I choose to believe you mean this

Light is lucky that the helicopter window isn’t reflecting his extreme smug smile

I think this was one of the easiest chapters to read so far

[bellacarr]

That definitely was one of the easier chapters, it was a nice start!
I’ve been trying to catch up, but technically still about half way through volume 1 (I’ve read/watched with English subs many times so know the story). Hopefully I can stay up to date here and also work my way through the previous volumes.

@fyrember

window isn’t reflecting his extreme smug smile

Light is always lucky with his expression.

Translator's note:

keikaku means plan.

Comments

Rem is everyone reading this part here

“Trust me bro, this is all for Misa’s sake” - He said with a straight face

I don’t get what is supposed to be written on this death note

The most suspicious small talk ever hahaha

Ohhh I forgot that scene was the one, it all makes sense now

@bellacarr Great! I admire your effort, it’s already a bit of a hassle to read 1 chapter of death note per week, I can’t imagine having to read more to catch up haha

[bellacarr]

I’m reading this week’s chapter at the moment and realised there isn’t any vocab for this volume in the google sheets - shall I add some of the vocabulary I look up whilst reading, or would you guys prefer to leave it?

[polv]

Feel free to add. I created a new sheet for each volume, just in case.

[bellacarr]

I’m a little confused at the use of とも on page 30

Pg30

• 二冊とも失えば…
• 所有権はなくとも…

At first I thought it was particle と + も, but now I’m not sure if it’s conditional と?

[polv]

The first one is just 共(とも) = together.

The second one is like と (conditional) + も (even) = even if, continuing from the earlier ～なく.
