Death Note, Vol. 5: Whiteout

Death Note [デスノート]

by Tsugumi Ohba, Takeshi Obata (Illustrator), Alexis Kirsch (Translator)

After a week locked up with no one but Ryuk for company, Light is ready to give up his Death Note and all memories of it. Freed from his past actions, Light is convinced he's innocent. But L is ready to keep Light under lock and key forever, especially since the killings stopped once Light was incarcerated. Then a new wave of Kira crimes hits Japan. Someone else has gotten their hands on a Death Note, and these new deaths aren't focused on making the world a better place, they're focused on making money. Big business can be murder, and Kira has gone corporate!

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.

Reviews

3.5. ⭐️
Nije mi toliko loše, ali mi jeste najmanje omiljeni deo u odnosu na ostale. Druga polovina mi se manje dopala od početka. Nekako mi nije legao prenos priče na korporaciju.
Čitam nastavke 👌
Zanima me u kom pravcu će dalje ići priča.

[Katarina Markovic]

Za razliku od prethodnih delova, ovaj mi je delovao najsporije, ali mi je kraj bio fantastičan. Misa-Misa kao lik mi se ne dopada, ali nadam se da će se barem nešto promeniti.

Raito: *uhvati vazduh*
L: OVO je očigledna činjenica da je Raito zapravo Kira i ne postoji jedna osoba na svetu niti bilo šta što bi moglo da me ubedi u suprotno, hvala lepo i ako možete kafu sa dve kašičice šećera da mi napravite da se malo odmorim i popijem je dok razmišljam o tome kako sam samo toliko pametan bio bih vam još zahvalniji, prijatan vam dan.

Ovaj deo je malo naporan. Potpuno se okreće priča i to mi nije nešto, ali videćemo dalje.
