Is this all?
Is this it? Are we going to ever be able to read the chapters we missed in English? Is Viz even going to publish them in book-form?
Of course...
...eventually. Volume 9 came out today, after all. Volume 10 is a bit off...
going to end soon?
I think this manga is going to end soon.... u see its all over once miho gets the gig of their anime and thats going to happen soon. then they will get married and then tada. were done yet another amazing comic by Death notes creators.
I wish this would show some more parts of minor characters like fukuda-san. I miss when they did that....
But I hope they will end this well.
