Review of 'Death Note, Volume 2' on 'LibraryThing'

3 stars

Still impressive, although Ryuk isn't as much up in the spot in this one. It appears that Tsugumi has left the non-traditional way of writing a detective story in the second volume of the 12-volume set of the Death Note canon, and instead focuses on Light's way towards L, and vice versa. It would no doubt look good on paper, but Takeshi is such a great artist, and the illustrations do the story a world of good. I'm already deep into volume 3.
