rip to a legend

Also I stan Rem a lot more than I ever did as a teen reading this series. She was too good for Misa. ( )

4.5

Okay so this was going good for 5 starts for a bit, but then something happened that really changed the book and what I was loving with the tension and closeness between the two forces was gone. Then, later on, they tried to bring it back with some other characters, but it didn't have the same feel to it. I was feeling the same distance from the story that the characters had from each other and the book went from making me wonder what would happen to kinda knowing deep down who would come out on top because it was just a bit to clear.

Then the ending. Ouf, I don't know how I feel about it still. I mean, I knew it was going to happen and all but somehow I was still kinds hoping something else would happen which honestly made me really conflicted 'cause of the way they story kinda made the villain out as a hero, and a sorta sympathetic one. But good endings are ones that make you think and that was a high of this book.

Also, the art was quite stunning. I liked that the artist was the same throughout because I've read some comics where the artist change and sometimes they drew a character like a different character from the previous chapter and it got confusing as to who was who.

Lastly, the plot, save for what I mentioned above so like the first 2.5/4ths I'd say, were amazing and very well done. This book had me staying up late reading and reading on the bus and every chance I could get. The character development was amazing too, so much more than I normally expect from this type of medium. I'm always wary of comic books and manga and graphic novels because I've always found that they don't have the same entertainment value or the same emersion factor as full-on novels, but this was not the case here.

I would recommend this to anyone looking to get into manga and if it wasn't for that last stretch I really would have given it 5 stars. I just could feel myself losing interest as it was no longer as exciting as it had been and I was quite a ways through this long boo and really needed something of interest to keep me hooked and while I didn't grow bored, I was not as engaged as I had been nor as I could have been.

Muchas reuniones de la Yotsuba, el personaje de Misa es inaguantable y no creíble, pero al final se vuelve muy emocionante (y un carajal de cuidado porque varios personajes principales tocan el cuaderno. El plan de Light encaja piezas y la historia oscila entre el tedio y la salvación. Espero que mejore en las siguientes. Hemos llegado a la mitad de la historia, tengo los dos siguientes y creo que ya voy a llegar al final sea como sea... ( )

Segunda parte de 12 de este manga que me está gustando. Hay partes, por supuesto, que no me creo incluso dentro de la historia, como la novia del agente dando su nombre tras dos excusitas, pero la historia se hace interesante y se va complicando. ( )

Una idea fantástica, qué pasaría si un "dios" te diera un cuaderno en el que si escribes el nombre de una persona, esa persona morirá (hay más reglas y se van detallando a lo largo del libro, pero ésa es la regla básica). El protagonista del libro es claramente un antihéroe que empieza haciendo lo que parece más apropiado (¿apropiado?), matar a asesinos, pederastas... Pero por supuesto la historia da un giro rápidamente y se mete por uno de los muchos caminos que podía tomar, y de ahí el protagonista tiene que empezar a improvisar.
Me ha parecido muy entretenida. No tengo experiencia con el manga y lo de leer al revés (de derecha a izquierda y las páginas de atrás hacia delante en el libro) me desconcentraba al principio, pero se habitúa uno. En cuanto a la calidad de los dibujos, que muchos alaban, a mí, desde el desconocimiento, me parecen más que suficientes para meternos en la historia.
Me iré a por el 2, desde luego. No sé cuántos hay pero debo saber cómo continúa la historia... ( )
