Death Note Short Stories by Takeshi Obata, Tsugumi Ohba

luana_reads's review

3.0

The only short stories worth reading are the first two: c-kira and a-kira

The rest is either inconsequential or trash.

Death Note Short Stories is good for fans who want to peek back into the world, without committing to re-reading or rewatching the original manga/anime series. I had already read Chapter 2: a-Kira as a one shot before reading this collection, so I skimmed past it!
Chapter 1: C-Kira and Chapter 6: Taro Kagami are the longest stories (around 50 pages each) and give us a look into what happens to the Death Note next. It’s always great to be back with Ryuk aswell
