This year's May issue of Square Enix's Monthly Shonen Gangan magazine began serialization on a Final Fantasy Type-0 spinoff manga titled Final Fantasy Type-0 Gaiden: Hyōken no Shinigami . Takatoshi Shiozawa ( Full Moon ) is drawing the manga with editorial supervision by Tetsuya Nomura. The manga will center on the character Kurasame. Shonen Gangan's official website is currently hosting a preview of the manga. The website is also currently hosting four wallpapers from both the Final Fantasy Type-0 manga and the Final Fantasy Type-0 Gaiden: Hyōken no Shinigami spinoff manga.

Shiozawa previously launched a manga adaptation of the Final Fantasy Type-0 game in last year's December issue of Monthly Shonen Gangan . Square Enix originally released the original role-playing game on the PlayStation Portable console in Japan on October 27. An English version of the game has not yet been announced.
