Case Closed manga vol. 1




Case Closed, also known as Detective Conan, by Gosho Aoyama, is a dramatic and hilarious detective manga series. Seventeen-year-old detective prodigy Jimmy Kudo finds himself way over his head when he tries to catch two criminals in the act and ends up being poisoned by the “men in black” for knowing too much. Rather than dying, Jimmy shrinks down to the size of a toddler. Adopting the pseudonym “Conan,” after the famous novelist, he makes it his life goal to track down the culprits and get his real body back. Now, Conan must solve crimes to get closer to those he seeks--only, no one will take tiny Conan seriously. Conan takes refuge with his high-school friend, daughter of a mediocre detective, and uses his incredible wit to solve crimes on behalf of the clueless detective. Armed with an array of scientific gadgets created by his scietist neighbor--and the only other person who knows what really happned to Jimmy--Conan successfully solves crimes, unbenonst to his friend and her father.



With great artwork and expertly plotted out mysteries, it's no wonder this series is a hit in Japan and the U.S!
