The first case was the solution of the case started in the previous volume - the murder of Toji's mother. Although it wasn't Vermouth, the solution was interesting. I expected a full-fledged reappearance of one of the member of the Black Organization, though.

The second case was of the Snowman sculpture. This was intriguing because it explained the solution using science, rather than physiological or psychological evidence. It made me recall what I had learned back in school - the use of salt for freezing and melting.

The Phantom corpse case was the best of the lot, because it was truly mind-boggling. The explanation was equally amazing - using the statue containers to cover up the stains.

The Detective Koshien case, incomplete in this volume, is bugging me. What's the motive of inviting the detectives from the four directions? Was it to murder Junya? Or is there a mystery behind all the lavender?
But it is also amusing because of Heiji and Hakuba Saguru's little squabbles.

On to the next volume!

más de eisuke hondou y el inicio de detective koshien, donde heiji, conan y hakuba están juntos. es bastante emocionante ese caso por el cariño que de por sí le tengo a los personajes.

Caso Las Judías Son Vermouth: Aoyama continúa alargando el misterio de Eisuke sin hacer avances significativos. Las conveniencias de guion duelen bastante, la mezcla de casos es un poco ridícula y el método de asesinato, aunque lógico, es demasiado elaborado. También ha llegado un punto en el que ya me creería cualquier cosa sobre la identidad de los personajes misteriosos.

Caso La Nieve Te Deja Moñeco: bien pensado, como siempre, pero muy poco creíble y conveniente para el contexto concreto del caso. Me ha dado un poco igual, la verdad; es de esos que solo sirven para mostrar un nuevo método de asesinato interesante.

Caso "Era Más Fácil Salir a Fumar Fuera": el método es muy curioso, pero confía en demasiados elementos contextuales hasta tal punto que resulta artificial. Me pregunto de veras por qué los antiguos aprendices del templo no buscaban una alternativa menos complicada para sus fechorías.

Caso Heiji Salvó Cientos de Gatitos Pero Maltrata a Kazuha: un caso memorable únicamente por su reparto. Hakuba es una aparición siempre agradecida y me gusta que se debata un poco el deber del detective ante el descubrimiento de una víctima. La solución del debate me parece demasiado facilona, todo sea dicho. El caso en sí es entretenido, interesante y una auténtica competición de mentes privilegiadas. Cumple con lo que debería ser una reunión semejante y eleva la puntuación del tomo.

I love the nuggets of wisdom that pop up in these books. ^_^

As much as I love when the detectives of east and west team up, I found the cases to be a bit of a letdown. There wasn't anything particularly exciting about the mysteries in terms of modus operandi.

Vol. 54 starts off where 53 left off with the mystery of the dead heiress and her son thinks a strange "foreign lady" killed her. Eisuke, Rachel's klutzy classmate, is on Conan's radar for having a possible connection with the Men in Black and an overly invested desire to uncover the mystery of the foreign woman.

Following the resolution of that case, the next one involves the Junior Detective League and a confounding murder involving snow... The last full case of the series centers around Harley and Kazuha visiting the Moore family and Conan to view the cherry blossoms and running into a case involving a disappearing corpse.

The final mystery included centers around a greet teen detective tournament hosted by a suspicious tv special where Harley and Conan are taken to a secluded island along with three other teen detectives pitted against one another to solve mystery but all is not what it seems as one of contestants end up dead..

The Men in Black are in the story again! I don't know how I feel about it as now we are on volume 54 and they don't appear to have given us much more than they first did when the adventures began...but it is here anyways to kick off the book. The next story concerns a woman who dies in a snowboarding accident...but everything rarely is as it appears on the service. Detective Conan has a few things that just don't sit right with him...and he suspects that there might be foul play. The next story deals with a cherry blossom viewing turned into a case for Harley and Detective Conan! There is a mystery surrounding the monks and a dead body...or was it a ghost? This story seemed interesting and had a moral to the story at the end about the power of words. The next story involves a Detective contest! Harley might have the most page appearances in any book since his introduction in this very volume. I like these older detectives (adolescent ones I guess you can call them) as they are all quick witted, but it just has a different feel to it. This volume ends with a dead body being found...and so of course is a cliff-hanger story to be completed in the next volume.

Kaito kid is the real MVP

1. Starting with kaito kid being accused of killing someone oh my, but of course Conan cleared his name.

2. The painter case only gave me more inspiration to paint tbh

3. Kobayashi sensei should be more in the Detective cases with the kids!!!!

4. AND FINALLY black org drama is BACK!!!

5. Okay this boy from Ran’s school is as Conan said, from the black ORG AND HE IS PLANNING SOMETHIN!!!

AND HOW did they find the house of the boy who saw mizunashi jumping for the bike (in the previous arc) I mean chill.

All in all, this volume was a bit of a break, now I’m back on track!

I really enjoyed this volume, especially since it continued the main plot about the Ravens gang. Eisuke is such a clever and sharp character! The crime cases in this volume were masterfully crafted, even though the solutions felt a little unrealistic at times. My favorite chapter was definitely the one with the dead mother and the child who was in the motorcycle accident, which heavily injured Rena. I was also really into the chapter with the teenage detectives.

2 rather boring cases ( solving the mystery of a dead woman ina house and a dead woman in the snow. We experience the case of a dead woman in a house and she suddenly vanishes. However there is no trace left of her. Heiji is in this one too so even better. Lastly we get introduced to an amazing case where different young detectives compete against each other.

Un tome plutôt pas mal, entre Eisuke et Heiji, on a des affaires qui sortent de l'ordinaire.

- La suite et fin de l'affaire "mystérieuse"
- L'affaire du bonhomme de neige indestructible (le mobile est claqué au sol ici)
- L'affaire du cadavre qui disparaît, assez originale
- Le début de l'affaire "Détective Koshien", une affaire sympa qui réunit des détectives lycéens sur une île

Das Rätseln um die Figur von Rena Mizunashi geht weiter. Die Detective Boys und auch Heiji und Kazuha sind in diesem Band wieder mit von der Partie. Ich bin gespannt, wie der Fall um die Super-Jungdetektive weitergeht.

The highlight for me is the koshien tournament featuring the best High School detectives from North-East-South-West. Plus the return of Heiji Hattori.

One Word Rec.: READ

Rating: 5 🔍🔍🔍🔍🔍

Aoyama Gosho; DETECTIVE CONAN [Meitantei Conan #54]

e/read online; genre: { manga, mystery, shounen }; shelves: |comics, GN, manga, manhua, manhwa|

General Synopsis:
As mentioned above, I am going to write a proper review for this soon, but I have a few books ahead of this one in the queue, so I cannot stop reading DC NOW! That's sacrilege. I have decided to read all the chapters available up to now (we are almost to 1000!) As you can see, I am totally fangirling over here and I don't care, because this is one of my favorite manga series, ever! But all of this aside, there are a few things I wanted to list so I don't need to go back and look everything up when I do finally sit down and write my fangirl review. ✌🏻

V.54, includes Files 554 - 564

DO NOT click on the spoiler link if you don't want to read all the cases in this volume, because it will ruin it for you. On the other hand, if you're a fan like me or are looking for a certain case (and please note, these are how I have set the cases), etc. click away, that's why it's there.



Another spoiler link, so don't click if you don't want to ruin this manga. I am going to include the characters introduced or as the series continues are in this volume. Personally, I think us DC fans love certain characters more than other (yes, Heiji, I mean you!), so sometimes when we are re-reading this series (like all the time!) you might wish to start at a specific case or start when a certain character is involved.

Characters in this volume:

Personal Opinion:
#1, I never call this CASE CLOSED. If you do, you're not a true fan of this series, so don't even bother reading my review or my personal opinions. I'm sorry if I offend you, but you offended me first by telling me you want to read CASE CLOSED or you just love Jimmy.

#2, as you can tell by #1, I read this online. I would never waste my money buying a manga series in english that cannot get the name correct and mess up the main characters to make it appear more "ENGLISH." I am so happy I don't run a blog and this isn't a review on Sailor Moon, #1, because I have a huge soap box tirade against DiC. I also don't think there is anything against reading something online. Comics, which is what manga are, are meant to be read and shared and sometimes paying over $10 is too much in my opinion. Plus, I read the newest chapters as soon as they are released from Japan, because I would never miss a release of DC. So this is my personal shout out to you translators from me, Thank You!

THE VANISHING WITNESS AND THE BLACK ORGANIZATION’S SHADOW
Eisuke enlists Kogoro’s help in investigating a bizarre case involving swapped garbage, believing it to be linked to The Red-Headed League. Their search leads them to a murder scene where a young boy claims a foreign woman questioned him about an accident. Conan pieces the clues together and realizes the woman is Vermouth from the Black Organization, and the boy unknowingly witnessed the FBI’s clash with them. Now, the Organization knows Rena Mizunashi is in a coma, raising the stakes in this deadly game of espionage.

THE FROZEN TRUTH: MURDER AT THE SKI RESORT
A winter retreat turns sinister when a university student vanishes during a blizzard. When her body is found at the bottom of a cliff, the police rule it a tragic snowboarding accident. But Conan’s keen eye catches an unsettling detail—her missing hat, goggles, and gloves. As suspicion falls on her companions, Conan races against time to expose the murderer hiding behind the snowfall.

THE FESTIVAL'S PHANTOM: A VANISHING CORPSE AT THE TEMPLE
During a festival in Kumamoto, a student monk seeks Kogoro’s help to solve a baffling case—a woman’s lifeless body, stabbed in the chest, mysteriously disappears from the temple. The head monk denies its existence, dismissing the student’s claims as delusions. But is the student truly mistaken, or is the temple hiding a sinister secret? With Heiji and Conan on the case, the truth behind the vanishing corpse will soon be revealed.

Der 54. Band schließt erneut an den Vorgänger an. Der Fall mit Eisuke wird weiterbehandelt - doch seine genauen Hintergründe erfahren wir noch nicht, auch wenn Shinichi so seine Vermutungen hat. Dafür erfahren wir von den Männern in Schwarz ein kleines Detail, das mit Eisuke zusammenhängt.

Anschließend geht es mit den Detective Boys zum Ski/Snowboardfahren und natürlich passiert auch hier wieder ein Mord ;) Der Fall ist amüsant und liest sich angenehm. Eine kleine Abwechslung. Auch der zerstreute Polizist ist mit im Boot.

Den Abschluss bilden zwei Fälle mit Heiji ❤ Da freut sich mein Conan-Herz sehr darüber. Vor allem der zweite Fall ist wirklich grandios - wird aber mal wieder nicht hier, sondern im nächsten Band abgeschlossen.

Insgesamt ist es wieder ein spannender Band, der mit der Story um Eisuke hoffentlich bald noch mehr Fahrt aufnimmt. Aber dafür zeichnen sich ja schon einige Hinweise ab.

Definitely a bit of a come-down from all the Edogawa Rampo I've been reading lately, but this is still a fun, light mystery series that proves engaging, if not hugely challenging. The tatami mat mystery (AKA the titular moving shrine room) is the strongest, but all four cases in the book are good quick reads.

Baca Conan ini membuat kita belajar analisis, walau kayaknya kasusnya sederhana tapi itu bisa bikin kita belajar teliti dan memahami setiap analisa Conan.

Merasa kangen deh dengan kasus yang panjang dan agak sulit dipecahkan. yg di buku ini kok rasanya gampang banget dipecahkan Conan, dan saya lumayan bisa menebak siapa pelaku walau susah menganalisa triknya :p

Eh kasus pembunuhan di kolam bawah tebing itu yang pembunuhan dengan boneka salju yang dikerasin dengan garam itu bukan? Grup detektif cilik ketemu sama Yamamura, dan yaaah si Yama selalu bikin analisa asal-asalan. Hahaha.

Ada juga kasus pembunuhan dengan tatami alias karpet Jepang itu loh.
