Fun fact!

(she loves him just the way he is)

Here are some reaction pics because I love them so much. You can use them wherever as long as you credit me :)

It's kinda funny that Near, who was not interested in playing games with Light-Kira, acknowledges A-Kira as "extremely smart" because he's not interested in playing games with anyone and just wants the cash.

It's like a game of who could care less, and I think Near still wins 🤣

If Ohba is trying to draw parallels between L in the manga and Near in the present day, then I think it's interesting that Near's main motive for tracking down A-Kira is that he thinks they must be very smart and finds the prospect intriguing. Seemingly L's thinking went along these lines when he was tracking down the original Kira as well.

Near's round little cheeks were made to be squished 🥰 his little upturned nose was made to be booped 😍

If I were a more self-indulgent person I'd write a Near x Reader fic where you can cover him with your jacket and squish his little cheeks and play with his pretty hair while he says the cutest things like "Please remove yourself from my person"

From left to right

Traveling (flight) => formal functions he was forced to attend => chilly mornings at Wammy's => Lester convinced him to try on his son's old clothes

Decided to draw Near in some different outfits.

Y'all remember when Near says: "we could just kill Light and Mikami, seize the notebook and knowing that the killing will stop, convict them as criminals"? Cuz I do. He also follows up with "but we will not do that because that is not the victory L would be satisfied with"

But good to know we have options

Ryuzaki 3 was the truest successor, not bc his d.n.a. or anything like that but because he knew the importance of L death note having a jacket and a gun

Near sleeps with a plastic water gun under his pillow, pass it on 🔫
