More plot twists and surprises in this volume. I can see why this series has such an appeal--the characters are all pretty unpredictable and clever, which adds to the enjoyment.

In the second volume of Death Note, we get to see Light Yagami further experiment with the powers and capabilities of the Death Note. Raye Penber, the FBI agent assigned to investigate him, and his fiance, a former-FBI agent herself, become inextricably wrapped up in the Kira mystery. L, an enigmatic recluse pursuing Kira, reveals himself to the task force and begins closing in on Light as a suspect.

Overall Rating: A++
Synopsis: A psychological/supernatural thriller created by writer Tsugumi Ohba and illustrator Takeshi Obata, Death Note follows a high school student, Light Yagami, who discovers the notebook of a shinigami that allows him to kill anyone by writing the victim's name while picturing his or her face. Light's goal is to create and lead a world cleansed of evil using the book, but where is the line between an honorable goal, and mass murder?
The note book has a series of instructions written by the shinigami, Ryuk, who owned the book, and holding the book allows Light to see Ryuk. After confirming that the book works, Light begins a killing spree, wiping out all of the major criminals whose identities are televised. Soon, this attracts the attention of the International Police Organization, and a mysterious detective known only as "L".
Through a stunt that kills a man sentenced to death in prison, L learns that "Kira" (the name the public gives to the mysterious killer of criminals), is located in Japan. L then quickly begins working to determine who Kira is. Light realizes that he must kill L, and it's a race to determine who will survive. ...more

Anyone who likes light psycological horror
What I like about this manga is the battle of wits between Light, a.k.a Kira, and the mysterious and intense L. who is trying to capture him. Personally, I think L. is a bit more interesting than the main character, Light. But that may be because L. is a distinctly unusual individual and, moreover, a mystery. So, I want to know more about him, whereas the books are about Light so he’s ‘on stage’ all the time and about as mysterious as butter. I like to find out what’s behind a character,...more

So far this gets my vote as Best Manga Ever, rivaled only by Spiral Into Horror.
I can definitely see why the kids like it.
