Death Note, Vol. 2: 合流 Confluence

The visuals really amplify the tense atmosphere. I'm curious if the artist intentionally used certain techniques to heighten the feeling of unease or if it evolved naturally.

Watching his character become more ruthless made me wonder how much of that was planned from the start or if it was a natural progression in his arc.

The addition of new figures added fresh dynamics, but I wonder how the author decided when and how to bring in these characters to keep the plot engaging.
