Reviews

[Gateway_to_Wonderland]

Salapoliisi Conan on päässyt jo 23:een osaan ja edelleen tarinat ovat mielenkiintoisia ja rikokset yllättäviä. Täytyy ihailla kirjailijan kekseliäisyyttä. Toisaalta hän kertoo, että on suuri dekkarien ystävä ja sen huomaa. Onkin ihan kiva saada lukuvinkki jokaisen kirjan lopussa. Osa tuttuja ja osa täysin uusia nimiä.

Tämä on edelleen herkkua dekkarien ja mangan ystävälle. Piirrosjälki on uskomattoman siistiä ja pikku tarkkaa. Todella nautinto katsoa ja lukea.

Not as strong, even with Heiji there. I'm excited about the cliffhanger chapter though. Let's see what the next volume brings.

Seru bgt kalo udah ada Heiji tuh hahah, btw Heiji beruntung bgt aslii ga kebayang klo jatuh ke laut trus gada yang nolong gmn cobaa🥲

[Mahra]

Enjoyed but did not top volume 22

1. The murder in the cinema was okay, I wasn't that hooked up, due the lack of knowledge for old cinema facility and behind the scenes

2. The next case was an interesting one but I was confused when they started talking about the killer Kanzo from 20 years ago, but I do admit the flash back at the beginnings where the gang kills the boss and leave.

3. ALSO I WAS WORRIED ABOUT HEIJI/HARELY THE ENTIRE TIME! And it was cute when he still wore the lucky charm/talisman.

All in all, i want to read volume 24, since it starts about the two cute inspectors in the investigation team

[Sam]

*Note this volume ends in a cliffhanger!

This one started off okay but quickly picked up for me. And the cliffhanger certainly lead me wanting to instantly jump to the next volume! Another nice addition to the series :)

Case 1: Enjoying, to some extent, a day off with the Detective Kids, Conan goes to the theater to watch some movies. While Conan isn't big on the choice of film, Ai suggests to sit back, relax, and turn his brain off for once. Unfortunately, the leisure doesn't last long, as swinging in front of the projector is a dead body.

A rather run-of-the-mill case, nothing really stood out to me. Though I did enjoy the short exchange Ai and Conan had in the bathroom. Their relationship is an interesting one, and I'm eager to see more with the two together (and with the Black Organization). But alas, the filler will continue for a long time x'D I think it was interesting reading this case now, about a dying movie theater. Still relevant after over 20 years. Though damn, the guy probably could've lived longer if they just banned him from coming to the theater. Which would've caused the theater to not fall into the red as well ^^;

Case 2: Conan, Rachel, and Richard get an all-expenses-paid trip on a cruise as a prize for solving a puzzle. (Well, Conan solved it :P) Along with a few other passengers, everyone seems at ease as the ship sets sail. It isn't long however, that old crimes creep back up from the shadows, along with a new one--murder!

The second they mentioned another detective was on board, ya gurl knew it was Harley! <3 A case with lots of twists, turns, and surprises (and explosions lol), it'll keep you guessing until the end. The longer cases can often be more fun as it gives more time to explore the setting and characters. It was interesting to see how all the characters were connected through a single event. This one was definitely a ride from start to finish. (No pun intended :P) And while you know Harley is gonna be okay, it was still like :O ;o; when he was attacked and disappeared into the water!

Case 3: While practicing for an upcoming play, Conan, Ai, and the rest of the detective kids get interrupted with a man bursting in, followed quickly by Detective Sato and Takagi. After a little mishap of Sato and the runaway convict getting locked up together, the man makes a plea for his innocence. With a limited time box, can Conan find the truth before the clock runs out?

Fantastic start to this case, really hooks you! It has a cute start with the kids and BAM fast paced action chase scene, ending with the mean begging for his freedom after being falsely accused of murder. Absolutely a cliffhanger with Takagi looking down at the kids, all hungry and eager to help solve another case!

Great way to end the volume and forcing you to (happily lol) pick up the next one xD

For Japanese Learners:

Check my previous review on book two for more info. This is a series, so things are gonna be consistent.

Metantei Conan #23: 4 Stars
[6.46 - really great, solid Volume]

This Volume included 2 cases and the first one of a third. The first case was good. The second was really great. The third one has the potential to be amazing.

(1-3 again were a case I had watched in my rewatch and therefor didn't read or rate this time. But I know that it probably would've been plenty of 5s and maybe a 6 or 4 somewhere.)
4 | 6.51
5 | 6.17
6 | 6.87
7 | 6.43
8 | 6.70
9 | 6.90
10 | 6.77

[6 means really great. Which is basically how I feel about this Volume. It was great but since Volume 22 was so incredible I definitely feel good with my rating here being a bit lower]



[my checklist of relevant-y] Characters featured: Shinichi, Ran, Kogoro, Heiji, Megure, Shiratori, Miwako, Takagi, Ai, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Genta, Agasa

[Stephen]

The first case in this new volume of Case Closed deals with a murder in a movie theater. I think this was a very clever story and it also has another nod to the legendary monster Gomera (which at least at this moment makes me assume the creator is a fan). The next case is a murder at sea aboard a large boat. Everyone appears to have an alibi and slowly as the story unravels we discover that there is a connection between a lot of the people aboard which goes back 20 years!?! Another fun story which starts and ends within this exciting chapter of Case Closed. The final story is only the beginning of it, and will take shape within the next volume, but the story is about a man who is fleeing the cops but claims he is innocent. But, he is convincing enough to get the Junior Detectives to help take on his case. But time is limited and will they be able to uncover the true criminal in time?

[Sari Herbita]

Di hari terakhir bioskop tua beroperasi, calon pembeli gedung bioskop tersebut ditemukan tergantung di belakang studio saat geng detektif cilik menonton film Gomera. Semua tersangka yang tidak memiliki alibi pada saat kejadian, tidak mungkin punya kekuatan fisik untuk melakukan kejahatan tersebut. Namun geng detektif cilik berhasil memecahkan misteri tersebut.

Conan, Kogoro, Ran, dan Heiji memenangkan sayembara yang berhadiah perjalanan di kapar pesiar mewah. Ternyata sayembara tersebut merupakan undangan bagi perampok bank 400 juta pada 20 tahun lalu. Satu persatu orang ditemukan meninggal misterius dan itu semua berhubungan dengan perampokan tersebut.

[Bill Fish]

The Detective Boys are at the final showing of a movie house and discover an apparent suicide that turns out to be murder! Hattori Heiji joins them on a cruise that concerns a 20 year old bank robbery that resulted in a murder, plus a murder on board and a possible bomber, but the investigation takes a harrowing turn that plunges Hattori into the ocean! The cliff hanger is Sato and Takagi chase down a suspect, but after Sato handcuffs her and the suspect to a toilet, the Detective Boys and the inspectors begin to doubt the suspect's guilt. Really exciting addition to the Detective Conan stories.

[Cecillie]

I was not the biggest fan of this one. The boat case was just too much for me. Too many threads that needs to meet in order for the plot to make sense, and it's just not done in a very engaging manner in my opinion. Too many characters that just happen to understand the first clue to get onto the boat, and then end up being linked in some way, and again it's done in a way that I couldn't get into.
I also don't have the highest hopes for the case that just began at the end of the volume. Why were the kids in that building to begin with? How is that the best place to practice for a school play? I get that they are kids, but why?

[Susanne]

First case: in the cinema someone seems to kill himself but the detective boys have a different idea
Second case: A random group of people goes on a cruise. However they are all connected through a case that happened 20 years ago. Suddenly a murder happens. Great case that also shows how lifes can be randomly connected through a crime
Third case: The police department caught a suspect. Though Sato thinks he might be innocent and Takagi and the detective boys have 1 day to find the real culprit.

All in all a god volume. Especially the case on the boat is awesome.

[Denaiir]

Enquête 1: meurtre d'un malfrat dans un cinéma, une enquête originale et un peu triste que j'ai beaucoup aimée
Enquête 2: sur un bateau Heiji et Conan essaient de leber le mystère sur un ancien hold up. Beaucoup trop long et tarabiscoté
Enquête 3: Satô et Takagi essaient de blanchir un suspect qui a été piégé mais qui veut se rendre qu mariage de sa fille. Hâte de connaître la suite!

[Chocotube]

Relecture

- L'affaire du meurtre déguisé en suicide au cinéma
- L'affaire du "planificateur de l'ombre" avec Heiji
- Le début de l'affaire "L'histoire d'amour d'un détective 2" avec Takagi et Sato

En soi, le tome est sympa mais la deuxième affaire est assez tirée par les cheveux et à force, j'en ai marre des histoires de couple de ce manga, donc difficile de ne pas lever les yeux à chaque page.

[Rici]

Hier haben wir wieder längere Stories. Zum einen in einem Kino, was abgerissen werden soll. Dann auf einen Schiff, wo die Leute zusammen treffen, die mit einem Raubüberfall von vor 20 Jahren zusammen hängen.

[Felicia]

I was unsure who the culprit was until the end. The dynamics were reconstructed masterfully. Heiji's presence is always enjoyable, even though he played a small role in the investigation this time. The final chapter is suspenseful and exciting.

[Soobie has fog in her brain]

La cartolina all'interno, con il piccolo Conan vestito da poliziotto, è bellissima! Illustrazione fantastica, devo dire.

Dopo l'aereo e il treno, ecco che arriva una grande nave da crociera. E un piccolo viaggio in una Cinecittà giapponese.

Conan crea dipendenza, questo sì.

[Bobby Stringini]

Thought I would revisit an old favorite of mine. Case Closed is just a good time. Sure they mysteries can't be solved without someone spelling it out, but the adventure and characters are familiar and fun. The series is like a warm, murdery hug.

[Lucy Fantaisies]

Une enquête très sympa au début dans le cinéma avec les Detective boys, suivi d'une longue et complexe enquête sur un bateau, je suis pas sûre d'avoir tout compris les enjeux de celle-ci, mais j'ai eu si peur pour Heiji ! 😭

[Wina S. Albert]

Conan Edogawa tidak hanya memahami kasus, pelaku, dan motif, tetapi juga semakin peka terhadap bagaimana sebuah misteri dibangun untuk menipu—seolah ia memahami aturan tersembunyi di balik cara kejahatan dirancang.

[stahrwars]

Die Fälle mit Heiji finde ich immer lustig und im nächsten Band kommt wohl Inspektorin Sato öfter vor und die ist große Liebe!

[Ankita Singh]

So happy to be back to reading this series! 💕💕

[Arjun Rajkumar]

Mystery on the ship was good!

[Akaigita]

Rate: 4.25

Kasus Saizo Kano di kapal itu seriuslah, bikin merindink. Versi animenya juga serem bgm nya.

[Ana]

★★★½

[Jäger Meister]

Ich war ein wenig sauer auf die characters weil sie sich nicht darum gekümmert haben wo Heiji war auf dem Schiff😡
Ansonsten aber wieder sehr gut 👍

[Sofiana Martha]

Nggak ada kasus yang menarik perhatianku, but Miwako Sato, you rock.

[Yasmeena]

i always knew the series was picking up but now it’s PICKING UP

[Royalcuore]

Der recht lange Fall am Schiff hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Ich freue mich nun auf den aktuellen Fall mit Takagi und Sato :D

[Lauren]

Good volume. The stories were fun!
