İlk yarıdaki karşılaşma ve burada yaşananlar takip edilmesi biraz güç olsa da, sonradan gerçekleşenler gerçekten süperdi. Hiç beklemediğim bazı olaylar yaşandı ve bundan sonrası nasıl olacak merak ediyorum. 4.'ye başladım bile.

Still really good, though I disagree with L when he says Kira is not looking to create a dictatorship... Um Light is going to be king of his new utopia so...
Very interested to see what Misa and her shigunami bring to the story! I wish we had a little more of Ryuk in this one as well, but overall a very dark psychological story- Right up my alley!

Качамакът, образно казано, продължи да се бърка с всичка сила, докато течеше интелектуалната схватка между двата гениални ума. А за разкош на финала на тази част втора Тетрадка на смъртта излезе на сцената. Найс, а!

I haven’t binged a manga like this since FMA.

Really loving the development, and even though I know what’s coming because I’ve watched the manga, it’s still keeping me hooked. Sometimes Light is just way too cocky though, but it’s definitely part of his personality.

Dva sportska trenutka koja su promenila tok pop kulture:
1. Bejzbol meč u prvom delu “Sumrak” sage.
2. Teniski meč između Kire i L-a.

L and Light have a really fun dynamic in this one. They're both trying to discover the other's identity without revealing too much about themselves.

*I actually read Volume 3 in the Black Editions, but you can't count the volumes separately there so here we are.

"They say humans haunted by Shinigami have nothing but misfortune.” — Tsugumi Ohba, Death Note, Vol. 3: Hard Run

One of the best cat-and-mouse games I've ever seen in literature, tbh. Light and L are absolutely brilliant. The tension was high, and the reading experience is addictive! I sat down and finished this in about 1 1/2 hours. Also, the introduction of a second Kira was fucking insane. I am super excited to see what Misa's going to bring to the series.

However, I feel like outside of the main tension, the characters fell flat. I feel like the characters didn't progress. Light's losing it a little bit more, but everyone just felt stagnant. Also, there are still scenes of casual sexism, which serves no purpose. So why is it there?

Volume 2 is still my favorite, but I am so excited for Volume 4!!

I’m on BookTube now! =)

There’s something to be said about series that are able to surprise you and “Death Note” is definitely one of them. After volume two I thought it would be really hard to top the cat-and-mouse game Light and L were already playing but boy, was I wrong! Volume 3 really lifted it to an entirely different level and I have no idea how those two characters aren’t freaking out. XD I mean if I’d be in their shoes I really wouldn’t be able to stand the pressure. Light and L though?! They just shrug it off and plan their next chess move. *lol*

Which brings me to the brilliant brain Tsugumi Ohba must have. I mean to think in those kinds of dimensions and to let your characters always be a step ahead of the other. Wow!! It takes quite a mind to think things through like that. So yes, Tsugumi Ohba has all my respect for creating two characters like L and Light and for being able to effortlessly keep this kind of arc of suspense. It’s really amazing and I can’t wait to see what else the author has in store for us.

As for the storyline: Things are heating up considerably and the tension was running high! There were chapters in which I gripped my volume and just continued to read without taking a single breath. The thing that had me really intrigued is that they are both playing with open cards even though they don’t play with open cards. If you know what I mean?! *lol* It boggles the mind!
I wonder what Light’s father is going to think once he finds out that his son is Kira. And I’m sure in one of those 13 volumes he will. It’s just a matter of time...
Also the ending! It’s interesting that there is a copycat now. And it’s a girl! Very curious how this is going to play out and if Light and her will hook up?! Haha! I can’t imagine it because she gives off the kind of childish vibes Light spoke about when he drew the profile for Kira. So yeah... I guess we’ll just have to find out. ;-)  And I can’t wait to see what is going to happen next! I’m sure this copycat Kira will mix up things a little... or well, actually A LOT! *lol*

Volume 4! I’m ready! =)

It's a Misfortune Volume..
"They say humans haunted by Shinigami have nothing but misfortune.”
— Ryuk


Okay, So you think all it'll be just 'The Hunter and Haunted"?
Well, think again..

The surveillance between L & Light, Light & L is taken to whole higher level.. and it sure drive Light insane..But he's smart, he'll recover...

BUT...again, Think AGAIN..
“Kira is evil ... There's no denying that ... But lately I've been starting to think of it more like this ... The real evil is the power to kill people”
n

The Moral I thought about since the beginning is told here by Soichiro 'Light's Father' in a very misfortune circumstances..

But I am still Team Light, there's too much Misfortune deeds happen to innocent people BY Those who MUST JUST DISAPPEAR.
But did you thought just by doing that, you kill someone yourself... you take a soul...you're Death...you're cursed, Misfortune...

Well, in this volume you can see how Misfortune Light , he almost get insane really with facing "L" face to face and dealing with him...

BUT by the end of this volume. the course of the story will take a strange level.... Kira start acting crazy and clumsy...he sends videos to the Media....sending message to the Japaneses and the NPA...and L.

It's crazy move truly , could Light be that Misfortune to do that? or he has a Bigger plan?

******************
It's really smart volume , that should have titled "Misfortune"
A huge plot twists come unexpectedly chapter after chapter , the curse is here...and Light still can't see it.
New character appears I believe will make the next volume even more exciting.
And Now ,let's see the chapter by chapter rate;

Trash (5 Stars)

How Light get his killing with all the cameras around his room? if he didn't do any ,it will be even more suspension.. A smart chapter.

Gaze (4 Stars)

Well, no more cameras.. It was almost getting normal again..BUT The Gaze in the ending is a real 5 stars Twist.

The next chapters are just like a great Ping-Ping game.....
Humiliation (5 Stars)

The Messers and the Messies.... Light in Collage, and his colleague is .... "L"

First Move (5 Stars)

Still a Ping-Pong.... and it's getting smarter..

Duplicity (5 Stars)

Light & L will try to work together!!! but it's not the twist...the twist is how to write an end to this thrilling chapter...

Misfortune (4 Stars)

Here Light's father will deliver his line of Misfortune, But Will Light accept that?

Hard Run (4 Stars)

I almost hated it....I'm team Light BUT This chapter he's just went so far....
funny he's not here to explain..

Shield (4 Stars)

Still , had Light gone insane? totally insane? it's "L" chance now to get closer to him.

Fool (5 Stars)
Oh my God......We've been fools to believe all of it..
It's really big twist..

I just love how smart the authors are..it's a really great thrilling read.
