"Light thinks he's put an end to his troubles with the FBI--by using the Death Note to kill off the FBI agents working the case in Japan! But one of the agents has a fiancée who used to work in the Bureau, and now she's uncovered information that could lead to Light's capture. To make matters worse, L has emerged from the shadows to work directly with the task force headed by Light's father. With people pursuing him from every direction, will Light...

L asks Light, though he is still under suspicion, to join the taskforce and help locate the second Kira. Light agrees so he can access the taskforce resources, but when he finally meets the new Kira, she's not at all what he expects.

Light tests the boundaries of the Death Note's powers as L and the police begin to close in. Luckily Light's father is the head of the Japanese National Police Agency and leaves vital information about the case lying around the house. With access to his father's files, Light can keep one step ahead of the authorities. But who is the strange man following him, and how can Light guard against enemies whose names he doesn't know?

With Nanamine's manga struggling, he proposes a challenge to Moritaka and Akito.

Akito and Moritaka have completed their new story "Reversi," and hope it leads to an anime, but standing in their way is Eiji and his story.

As the veteran manga artists start to gain power in the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, the younger artists start to feel the pressure.

After being told their manga will not become an anime, Akito and Moritaka enlist in a contest to see who can create the best romance story.

A guide to the manga series "Death Note" provides character profiles, interviews with the author and artist, plotlines, commentary on the design process, trivia, and a series of side stories not published in the original series.

Working on their new manga, Moritaka works on designing the characters and Akito devises the perfect names.
