Tom Bombadil 07/17/18 9:23:03 AM #143:	Case Closed, Vol. 3 Genre: Mystery By: Gosho Aoyama Whose fault: ...I don't know, actually forgot to put on BGM but it probably would've been Umineko Welp didn't make it yesterday but an early start today. I've been curious about this one for a while- it's one of our friends' favorite, and I do like me some mystery. I have no idea how we came to possess only vol. 3, but it looks like it was used. Jimmy Kudo, ace detective, has been turned into a first grader. He goes by Conan Edogawa now. There's an inventor and a neighbor who know his secret. That's all the context I have for you GO. Conan, probably the girl from the intro blurb, and her dad are all on somebody else's charter ship because they screwed up their travel plans. The ship is supposed to be used exclusively by the Hatamoto family. There's Natsue, who just got married and is sad that her parents weren't alive to see it, Takeshi her husband, Gozo the cranky grandpa, and a bunch more probably. I have a feeling I am not going to be able to do justice to the mystery elements here, so I am gonna cop out and summarize it as: there are a whole lot of Hatamoto running around, and Gozo is gonna do something dumb with all the money when the cruise lands so a lot of us have motive. Gettin' pretty Umineko right off the bat. And in fact we kick things off with a closed room murder. I'm gonna go pretty light on the summary here, sorry. Gonna be too much detail and part of the fun of mystery is trying to figure it out yourself, y'know? Looks like the dad of the girl (Rachel) is also a detective, but the kind where he's always one step behind the hero. Also looks like Conan and Rachel are a thing, or at least were before he became a shota. Pretty soon we have another murder, a disappearance, and a non-lethal stabbing. I got the culprit right! :D Conan used a voice modulator to make it look like the dad was doing the whole "the culprit is you!" shtick, lol. Doesn't actually look like Rachel is in on the Conan is a grownup in a kid body thing. That's rough. She figures it out over the course of the next story, though, and also realizes she talked a lot about liking Jimmy to Conan. whoops. Anyway, there's a shorter mystery about a doctor who is receiving mysterious presents and money and flowers and stuff, and the inventor guy uses a voice modulator to restore Conan's cover with Rachel. We get a few 4-koma as well. :D My rating: 9/10 This is up my alley! Cute art and mystery that appears to be roughly on my difficulty level. I'll keep an eye out for more now that I have confirmed I like it :D Discussion question: What's your favorite mystery? Let's expand this one to any medium since I'm not aware of much in the anime/manga realm. Hint for next: Yuu Watase --- Look at all those chickens I can be impulsive! I just have to think about it first! <cite>Tom Bombadil posted [p:905227134] in Tom reads ...
