Death Note: Black Edition, Vol. 4 by Tsugumi Ohba

3.0

I wavered on a 2 star for this edition of Death Note but the first volume (7) of the book saves it. A clever (as always) plot leading up to some shock events although the death of a certain someone is flat footed and could have been so much more than it was. Even the shock factor of it wasn’t as it could have been. Volume 8 was convoluted and just a bit crap to be honest. Two new characters who look like woman and I think should have been, but in typical anime fashion, they’re men and the one main female character is further reduced to being a shell of a human, willing to trade everything for a man (who’s become yet more of a dick). Have the next two editions to read but hoping they pick up a bit from that last volume.
