Gosho Aoyama (青山剛昌) is a Japanese manga artist. He is best known as the creator of the manga series Detective Conan (known in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom as Case Closed).
Aoyama made his debut as a manga artist with the work Chotto Matte which was published in the weekly magazine Shōnen Sunday on winter of 1987. Shortly after that, another work by Aoyama, Magic Kaito, was published on the same magazine.
Voy totalmente en serio cuando digo que este tomo podría haber recibido cinco estrellas sin ningún problema. Pero dita sea, tenía que meterse ese primer caso en medio. Del resto, a pesar de que se consideran dos casos, los trataré como uno solo por su clara continuidad; también lo valoraré como parte de este volumen porque ocupa la mayoría de capítulos del tomo y tan solo el último se relega al siguiente.
Caso "Soy el Enviado del Guso y Me Dice Que Le Pagues la Coca": pues bueno, ahí está. Es un caso largo, pero no tiene la fuerza de otros como la Mansión Tottori o la sirena. Se limita a cumplir y, si bien todo tiene el mismo sentido de siempre hacia el final, he sentido que había demasiados personajes y relaciones entre ellos como para poder centrar correctamente el caso.
Caso "Esta Historia es la Bomba": el título lo dice todo. Esta debe de ser de mis historias favoritas en todo el manga, y tengo razones de sobra. Es un caso tenso, de acción constante, que mezcla historias del pasado y el presente mediante paralelismos, evoluciona la relación de Takagi y Sato, y tiene un final bombástico (no pun intended) que lleva los stakes más alto que prácticamente todos los casos anteriores de la serie. Es como si Aoyama hubiera aprendido del Casobús para crear una historia intrigante, llena de acción y capaz de fusionar cierto componente trágico con todo un entramado emocional que hace conectar con todos los personajes. Me molesta un poco la interrupción del beso de Takagi y Sato, pero qué se le va a hacer; ya llegará. Al fin y al cabo, el mensaje que transmite este caso tan largo sigue siendo una preciosidad: enfrentarse a los traumas del pasado y aceptarlos como parte de uno mismo para poder abrir un futuro mejor. Una maravilla.
This volume is full of excitements! Flashbacks and shocking events!
1. The case of the princess and the island was somehow unexpected, i did predict that the daughter of the mayor was not his real daughter. But what follows as always took another turn. I mostly admired Heiji and Conan teamwork.
2. The next case was my TOP FAV! My favorite offices in disguise! Takagi almost dying in a bombing and we all know Sato is concerned. I love the police teamwork when they arrested the gang.
3. I loooooved the flashback about Matsuda! Omg he was too handsome why did he have to die!! Dx but we all know why.
4.It was kinda sad that Sato cancelled the date and just friend zoned him BUT WE ALL KNOW THATS NOT THE END FOR THEM !!
5.the next case was based on the matsuda flashback and other bombing incidents and so Conan and takagi are stuck in an elevator with a bomb and they will have to wait till the message reveal where the other bomb is hidden before it takes off.
So far this volume held so many Sato and Takagi moments omg! Can't wait to start volume 37!!
The first story is a carry-over from the previous book involving a killer going by the name "Emissary of Guso"! This story is interesting and the events of the previous book leave Detective Richard Moore away for virtually all of the story. I will say I knew immediately who the killer was, and was hoping there was a twist to make me wrong...but I felt this story left all the hints on who the killer was in plain sight. The reason was the biggest reveal in my opinion.
The next story is definitely one of the biggest cases of the series to this point. A car bomb goes off in Tokyo during a parade! The Junior Detectives and the detectives from the local station are on sight for the case! I truly felt that this story would have been one of the best to do a between volume cut as the story gives you the feeling that one of the detectives loses his life early in the story. This story is so large that it isn't even concluded at the end of this volume making it one of the largest and longest cases to this point! Stay tuned for the conclusion in the next volume!
Ok... Que dire ? J'AI ADORÉ. Ce tome 36 est mon préféré ! (pour l'instant parce qu'il m'en reste 64 à lire...) Je les aime tous mais celui là à quelque chose de spécial. De plus, Sato et l'inspecteur Takagi (je crois) sont un de mes couples préférés (aves Shinichi et Ran, Heiji et Kazuha et Kogoro et la mère de Ran 💕). Ça fait un moment que j'attends des rapprochements pour ces quatre couples et c'est vrai que Gosho prend son temps. Je pourrais écrire pendant des heures pour vous parler de mon avis sur chaque tome, chaque détail, chaque rapprochement entre les personnages, de tous les couples que je ship, etc mais ce serait beauuuucoup trop long ! Simplement j'ai énormément aimé ce tome parce qu'on en apprend tellement sur Sato et puis CETTE FIN !?!? On m'explique ou je me tire une balle de suite ? Bref, hâte de lire le tome 37 !!! P.S. : si vous vous demandiez, je hurle à chaque fois qu'on a une info ou un rapprochement sur un couple :))
- la suite et fin de l'affaire sur l'île Onikame - l'affaire de la bombe lors de la parade sportive, avec l'introduction de Matsuda et un gros focus sur la relation Takagi-Sato qui se continue dans l'affaire suivante ; - l'affaire des 12 millions d'otages
Un très bon tome, un gros focus sur la police de Tokyo et la romance Sato-Takagi, mais même si maintenant j'ai du mal avec les romances de DC, cette affaire est vraiment émouvante et palpitante à la fois.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Volume Conan terfavoritku sepanjang masa. El clasiconya 2, kasus Matsuda sama kasus pembunuhan di pulau, tapi kasus yang disebut belakangan masih berlanjut ke volume 37. Aslilah, Matsuda ini. Walau muncul sebentar tapi bikin baper dunia akhirat. Belakangan sosoknya menjadi inspirasiku untuk tokoh utama novel debutku (halah jadi promosi)
Volume only goes over two cases the first wrapping up the Okinawa mystery with Haiji and the anti-police serial bomber with the Detective Boys and our favorite Tokyo cops.
Volume focus character overall is Sato and Takagi. No development with the black organization but the serial bomber story is very thrilling.
This volume is intens! I was not expecting it at all, since the story started with a Detective Boys plot, and, as I keep saying, those cases are usually a toss up on whether they are any good or not (with some bias towards them being boring). That then turns into what is essentially a terror plot against Tokyo, where the main target is the police force.
I love all the stories with Heiji. I think they are super entertaining. Also I enjoyed finding out more about Sato and her private life and how she became so guarded. It was exciting to see her vulnerable side.
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. ✌🏻
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!
ISOLATED ISLAND TERROR: THE ONIKAME MYSTERY Heiji, Conan, Ran, and Kazuha join a televised deduction battle between Heiji and Kogoro in Okinawa to boost tourism, but their investigation takes a grim turn when a TV station employee is found strangled. Heiji discovers an old anchor linked to past eerie events on the island. As they prepare to leave, their only escape— a boat—vanishes, stranding them in an abandoned house. The suspense deepens when their missing boat mysteriously returns, carrying the captain’s beaten corpse.
PARADE IN PERIL: A GHOST FROM THE PAST Agasa takes the Detective Boys to a parade, where they cross paths with Sato, who is investigating a bomb threat linked to a three-year-old case. The bomber strikes during the parade, destroying Takagi’s car, though he narrowly escapes. As the investigation unfolds, Conan realizes the explosion was merely a diversion, concealing a far more sinister plan.
A BOMBER’S REVENGE: RACING AGAINST TIME Haunted by the past, Sato recalls a tragic case where detective Jinpei Matsuda sacrificed himself to uncover a bomber’s larger scheme. Now, the same bomber resurfaces, sending a cryptic fax to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police. As the tension mounts, Conan, the Detective Boys, Takagi, and Sato work frantically to crack the riddle before history repeats itself in another devastating explosion.
Well, this is an easy one to pick my favorite, even if it's a little over the top. A mysterious bomber is targeting police officers, but the situation is bringing back some bad memories from Sato's past. Even if the whole being blown up thing doesn't come between she and Takagi, those meories might!
I have a thin line when it comes to melodrama. Sometimes, I love it as corny and hilarious, and sometimes, it just feels syruppy and maudlin. And in this case, all the angst about the past and worry about applying it to the present is on the good side.
The deserted island murder story concludes. Then we have the longest continuing story, the parade bombing, in which the police appear to be targeted; followed by a flashback story of detective Sato losing another detective to the same bomber 3 years previously, the Conan gets himself traped in an elevator with Takaki with a bomb attached, potentially mirroring the flashback tragedy, ending on a cliffhanger!
