Chapter 280 A Gentle Breeze

Akemi Akimiya looked at the newspaper with a grim expression.

These past few days, as winter has arrived, the weather has turned cold rapidly. Higashino Hibiki has a fever and is now suffering from a terrible headache, yet he's still wrapped in a blanket drawing manga.

Akemi Akemi really didn't know how to tell Hibiki Higashino about this, worried that he might accidentally collapse from exhaustion.

Hiroyuki Oyama said in the newspaper that he was a very open-minded person and would not deprive his grandson of his hobbies.

But he happened to see his grandson reading "Death Note" and, out of curiosity, started reading it too.

After this point in the press release, his words became exceptionally sharp, amounting to accusations and even insults.

"I can say with certainty that Death Note is a rather anti-human work."

"The comic is full of reflections on society, questioning of the real judicial system, and satire of government rulers. The cold words abandon morality, and the life and death of mankind are decided in the hands of a madman."

"The most precious thing a person has is life, and life is only given to them once. But in the comics, life is used as a bargaining chip, and the protagonist makes mistakes again and again, using it as a satire of the police."

"His arrogant personality and behavior that goes against his worldview will undoubtedly lead children who have not yet formed a complete worldview to have wrong perceptions."

"In this respect, the government's failure to fulfill its function of banning this comic book is simply a waste of taxpayers' money."

"It is shameful that the magazine publishing company is so unscrupulous in its pursuit of profit, disregarding the healthy development of teenagers."

"Especially the author of this book, Tori Akino Mirai, is even more despicable. He attracts attention by deviating from the right path and pollutes children with theories that are not recognized by society. Once an author like him succeeds, countless people will follow suit, and the consequences will be very serious."

Hiroyuki Oyama's remarks ended there. Akemi Akimiya, suppressing her anger, read to the end and was so angry that she laughed out loud.

"If Hibiki wants to attract attention, he should just keep drawing Slam Dunk... Hiroyuki Oyama makes unwarranted comments and suspicions without understanding the background, what a scoundrel."

This was the first time Higashino Hibiki had ever seen Akemi Akemi so angry. He weakly shook the blanket, tilted his head, and asked, "Akemi, what's wrong? What did the newspaper say?"

"Ah, it's nothing." Akemi Akemi put the newspaper away.

Hibiki Higashino smiled and said to her, "It's okay, I'm not that fragile."

Akemi Akemi could only hand the newspaper to Hibiki Higashino.

"I'm used to being myself, and I don't care what others think." Higashino Hibiki looked up and smiled at Akemi Akemi, telling her not to worry, before looking down at the "manifesto".

“Inhuman…haha…cough cough,” Higashino Hibiki was amused. He laughed loudly, followed by violent coughing. He was gasping for breath, his face turned red, and his whole body was trembling.

Seeing this, Akemi Akemi quickly patted Hibiki Higashino's back, "Don't get angry over this kind of person. I know he's talking nonsense, and no one will take it seriously."

"Cough cough," Higashino Hibiki stopped Akemi Akemi with a wave of his hand. He gradually adjusted his breathing, and the violent coughing subsided and he gradually calmed down.

"I...I'm fine, I just found it ridiculous and it irritated my throat. Wait..." Higashino Hibiki pulled off the blanket, stood up and jumped, and under Akemi Akemi's panicked gaze, he said with delight, "My fever is gone!"

Akemi Akemi looked at Hibiki Higashino's energetic appearance and said hesitantly, "It seems to be true."

"The fever has gone down." Higashino Hibiki touched his forehead; the fever had subsided, and now it felt cool to the touch.

He looked down at the newspaper and exclaimed, "What a magnificent article!"

……

With the publication of Hiroyuki Oyama's article, parents now had a basis for their opinions; the expert's explanation sounded very reasonable, so it must be true.

With a leader in place, the voices against "Death Note" united as one, while those who were debating "Death Note" were scattered and disorganized, so they were utterly defeated.

Public opinion has been skewed towards discussions about "Death Note".

However, there is a positive side as well. Even negative publicity is still publicity, which has further boosted the popularity of "Death Note".

Hibiki Higashino could only console himself with this thought.

……

A few days later, Higashino Hibiki was surprised to find that despite the uproar outside, he felt no pressure at all.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of fantasy, as if these accusations and discussions didn't exist.

Even the editors didn't offer any comfort to Hibino Hibiki, continuing to work as usual, discussing the subsequent storyboards for "Death Note".

Sasaki and Madhouse seemed to ignore everything and continued working methodically on the anime adaptation of Death Note.

The world seems to have a broken connection.

A couple of days ago, Akemi Akimiya, who had just finished the latest episode of "Sakura Mission", went home for a visit.

Mr. Akimiya was naturally aware of the recent public opinion surrounding Hibiki Higashino, and he specifically sought out "Death Note" to read.

Seeing his daughter's uneasy expression, Mr. Akimiya took action.

……

In mid-December, Death Note reached its tenth chapter.

To Maruyama Masao's relief, Tori Akino Mirai was not disturbed by the outside world, and Death Note remained sharp and its mystery plots still captivated readers.

Episode 9 explains in detail the cause of the FBI agents' deaths.

Moon coerced Ray and used the death of a rapist who had escaped the law to prove that he was Kira.

"If you don't obey, I'll kill everyone here."

Whether Yue's words came from her true feelings or were a last resort to threaten Lei sparked a discussion.

Furthermore, Yue threatened Lei with his family and fiancée, forcing Lei to comply.

Following Yue's instructions, he contacted an FBI agent of lower rank to inquire about documents related to the 12 FBI agents investigating Kira in Japan.

He then wrote the names one by one in the hole in the envelope, referring to the photo on the document.

The envelope contained papers from the "Death Note." Light had gone to great lengths to prevent Rei from seeing the Shinigami Ryuk and causing a disturbance.

After that, Ray and the agents all died, and the FBI's cleanup operation was completed.

To prevent L from discovering his tricks, Light wrote in advance in the "Death Note" that all the agents obtained the same document before they died, and the order in which they died and obtained the document was also scrambled.

He firmly believes that no one can trace him through this accident.

……

"As expected of Kira."

"awesome!"

"Her logic is meticulous; Yue is far superior to L!"

Online forums discuss the plot of each chapter of Death Note as it is published.

They were moved by the ruthlessness of the moon in this episode.

"Only gods are so high and mighty."

"L is no match for Yue at all."

By taking a dangerous, tightrope-walking approach and gradually revealing his identity, Light Yagami unexpectedly achieved his goal.

Now L has no choice but to take action himself.

"I really want to see the next chapter, the part where L gets taken care of by Light."

"The moon will surely reign supreme."

"He did a really good job. Because of Kira, the crime rate has dropped significantly."

The Moon Party began to gain the upper hand in the forum, and the L faction was suppressed and dared not speak.

Only people spoke in secret.

"Don't you think Yue has gone too far? He killed an agent and is now using the safety of passersby to blackmail him."

"This is just Yue's plan."

"So what if you kill them? You should definitely kill the people who threaten you."

"So charming, Camille is the best!"

Some people give off off the cuff, while others give responses after careful consideration.

"I'm becoming more and more convinced that Light is the villain. He's a ruthless person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Judging from his actions and his drive, he is undoubtedly a villain. One day, Light Yagami will sacrifice his father, the chief of police."

"Yue once wanted to become a policeman and fight criminals like his father. In his heart, Soichiro Yagami was a great figure, and he was filled with admiration for him."

"But after obtaining the Death Note, Light's personality changed, or rather, with the Death Note as his reliance, Light was able to express his true thoughts."

"This is really interesting. The way Tori Akino-sensei arranged the plot is to completely portray the protagonist as the villain. I've never read a manga like this before."

"One day, I would like to create a work similar to Death Note. It would be very interesting."

After typing the last word and sending it, Okouchi closed his laptop; it was time for him to go home.

……

Episode 10 of Death Note is about Light's crisis.

Rai's fiancée, the beautiful Naomi Minami with long, straight black hair, gradually gets closer to Light Yagami by investigating the bus Rai takes.

L also made contact with five police officers who were determined to eliminate Kira through his unscrupulous behavior. These five officers were full of a sense of justice and risked their lives to investigate Kira.

Now that only those who are not afraid of death remain, it is actually more advantageous for L to command.

Among these five people is Light's father, Souichirou Yagami.

Chapter 281 Notebook Merchandise

"In Death Note, to kill someone, you must see their face and know their name. Kira is in the Kanto region of Japan, a student, and a family member of a police officer. He has been in contact with FBI agents."

Koji Yoshida sat on the sofa in Tori Akino Studio, immersed in the plot of "Death Note". "Although Light Yagami has conquered many places, leaving L with only five people to use and forcing L to show himself, more and more of his information has been exposed."

As the moon's trump cards dwindle and become increasingly conspicuous, the moment Kira, hidden in the shadows, is exposed will be the moment of his death.

L appears to be at a disadvantage, but in reality, he is gradually mastering the essential elements for victory.

"L is more like the protagonist of a classic manga."

From L's perspective, Death Note is a wonderful, normal suspense and mystery manga.

"You're noisy, Yoshida."

Higashino looked up helplessly. He had fallen behind in his work due to his illness a couple of days ago and had been extremely busy these past two days. "If you have time, please urge your assistant about his work."
