What’s Detective Conan again?
Also known as Case Closed, Detective Conan is a massively popular mystery manga starring the genius detective Shinichi Kudo (also known as Jimmy Kudo in the English version) who looks like an elementary school kid but is actually a high schooler who helps the police out with mysteries.
Shinji got shrunk down to the size of a small child after being forced to drink a mysterious poison by some guys dressed all in black. After that, Shinji (taking the name of Conan) turns to childhood friend Ran Mouri (Rachel Moore) whose father runs a detective agency and tries to track down the Black Organisation. While he’s waiting, Conan encounters various mysteries including taking on the villain of the century! Conan faces any crime that comes his way in the pages of Weekly Shonen Sunday in the much-loved manga serial.
