About the author

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.

In the words of a very wise person, 'Deathnote is literally my life blood'
(It's very true though, I'm sorry for making fun of you)
Anyway, I live for Light and L interacting and I can't wait to find out what happens next

[Paul Young · Rating 4 out of 5]

Could see some of the plot coming, but, IMO, it's still exciting and engaging. Looking forward to volume 4.

I like the conflict. It is a murder mystery and the plot really gets going in this book. One of my favorites of the series.
