How do I not have this in my read shelf? This book changed. my. life. :D

It's been way too long since I've read this series. Like, every time I open one of my copies and see a picture of Mello, I piss my pants.

Yeah, it's been that long.

Scary, scary SOB. Dx

Tsugumi has set up a very interesting premise. The fact that Light is a stellar student renders his mission to end all evil in the world all the more complex and conflicting. Whether it is moral to kill those who "deserve to die", and why when the state kills someone it's not considered "murder", are thought provoking questions I am excited to see him unpack with the premise he has crafted.
