Manga artist Akimine Kamijyō (Samurai Deeper Kyo, Code:Breaker) announced on Twitter earlier this month that the two-chapter manga Kobayashi Shōnen to Futei no Kaijin: Edogawa Rampo ‘D-zaka no Satsujin Jiken’ yori (Young Kobayashi and the Lawless Mystery Man: From Rampo Edogawa’s “The Case of the Murder on D. Hill”) will get a sequel.
The manga is based on renowned Japanese mystery novelist Rampo Edogawa’s 1925 short story “The Case of the Murder on D. Hill.”
Kamijyō did not specify if the sequel will be another short manga or a longer series.
In the original short story and series, the character Yoshio Kobayashi leads the Boy Detectives Club and is Akechi’s apprentice.
