About the author

Tsugumi Ohba

349 books2,892 followers
Tsugumi Ōba (Profile in Japanese: 大場 つぐみ), born in Tokyo, Japan, is a writer best known for the manga Death Note. His/her real identity is a closely guarded secret. As stated by the profile placed at the beginning of each Death Note manga, Ōba collects teacups and develops manga plots while holding his knees on a chair, similar to a habit of L, one of the main characters of the series.

There is speculation that Tsugumi Ōba is a pen name and that he is really Hiroshi Gamō. Pointing out that in Bakuman the main character's uncle was a one-hit wonder manga artist who worked on a gag super hero manga, very similar to Gamō and Tottemo! Luckyman in all aspects. Also that the storyboards drawn by Ōba greatly resemble Tottemo! Luckyman in style.

Finally L appeared in scene, he's so cute 😘 While Light dealing with mr.penber until mr.penber die by death Note even dealing with mr.penber fiance in the end. L & light - are the same level but the difference is their high IQ level. Can't wait they're meet each other😂😂.

Ugh, I hate this kid! Love the story but hate this kid and hope he dies. The idea of Light being so willing to kill all criminals and then to kill anyone out to find him. He doesn't want to make the world a better place, arrogant little prick. Grrr. Okay, on to the next one. These are fast reads.

6/10 I liked this one as much as the first one maybe a little bit better. I honestly don’t have much else to say about it. I enjoyed it but don’t love it. Don’t really have anything else to say.
