Light learns a few lessons while wheeling and dealing in Death Note Vol. 6<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Brandon-2012-cutout\"<\/a>Welcome back for another edition of Otaku Corner! As all of you know, this is my little corner of GI where I bring you the best in manga and anime that will keep you entertained and free from having reader\u2019s remorse in time and money spent.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m continuing the most epic battle of wits mixed with a splash of ethics and a good pinch of the supernatural. We\u2019re following up with Death Note, written by Tsugumi Ohba and drawn by Takeshi Obata. <\/span><\/p>\n

Death Note volume six continues the story of Light Yagami, a high school genius who obtains a Death Note, a notebook belong to the death god Ryuk. With the Death Note and Ryuk, Light vows to rid the world of crime. However, when criminals worldwide began to die in record time, the ICPO calls in L, a legendary detective to bring in the serial killer. With L closing in each day, how long will Light be able to retain his noble goal and his life? <\/span><\/p>\n

In volume six subtitled \u201cGive and Take,\u201d the task force was able to determine that \"Death<\/a>the new \u201cKira\u201d has been working to commit murders among the Japanese business community that not only benefit himself, but also the Yosuba Group. However, there is debate among the task force members about the methods of capture, which causes a brief rift. Light and Ryuzaki decide to use Misa to further gain information on the current Kira and the seven Yosuba members\u2019 plans. During an interview to become a Yosuba spokesperson, Misa was briefly reunited with her Death Note\u2019s shinigami, Rem, who tells Misa not only about Light being the real Kira, but also reveals the current Kira: Higuchi. <\/span><\/p>\n

Upon learning that Higuchi was the third Kira, Misa pretends to go on date with Higuchi while secretly recording him stating that he was behind the recent killings of Yosuba\u2019s rivals and regular criminals. As a result, Ryuzaki plans to use Sakura TV to trap Higuchi using Matsuda as bait. When Higuchi discovers that Matsuda is still alive, he sets off a high-speed chase throughout Tokyo, while at the same time trying to kill Mastuda. In the end, Higuchi fails miserably as the task force and a small contingent of police officers led by Aizawa and Ide trap Higuchi, which leads to major changes for all of the main characters in the next volume.<\/span><\/p>\n
