Death Note Manga to Return with One-Shot Story in Japan

This year's 11th issue (on sale on February 9) of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine will publish a special standalone short story for Tsugumi Ooba and Takeshi Obata's Death Note manga in Japan. The announcement was made in the current issue of Weekly Shonen Jump, which was released on Monday. The 44-page story with color insert will describe an event after the end of the original series — specifically, the case of a new Kira. The return of the Death Note manga will mark the February 9 opening of L change the WorLd, the spinoff based on the two Death Note live-action films. The original run of the manga lasted from December of 2003 to May of 2006 in Japan, and Viz Media has released all twelve volumes in North America.
