In addition to the 2006 television anime adaptation and tie-in specials, Death Note also received a Japanese live-action film adaptation in 2006, with a sequel titled Death Note: The Last Name, and a spinoff titled L change the WorLd in 2008.
Writer and translator Jonathan Clements revealed last week that German publisher Lübbe is adapting the Death Note anime into a 12-hour audio drama.
The drama is based specifically on the anime adaptation of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata’s manga, and not the manga itself.
A new film titled Death Note: Light up the NEW world, described as a “forbidden sequel” to the first live-action film, opened in Japan on October 29.
