Case Closed

Can Detective Conan crack the case…while stuck in a kid’s body?

Created by Gosho Aoyama | MoreLess about Case Closed

Jimmy Kudo, the son of a world-renowned mystery writer, is a high school detective who has cracked the most baffling of cases. One day while on a date with his childhood friend Rachel Moore, Jimmy observes a pair of men in black involved in some shady business. The men capture Jimmy and give him a poisonous substance to rub out their witness. But instead of killing him, it turns him into a little kid! Jimmy takes on the pseudonym Conan Edogawa and continues to solve all the difficult cases that come his way. All the while, he’s looking for the men in black and the mysterious organization they’re with in order to find a cure for his miniature malady.

Gosho Aoyama made his debut in 1992 with Chotto Matte (Wait a Minute), which won Shogakukan’s prestigious Shinjin Comic Taisho (Newcomer’s Award for Comics) and launched his career as a critically acclaimed, top-selling manga artist. In addition to Case Closed, which won the Shogakukan Manga Award in 2001, Aoyama created the popular manga Yaiba, which won the Shogakukan Manga Award in 1992. Aoyama’s manga is greatly influenced by his boyhood love for mystery, adventure and baseball, and he has cited the tales of Arsene Lupin and Sherlock Holmes and the samurai films of Akira Kurosawa as some of his childhood favorites.

When an heiress drowns in a hotel pool, Conan and Sera are on the scene to dredge up the truth. Then a screenwriter is found dead in a scenario straight out of one of her mystery scripts. And Conan and Harley investigate a mythical beast that seems to be committing very real murders.

Meanwhile, Conan tries to learn something—anything—about Rum, the high-ranking Man in Black who’s as secretive as he is dangerous.
