 Outstanding Series! Jan 01, 2009
This is just an amazing series. It exciting, clever and endlessly interesting. If your attention lags slightly in one chapter, your interest will undoubtedly pick up in another. It's wonderful! This is the second to last in the series and Near and Light are coming head to head! Light thinks he will win, but can Near outsmart him? Remember the first Light failed. Kira could soon rule the world!

All the anime Novels I buy are gifts, however all the death note books where available here which made it really easy to find them.
It's Amazing!Jan 31, 2008
If you've never read any of the Death Note books, I highly recommend them. They're so amazing!
 Setup.Aug 10, 2007
Tsugumi Ohba, Death Note: Kindred Spirit (ViZ, 2002)
Things are coming to a head now, as Near and Light both plan for the big showdown. That's pretty much all there is to this volume, as the two of them align their pieces on this particular chessboard for the final battle. It's not the best setup volume in the series, and it's the first book in the series that I didn't finish in one sitting, but it's necessary, and it's not that bad. *** ½

MOVING TOWARDS CONFRONTATIONJun 14, 2007
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.
