| It was pretty good until the ending. There's no way Minrou could have knew about the new rule the king added at the very last second and Ryuuk just decided to not tell Minrou about it. The rules say he only dies once he receives the money, he could have asked his mom to receive it for him or something. |

| I can't tell you how glad I am that the duo put together this one shot for February instead of a new chapter of Platinum End. I actually enjoyed this one! It was interesting to see how Near's habits of playing with toys have evolved. It bothers me that I've seen people trying to compare Light as the old Kira to Minoru as the "new Kira," when he really isn't a Kira at all. Saying that Minoru "beat Near" implies that they were ever in direct competition, which they weren't. Near just had a fascination with the fact that new things were happening related to the Kira case, and because he labeled this new actor as A-Kira, I think a lot of people are latching on to that and considering Minoru a Kira. They even address this in the manga. At worst, he's an international arms dealer, but not a mass murderer, i.e. not a Kira. Trying to compare Light and Minoru to see who is the better Kira is overlooking the fact that they are totally different characters with different motivations and different purposes in the narrative. Just because they both gave Ryuk apples doesn't mean you can compare the two apples to apples. (Okay you can kill me for that last joke. I'm kind of ashamed but not enough to erase it.) |

| i appreciate that it didn't take itself seriously and that, more importantly, light's probably up there proud/entertained by tanaka. |

He didn't even commit a murder He sold off a tool that could kill for his monetary gain. A tool far more powerful than any gun or knife. If he was a good guy he should have destroyed it. |
| I was thinking, Trump could've gotten the death note if he asked someone else to grab the book so he doesn't die. |

| I like how the ending plays with the idea that whoever tries to benefit or profit from the Death Note is doomed. Like, it implicitly tells the reader that nobody should have that kind or that amount of power in their hands; and if they want it, then there are consequences. |
 |
| Lmao this kid messed up Japan's economy and likely put the US in some deep financial shit all over a fucking notebook. I love Death Note. That new rule is bullshit tho. |

lmaono said: it was alright, also did matsuda not age? He has Hirohiko Araki's anti-aging power (Jojo reference) Also that Justin shinigami looks like a Part 5 stand (another Jojo reference) |
| A shitty story, the point of death note is to use it. The end was also very disappointing, the rule was added only for plot conveniance. The real successor of Kira should be able to outsmart L AND kill every criminals. The one-shot would have been better if the authors showed a future where Light won and rules the world : something many fans hoped to see... |
| The author should seriously consider continuing Death Note. Gave me nostalgia. Lmao when Trump appeared in the manga. |

| The bank part was interesting. Divided it is such a genius idea. |
| It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person. |

That's a stupid POV, would be completely unrealistic to have another genius who would also go down the retarded path of trying to confront the super detective head on the way Light did and would also be boring and uncreative to have him have the same ideals as Light. If we want another Death Note, it needs to have a new fresh thematic, not an inferior watered down version of the Light vs L arc. |
| What a shitty ending! |
 |
| Also STARKUCKS COFFEE |
| The story is too ridiculous, but then again it's a one-shot so I don't really care that much for plot holes. And the MC was so stupid. Could have just used the Death Note to do some crazy stuff and earn money slowly. If ever there come a time someone will make a part 2 of Death Note, I don't want this MC to show up at all. |

 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
Tanma said: I was ready to be disappointed but it was enjoyable. Feel bad for Minoru, get the money, kill no one, beat Near but still lose because of that new rules. Poor guy he didn't really "beat Near" because Near didn't really give a shit. He could have very easily found him if he put even 0.1% of his efforts into it. |
 |
| I thought it was an interesting way to use the death note. But there are some problems with his thing, if he gave everyone one billion yen, then wouldn't the economy fall because of inflation? Since everyone is getting the money who has a bank account with that bank, the money will lose value. Problems aside, 8/10 story |

Near couldn't do shit because he didn't have L to plan out everything for him this time True, I'm not a fan of Near myself - I wanted Light to win so badly. |
|
| Well, this was a very fun read, but for some reason it felt like the L in this one-shot was an impostor. |
| wait i dont get it lol trump didnt receive the note meaning minoru shouldnt die and trump shouldnt die either? |
 |
| That's BS, suddenly adding a new rule after Minoru gave the death note up.... |
 |
| This was great until the ending. i guess some things never change lol |

| That was a good read. Got to enjoy the nostalgia of Death Note and see Ryuk being mischievous as always. Wasn't expecting to see Trump in this manga. Minoru came up with a great plan that outsmarted everyone, including the Shinigami King. The King had to go as far as adding a new rule to prevent this type of thing from ever happening again. It sucks that the MC had to die and couldn't enjoy his success, but it is what it is. At the end of the day, he accomplished his mission and helped out his country and fellow citizens so that they can prosper. Overall, I give it an 8/10. |
| The story was perfect until they killed the best MC of the series with such an ass pull. Seriously, Light was an asshole and I never found myself rooting for him but Minoru did nothing wrong, he deserved a lot better. |
 |
| This one-shot was pretty good but the ending was meh, it felt unnecessary and just came from nowhere. |
 |
| the extra rule is an asspull the protagonist is too much of an idealist |
 |
| Very meticulous execution, but the ending was absolute BS and weighed down the experience a lot for me. The kid made zero mistakes during his plan. He didn't use the Notebook, he didn't take the easy route of manipulating someone's actions to give him money because he didn't want to kill. but was killed-off because of the whims of the shinigami, without being notified because Ryuk had a "Well technically..." moment. Also, don't think too much about the economic implications of that transaction for Japan. It's on a shōnen magazine, you oughtn't be expecting econ lectures. |
 |
| Hmm... what if the kid just scammed the US and never told Ryuk to deliver the notebook? Could he have kept the money without dying I wonder. This was a fun read. |

| He didn't die because of the rule, technically the notebook was never sold. It's just Ryuk writing in the book himself. Overall, it wasn't bad, pretty smart way to gain the most from the Death Note without actually using it. And I liked Near with his long hair. |
