Death Note volume 11, by Tsugumi Ohba

In the book, Death Note volume 11, by Tsugumi Ohba, Light has a lot more on his plate now handling Near and Mello, giving Mikami orders, managing both Takada and Misa along with the taskforce members. Now that Light revealed himself as Kira to Takada he must tell her about why and how he is doing all the killings. Misa becomes less and less important to Light and her presence starts to fade away. On the other hand Mikami is putting all his will and strength insanely to bring justice to as many criminals as he can. Near can wait no longer and declares to Light that they should meet face to face very soon.

Hooray! I am so excited but mostly glad that Near has decided to end his little investigations on Light, which made absolutely no progress whatsoever, and finally make plans to end the battle face to face. I like how Near says that he just doesn’t want to prove Light as Kira to arrest him as a crook, but he wants to make it vividly clear that who is more superior and right all along. Of course good old bold Light accepts this challenges to destroy Near and clear his path to build his new world.
