Quite interesting to see more of everybody 3 years later. Like I wrote in Matsuda's yearbook: "Don't ever change" and he didn't xD But as a oneshot you really do miss the thrill of the hunt. Still it was nice to discover something more about the world of Death Note.

Can’t believe I didn’t know this was a thing! Haven’t picked up a manga in years but saw this today and it’s Death Note so obviously I had to read it!!

Well that was entirely unnecessary. Just when it reaches a point where the story would naturally have finally got going, it just ends? At least it wasn't very long; I'd have been ticked off if it was full-length nothing.

It was short but I liked it. It was cool to see what the aftermath of the original series might have been. I also liked how we got to learn more about Near. Though I feel the ending was abrupt, and Ohba could've added a bit more to it.

ending was boring, i actually loved the concept of a kira who kills people who want to be killed! they could've turned this into a spinoff series if they wanted to

I agree to the other reviews; the ending was abrupt. But, if the true reason why Near decided not to pursue C-Kira case is because that was the way he was actually solving it, then I'm in awe.
Think about it - the reason whole Death Note plot happened was because of a bored Shinigami who thought giving his death note to a human and watching the mess that would create would be fun. And the reason it all became so engaging for Ryuk was L's and Light's rivalry and the way they tried to surpass the other.
Knowing or rather deducing that, Near decides not to try and find C-Kira, so that the Shinigami will become bored of it eventually and take his death note back. Thus, solving the problem.
Like, if that's the real reason behind Near's passivity, and not the "L wouldn't take on the case he's not interested in, so I shall not either", then I love this One-Shot.
