Death Note, Vol. 4: Love by Takeshi Obata, Tsugumi Ohba
4.0
... yeah, now I remember why black edition vol 2 is one of my least favorite bind-ups. I say that as if I didn't enjoy this volume lol but clearly I enjoyed it quite a bit-- I gave it 4/5. But it's definitely my least favorite volume so far. I thought I might like Misa more now, but... nope. She's still really grating and tbh it's really frustrating that the most prominent woman in the entire series is purposely written to be annoying and get in the way and not be as competent as Light. JUST SAYING.
This is also the point where I feel like the series starts to shift. I really enjoy & have a strong recollection of the early days of cat & mouse between Light & L (essentially if this is a 3 act structure, we've just finished act 1 because we're 1/3 through) and at the end of this volume we kinda enter act 2, which I don't have a strong memory of. So we'll see how much of the upcoming volumes I remember lol because I'm currently drawing a blank.
