I enjoyed it, especially the way they showed how plot of original Death Note couldn't really happen in today's world, given current supervision of Internet and stuff. Sure, the ending for Minoru was "unfair", but honestly - that's what you get for playing aroud with a shinigami and mass murder weapon lol. 7/10

Honestly, I feel bad for Minoru. He died due to a rule that was added later. Well, anyway, it was a good read. I liked it.

I missed Ryuk, him asking if Minoru was an idiot made me laugh.

Minoru over here selling the Death Note. It's an interesting story for sure, and I felt like it was paced better than the previous one-shot. Nothing felt too rushed.

Near has some magnificent hair.

I'm okay with Minoru's fate as well. At the end of the day the Death Note is about tragedy. Minoru tried to be sneaky and keep his hands clean, but he was still going to enable another potential Kira-level threat. He had no problem profiting off of that. So it's not like he was a good person per se. I think what we've learned with these one-shots is to just say no, or else be prepared to go out in a blaze of glory.

Very underwhelming and disappointing. 5/10.
A world where the Death Note lives on through another human years after Kira is intriguing,
but the outcome of another smart male teenager create a better economy for Japan by splitting America's bid to 1B to each people under 60 years old from a specific bank, only to die after withdrawing the money from Ryuk's new rule to have a Death Note buyer/seller die ... is lame.

I don't know wether the buildup was legitimately clever or forced, but the finale is disappointing regardless, and doesn't add anything to Death Note itself.
I'm shocked at how disappointing this Mangaka Duo's latest two works are. Platinum End and now this are truly bad.

I'm still salty that Minoru got screwed over by a last minute deus ex machina rule. I don't understand why the Shinigami King even got so upset. Was he just angry that a human came up with such a brilliant plan with no drawbacks?

But aside from that detail, this was by and large the best Death Note one-shot.

Not really. The reason Ryuk did not tell Minoru about the new rule was because he requested Ryuk to never come back to him ever again. You could say he caused his own downfall just like Light.


The Shinigami King added the new rule after the MC sold the death note to Trump. So Ryuk telling him about it after the fact wouldn't matter since he already broke the new rule and there's no way he can undo it.

Dunno if already answered. He could have not taken the money from his bank accounts. The only one in japan not benefiting from it. Maybe sending it back to america counts as not receiving it.
With information given he could have been alive, but those were refused as he made a promise with Ryuk. I think that was the point. Dunno if it was too late already

The reasoning behind this is that he still has same fault by that order to Ryuk. It is inteded ironically. If that what u said applies, he was completly powerless. My said way it was not a certain death,

Either I'm gay or adult Near looked like a woman.

This was a fun little read. Even as someone who enjoyed (and misses) Donald Trump's presidency, I found that whole bit mocking him to be hilarious.

A really good manga to read if you REALLY enjoyed Deathnote, and want to see a unique perspective and application of the Deathnote. Not only did the story wow and shock me it did so to Near and Ryuk as well! A must read!

He looked like a woman, and Trump should've taken it. Would've been better off.

Smart kid. Did everything right and got himself a good life but then got screwed by something beyond his control. Still a very smart way of using the death note. Lesson learned the death note brings death to the user no matter how smart they are. Still smart kid. He screwed over the USA and gave a bunch of people money and revitalized the Japanese Economy. I honestly feel bad for him.
