Death Note, Vol. 8: Target

Death Note [デスノート]

by Tsugumi Ohba, Takeshi Obata (Illustrator), Tetsuichiro Miyaki (Translator)

Light - working as Kira, the newest member of the NPA intelligence bureau, and L - has nearly succeeded in creating his ideal world. But the years of uncontested victory have made him complacent, and he is unprepared for a new attack close to home. With his younger sister Sayu kidnapped and the NPA's Death Note demanded as ransom, Light must travel across the world and confront two new adversaries, each with a very different agenda. Will Light's quick wits be a match for this new challenge, or will he be forced to choose between Kira's ambitions and his own family's lives?

About the author

Tsugumi Ōba (大場つぐみ), born in Tokyo, Japan, is a writer best known for the manga Death Note. His/her real identity is a closely guarded secret. As stated by the profile placed at the beginning of each Death Note manga, Ōba collects teacups and develops manga plots while holding his knees on a chair, similar to a habit of L, one of the main characters of the series.

There is speculation that Tsugumi Ōba is a pen name and that he is really Hiroshi Gamō. Pointing out that in Bakuman the main character's uncle was a one-hit wonder manga artist who worked on a gag super hero manga, very similar to Gamō and Tottemo! Luckyman in all aspects. Also that the storyboards drawn by Ōba greatly resemble Tottemo! Luckyman in style.

Ano, díly s Mellem a jeho čokoládou jsou prostě nejlepší. Jen tak dál, blonďáku!

[Věra Škodová]

Postrádá to tu hravost, co zprostředkovával L. Jako by i s ním umřela veškerá Lightova lidskost. Což je fakt a na psychiku by to jiný vliv mít ani nemohlo, navíc tolik let pryč... Přesto je hrozná škoda, že to muselo dojít až takhle daleko.

Už mě to baví míň, ale Mello je super.

[sberatelka.knih]

Je to pořád to samé dokola, už to přestává být napínavé. Light mě štve a Misa je děsně naivní a pitomá! 😫🥱

[Freckles]

Nemůžu se rozhodnout, jestli je na tomhle lepší Rjúk (Půjdu se mrknout na památky...) nebo Misa (Rjúku, koukej zůstat a pomáhat s úklidem!), Mella a jeho ďábelské výrazy při konzumaci čokolády nebo Light, který je čím dál tím víc, ehm... dark :D
Stejně musím obdivovat, jak je to dokonale promyšlené!
