In the last volume of Death Note, we saw Light get super paranoid because he discovered that his room was full of cameras! Ryuk’s not happy either, because he can’t eat apples anymore. Damn that L!!!
Story:
In this volume, Light has to convince the peeping L that he’s not Kira. Since the house is full of surveillance cameras, Light has to figure out how to kill people using the Death Note, and avoid looking suspicious. When he accomplishes that, the cameras go and Ryuk is free to eat apples again!
But what the heck!? Some sleep-deprived dude comes up to Light at the school opening ceremony and tells him that he is L! Some Prince of Tennis action later, they become good “friends.” Unfortunately, L still thinks that Light is Kira.
The volume ends with a new character being introduced. It’s Misa-Misa! She also happens to have in her possession a Death Note of her own. Double the Death Notes, double the fun! Will Light have to kill her, or will he use her, then kill her?
Analysis:
Volume 3 continues with an even stronger story than the previous two. We get to learn more about L and how his thought process works. I really love how L and Light are both pitted against each other in a crazy battle of wits. For the most part, all of the actual logic makes sense, and I didn’t really see any holes in either of their reasoning.
This volume also makes me like L better than Light now. Before, Light was pretty cool, but now L is awesome in my book. I might even go as far to say that I’m gar for L. He’s totally gonna get diabetes though, which is not cool. On the flip side, Light is still a jerk. Like he even told his heart attack dad that he’d catch Kira no matter what. Even though he’s Kira! USO DA!!!
Conclusion:
Death Note Volume 3 is yet another awesome addition to the story. It really keeps getting better and better. Hopefully the introduction of Misa won’t make Death Note jump the shark.
Many thanks to Viz Media for sending me a review copy of Death Note Volume 3!
L is cool. Light is a dick who becomes corrupt, killing not only criminals but people in his way like Raye Penbar and his fiance.
But L is HOTT
(And I’m a girl)
nooooooooooooooo! i totally disagree!!! Light must win, i can say as an officail addict and fan of both the anime (episode 22) and manga that as kl as Ryuzaki (L) is he doesnt beat Light *GO LIGHT!* (punches air) misa-misa is amaizing too but light has to beat them all. if you are not following the anime you so shud! we are currently on episode 22, in the UK it comes out every wednesday or thursday depending on how fast it is fan-subbed. if you are not reading/watching this series yet you are SERIOUSLY MISSING OUT!!! ^_^
Interesting to see this in English. Currently going through the Japanese version manga and watching it on TV.
