Things are getting insane, and I LOVE IT! I have no clue where this story is going to go, and I can't wait to see where it takes me :)

"كيرا شيطان..لاجدال في ذلك..ولكني مؤخرا بدأت أري بوضوح أن الشيطان الحقيقي هو القدرة علي قتل البشر.. الشخص الذي يمتلك تلك القدرة هو ملعونا بها
مهما استخدمها هذا الشخص لا يمكن بقتل البشر تحقيق اي سعادة حقيقية"

لقد حذره ملك الموت 'الشيجامي' المرافق له أن من يرافقه شيجامي هو شخص سيئ الحظ من قبل
وهذا الجزء هو الأكثر في سوء الحظ للايت ياجامي

Manga is so easy and quick to read!
I'm really enjoying reading this series after watching the anime a few times.

Final rating: 3.5/3.75 stars
I think I liked it less than volume 1. I mean, Light and L's rivarly is really pure gold, but this one has some flaws.
First: it's sexist. Yes, even volume 1 was, but in this case we reached whole new levels. In my review of Vol.1 - which contains the first 2 volumes actually - I complained because there wasn't a good female character. Nor an important one. Well, it seems like my wish was answered and destroyed at the same time. Misa is the silliest character ever. All ...more

Ah, what can I say?
Actually, I have quite a bit to say...just not right now but I will say...this is AMAZING. The cat and mouse dichotomy is nail-biting and oh so tense. I love it!

This was dark and tense and I am left craving the third volume! Most definitely better than the first and I can only hope that after this cliffhanger, it gets better.

"I've never once considered finding that notebook and gaining this power a misfortune. In fact, it's made me happier than I've ever been. And I'm going to create a perfect world."Death Note is a rollercoaster ride. Seeing as the foundations for the story's world had already been made in the first volume, in the second volume many complex details and properties of the Death Note and the Shinigami are brought to light (there's a very intentional pun in here :p).

Didn't love it quite as much as the first volume, but still super entertaining. Can't wait for volume 3!

Aunque me ha encantado, hay una cosa que me ha molestado mucho. Algo que os contaré en el próximo Wrap Up.

Oh how I love these books and this story. The logic gets more and more twisted and convoluted but I just think its so funny. These two "boys" (Light and L) making things more and more complicated for no other reason than their own weird logic. Things certainly get moving a lot more in this volume and again the anime has pretty much followed word for word, which I think is great. I look forward to continuing with the series.

The plot thickens! Although the introduction of a new villain is an old trick in the manga world, Misa is so different a villain that we can't help but wonder about her. And her relationship with Rem is bizarrely intimate compared to the bond between Light and Ryuk.
Is it bad that I found Light's manipulation of Misa... kind of cool? I know! I know! It's a horrible thing to do to a girl, but it's so true to his character, that I couldn't help but admire it.

Full review is up on Bookish Love Affair.
Every time I look away, this story takes another twist or turn. I quite liked the whole friendship thing between Light and Ruyzaki, and Misa seems to be kinda stupid but I can't help but love her. I'm glad I have the next bind up coming in the mail, because this one ended in a way I did not see coming at all and I really want to know what happens next.

Just a quick warning to say that this review may contains spoilers for Death Note: Volume 1!
I absolutely loved Death Note Volume 1, so much so that it might even have been my favourite read of 2016 (or at least tied with Six Of Crows). So before I moved on to start another manga series, I thought I would continue with Death Note. However, although I enjoyed this volume I did not like it as much as the first one.

I adored the first Death Note. It was so intriguing and imaginative. This Volume on the other hand, dragged a little bit for my taste. The whole back and forth about being Kira between Light and L was exhausting. It got boring pretty quickly. It also took me out of the story and made me put the book down a lot. I do hope this will stop in the next volume because other than that the story was amazing and I can't wait to see where it will go.
5 stars.
OH MY GOD
Holy crap. This was absolutely amazing. God I'm squealing like a child.
Sorry, excuse my fangirling, but this just had me shook.
It's safe to say that when I started reading this I would never have guessed where the storyline would go. And just like with the last volume I've no idea how there could possibly be four more bind-ups to go through before I reach the conclusion.

The story is as good as in the previous volume, but the sexist portrayal of female characters bothered me a little.

Just when you think the series will hit a snag and stop surprising you, bam, plot twist. And not a lame plot twist but a good one. As we get deeper into the story of Death Note, it's very possible you'll like Light less and Ryuga more. At least that was the case for me, and truly some interesting plot twists on several occasions. In addition, unlike the first volume, I don't feel anyone got disposed of too easily or quickly.

Ahhhhh I loved this! I never expected to like these books that much!
But they are easy and fun and they have twists and greats characters! Like tbh, I kinda love Misa even though she's totally crazy. And just L and Light playing cat and mouse is so much fun to see because they are both geniuses! I'm gonna have to read the next one soon!

4.5 I would have given it 5 stars but I won't beacause I hated Misa's annoying behaviour with Light, stupid and unrealistic.
Otherwise, this was great. Loved the back and forth between L and Kira. I hated Light almost always since the first volume but when Misa was giving all that information through the videos I got a chill through my spine, not wanting them to be uncovered. It was weird.
I absolutely have no idea how it's going to end but it's not gonna be pretty for someone for sure.

Lo bueno:
El arte de Takeshi Obata me encanta. En un género donde es difícil distinguir entre estilos y el diseño de todos los personajes protagónicos se difumina en borrón de clichés, Obata logra plasmar en Death Note una personalidad única a través de su pluma.
Lo malo:
El guión de Tsugumi Ohba es a la vez el escudo y el talón de Aquiles de este manga. En ocasiones brilla con diálogos mordaces y puntos de giro en la trama que se sienten ganados. Por otro lado, los saltos en las deducciones de lo ...more
