Light's plans bear fruit - By: T. R. Alexander, 30 May 2008 
This seventh volume of the truly excellent Death Note manga is something of a book of two halves. The first half of the volume sees the conclusion of Light's rather complicated plots & it looks like he is well on his way to creating his perfect world. The second half of the volume sets things up for the second half of the series with new opponents arising to challlenge Kira & events take a turn that he does not expect.
This series continues to impress me & some of the twists in the plot of the story, although seeming somewhat contrived in places, are nonetheless fascinating & do enough to keep you reading. I will definitely be interested to see where the story goes on from here.
#7-- An ending, and a new beginning - By: Manga goat, 18 Jan 2008 I won't spoil it for you, but a lot happens in this volume.
Characters die, the Yotsuba/Kira saga comes to an end, Light's machinations from 2 volumes ago before he was imprisoned are finallly revealed, & the main story that runs through the book takes a twist.
The 1st half of this volume is alll about endings. Light remembers everything he set into motion before he gave himself up to L, & many conclusions come out of it, while the main story takes a dramatic twist as it moves on 4 years.
The 2nd half is alll about setting up the coming volumes. New enemies/alllies [depending on if you agree with Kira or not] are revealed, & their own plans set into motion.
I am yet to read a volume of Death Note that isn't 5*, & this is no different.
