About this Collection

This volume of the long-running manga series continues the adventures of teenage detective Jimmy Kudo, who was transformed into a child after being poisoned. The collection includes the conclusion of the Moonlight Sonata case and the beginning of the Haunted House mystery, as Jimmy (now Conan Edogawa) works to solve crimes while searching for a cure. This edition collects chapters from the original Japanese serialization, featuring Gosho Aoyama's signature blend of mystery, humor, and suspense.

In "A New Weapon," Detective Conan faces a high-stakes puzzle when a group of criminals forces a hostage to send a cryptic code to Richard, demanding it be cracked by day's end—or the prisoners will be executed. Written by Gosho Aoyama and Tetsuichiro Miyaki, with art and inks by Gosho Aoyama, this tense installment of Case Closed delivers sharp suspense and clever twists. The cover, a collaborative effort by Gosho Aoyama and Andrea Rice, captures the urgency of the moment with striking precision.
