Short stories can be read without reading the main story first, nor does it need to be read sequentially. The pace might also be different, as there are more pages per story.
Where to get the book : See DEATH NOTE短編集 | L27??

4 May
Other dates (please comment)

25 pages per week / 2 weeks per chapter / about 7-9 weeks total

Slower (please comment)
Something else (please comment)

I forgot to post this last week lol but here it is:
So I ended up reading the whole aキラ story, so I will put my thoughts on the whole thing here
I was liking the story up until the end basically, on which I am a bit conflicted. I feel like Ryuk was a bit more evil here, I think that him going “Yeah, he told me not to talk to him, so guess he dies” is kinda weird. I think him not getting the money due to the new rule would’ve been enough. Even Trump got the benefit of the doubt lol, idk. I did like the plan itself, although it is a bit hard to believe that they would just go so far and pay without any proof but a floating paper and matsuda, but oh well

This week probably can be separated into 2-3 weeks, but maybe a little late to change now?
L stories are quite short, though. Better be 1 week for 4-koma, 1 for L x2.
@fyrember What do you think of separating into 2 weeks or perhaps 3?

Im good with doing the 4koma this week and L stories next week, dont mind either way
4koma comments: 4komants
The mom being curious as well was pretty funny here、and of course L of all people turns nail biting into an art
In an universe where Light didn’t get the death note they are friends, and now he actually is interested in girls hahaha
excited ryuk is so cursed
Alternative happy ending
This was pretty funny, kinda like watching a youtube poop or something, it’s weird to see the characters in these situations, but its great

Actually I have finished L stories, so it’s also ok to start 鏡太郎 next week. Just no rush, whatever.
Slow weeks might be a good idea, and stories are separated.
