And this concludes my regular read of "Death Note". Yes, I always stop after reading Vol. 7, because I can't really enjoy the series with Mello and Near (even though they are interesting characters!) and the older Light - I don't know, especially Light tends to annoy me the longer the story continues. I can totally understand Ryuk's decision in the end :D But even if I always stop reading (and watching) here: It's my favourite Manga of all time. I just love the story and the characters and the whole idea. It's always such a great and entertaining read.
