Les enquêtes de Kindaichi #1

This first volume of Les Enquêtes de Kindaichi introduces the brilliant but unassuming high school detective Hajime Kindaichi, grandson of the legendary fictional sleuth Kosuke Kindaichi. The collection kicks off his mystery-solving career with the 'Operation: Phantom Thief' case, a locked-room puzzle involving a cursed opera troupe and a series of impossible thefts. Published by Tonkam in 2002, this manga adaptation by Yōzaburō Kanari and Fumiya Satō brings classic whodunit tropes to a shonen audience with clever clues and a charismatic lead.
