Death Note, Vol. 4: Love by Takeshi Obata, Tsugumi Ohba

4.0

Things are getting hairier and hairier. Misa, as suspected, is kind of dumb and risks giving away the game numerous times. She's put out of commission (via amnesia) before the end of this volume; might have been nice to keep things going in that regard for a bit longer, but it didn't happen. She seems waaaay too dumb for Light, so I am curious to see how/whether their relationship will go anywhere (considering the fact that he was planning just to use her for her powers).

In each volume L. gets closer to the truth, but Light always manages to worm his way out of things. By the end of this volume, he worms his way out by surrendering voluntarily (copping to a possible Jekyll and Hyde situation). And he's ready to "go nuclear" by discarding the death note and succumbing to amnesia - but somehow I don't think that will actually happen.

Re: the Death Note Rules: these are getting a bit tedious to remember. I really hope they don't continue introducing new ones throughout the WHOLE series.
