Synopsis

To alleviate his crippling boredom and indulge in the tasty pleasure of apples, shinigami Ryuk enters the human realm once more. The year is 2017, and Ryuk deems that high school student Minoru Tanaka may have the brains to continue what Kira had started, or at least he will provide him with some decent entertainment.

Revealing himself to Minoru, Ryuk offers the Death Note to him and explains its rules. However, after long and careful deliberation, Minoru proposes a counter-offer: he will decline the Death Note for now, but should Ryuk return in two years, Minoru will surely grant his wish.

In 2019, Ryuk returns to Minoru, who gladly accepts the notebook and sets his scheme in motion. The Japanese police, the mysterious detective L, and the entire world soon come to witness Minoru's meticulous plan: one that makes unprecedented use of the Death Note's devastating powers.

For clarity, I used to be a fan of Death Note. Not a big fan but a regular one: read the manga, watched the anime, watched the live-action movie. However, I remember very little from the original Death Note.

A quick summary about this: Ryuk, the Death God/Shinigami that helped the original protagonist: Light, continues to seek out his new "Kira" (the alias used by the original protagonist) for fun. Ryuk meets with Minoru (the current progonist) and he comes up with a different scheme in how to use the Death Note.

So basically it's a "modern interpretation" of how Death Note would play out in modern ...

The top review states that this is apparently a very good read if you're a "Death Note fan". I, respectfully, disagree. This short story is absolutely not something I'd recommend to a "Death Note fan" with excitement. Is it Death Note? Sure, yeah I suppose it is and has that similar charm to it, but it's kind of like going from L to Near in the original run. It feels underwhelming, less interesting and overall not as enjoyable and these feelings are only amplified if you were expecting anything interesting to happen. If you want to "hate read" it and then feel somewhat good after ...

To be honest it just straight up garbage🤬. Nothing good or interesting about this story compared to the original. I advise you not to read it, it might change your perspective of Kira to a horrible one, one who’s just damn greedy... The best thing I just to stick to the original and never acknowledge this ever happened.
The only thing that’s good about is it’s art style that is still just normal manga style nothing special bout it.😑
The best way I can put this “New Kira’s” fling story is that it’s just the barf 🤢 🤮 of all the stupidity the “Original Kira” has ...
