this book was great! it gets more in-depth of L's struggles and personality, presenting him as more than a detective but a person. the portrayal of characters and the dialouge seem not only in-character, but canon-typical to the original manga's writing style. the translation is a bit, for a lack of better words, odd, with L being replaced with Us every now and then for whatever reason. the emotional parts did not fail to make me tear up, even as someone who doesn't react much to any material consumed. overall, its amazing writing still shines through despite translation problems and i'd recommend it to any death note fan who has went through the entire series.
