What is “Case Closed!”?
“Meitantei Conan†or “Detective Conan†(“Case Closed†in the U.S.) has been one of the longest running manga and anime series in Japan.
Written and illustrated by Gosho Aoyama and featured in Weekly Shonen Sunday since 1994, a total of 82 volumes have been released in Japan.the anime series which started back in 1996 is well-nearing 750-episodes and 14 movies have been released in Japan.
For those not familiar with “Case Closedâ€, the TV series focuses on a popular high school detective named Jimmy Kudo (Shinichi Kudo). One day while going to an amusement park with his friend Rachel Moore (Ran Mohri), Jimmy saw two men, one man from the Black Organization suspiciously dealing something in the dark.
Unbeknownst to Jimmy, a man behind him had spotted him and hit him with a bat and forced him to ingest a poison capsule. Jimmy survived but the capsule somehow shrunk him to a child. If these thugs found out that Jimmy is still alive, they may hurt the people around him. So, his good friend Dr. Agasa (who helps Jimmy by building him gadgets which include a stun-gun wrist watch, voice changing bow-tie, solar powered skateboard and powerful shoes) suggested he wear a disguise. When Ran began asking who his name was, Jimmy replied Conan Edogawa.
So, in order to find out who the men are, he wound up living with Ran and her detective father, Richard Moore (Kogoro Mori). Only five people know Conan’s true identity: Dr. Agasa, both of Jimmy’s parents, Harley Hartwell (Hattori Heiji), popular detective from the high school in the west and Vye Graythorn (Shiho Miyano), a former member of the Black Organization who betrays the criminal group after the member Gin kills her older sister.
Together with some friends, Jimmy as Conan continues to take down criminals with his detective skills.
He’s the amazing boy detective….Conan Edogawa, the shrunken version of famous teenage detective, Shinichi (Jimmy in the U.S.) Kudo.
Wanting to find a way to get back to his original size thanks to the Black Organization, for now, Shinichi must use his superior detective skills to help investigators as Conan Edogawa.
But trying make sure that no one suspects him of being anyone else.
And for 20-years, the adventures of Conan Edogawa in “Cased Closed!” (Meitantei Conan) have entertained readers and viewers in many cases which showcase him utilizing his fantastic investigative skills but doing all he can to make sure that his team or the investigators help solve the case, not to give away his true identity.
For those wanting to enjoy Gosho Aoyama’s popular manga series “Case Closed!”, the good news is that aside from the first volume (which introduces the primary characters), anyone can pick up the series and begin reading at any volume because each graphic novel features an independent storyline.
For the 65th volume of “Case Closed!”, Conan and detectives are busy with a number of cases. One case involves a big theft to take place at a bank, but even with tight security, how good is the Kaito Kid in being able to steal from a safe?
The second case involves Ms. Jodie who spots her former love/partner Shu Akai, thought to be dead. When she chases him down, they end up in a bank where a bank heist is in progress. But why doesn’t he recognize her? Also, caught up in the bank heist are Jimmy and friends.
The third case revolves around Doc and Anita who are picked up by two individuals who seem to be shady. Are they part of the Men in Black? And when they overhear one of them talking about a massacre and doing something bad to Jimmy, can they warn him in time? And who are these two mysterious individuals?
As always, Gosho Aoyama’s work is amazing with his unique character design but it’s the story telling and the thought process that goes into solving each case, is what has made the series a fan favorite for 20-years.
Overall, “Case Closed!” volume 65 is another entertaining mystery volume featuring four cases as Conan Edogawa/Jimmy Kudo and the Junior Detective League and investigators must try to solve. A fun and entertaining detective series worth reading but for those who expect some sort of finality, don’t expect “Case Closed!” to end anytime soon.
