☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects installments of the long-running mystery series, focusing on a storyline involving the phantom thief Kaito Kid. The title hints at a personal connection between the thief and the series' protagonist, Conan Edogawa, as they engage in another high-stakes game of wits. Fans can expect the usual blend of clever puzzles, hidden identities, and suspenseful heists that define this arc.
In "Crimson," Conan grows increasingly uneasy as he notices eerie parallels between Eisuke and the mysterious Kir, a high-ranking member of the Black Organization. Meanwhile, Richard follows a child’s fragmented clues in a case that defies conventional tracking—each step revealing more about the unseen forces at play. Written by Gosho Aoyama and Tetsuichiro Miyaki, with art and inks by Gosho Aoyama, and a cover by Gosho Aoyama and Andrea Rice, this issue deepens the tension with subtle connections and quiet dread.
In "Sole Witness," Richard is drawn into a mystery when Eisuke pushes him to investigate the sudden disappearance of a musician. Their search leads them to a young boy who may be the only one who saw what happened—but his reliability is far from certain.
In "Nail and Snake," Conan pieces together subtle clues as Richard investigates a child’s account of a missing person, where the only details are a strange nail and a fleeting shadow. As the case unfolds, Conan can’t shake the eerie resemblance between Eisuke and Kir—his instincts flaring with every quiet gesture and hidden glance.
In "A Mysterious Job," Eisuke nudges Richard into investigating oddities surrounding the town’s garbage collection, uncovering a trail that leads to a murdered woman. Conan soon realizes her young son may have seen something crucial—something tied to the capture of Kir.
