Gamasutra's most recent round-up has a tiny blurb and tiny picture about the upcoming Death Jr. manga:

Foundation 9's Backbone Entertainment announced that it is collaborating with Seven Seas Entertainment to produce an original manga based on the Death, Jr. video game franchise. Death, Jr. began as a PSP game and original comic book series, and will soon see a PSP sequel titled Death, Jr. 2: Root of Evil, a new game for the Nintendo DS called Death, Jr. and the Science Fair of Doom, as well as a second comic book series, and an assortment of other collectible merchandise. The new manga, which focuses on Death, Jr. and his girlfriend Pandora, is scheduled to ship in 2007.

I was unable to find anything else about it from either company's websites. If I put my nose on the monitor and squint, that artwork looks real neat! No word on artists or writers ye, but Ted Naifeh did the last set of Death Jr. comics and he's one of my favorites. So hopefully this'll be neat. Eliza gauger
