Full-time comic artist

"Plan is in place!"

His usually clear eyes now gleamed with sharpness and smugness.

Light Yagami's facial features hadn't changed, but he looked like a completely different person, exuding a villainous aura.

The shadow cast on my face looked as terrifying as a demon!

"Absolutely brilliant!" Kobayashi exclaimed, his mouth agape for a long time before he finally closed it.

This was Light Yagami's longest and most dangerous plan.

He treated himself as a pawn, dancing under L's nose.

In the end, he made the better move, solving his own problems while also infiltrating L's team and gaining a voice.

"Death Note was interesting enough before, but now it's even more amazing."

Kobayashi's heart was in turmoil.

I was deeply immersed in the storyline of Light Yagami's plan succeeding.

Then, looking at where this chapter ended, I felt a sense of loss.

He doesn't know how long it will be before he sees this content.

"Kobayashi-kun, Kobayashi-kun," the editor called out, "Have you finished reading?"

He pointed at the jumper, his expression complicated.

"Ah, I'm sorry!" Kobayashi quickly closed Jump and bowed in apology.

He got distracted while discussing the comic with the editor.

"Seriously," the editor said, speechless. "This is the first time I've ever met someone as carefree as you. Don't you care about your comics at all?"

"I'm so sorry!" Kobayashi kowtowed repeatedly. "I was wrong!"

“Never mind,” the editor sighed, “let’s continue.”

"School Rumble" is very funny, ranking among the top in school comedy comics. The unreliable young man in front of you is indeed talented.

If his talent continues, then both he and Kobayashi will have a bright future.

Thinking of this, he gently put it down.

After the discussion about the manga ended, Kobayashi was completely satisfied. According to the editor, it was very likely that "School Rumble" would be serialized.

He picked up Jump, said goodbye to the editor, and was filled with ambition.

While Death Note is very interesting, School Rumble is his masterpiece.

He can't become Tori Akino yet, but he will keep trying.

After watching him leave, the editor took out a copy of Weekly Shonen Jump from his briefcase and eagerly began reading.

"Judging from Kobayashi's reaction, Death Note must be incredibly exciting!"

……

Friday, at Hibiki Higashino's studio.

“Teacher Akino,” Omori said, “Shoichi got first place in Death Note again, didn’t he?”

Hibiki Higashino had just spoken with Koji Yoshida to inform him of the rankings, and he nodded, "That's right."

Omori was overjoyed, "I knew it!"

In terms of the brilliance of Death Note, this is beyond doubt.

Tanaka offered his congratulations, "Congratulations, Mr. Toriakino."

"Thank you," Hibiki Higashino said with a smile.

Death Note is coming to an end, and it's a very happy thing to be able to end it when readers are most satisfied with it.

Most comics on Jump can't do that.

"Death Note is currently at its peak, even overshadowing One Piece. According to editor Yoshida, the first volume of Death Note has already sold over three million copies, with an average sales volume of 260 million. It's incredibly successful." Omori thought to himself, "If I could serialize it and achieve half the success of Death Note, I would be ecstatic."

Tanaka curled his lip, "Don't even dream about it."

There are very few manga on Jump that have achieved half the success of Death Note.

Even popular works on Jump like "Naruto" and "The Prince of Tennis" don't have this achievement.

Not to mention other works.

“It’s not illegal for me to dream,” Omori said angrily.

He's quite shrewd.

"I understand now." Tanaka smiled.

The narcissistic Omori made him want to roast him.

“Tori Akino-sensei,” Omori looked at Hibiki Higashino with disbelief, “I still can’t believe that Death Note is ending. How is this possible?”

Before Hibiki Higashino could answer, Tanaka said, "Isn't Slam Dunk the same?"

Omori frowned. "When Slam Dunk ended, the author said he had run out of inspiration. And Death Note was only serialized for a year. It would be such a waste to end such a successful work like this..."

Hibiki Higashino stood up. "It is precisely because of its excellent results that we must end it in a satisfying and exhilarating way, like fireworks that bloom in the highest sky, leaving readers with an unforgettable autumn memory."

……

Light Yagami obtained the Death Note and remembered the mechanism of his watch. He turned the knob to retrieve the Death Note fragment that had been hidden in the watch. Then he took out a thin needle and pricked his finger.

Using a fine needle as a pen and blood as ink, he wrote the name of the crater on the tattered pages of his notebook.

In front of everyone, under the watchful eyes of all, Huokou collapsed.

Light Yagami regained ownership of the notebook.

He became Kira, and his next target is L!

The rivalry between Light Yagami and L has begun anew, and now he possesses many trump cards.

Misa Amane went to find his hidden notebook. As long as he wrote down L's name, his final plan would be complete.

Chapter 314 The Death of L

The Death Note that L obtained had two additional rules, which Light Yagami had tricked Ryuk into writing by using an apple as bait.

The first rule is that if the person using the notebook does not kill someone within 13 days, they will die.

Secondly, if the notebook is torn up or burned and rendered unusable, then everyone who has touched the notebook will die.

This put L in a dilemma.

He is now absolutely convinced that Light and Misa Amane are Kira, but they were imprisoned for more than 50 days, during which time they certainly did not commit any murders, which contradicts the first point.

Light Yagami also used this reason to get L to release Misa Amane.

The second clause ensures that the laptop will not be damaged by L.

These were all plans that Yue had devised before losing her memory, and now they were all being put to use.

After Misa Amane was released, she dug up Ryuk's notebook as Light Yagami had instructed, and Ryuk returned to the human world.

Now is the time for Misa Amane to kill L, but she has forgotten L's name.

After all, so much time has passed, and Misa Amane saw many names back then, so it's normal for her to forget L's name.

……

"The information gap between L and Yue is too big. I feel sorry for L for a second."

"Moon is already smart enough. Giving him such a huge advantage, how is L supposed to survive?"

After the release of the new chapter, many readers began to discuss it.

After seeing the rules of killing in "Death Note," L's bewildered state evoked their pity.

L had thought of everything, but was hindered by something mysterious and unknown.

This feeling of frustration is very unpleasant for readers of intellectual mystery novels.

Another group of readers, or rather, those who like Light Yagami, have a completely different viewpoint.

"Just as I thought, at this critical moment, they left L with some leeway again."

"L was facing a dead end because Misa Amane, that idiot, survived."

"This is probably Akino-sensei's problem. He only drew Death Note for a year, so he definitely wouldn't let the important character L die. That's why he drew this kind of forced content."

"It's really frustrating. We've gone in circles and ended up back where we started."

Has Toriakino Mirai run out of ideas?

Their remarks greatly displeased Tori Akino Mirai's fans.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Several months have passed since Misa Amane met L, and she saw thousands of names. How could you possibly remember them all?"

“That’s right, Akino Tori’s drawing is excellent, there’s absolutely no problem.”

They started arguing.

Some people believe that adding new rules to "Death Note" is going too far, and that Akino Tori lost the seriousness and earnestness that the story has always maintained in order to protect Light Yagami.

Some believe that L was lucky to survive because Akino Tori was reluctant to give up this important character.

Some people believe that Akino Tori didn't do anything wrong, that this part is reasonable, and that Akino Tori is still the god-level manga artist he always was.

They each have their own stance, yet they share the same view.

"Death Note will be drawn for a long time."

……

Another week has passed.

"Death Note is so interesting."

Nakamura invited the girl he liked to dinner and started talking non-stop about Death Note.

The girl rested her chin on her hand and silently watched him.
