A quick and enjoyable read. I can't believe it's only been a year of Jimmy being Conan.

The case with the judo champion was fine but the real star of this volume was when a certain teen detective made an appearance. I normally don’t like the amnesia trope but the mangaka pulled it off in a way that had me completely glued to the page.

Conan kembali berubah menjadi Kudo atas obat yang dibuat Ai.
Berarti gampang dong ya klo sewaktu-waktu pengen jadi Kudo, tinggal minum obat hasil racikan Ai.

lighthearted mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

Caso Una Puñalada Siempre Es Mejor Que Una Buena Patada: olvidable cuando menos. Tiene su punto interesante, pero es estándar hasta el hartazgo.

Caso Aseshinichi Kudo: es más interesante por su concepto que por su ejecución. Si esta serie de verdad fuera así todo el tiempo, sería increíble. Todos los añadidos de Aoyama a la narrativa del caso mejoran el conjunto. Por lo demás, es lo típico y el asesino llega a extremos exagerados.

When I read the first 4-5 chapters I was like, this is it. This volume can't get more than 2 stars from me, so boring so far and we won't see the Organization until 20 or so chapters later. So imagine my reaction when I saw Shinichi!!! Great mystery! Loved it! Too bad the start wasn't strong or it would have been 5 stars for sure.

It’s time for yet another volume of the manga series about a teen genius detective trapped in the body of a child!

We open with the conclusion of a case where Cafe Poirot’s waitress Azusa has vanished after her brother was accused of killing his boss with a rifle. Except not by shooting his boss, but by bludgeoning. Japanese firearm laws are strict!

Then a judo expert friend of Eri Kisaki (dub name Eva Kadan, Ran/Rachel’s mother) requests help dealing with her husband’s stalker. She’s not convinced the stalker is real until the husband turns up dead. Eri’s estranged husband Kogoro Mouri (Richard Moore) helps out from a distance…in his own special way.

Then there’s a long case where the Moore family and Osaka detective Heiji Hattori (Harley Hartwell) head to a remote village near a lake where it’s said a shinigami (death spirit) lurks. Conan goes missing, but Shinichi Kudo (Jimmy Kudo) turns up with amnesia. Without his memory, Shinichi seems like a different person; but is he also a murderer now?

That resolved, Shinichi/Conan is in his grown-up form for a while, and is about to have a serious talk with Ran, but murder intervenes!

The shinigami case is an emotional one, involving what looks like one of Shinichi’s few failures, which he might be resorting to murder to cover up. It’s a good story, but there’s no overall plot advancement in this volume, so can be skipped if you are just here for the myth arc.
