Yet again, another stellar installment of the Death Note series! 
 This third volume felt more action-packed than its predecessors. The good/bad binaries became even more muddied and the the art work turned darker in tone to accommodate it. It felt like this volume marked a shift in the series, where from here on out we have entered more into the world of the psychological thriller. Again, there were many levels to this and many genres were converged on, but it primarily had a crime-based theme. This was enhanced by the increasing focus on the police detectives and the mysterious L, who are attempting to solve the case of the homicidal maniac murdering both convicted criminals and the police members attempting to trap him. This insight into the two conflicting sides of the case make this compelling reading! 
 In true Death Note style, this has ended on a cliffhanger that is making it impossible for me to stop now! I am a true convert into the Manga world.
