Ryuzaki.

Without L, life seems to lose a certain charm and significance.

The real L is like a guiding star in the vast universe, shining brightly and leading us forward.





It's just not the same when L is absent. The colors of the world fade, and the sounds become dull.





We long for the presence of L, for it brings excitement, passion, and a sense of fulfillment. It enriches our experiences and makes our lives truly worth living. Whether it's a person, a place, an idea, or a feeling, L has the power to transform our world and make it a more beautiful and meaningful place.

I have read another volume of "Death Note", this time from chapters 71 to 79.
After a direct confrontation between the gangster Mello and Soichiro Yagami, the chief of the Japanese police, something will change forever in the lives of our protagonists...
Meanwhile, Near continues his investigations in an attempt to catch the serial killer Kira. Taking advantage of Mogi and Aizawa's suspicions about Light Yagami, N decides to focus on the new L as the main suspect.
As the governments of various countries decide not to interfere anymore in Kira's decisions, the world is divided between those who are afraid of being punished by the serial killer who can kill them just by writing their names in a death notebook and those who see him as a great vigilante, being a God of this new utopian society.
After a medium volume like the eighth one, the ninth one came and surprised me positively. Ohba still hasn't been able to reproduce 100% the dynamic that Light and the old L had with what he has with Mello and Near, but he is able to rescue issues that are an intrinsic part of the plot, which is the role that society plays in this story - the people, the followers of Kira, the media and the so-called vigilantes are crucial for Light to achieve his goal through genocide (life imitates art?). Besides philosophizing about society, the author also shows, again, how Light is a cold, calculating and terrible guy, remembering, in the middle of chaos and polarization, that the great villain has always been Yagami.
The illustrations by Obata continue to impress me, bringing fluidity to the plot mainly in moments of tension and action. More than that, it's amazing how he puts everything that Near is thinking and reflecting in the boy's toys - which, at the same time, reminds us of the age of the little genius, also serves to mirror what is happening in the story and how he is translating his deductions in his interactions with his action figures.
The siege is closing in and Light's confidence in having so many followers may be his downfall soon... And I can hardly wait!

4/5 Stars (%75/100)


After reading the previous volumes, this latest installment of the book came as a welcome change. It was like a breath of fresh air in the stagnant literary landscape. Although there were still aspects that I wasn't overly fond of, at least it had the ability to pique my curiosity. The tactics employed by Near and Mello were masterfully crafted, adding an extra layer of excitement to the story. However, it seemed rather odd that Light, the once-genius protagonist, was starting to come across as less intelligent for some inexplicable reason. I was quite disappointed by the death of a particular character as I believed they were written with great depth and nuance. Apart from that, certain parts of the narrative felt rushed, as if the author was in a hurry to move the story along, while others dragged on too slowly, causing my attention to wane. Nevertheless, the middle sections were truly outstanding, filled with tension and unexpected twists. The ending, on the other hand, was a bit peculiar, leaving me with a sense of anticipation for what lies ahead in the next volume.

I almost forgot who Kira was during this one.

It's quite strange how memories can fade so quickly. One moment, Kira was a prominent figure in my mind, and the next, she seemed to have slipped away.

Maybe it was the chaos and excitement of the situation that caused this temporary lapse. Or perhaps there were other distractions that pulled my attention away.

Whatever the reason, it was a bit of a humorous realization when I suddenly thought, "Wait, who is Kira again?"

But as soon as the thought crossed my mind, memories of Kira started to flood back. Her smile, her mannerisms, and the times we spent together all came rushing in.

It was like a lightbulb went off in my head, and I remembered everything clearly.

I guess it just goes to show how our minds can play tricks on us sometimes, but also how easily those memories can be reignited.

In Death Note 9, Light finds himself in a desperate struggle to avoid being caught.

L's workers are closing in on him, and he can no longer outwit them as easily as he once did.

Near and Mello are causing further disruption by breaking up the task force and attempting to expose Light.

This manga belongs to multiple genres, including scifi, horror, superhero, crime mystery, political, and contemporary life.

The art style of the book is black and white, with thin lines and minimal shading, which gives it a distinct look.

The setting of the story is unique, as are the story and the characters.

The plot stands out from other stories, making it a captivating read.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a great story with a unique plot and well-developed characters.

The book continues the story in a seamless manner, keeping readers on the edge of their seats.

Overall, Death Note 9 is a must-read for fans of the manga genre and those who appreciate a good mystery.

3.5 stars

This review theme is solely dedicated to mangas:

Likes: I had a great affection for all of these books, with a particular fondness for the last one. The action and adventure elements in this book truly captivated me. It was filled with thrilling moments that kept me on the edge of my seat, eager to turn the page and discover what would happen next.

Dislikes: However, once again, this book proved to be rather confusing. As I previously mentioned in the overall section, I simply have the impression that this book is highly forgettable. There were aspects of the story that didn't quite stick in my mind, and I found myself having to constantly refer back to previous pages to understand the plot.

What mood should you read this book in?: It is best enjoyed in an emotional and adventurous mood. The story has the ability to evoke strong emotions within the reader, whether it be excitement, anticipation, or even sadness.

Pace: The pace of the book is fast, which adds to the overall excitement and keeps the story flowing smoothly.

Likable Characters?: Without a doubt, Light is my true love. His character is complex and multi-faceted, and I found myself rooting for him throughout the entire story.

Overall, I feel that this volume, along with volumes 7 and 10, were all jumbled together, and I couldn't really distinguish the differences between them. This lack of clarity made it difficult for me to fully appreciate and understand the individual storylines within each volume.
