Death Note - Volume 7, by Tsugumi Ohba

In the book Death Note - Volume 7, by Tsugumi Ohba, as the capture of the newest Kira draws an end the entire taskforce gets a clear view of a monstrous looking Shinigami, Rem. They finally learn the method of how the killing took place. With no one owning the position of Kira, Light’s plan fall perfectly in place and he gains all of his memories. We take a deeper look at what exactly happened before Light decided to turn himself in out of the blue. The malicious Light returns once again with his outrageous plan to create his new world. This time a jaw dropping event takes place making a bold statement that Light Yagami has truly surpassed the best of mankind and even Shinigamis.

This volume of the book is overall mostly a return of Death Note’s psychologically brilliant actions. I am amazed at how Light sewed up his flawless plan which we get to see in the flashback. Aside from all the terrific things that went on in this volume, I am drowned in depression after the heartbreaking tragedy that occurs in this depressing book. Words are not enough to describe the great deal of emotions and tears I shed after finishing the reading. With a tremendous amount of trauma and shock I had to pause my reading of Death Note and really take a moment to ease my sorrow.
