金田一少年の事件簿R [Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo R]

In the early 2010s, Kōdansha revived the classic mystery series Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo R, bringing back the brilliant but unassuming high school detective Hajime Kindaichi for a new run of cases. Spanning 14 issues from 2013 to 2017, this continuation pairs Kindaichi with his old friends as he untangles intricate, locked-room-style murders and psychological puzzles. The series is most associated with creator Shin Kibayashi (under the pen name Yōzaburō Kanari) and artist Fumiya Satō, who together refined the franchise's signature blend of clever deduction and tense atmosphere. It matters as a key chapter in one of manga's most enduring detective sagas, proving the character's appeal could thrive in a new era.
