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 72: School Play Murder Previous case:>>283292184
File 255: A Sudden Intruder
File 256: Covering the Truth
>>283320679cute JKs
Genius plan.
File 257: A Daring Return
>>283320936RE-ENTER
>>283320592>Audience memberAre they professionals?
Done. And thus ends the Child arc. Stay tuned tomorrow for the epilogue, and I hope you're ready to have Shinichi back permanently. There is always only one truth! See you tomorrow!
>>283320519I love Ai.
>>283320936>>283321011ENTER I love how melodramatic he always is as Shinichi.
>>283320504>>283320519love how she genuinely cares about agasa even though in the beginning she only squatted at his place by circumstance
>>283320568Sonoko likes her men like her coffee
>>283320679oh shit it's Kaito Kid
>>283320802Ran seems to buy the performance but Kazuha is not even fooled for a second. Just goes to show which of the two knows her boyfriend better
>>283320492>So called BOAlso, I like how this does play with you knowing that Vermouth WAS there.
>>283320890is this the only time heiji interacts with Ai?
>>283321164amoral Ai does things to me, holy shit
Why did Heiji disguised as Kudo?
>>283320802Are Shinichi and Heiji supposed to look so similar in universe that he thinks he can pull this trick?
>>283320948Can you blame Ran for being fooled?
>>283320475Ais outrageous breasts
>>283322047To try and bail out Conan
>>283321038That was in an episode of Monk once too
>>283320468Fire cover, I bet the case is a banger
>>283320936I wonder if anyone managed to see this coming? I was completely floored reading this as a kid.
>>283321192Boy am I glad that he's finally an adult again. Imagine how weird it would be if he stayed as a child for more than a 1000 chapters!
Which is your favorite Conan tagalong team in a case?Ran/Kogoro.Ran/Sonoko.The kids / Agasa / Ai.Heiji.Sato/Takagi.Shinichi's parents.
>>283323036I'd say the kids and heiji are my faves, with the detectives close behind.
>>283323036I want more crossovers between the groups. Like Heiji stuck babysitting the kids, or Sonoko forced to stay with Sato and Takagi
>>283320936>Im trying to hide that Im alive>Show up in a public place to a hundred peopleShinichi....
>>283320815He's actually a pretty nice bro all things considered.
>>283323292Just like his father (and mother), he's a show off at the heart
>>283321113Can cyanide kill you through skin contact?
>>283321130Is it normal in Japan to date highschool girls?
Honestly its kind of dumb to not tell Ran a sanitized reason why hes MIA.Like dont tell her that hes Conan but>Criminal syndicate thinks im dead so Im in hiding because if they find out Im alive they will kill me and probably youLike thats a lot less dumb than his>Im busyAnd still keeps her in the dark, cause at this point shes just trying to find him
>>283321192Thanks OPIt would be ridiculous to go back to the status quo after this chapter, right? Surely if he shrinks back, at least Ran will be in on it after all of this?
>>283323036I wanna say Kogoro because he is my favorite character, but I love the parents cases because they are so rare and special. I don't really like Heiji that much but his cases usually are pretty good, too. For both, I like the change in dynamic, when Conan can be more like Shinichi.
>>283323401Yeah. I'd wager you need a little more and longer time for it to take effect, though.
>>283323516Stop saying like
>>283323401Cyanide is no joke.
>>283323763Whats wrong anon you dont like it?
>>283320568rich sheltered ojou-sama likes getting blacked
>>283320748no chill, Agasa kek
>>283324252>Agasaexcuse me
>>283320617He's just proud of his daughter.
>>283320726>Play so bad it killed him
>>283320936Jimbo, my HERO!
>>283320642>Black KnightOf all the names, something that somehow reminds to the BO. Was Gosho thinking of something or is it just to add the character a bit of mystery aura?
>>283321192Thx mate.
>>283320711>That title>Characters_relatedBravo Gosho.
This mini arc is kind of stupid on a reread.Its like the author forgot the entire reason why Shinichi was hiding was to protect Ran
>>283323036>ran/kogoroC'mon man, you can't force Ran on me like this. I just want Kogoro and Conan.The kids are a close second. Sure, they can be a pain in the ass, but an endearing one, and they're getting better.
>>283322082no, they don't>>283320815heiji is just dumb. Still a bro
>>283320936OUR BOY JIMMY
>>283321192thanks op, I can't believe detective conan is ending so soon
>>283323292He's risking exposure to keep Ran safe.
>>283323036heiji, no contest. Followed by Sonoko
>>283320660>>283320679So Ran was okay kissing the doctor?
>>283323036Sninichi's parents is usually smart people kinoKids/Agasa gives more variety.Ran/Kogoro is the classic.Heiji is a 50/50 between pure kino and average.For some reason, I think Ran/Sonoko gives us the best cases. Sato/Takagi is usually good for the subplot, the cases insofar are quite mid.
>>283325423I disagree. You gotta keep in mind vol 1 Conan and vol 26 Conan don't have the same situation.Once it was just Shinichi hiding. But after Ai, the rules have changed.
>>283320519>>283320533Ai making sure this plot point get milked for years to come
>>283325423But that's exactly what Ai is talking about here >>283320919Of course it's a little silly how everyhing more or less goes back to the way it was, but I feel like the chapters did a lot for the characters. They show Ran isn't a complete retard because she more or less figured it all out and it also displays Shinichi's feelings for her and how he's fed up with all the hide and seek.
>>283326022Why not? It's just a play, anyway.
>>283326197>>283326466Anons Im talking about this entire mini arcNext chapter is him going to school and taking her on a date, which is moronic since even if he werent Conan hes still in hiding. The author changes it from "I cant reveal Im alive" to "I cant reveal myself to Ran before Im cured"
>>283325802PRECIOUS JIMMY
Honestly, crazy plot pacing in these latest volumes. We get syndcate finding Ai, Ran suspecting Jimmy, and jimmy getting big i imagine temporarly back to backIf i didn't know what series this is, i would suspect it was nearing the final arc or something
>>283326722>if i didn't know what series this is, i would suspect it was nearing the final arcSurely they wouldn't axe our precious Jimmy, would they?
>>283326672>"I cant reveal Im alive"But that has been axed way before, he is constantly talking to Ran over the phone. I agree that the dynamic changes, but it's not like Gosho "forgot" about it as you claimed.
>>283327601Anon reveal hes alive to the world.Literally the entire point to this is not letting them know they failed to kill him
>>283321113There are so many cases where the murderer goes through with the murder because "so one day they got drunk and blabbed everything"
>>283326672Suspension of belief... we're supposed to buy that Megure sealed Shinichi's involvement with the case to the news.Btw Shinichi isn't "dead". He's "disappeared".
>>283327955It's exactly what happens in Ten little indians by Agatha Christie tho
>>283323036Any setup that isn't "Conan/Ran/Kogoro go to a place and find a dead body with 3 suspects". But if I had to choose, I'd say Heiji followed by Sato/Takagi. The Dboys+Ai cases I've grown to like more than I did when I was younger
>>283325581Conan with Kogoro just those two alone are always great cases. I don't know why adding Ran always makes it boring but when its just those two guys, it becomes fun
>>283326672Funny thing is, in later half, where he his fate got revealed to alive in the internet during school trip, Gin kinda doesn't care because its just one guy that escape his kill, among the people he killReally, why the fuck does BO even care about someone who escape them if they never reveal anything in long ass time anyway
>>283323036>Ran/Kogoro.great>Ran/Sonoko.usually awful>The kids / Agasa / Ai.hit or miss>Heiji.never liked that homo>Sato/Takagi.bad>Shinichi's parents.even worse
>>283328535actually lemme say that while heiji alone is bad, heiji\ran\kazusa is good.
>>283327627Ehhh. Shinichi is lucky overall. For some reason the BO, who constantly off entire families just so there's no loose ends, decided that it'd be fine to let Yusaku and Yukiko live yes, I know this is addressed later via VermouthThen, they don't bother checking the school records (where it must be stated that he's still a student, and had permission to not attend) nor the police records (which most likely list him as alive); though both of these could be justified as them not wanting to touch physical records just to confirm a single kill.Overall, Shinichi is lucky to have been born before technology was as widespread as it is today, and that Shiho modified the records
>>283328786>decided that it'd be fine to let Yusaku and Yukiko liveMy theory is that currently Toichi us currently undercover to help his brother
>>283320679wow, what a slut.
>>283321011what a fucking diva
>>283322047he's doing reverse Justin Trudeau
>>283328786Its also funny that they apparently did all that work checking his house and shit when Sherry was aroundThen got lazy
>>283321372I ai(æ„›) Ai(å“€)
>>283320533Ai knows that if Conan tells Ran, the story will end and they'll all cease to exist.
>>283320580>Conan has a coldAh, I see where this is going.
>>283320748Kogoro can't keep getting away with it!
>>283320802>>283320815Heiji is wearing whiteface.
>>283320858>Potassium cyanide kills almost instantly, and he drank most of the coffee before he collapsed!Oh, I know this one! The poison was in the ice cubes!
>>283328786That last bit was already established, so it's not a spoiler anymore, right?
>>283320936HOLY SHIT!IT'S JAMES KUDO!
>>283322126Honestly, no.Seeing Jimmy and Conan in the same place would kill all of my suspicions if I were her.Or maybe I'd suspect that Dr. Agasa somehow cloned Jimmy and Conan is the clone.
>>283321054He just like me.
>>283329652Conans a robot piloted remotly by Jimmy
>>283321192I liked the Child arc a lot, but I do feel like it overstayed its welcome after 257 chapters. I can't imagine it going on any longer.But now I wonder where the series will go. Will Shinichi have to face the Black Organization himself? Will Ai be cured, too? What'll happen with the Detective Boys now that Conan is 'gone'? Will Shinichi and Ran's romance advance?I'm really excited to see how the status quo changes from here.
>>283329693Jimmy injected his psychotic DNA into a chicken egg and let it marinade for 14 moons, and Conan hatched from it.
>>283323516>Yeah babe, a criminal group is trying to kill me, no big deal though, see ya.
>>283330165Thats better than>Im real busy babe if you need me talk to the 10 year old
>>283321084But why would she keep it? Throwing away an ice cube while in a crowd is the easiest fucking thing. Or is she afraid that someone's dog will lick it?
>>283330225Sure bro, saying that his life is being threatened to his overly sensitive girlfriend is somehow better.
>>283326722The appearance of Ai all the way until the end of Vermouth arc is peak Conan. It only start getting repetitive and stupid after the whole Akai family.
>>283322952>4chan.jpg
>>283324783sorry I got mixed up between two fat men
>>283320492>that PHAT shortpants
>>283331510C'mon man, they're not that fat (are they?)Also, one has a hat and the other a huge, fat nose. Very easy to spot the difference
>>283322082they have a similar build and face shape he does pull it off once
>>283331715By Ai's standards, Agasa is obese and needs to be on diet.
>>283320468>We're about to reach 1/4 of itThis daily is faster than I expected
>>283323036Are there any cases that have Kogoro babysitting the kids?
>>283332675I don't remember any, he is hardly a good choice for a babysitter. Closest would be that one chapter where Kogoro is running from someone and it turns out to be Detective Boys coming to get their New Years envelopes.
>>283332700That chapter is fun. Too bad Gosho hates him.
>>283332769What makes you say that? I didn't notice anything bad in the way Kogoro is treated, except the same comedy since the beginning of the series. He even recently had a proper detective moment, working out a case in tandem with his wife.
>>283329652>maybe I'd suspect that Dr. Agasa somehow cloned Jimmy and Conan is the cloneThere's an AU like that.
>>283333350
>>283333649
>>283333658
>>283333667
>>283333675
>>283333683
>>283320815if it wasn't for the eyebrows it would fit quite well.
>>283323409>Is it normal in Japan to date highschool girls?Japan values tradition more. Dating a highschooler and intending to marry them on graduation is welcomed. Moreso if the guy is successful, the victim in this case was a rich doctor.
>>283334263The girl's father is director of the hospital where they work, so it was running even deeper into tradition, by ensuring the family business will go on for another generation.
>>283321145I don't know jimmy, I drink my coffee without cream and sugar.
>>283334409What's funny is that ice coffee should come with generous milk/cream already mixed in, and sometimes even sugar. And that cream container is a bit small for that big cup.
>>283334409Iced coffee too?
>>283334409Sure, but do you take cream and sugar packets and then NOT add them? Because she did.
>>283334627You can save them for home.
>>283334627>He doesn't take them home, crack them open and lick them directly
>>283329845The egg was kept warm by Kakyoin, by any chance?
>>2833326721/4 of Conan already?!? Wtf
>>283337152He's full of it, Ji- Shinichi's got his body back, story's over
>>283329772Anon, I...
catching up with the latest chapters it kinda feels like Gosho is wrapping up the story right? After chapter 1000 there is less filler and the side characters have all developed I can't see how he will drag about another 200 chapters.
>>283337656Oh, you sweet summer child.
>>283337656Lately it's not so much less filler, as less cases over the course of one year. 2023 and 2024 had 4 cases each, and they were all filler. 2025 had 5 cases (with 6th coming in December), of which 3 were filler, with some small hints that did roll into Rum plot, but by then the year was already half way through.At this pace it could still take years until Rum is finally down.
I clicked on the thread on a whim and I stumbled on one of the best chapters. Lucky!I really should resume watching the TV anime and catch up with the manga. It's one of my favorite series.
>>283337656More likely that he has an ending written up but isn't going to let it out until he's ready to retire.Not that the Anime would let it stop them, they'd could even DO the ending and then keep doing cases that happen "before" that.
>>283337656Conans been "it could end next case" for like 5 years now.To be fair it could, shits a joke now and every time they try and make the Black Organization seem like a threat at this point its comical since Conans support structure has just gotten too big.
>>283338826It's actually pretty scary when one tries to list them. You have Yusaku, who is an even bigger genius than his son, expert in disguise Yukiko, expert sniper and genius Akai, Zero who is absolutely perfect... Heiji, Sera, Agasa, Ai, Kaito Kid, etc, etc. And they pull their respective organizations with them, so he pretty much has support of entire FBI, CIA, Japanese intelligence, police of Tokyo, Osaka, and other places. And then there is potential support when need arises. Through Sonoko and Jirokichi he can get Suzuki family. Even if Momiji quit chasing Heiji, there is still connection between her butler and Zero's subordinate from his days in secret service.Meanwhile, BO boss has Rum, Gin, and a bunch of weirdos that need tard wrangling.Vermouth is a wild card that can go either way.
>>283337656Cant Gosho just solve the whole JImmy being a kid and the BO plot and keep going with "adult" Jimmy?
>>283338073So does this mean that a case takes more than a book now?
>>283339682The series is called Detective Conan. He would have to end it, and then start a sequel, that might not be so popular, cause no more silly antics with little kid solving crime.
>>283339393Rum is going to die but not before passing the secret of the drug to Gin. Gin will go Super Saiyan and kill someone to restore balance. I think it’ll either be the entire FBI team or Haibara. None of the FBI members besides Akai have any romantic subplot, they're on chopping block
>>283339780Anon, the series is called Case Closed, as we all know.
>>283339734You mean manga volumes? They still hold 3 or 4 cases, with some cases spilling over to next volume, like they did since forever. There is simply less of them coming out.
>>283339393It actually makes sense for Conan to have that much supporters. I think he'll add Vermouth to that list to, maybe as deuteragonist.Thing is, the BO's big deal is secrecy. If Conan hadn't that much support, his only hope would be to stumble on a BO case and take from then on. Insofar in the daily, whenever he met the BO he lost exactly because he has not enough support!
>>283339984>anyone from support cast ever dyingCome on, anon, even Toichi is implied to still be alive. If FBI is still around after that case where their fellow literal who FBI agents were getting killed left and right, then they are pretty safe.
>>283321192>DoneThank you for posting.
Alele
Could Conan solve the lourve heist?
Case 73: Restaurant Elevator Murder File 258: A Quick Break
aw
>>283345063Jimmy the only way to prove you arent Conan is to kiss him right now
>>283345073Like of all the retarded shit she does Serenas pretty consistently a really good friend to Ran
File 259: A Moment of Peace
>>283345039>expecting a crowd of school kids to keep a secret
>>283345063Yeah, why? I'm confused. Somebody tell me.
>>283345063She likes being dressed like him.
>>283345102>hold my handL-lewd
>>283345252Just tell her Jimmy. The victim will still be dead when you get there.
>>283345252This would be a death flag if he weren't the main character.
>>283345150Just kinda proving the point that it'd probably be fine to let her know.She wouldn't reveal it. In fact, more of a chance she would if she just kept suspecting it.
>>283345358Would she say yes though?
>>283345402Lol she was into it. Good for him Ran wasn't there.
File 260: A Special Place
>>283345443>So that's how it isI recall that he kept saying this all the time when he cracks the case later on in the anime, but I don't remember him doing it in the manga so far, at least not too much.
Done. I believe in you, Jimmy. Only xxxxx chapters to go.There is always only one truth! See you tomorrow!
>>283345670Wait, he was actually going to propose for real?
>>283345252>in a flashHow many years ago was this case?
>>283345690Anon, you need to sharpen your deductive skills.
>>283345543It bugs me that we got to see this during the murder.
If I were him, I would spend those 24 hours fucking Ran non-stop. She wouldn't be against it. Who knows when he will get his body back again.
>>283345122right...the new teacher.
>>28334558920 year murder plan!
>>283345358Aren't they only 16?Is it normal to propose when you're that young in Japan?
>>283345402Gosho is really flexing Jimmy being full-sized again, isn't he?He couldn't have done this as Conan.
>>283345589The console wars were a lot more serious in the DC universe, huh?
>>283345648>Can you wait for him until then, Rachel? It'll only be about... 25 years. Maybe more.
>>283345619She should be saying 24 hours, surely.
>>283345619I SAW JIMMY IN THE BATHROOM WITH A NAKED LOLI
>>283345090This page breaks my heart.
>>283345160Given the romantic mood somehow I expect this dude to go out in a gruesome way
>>283345063That last panel is really cute in the anime since she says the "Ara~" verbal tic
>>283345102That's so cute>>283345122Oh sweet. Foreshadowing
>>283345193Columbo-style case!
>>283345581This was an awesome scene in the anime>>283345589Another "I'm going to woo this person and spend years courting them just to kill this one dude" motive
>>283345638>>283345648https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOLdYBpCjbE
>>283345225>>283345238can't even have a romantic dinner without someone getting murdered around you and you investigating autism getting the best out of youBeing Jimmy is suffering
>>283345670Very bittersweet.The chemistry between Shinichi and Ran is on spot, it's such a shame we almost never seen them like that. but maybe that's what makes it special ;_;All in all, I really enjoyed this whole arc. I wish I would have read it when I was younger.
>>283346090I think it's the countdown where his body start steaming
>>283348337It's 24 hours from when he took the drug that he reverts.
