About this Collection

This volume of Case Closed collects the next installment of the long-running manga series, featuring the young detective Conan Edogawa as he tackles a new mystery with a Dracula-themed twist. Written and illustrated by Gosho Aoyama, the story continues Conan's quest to solve crimes while hiding his true identity from those around him.

In "Mimicry," Inspector Otaki takes Richard and Harley on a chilling case involving a reclusive millionaire convinced he’s a vampire—and possibly tied to the ritual murder of a housekeeper. Written by Gosho Aoyama and Tetsuichiro Miyaki, with art and inks by Aoyama, this Case Closed issue blends eerie atmosphere with classic mystery, all rendered in the series’ signature sharp detail. The cover, also by Aoyama, captures the unsettling tone with a striking, moody portrait.
