At first I really liked Light (although he looked a lot like Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh occaisionally), but he seems to really have lost focus, and I stopped caring for him after he started killing the innocent police officers (and their fiances). The wierd thing about Death Note is that there IS no hero. You don't want L to suceed, but you don't want Light to either.
About L's death, I'm being inclined to believe that one of two things has/will happen:
-L faked his death. As Light wouldn't be able to tell if the last name in the Death Note WAS L's or not (how we he know?), Light would be none the wiser. But, if that was true, I think Light would have noticed (when holding L after he collapsed) that his heart was still beating.
-L really did die. BUT, if you read that one shot story (the pilot), there's something very interesting that I forgot all about until later. There is an eraser that the demons can give you, and if you erase the person's name from the Death Note, they will come back to life. This only works if their body is still intact (ie, stabbed to death/jumped from a building = no, heart attack = yes). I'm hoping that somehow, unless L's been creamated or something, he can be brought back.
I can't wait for Viz to finally release it, I'm dying to be able to re-read everything in it's full qulality . To be honest, the scans I've been reading have been ass-trocious quality for such great artwork.
And I agree w/ Vegeta. I didn't skip over the chapters, but the part where the company got their hands on the Death Note was boring. The end result was important (the DN's exposure), but the way there was rather tedious.
