Closing in.
Near and Mello have Light feeling the strain, as they are becoming more and more sure of who Kira is, even if not completely understanding what he is doing at this point in time.
They even manage to make the own Japanese police taskforce he is heading up far more suspicious of him.
The Kira movement is a growing political force with major companies jumping on the bandwagon, leading Light back to an old university friend.
Sort of a time marking volume, setting up what would appear to be the final endgame back in Japan.

Tsugumi Ohba, Death Note: Deletion (ViZ, 2003)
Death Note has become more like a chess game than ever before these days, with everyone trying to figure out who's on whose side, who can and can't be trusted, and who's about to act against whom. Because of this, the series is getting somewhat more internalized; this volume is probably the talkiest of the bunch so far, with at least a third of the book being devoted to characters having conversations with themselves. It's pretty obvious that this volume is setup (and with only two remaining, it's setup for the big climax), but it's good setup. ***

Picking up where Volume 9 left off, an angry mob of Kira supporters is closing in on the highrise headquarters of Near, but not before he has a chance to plant seeds of doubt among Light's co-investigators, especially Aizawa. There was a whole charade played out many volumes ago that supposedly proved Light's innocence, but it was a based on a fake rule written in the Death Note, but up until this point, nobody knew that it was a lie written by Kira to mislead the authorities just in case it ever fell into their hands. Now, the case for Light's innocence is not so ironclad anymore. Always planning ahead, Light decides once again to let his Deathnote be placed in the hands of another, a loyal and devoted follower of Kira named Teru Mikami. Teru's determination to bring absolute justice to the world might even go beyond Light's. Mello is still around as well, and his driving ambition is still to capture Kira before Near.
Volume 10 of Deathnote was probably one of the best entries in the series because this manga is at its best when the characters are manuvering under conditions in which their lives are at risk. Or, in Light's case, when he is danger of being found out. This book has it all. You have Near being confronted by an angry mob that will likely tear him to pieces, you have Aizawa's deepening suspicions about Light, and then you have Light, who is rapidly being forced into a corner, even though in all his raging pomposity about his intelligence, he probably doesn't even realize it. At the end of this series, I sure hope Light gets his comeuppance, because the guy is just too full of himself. Unfortunately, Ohba's story has allowed him to become a god simply by letting him predict almost every single move the other characters make. In reality, noone can predict human behavior as well as Light, Near, and Mello do. It almost takes away from the thrills of the book because everyone reacts just as the characters thought they would react, which to me takes away a bit of the spontaneity. Still, this is one of the best books going right now.

This graphic novel is intended for those who like to read and figure out intricate mystery plots. It's not like your typical manga, it is higher up on the scale, somewhere with Monster and Battle Royale, so if you like to figure out puzzles and are interested in killers with a higher motive than you will enjoy this.

Death Note has got to be the best manga written to date. The story will keep readers guessing and is very complex and interesting. Even my boyfriend, who usually likes ecchi manga and anime, loves this manga/anime. Everyone, including those who haven't read any Japanese graphic novels, should buy all the available volumes!!!! The anime is also very well crafted. The movies are ok; they deviate from the manga.
