as we knew, kira uses the death note in the name of "world peace" which in the end also kills innocent people who are against him.

well, what happens if the death note falls back into the world, and the owner uses this book for many purposes. for example, granting the wishes of elderly people who don't want to live, auctioning off death notes as "effective" war weapons to various countries, or to prosecute the bullies? 
 
whatever their purpose in using the death note, there are always consequences for their actions.

⚠️ "no matter how it is used, a human who uses the death note will end tragically." - chapter 2

apart from providing suspense, this comic also presents a short story about wataru, L, and the humorous side of the characters in 4-panel comic. 

worth it to read if you're in reading slump!
