I really just read this to understand the BB memes and references to be honest. I appreciated how feral Ryuzaki was in this.

His body language reminded her of Pooh Bear, but Ryuzaki was neither yellow nor adorable, and less a bear inclined to doing nothing than a rather tall man with a pronounced slouch. When he had eaten four handfuls of jam, he proceeded to put his lips directly on the rim of the jar like it was a cup of tea and slurp the contents noisily. Within moments he had consumed the entire jar.
"Sorry for the delay."
"Oh... not at all."

This whole scene made me cry laughing, why are you like this?


A couple comments in the book made me uncomfortable, and I don’t like how misogynistic this franchise seems to get

Naomi Misora, my beloved, is way smarter than I’ll ever be, her deductions were so intellectually stimulating and half the time I was just nodding along pretending I understood but that’s showbiz baby <3 Also this really did feel like it was narrated by Mello, and that ending was such a nice and direct attribute to the original Death Note story. Definitely a fun, quick read
