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?
Feel free to add. I created a new sheet for each volume, just in case.
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?
The first one is just 共 = together.
The second one is like と (conditional) + も (even) = even if, continuing from the earlier ~なく.
Chapter and story comments
It’s curious how Misa’s reaction to recovering her memories was so much different from Light’s. Does this maybe show the difference in personalities that acquiring the death note caused in each one of them? Maybe Misa being the least affected. Could also be that her memories of the death note are mostly positive, spending them with Light, as she says on the next panel.
Maybe Light’s scream was the no-deathnote personality reacting to what the deathnote Light did, in its last moments of consciousness. Or maybe I’m just looking too deep into this hahaha
Ahh yes, handwritten with no furigana, my favourite
Ok this might be my favourite panel
Ok this might be my favourite L pose
I love this phrase from Ryuk “She’s all hugs”
Pretty fun chapter, and easy to read (maybe due to all the misa monologue) I’m glad Ryuk is back, I missed his antics and eerie moments
My mind just refused on that handwritten page XD
The English version in case anyone else needs it:
Yeah, I missed the duo with Light
Story comments: Poor Watari, didn’t stand a chance
Future story spoilers: I know it’s coming soon, but I don’t know if my heart can handle it a second time, look how they massacred my boy
I knew it was coming, but it still hurts
It’s hard not to hate him right now hahaha
I assume 1-week pause before Vol.8, then 1 week per chapter (starting Sat 13 May). Any different thoughts?
Engrish?: FIFRUNEN BUREAU OF INVESTIOATRONU hahaha I didn’t even look at it. Don’t even know what the bottom is supposed to be
I’m good for 1 week pause and I can’t do more than 1 chapter per week so also good there hahaha (it’s already straining enough)
Letter 61 comments

It’s funny how メロ’s faces here would be a normal anime reaction anywhere else but feels so out of place in death note
This sequence reminded me of this youtube video
