I really just read this to understand the BB memes and references to be honest. I appreciated how feral Ryuzaki was in this.

His body language reminded her of Pooh Bear, but Ryuzaki was neither yellow nor adorable, and less a bear inclined to doing nothing than a rather tall man with a pronounced slouch. When he had eaten four handfuls of jam, he proceeded to put his lips directly on the rim of the jar like it was a cup of tea and slurp the contents noisily. Within moments he had consumed the entire jar.
"Sorry for the delay."
"Oh... not at all."

This whole scene made me cry laughing, why are you like this?

A couple comments in the book made me uncomfortable, and I don’t like how misogynistic this franchise seems to get

If you like Death Note you'll enjoy this too. The puzzles were puzzling for sure! Made my head spin a few times but it was enjoyable, fun. Even made me laugh a few times, surprisingly. I really felt drawn to all the characters, even the murderer. And I'm SUPER glad Naomi was the protagonist. Ever since I saw her in the manga I needed more :(

R-slur is used at one point, and there's a weird comparison to a child predator in one scene.
