I have to say that the introduction of Misa greatly enhanced my enjoyment of this series. The conclusion of this volume was a bit unexpected for me especially since Light gave himself up as a potential suspect for Kira, but I'm sure that he has something up his sleeve and I'm looking forward to discovering what that is in the next book!

Even though I'm not a gung-ho feminist, Raito is a total fucking asshole when it comes to how he treats women >=| I ignored his indifference toward his mother at the start, but in this volume he was blatantly rude to Misa Amane and Takada, and god knows who else.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't display the same disrespect toward other male characters, and is instead only rude and arrogant towards women. *stabs*
Misa is pretty pathetic though, I will admit. She acts like a 14 year old hysterical fangirl, and throwing herself at Raito's feet is just tragic.

It's kind of annoying that the shinigami keep on leaving out crucial facts until it's relevant - i.e saying that you can forfeit your Death Note and the only negative repercussion lies in losing your memory of the Note and the shinigami =/ Is there still nothingness after death for a former death note user?

There were a few hilarious moments in the volume though, like L's shock and horror at being called a pervert XD

I <3 this manga

Really enjoying the series. I'm still surprised by what Light decides to do. Like when he decides to say he thinks he's Kira and then gets locked up at the end. I'm curious what will happen next so I'll probably get the next few books.

I liked Misa and was hoping to see a bit more of her. I hope she's in the next book but I doubt it.

Overall, I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the other Death Note books.
