L still suspects Light and figures that this is the perfect excuse to get closer to his quarry. Light agrees to the plan in order to have free access to the task force resources.

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.

両親はアメリカに帰ってようやく読む時間てに入れた。

一か月前にこの本を始まった、その時にあまり興味なかった。今日に読み終わりにようやく興味上がった。なぜLが好き思い出した。彼がミサの携帯を奪った時はちょう面白かった。ライトの顔は最高だった。Lはライトの期待を全然上回った。だからこそシリーズの終わりは納得できません。Lは明らかにライトより賢いと経験ある。なぜ負けるの？！？！
