Anyway, still very entertaining and I cannot wait for what's more to come. Niragi and Last Boss basically jumped out of the manga onto the screen, crazy that they found actors who could embody them that well.
I found the Side story quite interesting, however, I was confused by the game since I felt like the rules were not really revealed. I like the idea of the Four of Hearts, however, I would like it a bit reworked (mainly the revelation of the rules) but the mind game whether you trust the other or not was just phenomenal. Thought I really thought that Chishiya was participating and not Arisu, I was surprised by that turn. ...more
Wow, I keep enjoying this so much! I have to say that I probably enjoyed the action part and Chishiya's plan a bit more in the adaptation but still soWow, I keep enjoying this so much! I have to say that I probably enjoyed the action part and Chishiya's plan a bit more in the adaptation but still so much fun. I have to say that I was blown away by the fact that the adaptation Niragi looks like he jumped out of the manga pages. The actor did so well! And the thing is when you google the actor, Dori Sakurada, you would never believe that's him! I really like that more characters are given space to have more development, really hope to see more of An! ...more
Wow, I'm speechless. I knew what was gonna happen and I'm still speechless. I loved how we got more background for the characters mixed with the heartWow, I'm speechless. I knew what was gonna happen and I'm still speechless. I loved how we got more background for the characters mixed with the heartbreak of the game. I have to say that I really like what the manga did with Shibuki, it made her character surprisingly likeable.
This game is really intriguing, I wonder if there was a way how to crack it or there was no other way.
So far I have to say that I'm quite surprised how close the adaptation followed the manga, mostly there are only subtle changes. And if there are bigger ones (view spoiler)[the first game (hide spoiler)] it totally makes sense because it would be hard to bring it to the screen or it would not translate very well. Cannot wait to read the rest of the manga. ...more
Wow, this was so good! And I thought that I liked Chishiya in the adaptation but I feel like I might like him here even more. Best character ever. AnyWow, this was so good! And I thought that I liked Chishiya in the adaptation but I feel like I might like him here even more. Best character ever. Anyway, I have to say that this was full of action but at the same time it managed to provide a pretty good background story for several characters. I would say very well done....more
Why is there so much pressure with the first book of the year to be good? Why does it feel like it sets the tone for the rest of the year?
Anyway, befoWhy is there so much pressure with the first book of the year to be good? Why does it feel like it sets the tone for the rest of the year?
Anyway, before Christmas, I was blown away by the Alice in Borderland adaptation. I knew that I had to read the manga as well.
And I have to say that I loved this one as well. It is similar enough that I can see the characters I know from the series. But at the same time, there are differences between the two, so, I was really curious to see what will happen.
However, I have to say that I felt like without the knowledge of the adaptation I could potentially find the first chapters somewhat confusing.
But the best part so far is Karube whom I like way more than in the adaptation. Here he is just the best.
Anyway, I can totally recommend both, the manga and the adaptation as well. I cannot wait to read the rest....more
I cannot say much about this one becI cannot believe that this is it...
I'll miss my apple-eating Shinigami.

I cannot believe that this is it.
I cannot say much about this one because the first twenty pages killed me.
This series gave me so many great characters to love. I had to love Kira even though he is the villain and mass murderer. I love Misa (not only because she's my namesake) but because she was who she was. She was the girl who loved a boy who did not love her back and only used her. She lived blissful life thinking he loved her back. And she was a ball of energy which was hard to control! I loved Mello because he was neither the good guy nor a bad guy. He only wanted to be better than Near, and in the end, he was because he became the last key to succeeding. I loved Matt who was hardly there and yet I had to love him and wish there was more of him. I still hope that Matt and Mello would get their own series.
I knew this would happen and Ryuk said it right away that he would do it.
And yet here I have to say something about one theory. (view spoiler)[What if Near used the Death Note. What if when he got the real one, he wrote down that Mikami would come and do what he did and not suspect that his Death Note is fake and then commit suicide. It is very possible. Or maybe I just don't want Near to win this easily. I can agree that Light might have missed this possibility and he was supposed to lose. But still... This is not how it ends in my mind. (hide spoiler)]
And I have to wonder how different it would be if Ryuk was more like Rem or if Rem was alive?...more
Mello and Matt are the highlights of this series! I need more of them... They need their own series! They are my favourite team. And I fear to say thaMello and Matt are the highlights of this series! I need more of them... They need their own series! They are my favourite team. And I fear to say that if it came to Mello/Matt vs Kira, I would be supporting Mello and Matt!
Loved Misa in this one, she's hilarious and I loved Mello's reaction to her, so much fun.
However, I have to say that I miss the old days where Light could freely communicate with Ryuk. Now, we have Ryuk on the page but he's just there, standing and watching. The apple loving creature needs more space! And I want Mello to meet Ryuk!
And hopefully, I don't even need to mention that I don't like Near. The monkey child is rather boring and honestly, he does not seem to have any ideas of his own. L thought that something was true so Near follows it. ...more
Ehm, I really really want Mello to point his gun at me. And I know that that's not a healthy obsession.
If it were Mello vs Kira for the win, I would Ehm, I really really want Mello to point his gun at me. And I know that that's not a healthy obsession.
If it were Mello vs Kira for the win, I would be supporting Mello! And can I just say that his new look is awesome? The scar is the bomb!
I don't like Near, he is boring very childlike, and he reminds me of a monkey. I sort of expect him to scratch his head with his toes — not a fan. ...more
And here my problems begin. I still like Kira but... Did you see Mello? How can you not be obsessed with him? I'm obsessed with him and his chocolate! And here my problems begin. I still like Kira but... Did you see Mello? How can you not be obsessed with him? I'm obsessed with him and his chocolate!
And I think that if Mello was the one against Kira from the beginning, I would be supporting him. But now? Can I get both?
And, yeah, sure Near. I don't know; he always reminded me of a little monkey. Cute and everything but other than that? Nope....more
Okay, I'm going to be honest here. (I have no idea why I said that I'm always honest in my reviews!)
The Yotsuba arc is becoming a bit tedious. HoweverOkay, I'm going to be honest here. (I have no idea why I said that I'm always honest in my reviews!)
The Yotsuba arc is becoming a bit tedious. However, it is absolutely fabulous to watch Light's plan to unfold. (view spoiler)[I love it that his plan works out even though he does not remember the plan! Honestly, I cannot remember what I need to shop for! And he makes a plan, months ahead, forgets it and then it still works out! Mad respect. (hide spoiler)]
Also, I really like Wedy and Aiber, I always thought that they would deserve their own story....more
So, this is how it will be? A Death Note every day? But that way it will only last me till the end of this week!
Fabulous as always but I have to say So, this is how it will be? A Death Note every day? But that way it will only last me till the end of this week!
Fabulous as always but I have to say (view spoiler)[without Light knowing that he is Kira it's a bit not as good? But I love how Light is still careful not to say something to L even if he does not know that he is Kira. (hide spoiler)]
I love Light and L mind games, so much fun. But I miss Ryuk too much. 😔...more

This is probably one of the funniest books in the series. I had a sheet mask while reading this, and I kept smiling, so it was not sitting right around my mouth! 😂
I really like Misa (not only because she is my namesake) but because she's childish, impulsive and a bit unpredictable. I love it that Light is suddenly forced to make his plans around this ball of energy that is only bound to explode! It is so much fun. I almost feel sorry for him. Almost. Not really. 😂
And Light versus L, so much fun to watch their back and forth! And I love it when you think that one of them made a fabulous move only to be overplayed by the other one.
You know what? It does not matter what you read, what genre or if it's a manga. The only important thing is if you like the story.

And I can tell you that I like Death Note very much to the point where I can say it makes me feel physically good. I feel myself smiling and relaxing; I'm excited to turn the page.
I need more of this in my life.
And what else can I say? I'm so happy that Misa is finally on the scene. I love her chaoticness and childish glee. And do I need to mention that she is my namesake?...more
Okay, this is so amazing! I literally freaked out because I cannot take it how amazing it is. And this is my second time reading it!)

Team Kira all the way and I feel no shame at all! And I want Ryuk! I would give him all of our apples! Btw, can I say that detective Raye Penber deserved what he got? I seriously disliked the way he talked to his fiancée, Naomi....more
