"They say humans haunted by Shinigami have nothing but misfortune.”
— Ryuk, A Shinigami

This Manga series' plot development has been far beyond my expectations. I'm still amazed at how much information has been crammed into such a small amount of space.

Whether I agreed with them or not, I liked most of the characters. Light is a fantastic lead character. L is an excellent counterpoint for Light, symbolising morality and purity in contrast to Light's immorality and cruelty. L is also the only character who understands Light, whilst most of the other characters are useless and easily manipulated by him.

Let me say that I admire his quirkiness. Instead of sitting, he squats on the chairs. He chews on his thumb. Everything is amusing.

The mind games were just exquisite and very intense. I'm rest assured now.

Really love where the story is going and how even more layers have been added to the suspense. Looking forward to seeing what will happen next!

Well that was confusing and amazing and challenging and suspenseful and a lot to take in

Well...that just happened. I wasn't expecting that at all.

WOW WHAT A VOLUME!

This one had so many great reveals and moments like Light and L finally meeting or how he tries to evade and their rankings in college and the episode with his father but when a new Kira emerges how will they solve the case of those tapes and it sends the whole series in for a loop. I love the psychological explorations here and detective work and the camraderie between the two and well L and Light present great protagonist-antagonist view and it ssuch a refreshing change of pace and also the twist in the end is lovely! <3

Die Gedankengänge von L und Light, während sie beide die selbe Situation und ihre Wirkung auf den jeweils anderen durchanalysieren *-*

Ahh this was so good and a quick and easy read. I can't believe how complex the characters but then again I can and I must say they are amazing and the ending oh boy!!! I need the next volume in my hands now.

O meu até agora.. Isto está a ficar mesmo interessante

An epic volume. My heart skipped faster every time I watched those episodes. L is a genius intellectual.
Misa Misa is here.

4.5 stars - Spoilers

-Liked this more than Volume 2. It was more engrossing and the battle of wits between L and Light was immensely entertaining.

-I didn't expect L to reveal himself to Light, it was a cool twist. I loved seeing them both trying to stay one step ahead of each other.

-The twist at the end was great. I was wondering how Kira/Light was killing off people without knowing their names - I really didn't see the second Kira thing coming at all.

-I'm glad the second Kira was a girl but I'm annoyed at how dumb she seems. I also hated that the driving force behind her actions was just so she could impress Kira.

-I'm not impressed that all the female characters have either been silly and submissive or have only acted a certain way because of a male character. I don't think it's asking much to have one well rounded female character whose world doesn't revolve around a guy.

-Looking forward to volume 4.

This is the volume where is starts to pick up the pace! L and Light have met, and suspicion for Light is growing. I'm excited for the next one as Misa is coming in, and she used to be my fave. So we will have to see if she still is!!!
