konvineo's review against another edition
4.0
This was one of the first anime I stumpled upon, way to start in the genre if I say so myself.
So this volume, I'd forgotten how truly inhinged Light is. It takes him all of five days to go from "this might be fake" and "This is bad and would make me a horrible person/murderer" to "I WAS BORN TO DO THIS! I AM GOD". Then it takes him maybe one or two days to go from "just criminals" to just killing who he thinks is L, because L pissed him off and hurt his ego. It's kind of funny, but also scary. Then of course there's the fact that he's also the king of eugenics. It's one thing to kill criminals (not the greatest, especially not when power is given to one person), but then he starts in on the whole "rotten people" and people who he doesn't think deserve to live. So that's really something.

Das Hörspiel und die gleichnamige Anime Serie sind echt gut und haben mich in den letzten Tagen bei meinen täglichen Mal Sessions gut unterhalten, auch ist der Manga mega gut und ich kann euch alles davon nur empfehlen

Ahhh I love the little story at the start that precedes Raito's story and the reign of Kira. It's amazing how easy it is to be sucked in by this story and how I'm empathising with Raito even though what he's doing is repulsive. He's so arrogant and is essentially a murderer, but you can't help but understand his desire to make the world a better place.
