LOVE the art! I’m obsessed with L’s character design. And I love how it’s being hinted that L and Light are more similar than we might think.
But I thought the ending was kind of anticlimactic. Light’s house gets bugged — but no worries, because he already knows his house has been bugged, and he’s working around it. That’s just how cunning and observant 17 year old Light is. He’ll solve any conflict with his charm and wit, long before said conflict can make the story interesting. Yawn.
I also don’t like how easily Light takes out the FBI agent’s fiancé. She seriously gives her personal info to some kid, thinking it might get her a job on the surveillance team? She really gives up on trying to speak to Light’s dad after visiting the place ONE time? It was so stupid, especially for a character who’s supposedly so cautious. And it’s yet another instance where the conflict is neutralized just before things can get interesting, all for the sake of elevating Light and his apparent genius-level intelligence.
Still, I’m really having fun with this story! Can’t wait to read more.

I like this volume a bit more than the first one, since L and Light's relationship is the best part of this series.
Also, I know that a lot of people find Misa anoying and an idiot, but to me she is just a mentaly ill young woman that has nothing to lose.
