I had already seen the anime series before my sister persuaded me to also read the series. And I have to say I'm not disappointed. It's good to see the anime follows the manga in so many ways. Now it's just renewing the whole story, and I liked reading it.

I'm not really experienced reading manga (from right to left) but I didn't find it a problem at all. It felt a bit strange during the first pages of the first manga, but now it almost feel natural.

I liked the second manga as well, and am planning on reading the rest of the books during summer vacation.

I didn't like this volume as much as the first one. In fact, I didn't like it much in general. Since I liked the last one, I'm going to read two more to see if the series improves at least a bit. I want to know how it ends, but I didn't even like the ones who are supposed to be the good guys in this volume.


Longer review soon.

Desde el comienzo sabemos que Kira es muy inteligente, pero es apenas en este tomo que nos damos cuenta de lo que es capaz de lograr con esa inteligencia. Brillante y terrorífico por partes iguales, sobretodo en la escena con Naomi.

Ratio is very smart in his killings and eveb finding those cameras. Those traps in his room are pretty cool as well. I'm starting to think that L won't really figure out that Ratio is Kira.

He saw her silhouette and knew it was Anashi; there was no mistaking her physique. No one else in the village had her unique shapely curves; her height was shared with a smattering few, but the contours or the graceful way she glided was distinctive to Anashi and no one else.It's my first giveaway win, sure, but it has a 'pull' anyway. Drumming on youtubeThis is going on to Hayes in Italy next. I will jot down thoughts as I read and edit later:Okay here we go... There is a guide/author's note entitled How To Read This Book, which I chose to ignore in case of spoilers (not to mention feeling pretty well patronised. To my mind it was as if I had been given a paint by numbers plan of action to accompany a Picasso) and I dived straight into the beginning which is highly noticeable by it's absence, or rather, it's barest existence.So back I flipped to this authors note:What you will not find in this book ...There is no protagonist. There is focus on different characters at different stages of this book. There is a beginning, or the semblance of it.[...:]---Later - found this an abstract read but not without it's good side or points of interest. For me though, I would have preferred a less mystic/pomo writing style *shrugs* as there is an exceptional story hiding in there somewhere.
