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

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.

Light is always lucky with his expression.

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

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?

1 Like

The first one is just (とも) = 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
