Death Note Vol 3, by Tsugumi Ohba

Light is cornered by the 64 hidden cameras and microphones which L has ordered to implant in his room. Light decides to step up his game as he puts his malicious plan to be always a step ahead of L. While L puts his life on the line as he takes one of the biggest risk in his life. Things heat up as more and more people are stirred up in the Kira case. It’s nearly impossible for the people involved to solve this troublesome case and now it’s seems that there is no way out and their old lives will never be given back to them. A harbinger of more problems appears as an anonymous second Kira appears out of the blue with threatening messages.

One of my favorite events occurs in Death Note Vol 3, by Tsugumi Ohba, while the dramatic tennis match takes place. I absolutely loved the psychological thinking went on only during a simply minor tennis match. It signified and symbolized so many things that really make one cogitate deeply. It is a sign of a gloomy foreshadow nearing. Once again the art is just extraordinary making each moment of the story more believable and realistic flowing perfectly with the atmosphere of the story. What I didn’t quite like is the idea of pulling out a second Kira. I feel like now the author is trying to fit in as much conflict as possible to keep the reader’s attention.
