Complexity, thy name is Death Note, volume 10. In this one, things go even more haywire for Light as Near and Mello join forces somewhat. Multinational doings and really, really deep thinking on who’s who turns this volume cerebral, together with near-all bowing down to Kira. Also, what’s happening with Kira?

Unnecessary addition: I must say I really like Mello’s new-found glam.

Wow…

I picked up this manga, because I had read a review, where that person had said, that once he had read the first volume, he had to go out and buy all the other ones.

Well, once I had read the first volume, I had to go out and buy all the other ones…

This is a very unusual, fascinating and suspenseful story.

I don’t think I’ve ever read a book where I was rooting for the mass murderer to win over the others… It must have been hard to write such an intelligent character.

And beyond the book, this really got me thinking a lot about the morals involved. What would I do with such an opportunity ? How long could I resist the temptation ? The answer leaves me uncomfortable…
