The L.A.B.B. murder cases; as narrated by M
Honestly, this was an excellent book. I originally was told about this series by my friend Jessica S. I first thought it to be weird, but it is currently one of my favorite book/Manga series.Well back to the point,This story, about the murderer Beyond Birthday, is narrated by Mihael Keehl. Readers of the Deathnote series will know this man a "Mello" or "M". Anyhow, Mello decides to write this story (one of the three he heard directly from L) because he finds it the most intriguing; (And wants Near to be envious, as Near never physically met L)The story starts as a normal detective novel, describing how B.B. is about to "Dismantle" his third victim. However, Mello quickly redirects from this, and tells the story in a different manner, going from Naomi Misora's point of view, and often interrupting the story with his own theories.The plot begins simply, a serial killer in Los Angeles has murdered three people, and has left a series of clues the police cannot solve. This does not interest Naomi Misora, until she is contacted by the mysterious super-detective L. L informs Misora she is his "eyes" and wants her to help investigate the case.As she begins to investigate the case, she meets a strange detective known as Rue Ryuzaki. The man is a conflict of interest to Naomi, both because of his odd habits, and his incredible deductive ability. The man asks to work with Ms. Misora, and the plot thickens from there.Overall, this book was excellent, and only slightly slow at the beginning. Anyone who likes Deathnote must read this excellent story. This book also has an excellent reread value that some detective novels lack (Also not sure whether or not to call this a detective novel)In any sense, a great book. Well done, NISIOISIN.

“If L’s a genius, then B’s an extreme genius.”
I love it so much!! It’s one of my favorite books now! I love Beyond Birthday (hear me out!! I can fix him🗣️). The book is so well written. The ending made me cry, but I think they couldn’t have done anything better!

The victims' names are so dumb it's distracting
As much as I enjoyed this, it loses a star for the utterly stupid "names" of the murder victims. Would it really have been that hard to find a method other than apparently drawing random words out of a hat?

He expands the fictional story of mankind’s greatest detective, L
Death Note Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases by NisiOisiN Review (written by a twelfth-grade student)Delving into a murder mystery, three detectives try to uncover the puzzles left behind for them by an elaborate killer. Located in Los Angeles and set before the original Death Note, this book serves as a prequel. NisiOisiN writes a thrilling story of twists and turns. He expands the fictional story of mankind’s greatest detective, L.Naomi Misora is an F.B.I. detective who has recently been indefinitely suspended. She receives a call from L, the world’s claimed “greatest detective”. L asks for Naomi’s help in an unsolved case. If they work together, he believes they can solve it.While investigating, Misora stumbles upon private detective Ryuzaki. He explains how he was hired by the family of the victims to help solve the case. Over time, Misora and Ryuzaki become mutually acquainted with one another. Misora asks L if it’s alright to work alongside Ryuzaki and L approves.I found myself emphasizing with all three characters. I felt like I was riding alongside them and figuring out parts of the mystery myself. I think that Another Note is eighty-percent character driven and twenty-percent plot driven.NisiOisiN explores the themes of justice, envy, and trust. Naomi questions what justice is and self-critically ponders if her past choices were right or wrong. I think that NisiOisiN uses his themes effectively. By utilizing the importance of human life he relates Naomi to the reader in a realistic way. The three detectives must continually ask the question, “Who is the next victim?”Shueisha, Viz Media, 176 Pages
