Quote from ferian Even DN went downhill after Spoiler (mouse over to view) L's death.
Actually, I think that's what Mashiro was talking about in the manga a few chapters ago, when he was discussing Reversi. If I remember correctly, he said that it's difficult to have a long-running manga with a protagonist and antagonist who are complete opposites, because people are eventually going to be bored and new antagonists will have to be introduced, causing the quality of the manga to deteriorate. I'm not sure, but I think that's why decided to make this manga short, right?
Spoiler (mouse over to view) And the situation is very similar in Death Note - it was all about Kira and L, when L died the manga got much worse, the new antagonists weren't as interesting as L.
