Summary of the volume

Don’t mess with the 死神

It would be nice if there are more participants and discussions, but I can’t really hope much. Maybe some more in the future after the club finished?

Anyway, probably 1 week break and Vol.9 starts on 2023-07-22 (Sat).

Chapter comments

I didn’t remember シドウ at all, it’s funny that he has a seemingly important role in the story so far

My god, I swear Light gets more psychopathic the more the story goes on, but I guess it makes sense. Also his face is so funny here in contrast to misa

Yeah it would be nice, it seems it’s only us two that are keeping up now. It is a really hard manga though, so I understand why most people dropped it along the way, I don’t think I would still be reading if I wasn’t doing extensive reading on it and mostly just skimming through the walls of text if I can understand the gist of them lol. One week break is fine by me!
