Translation is here.
Enjoy 
and… discuss!?
Ocean, you wonderful, wonderful person. You have the highest gratitude possible. Looks like all the sleepless nights I've suffered have finally ended!
I'm off to read it. Will edit once I've gathered my thoughts.
Do you know when W,tF will have it out?

They (we? I'm part of them for other project :P) will have it out after Monday, when proper scan comes in from their scanner. … Unless they decide this scan is good enough to work on. After Monday, it'll be depend on how fast the editor can work, I think.
I like how now we have two L's competing for the Death Notes now, which could either make things better for Light with them trying to throw the other off track to solve the case first or worse since his plans will probably need to become even more elaborate.
It's nice to see Sayu have some real involvement, too…

I think I speak for the fandom when I say that a cruddy scan would suffice!

Yeah, Sayu's a hottie 
Hmmm. I want to do some discussion…
As I was translating it, I was considering the possibility of Mero being a good person. I forgot the reasoning why I thought about it, but how do you think?
I can't possibly see Mello as a good person. Maybe it's his (damn, I still cannot accept that he's a guy) utterly psychotic way of eating chocolate bars, his "Children of the Corn" look in general, or the fact that he hangs around and works with thugs who want to get the Death Note for there own use, but I'd certainly say he's very possibly worse than Light, and I think Light's a level 100 rat-bastard.
Near seems to be fine, though. We didn't get as much of a view of his personality, but hopefully he inherited more of L's noble sense of justice.
So it's like Neah is L's extreme, Mero is Light's extreme?
Maybe I wanted some twist for thinking Mero's a good guy. I like surprises 
So I thought if Mero's deceiving everyone around him, that'd be cool. And the only person who knows the truth is Neah. So in a way, Mero's helping Neah retrieve both Death Notes so that this case would be solved.
True, Mero didn't care when the director died, he might be somewhat evil, but Mero helping Neah is possible, right?
L's death seem to be real now, but deep in my mind still remains a little corner of denial. I don't know, it looks like a plot mistake to me (apart from I liked L so much) that if nothing is done to it by the end of the series, I would be disappointed.
Moving on… Mello, stay away from hottie!Sayu!! I'm sure I'm not the only one creeped out by Mello. He's not like L at all when it comes to innocent victims, and Mello vs Light can be a very deadly affair for everyone around them. It's difficult to see him turned into the good guy of the series. Neah is more of an L-clone, which opens the possibility of repetitiveness unless Ooba introduces new surprises to the story.
I wonder how Light and Misa could have lasted so long. O_O Light's a purely unfeeling bastard, he is.
One Piece is boring.
Only because it's boring to say every week, "This is awesome. Oda is a Genius.".

Well, despite the opinions of yaoi fangirls I don't think Light is gay, so I don't think even he can resist a supermodel willing to do anything for him.

It is still unexplained by modern science!!"_

This is Light we're talking about. He shows know love or desire for anything outside of being a bastard. I generally suspect the reason they've lasted is because Light still finds her useful and she's too dumb to care about anything else.
I've stopped reading Death Note, sorry to say. Light is just such an evil bastard, and he's the main character. Far too disturbing for me, sorry.
Just tell me when he dies. Cause he WILL die.
Uh… Then what's the use in posting here?
Anyway, that's actually just what I love about Death Note. The main character is the ''bad guy'' so to speak, and it provides really fascinating storytelling. Because even though I don't agree with Light's motives in the slightest, I still find myself actually rooting the guy on for some reason.
Though, that situation has slightly changed, since the gloominess and negativity that is Kira's judgement is really more empathized now that L is dead. Before it was just Light trying to win. I don't think I ever expected this to happen.
And yeah, I'm in denial too. It just feel so unnatural and empty now that L is supposedly dead. It was too sudden and anticlimactic for my senses. I already miss the guy.... Neah looks cool and all, but he's no Ryuuzaki. And I refuse to believe L didn't have something up his sleeve all that time.
This chapter really builds things up in a fascinating way, though. First I thought Neah and Mero were on the same road together, seeing them getting summoned by Roger while still completely shrouded in mystery. Now Mero turns out to be a twisted sicko, much different from L or Light, while Neah got the good guy role. It makes me really anxious to know where they came from and how all of this came to be, and how Roger is connected to them and L, and L to them consequently. This chapter leaves a whole lot of questions.
As of now, I find Mero much more of an interesting character than Neah. I'm actually rooting for Neah here, and I want him to be the one who succeeds, especially seeing as how he's supposed to be L's successor. However, he seems just a tad too two-dimensional right now.
I'm anxious for the next chapter, but I'm also anxious for some sort of revelation.
iiii great. must find some time to read it.
wow, it was really incredible!
thanks ocean, you're great, as always, for all the stuff you bring to us, coz' death note without a trad is of no use
Some people specurates that L will be back… Alive. Agree, he was too nice of guy just to die like that...
By the way, I spelt Mero, Neah, and Jon's name wrong without knowing it was officially announced to be Mello and Near. Jon was on the scan, on his signature, I can read it as John. Argh.
I still love my spelling better though. Near looks just weird.
Agreed. Neah's cooler. But if it's official… I ... I have no choice... I must obey the masses... Buy... products...
... Anyway, I'm still confused about Mello (That's a dog's name!) and Near's relationship. They still seem to be completely unaware of each other, while I was under the impression they were (At least one time) in the same boath.
Heck, they're ''M'' and ''N'', aren't they? I doubt this twisted bad guy role was intended for Mello by whoever constitute as the ''higher-ups'' in L's little world.
Ah well, best not to ask too much questions is what I learned from Death Note.

Yeah, but you gotta admit…so does "Light". Ooba can write a hell of a manga, but she needs to learn at least a little bit about western names, methinks.
What a nice chapter, I'm in love with the series again. Mello's really good addition but I can't say much of Near yet. And since I'm usually more fond of less convenient characters I doubt I find Near as interesting but who knows. And yeah, Sayu's hot.

Just tell me when he dies. Cause he WILL die.Light is the fuel of the series, without him being the way he is DN woudn't be as provoking and fun. I hope he won't die but create a new world B).

At least the names aren't too stereotypical. I've a hard time to imagine a Japanese boy with a name Light though.
this was a good chapter…. i;m so glad its started up again!
i bet Mello and Near were at that orphanage place where the old guy was like "L is dead'',,,, and they're obviously rivals which is cool. i think L is acutally dead and we should all just live with it.
and the guy who got kidnapped killed himself... hmm

Not much of a reason to bet on that, since we saw them there at the end of chapter 59.
I've been sitting on chapter 50 since like February. I must admit I've been sort of turned off by the corporate Kira thing. But I wanna catch up, so I'll speed read through the lastest scans today sometime.
Thank you, ocean!
It's great that Death Note has started up again, but I won't enjoy it as much without L. Misa is still in it though, which is a plus for me. (I love Misa).
