Death Note, Vol. 2 (Death Note, #2)

by Tsugumi Ohba

Takeshi Obata (Illustrator)

When Light Yagami finds a notebook giving him power over death, will he use it for good—or evil?

Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects--and he's bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. But when criminals begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer. With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of his noble goal...or his life?

Light thinks he's put an end to his troubles with the FBI--by using the Death Note to kill off the FBI agents working the case in Japan! But one of the agents has a fiancée who used to work in the Bureau, and now she's uncovered information that could lead to Light's capture. To make matters worse, L has emerged from the shadows to work directly with the task force headed by Light's father. With people pursuing him from every direction, will Light get caught in the conflux?

Segunda parte de 12 de este manga que me está gustando. Hay partes, por supuesto, que no me creo incluso dentro de la historia, como (show spoiler)[la novia del agente dando su nombre tras dos excusitas] (hide spoiler) , pero la historia se hace interesante y se va complicando.

I didn't realize the manga went through so much of the story so quickly. For some reason, the show seemed like it took longer for some of these events to happen. I'm actually quite happy I've forgotten so much, it's really made this a lot more enjoyable and less like I'm just re-reading something I've seen twice.
