Death Note, Vol. 3

The pacing keeps you on the edge of your seat, but I wonder what choices led to the heightened stakes here. Was it planned from the start or did it evolve during writing?

His descent into moral ambiguity made me question whether he's truly a hero or a villain. How do others interpret his character arc so far?

The addition of fresh faces added complexity, but I’m curious whether this was planned from the beginning or a response to the story’s development.
