 WHICH ONE IS KIRA?Jul 26, 2006
By Sesho
"www.sesho.libsyn.com"
Somebody in the Yotsuba corporation is killing off the company's business rivals and L, Light, and the few remaining detectives have figured out that someone in Yotsuba is Kira. The problem is figuring out who it is. If they try to move in on the group of seven suspects, then Kira might go into hiding or pass on his power to someone else. No, L MUST know how Kira kills before he is arrested. Misa is sent undercover with a coverstory that she was once suspected of being the second Kira and that she wants to meet Kira because he killed the murderer of her parents and wants to thank him. Something unexpected happens when Rem, Misa's ex-Shinigami touches her with a piece of Death Note, making her visible to Misa and reveals the truth about Light and herself as the first two Kiras and the identity of the new Kira! Now Misa will have to use all her acting skills to not upset Light's plans or reveal her newfound knowledge to L AND keep herself from getting killed at the same time!
Death Note is really starting to get good now. You'll pretty much find yourself sitting down and reading the whole book in one take and wanting more. One of the most interesting aspects of this volume and the previous one is to see Light playing the good guy, and perhaps he IS a good guy. I mean, would the killing of vicious criminals really be a bad thing? Everybody would probably have a different answer to that one, based on their own life experiences. Death Note is also great because over these six volumes you really get to know the characters because there isn't a ton of action. Most of it is characterization and mental chess playing, which is a welcome break from most Hollywood-type entertainment in this day and age. Death Note is a good read.

 Kira, the ThirdJun 26, 2006
By Antonio D. Paolucci
"Collector of Entertainment"
Quick note, if you haven't read the previous five volumes then don't read this review, as it will spoil those volumes for you. However, if you have, then this is an entirely spoiler free review for you and by all means, read on...
The tension and suspense of Death Note only continues to deepen with this volume. Light, L, Misa, and Light's father are all working toward the same goal, and that is to catch what is seemingly a third Kira. At the center of all of this is the Totsuba group, a committee of seven men who meet regularly to discuss who must die next in order to further the Yotsuba Corporation's power in the commercial and financial world. Yet what isn't clear is who within this group is actually Kira, and Light and L must go about solving this mystery. All the while, Light, without his memories of being the previous Kira, must battle the suspicions of L, who still believes that Light is the main source of the original killings, and Light must do this while being perpetually hand-cuffed to the shoeless mastermind L.
I felt that the previous volume slowed down a bit toward the end, and the same is true for the beginning of this volume. But soon into it the action picks up as the mysteries are unraveled surrounding the Yotsuba group. By the end, you'll be hungry for even one more chapter of Death Note, as it leaves you with one massive cliff-hanger. This is yet another great addition to the Death Note series and I highly recommend it to anyone who is enjoying the series to this point.

g reviewAug 12, 2006
By Jon
this is a very good continuation of the deathnote series containing plenty of suspense and mystery. it sets up the next book prefectly with yet another clif hanger ending that the series uses so well. i would definately recomend this book to anyone that has followed the series; if you are thinking about jumping into the sereies i would suggest starting at the first book because it would be a real spoiler to read it out of order.
Amazing Conclusion to Outstanding Series!Jan 01, 2012
By Nicola Manning
Reason for Reading: Next and last in the series.
Amazing! Absolutely amazing! A fantastic ending to the best manga series I have read to date. Volume 11 was intense with the death of two more major characters, one I saw coming, the other totally threw me for a loop. Everything builds up for the final showdown in Volume 12, which does not disappoint. I'm not going to say anything about what happens, but reading the entire series is well worth the journey to the final volume. A stunning, satisfying ending.
This whole series has been a complete joy to read. Each book is intense and it has been 5 stars all the way for me. The duel of wits and logic between Kira and L is pure pleasure for any pundit of crime deduction. Mr. Holmes would have been kept on his toes by these two and Sir Conan Doyle would have appreciated the paranormal aspect of the story as well! This series would make a good start for someone's first manga, especially if they are a crime fan, or if they are not too heavily into fantasy. However, if you already are a manga fan then this is an absolute must read series.
One of the Most Exciting Installments!Nov 06, 2008
By Lynn Ellingwood
"The ESOL Teacher"
This is a great installment in the Death Note series. So far Death Note is my favorite. I think it is very exciting and clever. In this book, Light has passed his memory of the Death Note to someone else. Rem, the Shigami shows herself to Misa and explains some things she has forgotten. Misa discovers who the third Kira is and helps Light try to capture him. I was absorbed in this edition from start to finish. Really enjoyed it.
