MOVING TOWARDS CONFRONTATION,
By Sesho "www.sesho.libsyn.com" (Pasadena, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Death Note, Vol. 11 (Paperback)
With only one volume remaining, Deathnote is gradually working itself up to what should be a thrilling climax in which one side or the other has to lose. The question is whether it's going to be Near or Light. Both think if they can just get rid of each other, the biggest thorn in their sides will be removed. For Light, it would mean he would be able to rule the world as Kira unopposed and create the perfect society. For Near, it's simply proving that he is smarter than Light. The sheer fact of being able to catch him redhanded with indisputable proof and the satisfaction thereafter is something he's willing to risk his own life for as well as those working with them. It's really become apparent that both guys are playing for the sake of pride, simply to demonstrate who is more clever. The lives of normal people like us are just pawns in this game of oneupmanship. Light continues to see newsanchorwoman Kiyomi Takada, leading his team to believe that he is trying to convert her to their side, but secretly giving her instructions from Kira to give to his disciple Mikami. Meanwhile, Near tries to infiltrate Takada's bodyguard in an effort to find out how she is communicating with Kira. There's still yet another piece in play as Mello is still on the loose somewhere, trying to beat Near AND Kira!
Well, I can't complain about the story going soft in the last volumes of this series. If anything, Deathnote has gotten even better as it heads towards the pearly gates of manga heaven. If nothing else, Tsugumi Ohba has written one of the most suspenseful manga that I have ever read. The pace of the art and the at times convoluted characters twist and turn around each other until you can't put this book down. It was so suspenseful that in hindsight, it would have been better to have sat down after the final volume is published and read the series without having to wait months between each one. That's how good they are. I'm really excited to see how this ends next month.

Eyes on the prize,
This review is from: Death Note, Vol. 11 (Paperback)
In this, the second to last volume of Death Note, all parties in the most intense battle of wills I have ever seen have their sights set on it's finish. As the plot speeds along in this book, all necessary pieces are set in place, unnecessary distractions are moved out of the way, and the stage is set as plans are put into motion. Who will emerge victorious? I have snatched up all volumes of Death Note as soon as I could get my hands on them, and can't wait for July to come and bring me the final volume.
5.0 out of 5 stars
The tale is nearly complete...,

This review is from: Death Note, Vol. 11 (Paperback)
Yet another action-packed installment of the DN series. The book was in book condition as well, despite a little library dirt.
