I'll be storytiming the manga, one complete case per day. Most cases are around 3-6 chapters long. Feel free to drop in at any time, since it's mostly episodic.Case 19: Soccer Player's Brother Kidnapping Previous case:>>281954549
File 68: Jimmy's Girlfriend!
not jimmy...
File 69: The Great Detective Rachel!?
>>281983504Ranbros...
File 70: Running Out of Time
Now this fuck up is inexcusable.
Finally, the one I was waiting for.
File 71: Found at Last!!
Done. Ran is scarier than any criminal, really.There is always only one truth! See you tomorrow!
>>281984289Is Columbo that well known in Japan?
Just wanted to tell >>281971117 that I got it. He could trust Conan as far as he could throw him. I chuckled.
>>281984769Enough for an animated commercial using his likeness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs-Ue4pvbMM
>>281983475Oh shit, what a pickle!
>>281983561Lotta Tsun on this Dere.
>>281984769I don't think it's so much about what's well known, but if you're a mystery writer it pays to brush up on the genre, so even if it's something that might not be huge in your country you'll seek out everything. I'm sure Aoyama was watching Castle and Bones just to get inspired.
>>281984769>>281985014There was also a Lupin III character that was the son of Columbo.https://lupin.fandom.com/wiki/Bolonco

>>281983953
>>281983968
>>281984718Thanks op this was a classic! Jealous ran is the best
>>281984038>game came out yesterday>that fat piece of shit already finished itMaybe he's smarter than I gave him credit for
>>281984303I used to buy the viz releases but volume 8 always eluded me for some reason. This was when I bought everything brick and mortar of course so it never occurred to me to just order it online.
>>281988057And now you read it illegally on 4chan
>>281983475https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oev2jWNuzXM
Gin? Scared shitless of CHADgorou.
>>281983761This gadget never appears again after this case, right?
>>281990061>gadget>literally a store-bought fax machine inside a lunchbox
>>281984038Oh wow, I never realized that's a Yaiba reference.
>>281983475Two timing asshole.
>>281983420For once Genta's violence is understandable and reasonableAlso I guess Conan is socializing well with his 6 year old peers now
>>281983475COULDN'T BE JIMMYNOT OUR PRECIOUS JIMMY
>>281983761Agasas best invention yet.
>>281983520Goddamn Kogoro
>>281983659I wish I was Jimmy
>>281983761I remember this case just for the lunchbox
>>281983797Shinichi always looks good
>>281983815LolI love when he messes up
>>281983932>>281987471Nice colors. I guess the Viz localization is a bit better too.
>>281983475By the way, in case you're not aware, there's a fan-translated scanlation of all volumes. The image quality is a bit lower, but when I was reading Conan for the first time, these English names made me cringe so hard that I had to track down the fan translation.
>>281984019I guess Ran is too angry to have the common sense of noticing the odd room
>>281984054Come on Viz...
>>28198423410/10 WIS and bluff roll by Conan here. Best trick
>>281984303Great case coming up next huh>>281984419Very supportive teammates>>281984516>the killer must be a man, a woman couldn't move a body by herself!
>>281984566Lots of work on that crowd. Assistants doing overtime
>>281984597Kinda of understandable honestly>>281984625;_;>>281984686ICONIC
>>281994780Ran is fueled by pure murderous energy, that usually runs out after the murder is actually committed and one needs a clear head to get rid of the body.The final victim of the series will be Jimmy/Shinichi himself, for all the pain he put her through.
>>281983847The face of a woman on the brink of insanity.
>>281984038I just realized that they redrew the entire note here. This definitely didn't work in English, because the English one makes Conan look kinda stupid, not instantly recognizing that a piece was torn from it. The original looks more believable.
>>281989765INCREDIBLY based
>>281984247Jeez she's annoying...
>>281983968Ran lewdly imagining two people naked. She's so horny she grows one.
>>281984516did she pay for the damages?
>>281994962Not taking the guy to the cops is payment enough
Dumb musclehead
>>281984174FIST OF THE WILD RHINO
I can understand Ran being so pissed, the new girl kinda mogs her.
>>281984289Columbo recently had a pretty big surge in popularity here in the west - enough that inspired two copycat series (that I know of), Poker Face and Elsbeth. Poker Face is clearly the blockbuster of the two, but I have to say Rian Johnson is exactly the sort of director you don't want trying to copy Columbo. He can't help himself, he's very masturbatory, and Columbo isn't a masturbatory series. Columbo is very sincere detective fiction. Johnson just loves his references and his stylish direction and his subversions and weird gimmicks. And most of all, he loves to shit on lower class people. He LOVES to write cases where two pieces of trailer trash try and kill each other. He's the type of guy who punches down, always. The exact opposite of Columbo, who always deals with rich, white collar criminals. That's the entire appeal, of course, the contrast between the bedraggled detective and the preening killer. Johnson can't write that kind of story, he'd always make fun of the both of them.
>>281984289>>281995286Columbo is so cool. I should get into it
>>281983405I missed yesterday's thread, but>>281955906Black guy count: 2
>>281984516damn magic skirt
>>281983533>Jimmy, if you don't reload your Chekhov Gun, you'll->BEEEEEP
>>281995286>And most of all, he loves to shit on lower class people. He LOVES to write cases where two pieces of trailer trash try and kill each other. He's the type of guy who punches down, always.

Johnson can't write that kind of story, he'd always make fun of the both of them.Having only seen the Knives Out movies (and Last Jedi) that was not my read on the guy, especially when it comes to murder mysteries.
>>281996638It's the read you're forced to get after watching two seasons of Poker Face. "Masturbatory" is exactly how I'd describe Knives Out, though, I didn't find either movie particularly good. And I genuinely think that in both cases, the rich are treated better than the poor by the narrative.
>>281983659Woah, are they naked? Kinda racy!
>>281983761Haha, that's a great time capsule. It's a bit boring how smartphones have just made spy gadgets like this irrelevant.
>>281983847>smug Ran
>>281997375Cucked yet smugged
>>281983902>>281983914>when you're so good that you can't help but win
>>281997350Yes, but in case you are searched, no one would suspect the bento box, with the nice aroma of real food coming from it.
>>281997500Maybe I need to put Blue Archive in my trusty Bento box to pass the UK customs
>>281997527Nice try, but you are not allowed to bring in food that isn't in original sealed packaging with declaration when entering the country. It would be either confiscated, or you'd be forced to throw it into trash right then and there.
>>281997567He just needs to get one of those fancy packagers then
>>281994633Did you just recently start following the storytime?
>>281995056Ran isn't a rhino, she's a unicorn.
>>281983490homewrecker!
since Amuro is popular which option will cause the most chaos for his ending>die>end up with an unknown woman >end up with Asuza>end up with other named female charactersI think Gosho is too pussy to pull any of this shit off anyway though
>>281983520>>281983549I fucking love kogoro
>>281999669Death would definitely cause the biggest backlash, followed by something like ending up with Shiho as replacement for Elena, his first crush.Him ending up with Azusa is softly implied, so people are kind of bracing themselves for it.There is really no other single woman in his life, except Vermouth, who is a criminal and probably old enough to be his grandma.
I want to have sex with Azusa Enomoto
>>281984769Japan was INTO detective and crime thrillers back in the daysthey even hired the whole Twin Peaks cast for coffee commercialshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Meg7ojUwZwospeaking of, do we have Gosho talking about Dale Cooper in one of these thing? >>281984289
>>281999669>>282000269>Azusahow's that gonna work? whole thing is a lie but characters in this series are comfortable with lying. will shinichi ever reveal conan situation to ran or he will keep lying?
I haven't seen the Sera poster in years.
>>281983520>>281983549Most parents>Jimmy cheated on my daughter? I'm going to kill him!!Kogoro>Hahaha Ran you are being cucked
>>282001460No.But we have him talking about Maomao, Professor Layton and Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock.https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Detective_Picture_Book
>>281984701...how did he pull that walking-away-silhouette off?
>>282002697>two cats on the listI guess Gosho is a cat person
>>281994633Every single thread a multitude complain about it. I know because I am very vocal about it.
>>281983761Bruh, I have no memory of this gadget.
>>282004289Probably because it was used only this one time.
>>282002697His MaoMao is cute as hell.
>>281983446Cute
Why is Shinichi so loyal to this horned girl? He's surrounded by so many superior cuties, especially later in the series
>>282006055Ran is the brawn to his brains, no one looks so good while kicking doors down.
>>282006055Yes I'd 100% ditch Ran for that blonde cutie but I'm guessing she wasn't into him in the first place it was all for the brother
>>281993952>>282000093>>281983520>>282002682Posting Kogoro's reaction to this in French because that's one of his best voices https://streamable.com/mb807d
>>282002697You can really tell there's been a Japanese nationalistic push lately.
>>282007217I think he's just ran out of "real" options.You can see a lot more games and manga and the like that are sometimes stretching the definition a bit.Obviously it'll also lead to more local stuff, having to pull them out of nowhere.
Thanks for the last thread storytime, going to work my way through this one too
>>281994780We need to remember that each time Ran does something like this
Could Jimmy catch Kira?
>>282000832Calm down, Amuro.
>>282007755I can think of fairly well-known fictional detectives he hasn't featured yet. Lord Peter Wimsey, for one.
>>282012540Need to keep in mind accessibility for Japs.I'm not sure if Gosho can read English well enough, his age group would give a decent chance for a no at least, then they need to be released in Japanese first.
>>282012367Quite easily
Almost Night Baron time, lads
>>281984639Jimmyyyyyyy>>282005089Cute cat, Kusuriya ugly manga is published in Sunday GX actually.
>>282013011Hype
>>282012616The Wimsey books are translated, though. I imagine most of what's relevant from the Golden Age has been. It's more likely Gosho has gotten sick of reading and watching detective fiction and picks detective-like characters from other stories he enjoys.
>>282002697I kind of regret checking through this because I loved the little surprise at the end of the volume in the threads to see who it'd be. Columbo was a nice one I wasn't expecting. Still though, tons of characters out there, and I'm genuinely curious about many of the japanese ones. The only one I knew of before this was the one in Bungo Stray Dogs, and I realize now he's the inspiration for this series with him being Edogawa. Are translations of the Japanese authors any good? I'm not sure how prose is handled when translating to English.
Case 20: Night Baron Murder File 72: The Night Baron
>>282014880Anon, the name Edogawa comes from Edogawa Ranpo, a famous author. It's pseudonym that was based on Edgar Allen Poe.
>>282015091Agasa is a bro
>>282015152Such a good case. Memories flooding back
>>282015278Can you actually feel hostile gaze?
File 73: The Virus of Terror
>>282015297Kogoro actually getting into the game... nice
>>282015351Spooky
>>282015392Unlikely to be more than myth, but you can notice it in the corner of your eye without seeing the actual details I suppose
>>282015662Awe shi
File 74: Under the Mask
File 75: Rachel's Tears
>>282015392Don't underestimate the human senses.
File 76: The Wind's Mischief!?
File 77: The Secret of the Landing Spot
>>282016858lmao
Done. Rather abrupt ending. Also, do people really name gusts of wind?There is always only one truth! See you tomorrow!
>>282015073Good that Aoyama remembers his principal audience.
>>282007201I prefer el gran carlos guzman
>>282015137What is this...Internet you speak of?
>>282015351>>282015373Conan's dad is back to prank him!
>>282015373can't believe Conan is fucking dead, i guess Richard is going to be the new protagonist now
>>282016161Oh, that makes it really obvious who's behind the mask in this case.
>>282016710>repeated dialogueThank you Viz
>>282017065Don't wait too long, she's not coming back.
>>282017106based 90s ojisan making eroge
>>282015500>>282015524Damn
>>282015621for a second I thought Akiko had said "you cheating slut!" which would've been amusing
>>282015726Wow, case is over already!
>>282015974feels a little too convenient, honestly
>>281984480>>281984516Pretty good paneling and composition.
>>282016494good old over the shoulder shifty eyes
>>282016547>and if you pull even more... the tape comes off... and the evidence is gonehow creative, what a one of a kind trick!Personally I've never been particularly fond of these kinds of gimmick twists. I'd have to reread some Holmes to really compare, but I just don't like these particularly out there set ups even if, as described, they seem simple. Not that Holmes didn't have its share of stupid reveals. A fucking pygmy assassin?
>>282016612Wait so the bartender saw this and was just going to let it go? What?
>>282015392Conan got mind-broken so bad by Kid he could actually sense him in disguise by Volume 30.
>>282016888Trips, but old a not great head turning panel. Both positions have equal line weight, making it look like he has two heads. Don't even have any action lines.
>>282018311I mean, it's only been a few months. Why would she be back yet?
>>282017106>Also, do people really name gusts of windUsed to be pretty common. Back when the direction and regularity of the wind was very important for human trade, movement, or even just living conditions, you'd name that shit something memorable too. We even still use "zephyr," even if it's non-specific now.
>>282019293He just thought Kogoro was getting lucky that night
>>282019785How scandalous, that man is married
>>281983446>mr moore
>>282019410This was premeditated murder, she's getting hung.
>>282017345The beginning of the end
>>282020659They only execute criminals in the case of aggravated murder. She didn't torture him or poison the water supply while she killed him, and he was her only victim. Capital punishment isn't on the table for her, but she should practice looking remorseful if she doesn't want to get life in prison.
>>282015106I like cute Ran, but beach hottie Ran is good too.
>>282015524>Ran's mom left her:(
>>282015392There is a theory that rage change the body pheromones, also many people let it show in the body. So it's like the brain processing that there is danger but can't pinpoint why.
>>282016161>>282017775Yeah, what a shame because it was a interesting case.
>>282021836They still meet for lunches and such, but as a highly successful lawyer she'd be hardly present at home, so it would feel the same even if she stayed. And someone needs to keep Kogoro in check, nothing cures drunken stupidity like punches from a person used to karate smashing boards.
>>282015392peripheral vision of danger probably
>>282015190I will date the strangely successful adult woman.
>>282015637She is HALF YOUR AGE, dude.
>>282015898That fountain pen could fucking kill someone if it fell off that balcony onto the crowd below.
>>282020659I misread the post and thought it was a comment about her never showing up against over the next thousand chapters, and made a crack about how she wouldn't out after "only" a few months, which is how long they say it's actually been in story since it started.
>>282023871>persona 5 protag responding to his teacher's worry about her age
>>282024156oops, fucked up my joke quote >>282024028
>>282015106sex sex sex>>282017106Thanks OP.
>>282017013It couldn't have been her, we established two cases ago that women are too weak to manipulate bodies
>>282015106Her boobs are almost as pointy as her horn.
>>282025370Ran's body is really made to kill.
>>282016015Hideko seems like the obvious killer, so I'm thinking it's not her.
>>282024114i highly doubt that
>>282015488Jimmy just casually lying to Rachel even when it's not for his stupid cover. He does not even seem to register it as a bad thing he is doing...
>>282026099I think the worse part is that she just brushed off a child evading death by pure chance like he just told her he tripped in the room and broke the lamp.
>>282015524Huh, the pervert wasn't being perverted, a clue. Are they related perhaps?
>>282015686>Go! Go!Shinichi is funny
>>282015726Gruesome

>>281983587That doesn't give you monopoly on his virginity, Rachel.
>>281983612>Jimmy left his ball at another woman's houseWhat a slut!
>>282026508They already went to New York together and also every week goes on dates. They're basically dating it's just that Shinichi is a pussy ass faggot and never confessed until the London case (and even then in not so clear wording like the pussy he is)
>>282015726Haha, OK Conan's dad, you got us! Now tell us how you did this trick.
>>281983836>>281983847The two brain cells in Rachel's head working overtime.

>>281984639https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMk-HPBF6Mw
>>282016471This page must've really fueled the Agasa=Black Organization Boss theories back in the day. I forget, didn't Gosho admit that was his plan in the beginning? If so, this was legit foreshadowing at the time.
>>282015106>People liked the previous case girl over Rachel?>Time to course correct!
>>282026136I think he implied he slipped while running around near the pool not on the balcony
>>282015137This Internet thing sounds like a fad.
>>282026508The blonde cutie should NTR Ran asap
>>282015169He's shagging his servant, isn't he?

>>282016407Even more tiny Conan!
>>282027233You were supposed to start from chapter 1, anon.
>>282027233I think the high school Chad being shrunk makes it a lot more interesting because he's not into kid stuff which makes for comedic moments but when he indulges in it it's cute
>>282017050Okay, but how did she know that the body would land directly on the statue and get impaled?
>>282017065>I'll wait for you until you come back.Japan has the death penalty, my guy.She's not coming back.
>>282027371She didn't, that was coincidence.
>>282017065His "I can fix her" syndrome activated in an instant!
>>282027371She just wanted him down, the place of landing didn't matter. That he got impaled on the statue was for the sake of making it look more interesting to the reader.

>>282015137do the other scientist and his granddaughter ever show up again? it's a bit weird to introduce a design for a character whose only purpose is to be absent. Although I guess it could be for the sake of making him a potential suspect in this whole case

I've started the anime and 26 episodes in it seems like a lot of crime in general and particularly murders occur around them, I mean it's one thing that they solve murders but to be present for a murder is something most people won't experience even once in a low crime rate country like Japan.So I'm just saying being turned into a child is not the only thing Shinichi is cursed with.
>>282016588good old dial-up internet
>>282015797Jeezus, imagine being a paramedic or forensic and then some little boy just waltzing in and touching a dead body.
>>282027244I believe it's a thing about nippon work culture, like they would do anything but fire an employee, even give him a position with no meaningful tasks hoping he just resigns out of shameru.
>>282015990https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbHvogpfwro
>>282017050I can fix her
>>282017089love how every suspect had some kind of secret they were keeping, even if it was just unimportant nonsense like the old guy pretending to be blind. This case had a lot of moving parts, lots of fun stuff to get engaged in.
>>282028520Didn't care about the case. Solves it anyway.
>>282028457I don't recall the scientist guy ever showing up again. He probably got a design so there is more to see than just Agasa, not giving him an appearance or even making him a silhouette would have actually made him more suspicious than this.
