This year's 15th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine revealed on Monday that the magazine's next issue will publish a new one-shot manga titled "Kimi to Aoi Yoru no" (A Blue Night With You), which will include an interactive "murder mystery" element. The manga places readers as a participant in the mystery, and will ask users to access a site, which will allow them to act within the story themselves.
The manga's story centers on four classmates who gather at a school at night to figure out the disappearance of a mysterious girl in the school, three weeks after the disappearance happened.
Shiro Usazaki, the former artist for the manga act-age, is drawing the manga. Saori Kida, a well-known designer of escape games, is writing the one-shot manga. Muneaki Takaoka designed the storyboards for the manga. Kizuki Shinoda is the designer of the game segment of the manga.
