Detective Conan
There's tonnes of volumes (alright, to be fair, probably no more than a 100) and every volume is about 2.5 stories on average, meaning that each book contains about 2 full stories and one half a story. Most of the time.
Something that bothers me is the English version of the title - 'Case Closed'... I wonder why they couldn't just retain 'Detective Conan', and if anyone else is bothered by this? Hmm.
Alternative title: Detective Conan, Detektiv Conan (German), Mästerdetektiven Conan (Swedish), Meitantei Conan (Japanese), 名探偵コナン (Japanese), 명탐정 코난 (Korean), Case Closed (English)
Genres: Action, adventure, comedy, mystery
Age rating: Teenagers (may contain bloody violence, bad language, nudity)
Plot Summary: High school detective Kudo Shinichi is infamously known to the people of Japan as "The Modern Sherlock Holmes." Yet things will changed as he is drugged by two mysterious men in black and found himself shruken to the size of a kid. Hiding his real name, Shinichi now lives with his childhood sweetheart Mouri Ran under the name of Edogawa Conan and hoping to find some clues about the men in black through clients and cases of Ran's father--a pathetic second-class detective who quickly became well-known through secretive helps from Conan.

Hey, glad u r back! I have an acquaintance who read Case Closed.And he seems so engrossed reading it. I guess it is that good huh?
ReplyDeleteI watch the anime and I think the idea and concept are totally ingenious! Brilliant! However, i detest the idea that conan has to 'disguise' himself when he explains the findings to the people.
Oh, there's nudity in this? LOL...never realised it, since I read the Malay scanlations (and it might've been blurred or covered up).
ReplyDeleteAll in all...Conan has its own style in a detective story. Kindaichi series were longer for a case, and the new Neuro is a bit unrealistic + unlogical. Conan is a detective story with perfect balance of fiction and reality.!
@kikuri-sen.
ReplyDeleteit IS that good! ^_^
i've never seen the anime, but i've watched an episode of a dorama on it. oguri shun (hana kimi, hana yori dango, gokusen...) becomes the 'adult' conan (hottttnesss~~~ XD) so yeah, that's a definite plus point.
i love how it makes me really think critically about issues more. hehe :)
@dans.
lol, got la! tapi mild la i guess. or like you said, censored in m'sia, lol.
it is a perfect balance isnt it? :)
