    This is so fascinating to hear her point of view regarding her novels. While I maintain that my feelings regarding the ending was not my flavor, crossing the idea with Manga and gives a bit more perspective. I think it of I saw it in the same vein as Death Note, I'd have enjoyed it differently. 🤔
