Good information about the death note characters. Outside of stats There's nothing you can really learn from this book that you can't get from the main series.
Moon Magic: Your Complete Guide to Harnessing the Mystical Energy of the Moon by Diane Ahlquist

I had this book on my shelf for a while also is pretty excited to read it. It does have some pretty good information such as involving phases of the moon. My practice doesn't really focus on the rule of 3 or that you only have to do "good" spells. I just got the ick one to many times. Also for a witchcraft book it has a bit too much about losing weight.

I love the messaging and art work in this book. The interviews as well as the quotes were a nice touch. It is always interesting to see a manga style memoir.

This Manga is definitely looking like a product of its time. It has a lot of the typical early 2000s anime tropes. Such as the way the twins act. Once you get past that it's pretty good, solid premise and gives me Black Butler vibes. I would like to note that this is my first time engaging with this media, as I didn't watch the anime.
