>>287403931Sonoko getting groped by Kid-sama is a dream come true.
>>287403050Right, what did she read on her phone anyway
>>287403256It's not super believable that Kaito wouldn't realize she's female but on the other hand it's funny for him to be bamboozled by somebody's appearance.
>>287403098That Sonoko look on top right panel kek

>>287403062Please, Gosho, show us Nakamori checking Kogoro's cavities...
>>287403265I hate the stupid fang so much
>>287403278Thanks OPCan we really be sure Sera is actually a girl?
>>287403278Why is Sonoko so upset at Sera for using the men's room? Is it illegal for a woman to use the men's restroom?
>>287402972>>287402989This is Beika city, all right.
>>287403278Thx mate.
>>287403200Surely these officers >>287402797 on the balcony would have seen what he was doing, right? No? okay.
>>287403209So the real turtle is fucking dead.
conan is even smaller than expected
>>287409144There's no way that is correct, he doesn't even reach Ran's knees.
>>287409497
>>287409925>>287409144He is very clearly bigger in this page>>287402719Guess the rhinofaces aren't the only thing the anime fucked up
>>287402972Cute shirt on girl>>287403475Those are boy shorts which, despite the name, are female underwear.
>>287403256FLAT
>>287402754Kid is really lucky Jirokichi didn't decide to throw some fish in there as well.
>>287405088She is like a tall loli.
>>287407426No, but it's socially unacceptable cause of old prudish mentality. That said, back when I was in high school girls in my class would regularly use the men's room if they had to go during class, cause the building was designed so stupidly the men's and women's was on different parts of hallway and the men's was closer to our classroom.If anything, Sonoko should be happy that Sera gave her an opportunity to fondle Kid.
>>287408518If there ever was a turtle, it's not really the kind of pet one takes with them while sailing.
>>287403200cute
>>287403256Not even the plot armored KK can get away from Poochie's favoritism powers.Anons weren't joking, she's a million time worse than Eisuke. I get why she keeps appearing on and on and on and on, given she's part of a still unresolved plotline, and I get that Gosho needs to have some character exposition, but holy fuck she's unsufferable.>>287403377Nips cannot into western mythology. Same thing as COnan cases having obvious nods to Romance of the Three Kingdoms / Buddhism that here nobody gets unless they are into that stuff.
>>287414385Gosho just really likes his flat tomboy jokes, there will be more of that. I hardly even notice her sometimes, it's not like she is front and center and the one to win, the plot still goes normally, Sera is just like flavor on the side, like another Sonoko.
>>287414316What is? Turtles are not cute. Look what happened to Polnareff.
>>287414543>there will be more of thatgrim
>>287402744What, it's alright for Conan to bathe with her, but viewing artistic nudity is prohibited?
>>287412626Hot.
>>287402679>Kaitou Kid
>>287403247>They tend to talk to her like she's a male classmate.Do they really? I haven't noticed.
>>287402997>fishing linesI thought he didn't kill people.
>>287407315She didn't have a bulge. Then again, that could be ascribed to tucking or a flat chastity cage... I think. I'm not too knowledgable on that topic.
>>287415417Ran doesn't like to share her shota with anyone.
>>287415864It apparently has to do with honorifics.
>>287403149It would be really funny if Conan accidentally hit Kaito Kid in disguise.
>>287416041So Sera in Viz is treated like a young teenage boy, and the fan translation says she's an older teenage boy? Which one is right?
>>287416205I would go with fan translation here, since they actually have an explanation that makes sense, and don't treat it as a feeling discerned from conversations that convey nothing of the sort.
>>287416041I assume Sera is a bokkuko as well, yeah?
>>287416332I guess you could check the anime to answer that, I don't read raws or know japanese beyond few words. But if people get confused, and she is a total tomboy type, it's safe to assume that is the case.
>>287402754cute turt
>>287402787giwtwm
>>287403183>he mixed iron filings into turtle foodNot only is Kaito Kid an annoying character, but he's also an animal abuser.
>>287408488He used his wizard magic.
>>287403224>Sonoko patted down Kaito>didn't notice his penisHmmmm...
>>287404178she's gonna get early wrinkles
>>287403183what the fuck, kid
>>287403256thank you gosho
>>287416574She knew even Kaito Kid wouldn't be dumb enough to hide a biting turtle in his underwear.
>>287409144I'm fucking dying of laughter
>>287409144Sometimes aptx works harder than usual.
>>287417365Man, give us back the old artstyle, Gosho...
>>287417594I can excuse the artstyle, what I really miss is the time when Conan didn't have so many allies in powerful places ready to jump at one word from him. Cases were done better, too.
>>287419241>>287417365When was the last time he acted like a little kid like that apart from "ah le le" moments?
>>287402744Don't be a prude Ran, it's just art
>>287402787Kogoro wouldn't wave like that to her daughter, only to cute unknown girls, that's Kid 100%
>>287420019His child act usually happens around Kogoro or Sonoko, but considering the former got first sidelined by FBI shotacons, and then Amuro (and Sera, and Shukichi, and their mom...), and somewhere in between stopped bothering, Conan started being more free in his deductions and just says "it was on tv" or "Shinichi said so", and often some of the genius detectives picks up his cue to cover for him.
>>287403026God, I wish Sonoko patted me down
>>287403026>Going right for the goodsSonoko... you're gonna get in trouble...
>>287403256This is really hot
>>287403256>Original translation: Come to think of it, her underwear did look awfully like a low-rise...>Viz: Is that really women's underwear?Viz and their "acceptable" translation
>>287409144>>287409925conan the gnome
>>287422754Look, I'm not one to defend Viz, but the scanlation also has a huge amount of problems.
>>287423117Scanlation's problems lie in the fact not everything can be smoothly translated, and sometimes their interpretation really shows it, while Viz's problems are they leave out information and create wrong impression. Ideal translation would be these two getting together in a very loving relationship.
>>287403256i would do anything to fuck Sera
>>287423663You are not a child
>>287423915aptx can fix that
>>287423663ran...
>known publicly as the kid catcher>still uses others to make deductions in KK casesConan is a psycho that just likes knocking people out
>>287424492Being a psycho runs in the family. He even sometimes makes a devilish face when shooting Kogoro.
>>287424862I thought theatrics run in his family, not psychopathy?
>>287426542all actors are also psychos

>>287430178>heiji cockblockingbad bro
>>287429800Well, I personally think OP is very nice and hard-working :(
>>287429821The three suspects thing is getting REALLY old
>>287429509>>287429522>>287429509>>287429522I don't know why Viz loves changing shit so much. In this version Ran offers an exit but Heiji still makes a dumb excuse, where as in the scanlation he has to make the dumb excuse because he's being questioned about what he said. It makes Heiji look like an idiot (more than what he is for still saying Kudo)
>>287430193thanks op.
>>287429583>Heiji case
>>287430178Hot. Also, I think it's the first time Conan has shown some "interest" in Kazuha
>>287430778Well Kazuha might be annoying, but she's a hottie for sure.
>>287430529How do you propose it should be translated? because the solution in the scanlation is atrocious.
>>287430108>Detective manga has to be true to lifeHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
>>287430529it makes the point he still hasn't learned to watch his mouth, who cares? kudo/kiddo gets old eventually
>>287431826>>287431965I just don't think it's a reasonable course of action when you have an easy justification in front of you and you don't take it. The normal thing for him to say in the Viz version was "oh, okay, I thought he was here".
>>287432213That's fucking stupid, and doesn't reflect the original wordplay.
>>287429596>>287429617The vacuum cleaner was the culprit!
>>287429669>>287429650>>287429682>Heiji is upset because no case>Shinigami brat promptly summons a cruel shooting in front of them to cheer up his boyfriend
>>287429794>maybe the guy who shot himself in the windowed elevator passing by a group of people didn't want anyone to see itCome on, Takagi.
>>287429821>>287430498I can tolerate it when the characters are introduced beforehand, you can't have too many people on a short case. But this stupid "we narrowed it down from possibly tens or hundreds to these three suspects" is aggravating
>>287429871Gosho's self insert??
>>287430193Thanks OP
>>287430529>erm why doesn't viz just add a parenthetical into the dialogue to explain a Japanese punbro you need to get fishing lined asap
>>287402735>Even Ran questions "why the fuck are you here"
>https://x.com/i/status/2043524577230532885Movie 29 opening weekend: 3.5B yen, 2.31M admissions
>>287430498>>287432859Remember this is a weekly manga and part of the fun for a mystery manga is to figure out the case yourself.There are two common patterns(among other less used patterns) Gosho uses.There is a single suspect who is the obvious culprit. The case is to figure out how the culprit committed the crime.There are multiple suspects and it's not clear who the culprit is. This is your traditional whodunnit case. With multiple suspects, the more of them you add the more difficult it becomes for the reader to reason out the case on their own. Three suspects is a happy medium for a short case that allows for enough ambiguity for readers to participate while not being overwhelming. True, it does result in cases being a little formulaic. However that's a necessary tradeoff for a long running mystery manga centered around short cases.
>>287436775At some point I stopped thinking because some of the evidence can only be acknowledged if you're the author, or sometimes you don't even know what it is since conan just goes "I see so this is the thing"
>>287437311I guess that's how Conan feels when his dad solves cases before he can even question a single suspect
>>287437311Same, but for cases with fishing lines involved, kanji or a lot of chemical reactions. I don't know very much about chemistry but even then, Conan likes to take things into the limit, with the fewer possible amount always being used (specially egregious with cyanide)
Is Komei gay for Yamato? He's 35, never shows any interest in women, fucked up his career chances to find Yamato in hospital (meanwhile Yui just signed him off as dead), and is now constantly a third wheel for Yui and him.
>>287429555My honest reaction when I hear someone has been murdered in cold blood.
>>287439057Considering his family's lives always revolved around murder investigations and adventures, and his parents always act so nonchalant about it, he really couldn't have turned out any different.
>>287429813I know it's REALLY late to mention it, but I really don't like how Heiji's accent has to be written out.
>>287429543Is AC vent really that strong to support adult male body?
>>287439491Depends on the model, I guess. Ceiling AC vents can be made from steel, and with some good screws should be able to do the job. Japanese are also pretty small and light.
>>287439462It's hard to read, especially if one is esl, but I don't see how else would they point out he speaks in kansai-ben vs Tokyo-style japanese of regular cast.
>>287430019>With the right "timing", you can pull it off!
>>287430778Does Conan actually have a proper libido?He's physically 6 years old, so can he even get horny in the post-pubescent way?Or does it excite him more in the sense that it's forbidden and he's getting away with something naughty?
>>287439546Dropping an occasional y'all would really be enough.It's really just replacing the "th" with "d" all the time that bothers me.
>>287439546>That's wrong, "aho"!TL Note: aho means baka
>>287439865Gosho's idea of kids at that age is a bit too advanced, Ayumi is obsessed with romance, Mitsuhiko can get a serious crush on girls, Genta had a crush on Ayumi before he decided eel on rice is his whole world, and Conan has already got a proper anime nosebleed from seeing Ran naked. Those are all things that should really happen during or at least really close to puberty, than at age 6.
>>287430019>>287430048Is 2010's tablet that good?
>>287439895From what I can tell, kansai-ben has far more differences than an occasional "y'all" would convey, which is really just street speak anywhere regardless of its origin, so he'd just look like a typical teen, and not Osakan.At this point I've gotten pretty good at reading his terrible talk, he irritates me for other things.
>>287429388>TorakuraReal subtle
>>287440098Torakura=Dracula is actually mentioned in the story.
>>287429890>Hey Gosho, you didn't kill this guy, with how convoluted the murder is, right?>If I had an idea this good I'd use it in my manga instead (lol)
>>287430178>My primary motivation was that he set up his suicide to look like a murder and the police were too stupid to even realize he set that up!Add it to the list
>>287415626Hey now I'll take Kaito Kid over back to back murder cases that may or may not involve a fishing line or cyanide.
I'd take Kaito Kid's dad over anything.
I will give Kaito cases one thing, it is satisfying to see the kid get his ass kicked in the end
I still can't believe Kaito is so like Shinichi, Ran can only tell them apart if he says something wrong or fondles her butt.
But surely there was a way that the detective manga writer could have thought of an actual alibi, wouldn't it?
>>287442266The editor wasn't around to help.
Think you can be Conan for real? Now's your chance. https://x.com/i/status/2043553091019260213
A Columbo style case would be fun but probably wouldn't work.
>>287443063It would have to be done by some other detective, cause Conan is not very strong in the patience department.
Chiyaha must be an industry plant
>>287443035What's the point if I'm not a cute japanese girl?
>>287444217To help a cute japanese girl gain fame by solving murders in her sleep.
>>287429555>>287429650People should be SO glad Conan and Heiji decided to channel their absolute psychopathy in solving crimes instead of committing them
>>287429905>Immediately jumping to marriage
>>287429749>Dod bye...I see...
>>287439462i was just thinking that, they go too far with him, i always have to re read his dialogue
>>287449318At least it's not as bad as father anderson
>>287429555My first thought was that it was cute that Conan didn't act cooler than thou like he usually does. Their psychopathy must've infected me...

>>287453803Feels like it's been a while there's been a "super-natural" case like this.
>>287453702But where was the body?
>>287452228how many more times is Gosho gonna pull the "NANI? A GHOST/VAMPIRE/THE SWAMP MONSTER EEK" with Ran and Kazuha in the last 300 chapters to come, good lord
>>287453269>Teen detectiveWhy add the teen? make you seens like a fucking doofus
>>287429905>>287447152This is a rare VIZ-exclusive fujobait. In the original, Kogoro smugly says that it takes the two of them to make a 一人前 which can mean an adult, a qualified (detective, in context), or one portion. As in, it takes the two of them to measure up to one of him.
>>287455081Forgot pic.
>>287453753Ok i give on trying to figure how the crime was done, those solutions are getting way too stupid
>>287452339Nice page

>>287452807>everyone is already taking new partners after their old ones just diedWhat the fuck is wrong with this family
>>287452180Yep, I really liked it. Definitely a recommended read.>>287452216I enjoyed Dracula a bit more because Victor felt too hypocritical and his rantings went on a bit too long in Frankenstein. But I also still really liked Frankenstein.
>>287452858Normally I hate the "scared of ghosts" shtick with these two, but them being completely unaware and running off to cook together this time is kind of endearing.

>>287453348Fuck off with your pot stickers already, people are dieing left and right
>>287453391I really hope this dude isn't the killer, what a refreshingly normal reaction to your loved one's death.
>>287453554Some really nice pages on this case
>>287453627I'm not entirely sure, but this might be a hint of panty there
>>287453640delicious Hanzawa cheeks
>>287452635Even for Belka, Heiji is way too nonchalant about not checking on the girls during a possible murder
>>287452264She's going to be dead or murderer because she's cute
>>287453580This gag is so stupid. Using garlic to repel vampire is one thing, but who the fuck told them to keep making pot stickers till 5 a.m.?
>>287453803Thanks OPThe ending was a little silly and slightly rushed, but this has honestly been the best case for a long while in my opinion. Compared to the last longer "supernatural" case with the burning hound, it had a lot more going for it. Some surprising red herrings, nice cast of characters, decent art. Gosho can still do it if he wants to.
>>287456809Everyone was just happy the two screeching gorilla girls weren't around. As to why they were preparing tons of food nobody eats for hours, it's because they're retarded gorilla girls, too.
>>287452836I learnt this from Shaman King when I was child
>>287452901I can't imagine how bad is this to the old man's back
I first read this case in my early teen and it scared the shit out of me
>>287457149I was gonna call you out for being underage but the case released 13 years ago so I guess you're in the clear.
There's actually a really old anime filler case that already used the vampire setting before this one.
>>287453803thanks op.
>>287453803thanks op
There is only one bump!
>>287453753>ice wheelsoh fuck off
>>287452717Bottom right panel would be handy to keep around
>>287456692Between a big case and Kudo so close to him, Heiji has no time to think of some silly girls. If it weren't for the perpetual joke how girls are afraid of supernatural, it would be the killer that needs protection against karate champion and 2.dan aikido.
>>287452216Is this really happening?
You know, it's actually funny how vampires are just an act, but it's perfectly normal for Shinichi to get shrunk by a drug. And then there is Magic Kaito's Akako being canon to DC.
>>287452807>Actual full-on psychopathy on display
>>287452963Pot-stickers? I thought everyone called them gyozas
>>287460462I guess it could be either since this is not a cooking manga, gyoza are really just japanese version of chinese potstickers, supposedly they feature a more garlic-heavy filling. They are also smaller and bite-sized.
>>287453108Lmao at anyone building a secret passage in a week, even with outside help
>>287460537It really shouldn't be that difficult for someone rich, just look at some of Jirokichi's contraptions for capturing Kid.
>>287453753The ice wheels would be actually hilarious and a good answer for any other case, but this one requires so much planning and good execution, both by the designer of the murders and the actual executioner, that it just comes off as ridiculous.
>>287460510I meant that I had never heard of the term pot-sticker (ESL). Thanks for the clarification anon
>>287453803Thanks OP. I have to stop reading late at night, at first I thought the old maid was the mother of the new maid and that the new maid was the biological daughter of the count. Turns out I was right despite reading wrong
>>287460462Potsticker is the English word for gyoza, I think.Just like how Jimmy is the English word for Shinichi.
>>287455081I think this is referenced later in the case, with the "one half of a haunting" part. Gosho likes to do that after all.
>>287453671I knew it, from rather early on, even. The whole lovey-dovey "honey bun bun" nonsense was really suspicious.
>>287461629It would be funny if one of these obvious gold diggers was genuinely in love with them

After work I am going to a hotel with my 18 year old assistant, but I will be home before midnight - your husband.When he arrived to hotel reception, he noticed he received a mail from his wife:>Dear husband, you are also 54, and by the time you will be reading this I will be in another hotel with an 18 year old waiter from nearby bar, and since you are such a good mathematician, I am sure you will have no trouble realizing that 18 goes into 54 more times than 54 into 18. Don't wait up for me - your wife.

It honestly feels like there's a lot of Heiji cases, like maybe 1 in 10. I'm not complaining, I really like him, it's just that when he was introduced I didn't expect for him to be so prevalent.
