Death Note, Vol. 2
When Light Yagami finds a notebook giving him power over death, will he use it for good—or evil?
Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects--and he's bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. But when criminals begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer. With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of his noble goal...or his life?
Light thinks he's put an end to his troubles with the FBI--by using the Death Note to kill off the FBI agents working the case in Japan! But one of the agents has a fiancée who used to work in the Bureau, and now she's uncovered information that could lead to Light's capture. To make matters worse, L has emerged from the shadows to work directly with the task force headed by Light's father. With people pursuing him from every direction, will Light get caught in the conflux?

Tsugumi Ohba is absolutely masterful in writing the rivalry between the mysterious detective, L and the holder of the DeathNote, Light Yagami. As I made my way through this volume, I was thinking to myself, surely this whole volume won't be about Light evading the police the entire time - that'll get old real quick.
WRONG!
It was so good! I was entranced at the battle of wits between these two extremely intelligent characters - honestly friends, I can't tell you right now who I am hoping is the eventual victor of this epic back and forth. Light is clearly losing sight of his original goal, using the DeathNote to do good, because he evolves from killing criminals to wiping out FBI agents and anyone else he thinks is getting too close.
L has thus far been unable to catch Light...but will the fiance of one of the murdered FBI agents be able to put the puzzle pieces together???
Again, I find myself shaking my head in awe of how much mystery and intrigue the author puts into this volume. Each chapter reveals a little more information about the DeathNote via Ryuk, but I don't think Light is listening. I can't help but feel that Ryuk is a spider, slowly wrapping Light up in a cocoon to trap him and Light won't notice until it's too late. I can't wait to see what volume 3 holds!
