However, after long and careful deliberation, Minoru proposes a counter-offer: he will decline the Death Note for now, but should Ryuk return in two years, Minoru will surely grant his wish. In 2019, Ryuk returns to Minoru, who gladly accepts the notebook and sets his scheme in motion. The Japanese police, the mysterious detective L, and the entire world soon come to witness Minoru's meticulous plan: one that makes unprecedented use of the Death Note's devastating powers. **Death Note ni Rakugaki 4-koma (DEATH NOTEにラクガキ4コマ, Death Note Four-Panel Comics); Akamaru Jump 2004 Spring~2005 Spring, Shounen Jump Gag Special 2005—included in the chapter count as 1 chapter.** **L: Day One (L―One Day); L File No. 15 (2008/01/25)** To the wider world, L is a renowned detective, famed for his high success rate and genius intellect.
