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.
It's a Conan, what else can I say! At this point I'm mainly reading these for a) nostalgia and b) Japanese practice. The story is definitely kinda stale and I wish they would move the main story along a bit quicker, but it does look like some things involving the organization could start happening again in the next volume... always hopeful.
Udah lama nggak baca Conan. Detektif Chiba ganteng ya pas kurus. Gemes sama romance di buku ini. Ala ala Aoyama Gosho banget, porsinya cukup jadi pemanis. Kasus favoritku yang mainin sudut pandang itu. Suka banget sama pola pikir Aoyama.
Classic Conan that has a nice array of supporting characters. Sporting one of the best cliffhangers in a while, it pushes the overall narrative a little further, allowing for very welcome progression.
Membaca volume ini jadi sadar Aoyama Gosho pinter banget buat cerita cinta :D Suka cerita cintanya detektif Chiba :D Suka juga cerita cintanya Yumi :D Menyentuh dan kocak XD
Ikuti penyiasatan Conan dalam merungkai misteri kapal UFO yang dikatakan muncul di kawasan sekolah dan telah membunuh seorang editor majalah dan seterusnya lesap menghilang.

Menariknya juga, ikuti usaha Conan dan rakan-rakannya merungkai teka-teki yang melibatkan pencintaan raja catur Shukichi Haneda dengan Yumi Miyamoto.
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!
This volume starts off where volume 88 left off and concludes the case involving the murdered band member. This one ends a little sad, but we do need different stories to keep us engaged in this long-running detective series! Next we have the Junior Detectives out shopping when they come across a stabbing from the restaurant they just ate at! An attempted murder in broad daylight!?! BOLD!!! The next case involves extra-terrestrials (E.T./UFO's)!?! I will admit it was a surprise case for me to read! Detective Moore and Detective Conan are on the case! The next case involves the Junior Detectives. The next case involves Officer Yumi and her famous (though she does not know it) boyfriend who holds 7 Shogi Crowns! I know it is a plot device but to be so good that you are famous at something and your girlfriend to not know is part of the comedy...but when you think about it it's really a tragedy. I believe this is supposed to be a warm story, but I found myself annoyed when anyone works so hard and someone who cares for you knows nothing about it. The final story of the book does not conclude and so you are in need of Case Closed vol 90 to complete the case!
Lanjutan kasus pembunuhan di grup Girls Band. Hmmm...pelajaran yang dapat saya ambil dari kasus ini adalah kalau dapat informasi itu jangan setengah-setengah.
Terus, ada kasus penusukan terhadap koki di sebuah restoran mewah. Grup Detektif Cilik yang melihat si pelaku memberikan kesaksian yang berbeda. Dan ternyata oh ternyata, kasus ini terjadi karena perkataan sederhana dari korban ternyata tidak sesederhana yang didengar pelaku.
Kasus selanjutnya tentang alien. Lokasi pembunuhannya cukup kejam mah kalau menurut saya. Ngomong-ngomong, Detektif Chiba jadi sedikit lebih keren di sini :D
Kasus berikutnya mengisahkan cerita konyol lainnya dalam kisah cinta polisi Yumi dan pacarnya. Hahhah, mereka ini lucu sekali. Gemas deh jadinya.
Kasus terakhir tentang pembunuhan seorang direktur kaya yang sepertinya terhubung ke petunjuk tentang kawanan berjubah hitam, hmmm, bikin penasaran saja, untung saya sudah punya Detektif Conan Vol. 90, hahaha.
File 938-948 Anche questo volume, come il precedente, non mi stava impressionando positivamente, poi finalmente la svolta: leggere di Yumi e di Shukichi Haneda mi fa sempre piacere, il fatto che finalmente Yumi ammetta i suoi sentimenti per lui, che gli chieda apertamente di esprimere a voce i suoi sentimenti la prossima volta che vincerà tutti e sette i titoli. Sarà una sorta di conclusione per i due o li rivedremo ancora? Ed infine l’inizio di un nuovo caso collegato alla droga somministrata a Shinichi mi fa ben sperare per almeno il prossimo volume, aggiungiamo anche l’intervento di Akai, interessato al caso perchè simile a un caso di molti anni fa mai risolto. Gli elementi per un avanzamento di trama ci sono tutti, speriamo bene!
- tt ban nhạc nữ - lời khai k thống nhất (trung tâm mua sắm, ảo ảnh thị giác) - Chiba UFO (giảm cân) - tìm thư H Shukichi đưa Yumi - Haneda Koji bị giết (cùng list APTX 4869 với Kudo)
(Sera là em của Akai với danh nhân Taiko, em gái ngoài lãnh địa giống Haibara? Kudo cả Ran gặp 2 đứa này rồi?? Bố mẹ Sherry định chế thuốc hoàn toàn khác???)
Could just be me having a headache for too long and overall not fucking happy with where I am, but I think these past volumes have actually been kinda stale, which is unavoidable, hoping the story’ll pick up in the next one.
Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with how some of the reveals were handled in this volume. I’m not expecting anything overly dramatic, but I was hoping for something a bit more impactful or memorable. Instead, a lot of it felt underwhelming.
The Shukichi and Yumi case was genuinely cute, and I enjoyed their dynamic. Chiba’s weight loss journey, thanks to Miike’s discreet influence, was also pretty amusing. But as for the other cases… they were just 'meh.' Nothing about them really stuck with me. I was not invested and I wish there had been a bit more intrigue.
One of the stories in this volume didn't involve a murder! That happens more often then it seems, but so many people in Japan get murdered in this series that I am concerned Japan might have an under-population crisis! Anyway, this is another fine volume of mysteries.
((ngucek-ngucek mata liat chiba kurusan)) bang aoyama lagi usil banget dah sama chiba xDD
lanjutan kasus girl band. ternyata yang tugasnya paling simple itu pelakunya. nyanyanyaa. paling ngenes tuh kalo motif pembunuhannya tuh gak taunya salah sangka. kasus ini dipecahkan oleh sera & amuro. tapi bingung deh sama 'suara hatinya' amuro tentang akai: teman akai yang ngajarin sera main bas itu penyidik yang menyusup masuk satuan pengamanan masyarakat kepolisian metropolitan.. laki-laki yang telah membunuh kakakmu (sera). ((wonder wonder))
file berikutnya: prof. agasa dapet voucher belanja & diberikan ke anggota detektif cilik sebagai kado natal. di pusat perbelanjaan terjadi penusukan seorang koki. conan meminta anggota detektif cilik yang berada di lantai berbeda untuk melihat tangga & memperhatikan ciri pelakunya karena pelakunya berlari menuruni tangga. uniknya kasus ini tuh para anggota cilik memberikan kesaksian yang berbeda. sempet kebawa juga apa pelakunya ganti-ganti baju ((yaa kali)) tapi ternyata permainan warna. haa. ini juga kasus salah sangka nih. untungnya si korban gak sampai kehilangan nyawa & berbaik hati masih anggap pelakunya itu temannya. wah wah. ohya lucunya kasus ini tuh waktu para anggota detektif cilik sebal kesaksiannya seperti diragukan, sampe nyeletuk: 'kenapa tadi gak disuruh foto saja?' yaaa conan gak kepikiran. eh eh ai & ayumi nyobain maskara juga di mall. hihi.
masuk ke kasus yang dipegang chiba, ada hubungannya dengan ufo. whaaat?!? lhaa, ternyata triknya berkaitan dengan percobaan sains. ra gara liat yang-item-item terbang yeah. dan di sini kita bisa lihat perubahan chiba dari chubby-kurusan-kurus-gemuk lagi dalam sekejap. kerjaannya cinta pertamanya yang gak chiba sadari dah, ah.
lanjut ke.. yumi & chukichi. ooh i love this couple soo much. i loove when yumi tear the form apart--yang cuek cuek cuek butuh, tapi tetep punya kelas! hahaaa. walau sebel juga sama chukichi ini, agak drama yeaah pake kepikiran yumi segala pas lagi tanding (yaa plis dehh, kan nungguin jawaban genting kalii). but that's chukichi style, i thought. ya udahlah, hail yumi & master cukichi!!
kasus terakhir..berhubungan dengan aptx 4869. ai teringat akan nama orang yang masuk daftar orang yang diminumkan aptx, 2 baris di bawah sinichi. orang itu ternyata pemain shogi, kakak tirinya taiko a.k.a chukichi. tentang ai, gara-gara liat ai pake maskara bikin conan jadi inget dengan adik angkatnya sera yang masih disembunyikan--terlihat mirip ai! lha kan, kan, kan ribeut. nah, kasus pembunuhan master koji haneda yang notabene terjadi 17 tahun yang lalu, kali ini terdapat pembunuhan yang polanya sama. korbannya habis memesan gunting penemuan prof. agasa. di sini subaru ikut menyelidiki kasus bersama conan, & seperti biasa..ai masih dingin terhadap subaru. hhmmm...
Salah satu alasan ke Gramedia adalah mengecek edisi terbaru komik ini T_T Meskipun bertahun-tahun belum juga selesai, tapi tetap aja ngga bosen buat baca komik ini, bahkan seri sebelumnya masih saya baca kalau jenuh sama kuliah hahahaha
Cerita favorit di seri ini adalah [SPOILER] tentang pembunuhan keran mengalir, di bagian FILE YANG DIGENGGAM! Oh iya, di episode ini juga Conan sudah curiga dengan identitas anak kecil yang tinggal dan disembunyikan Sera di apartemennya, menurut hipotesis Conan sih, anak kecil itu merupakan kakak Ai ._. . . Sama... satu lagi, Detektif Chiba ngga cocok kalau kurus ._. . Jadi, KAKAKNYA AI BELUM MENINGGAL, TJOY.... HIGHLIGHTS di seri ini adalah.... AI TAHU LIST YANG MEMINUM APTX 4869! Salah satu nama di daftarnya adalah Shinichi Kudo dengan status tidak diketahui! Emang segala hal berkaitan dengan Organisasi Hitam selalu seru dan rame! wkwkw selain itu ada kasus lanjutan pembunuhan di studio musik dari seri sebelumnya, pencurian di supermarket dengan saksi Detektif Cilik yang memberikan pernyataan berbeda-beda, kemudian ada pembunuhan berkedok UFO dan terakhir adalah pencarian form pernikahan seharga 100 juta yen (LOL)
THE BEIKA FESTIVAL BAND TRAGEDY After being inspired by a Girls Band movie, Sonoko forms a band with Ran, Sera, and Azusa, hoping to perform at the Beika festival. Their attempt at practice falters until Amuro steps in, impressing everyone with his musical talent. He joins the band, but their recording session at a sound studio takes a dark turn when they discover a drummer from a neighboring band strangled to death. Suspicion falls on rival band members with unresolved conflicts, leading Conan to untangle a dangerous web of rivalry and betrayal.

Conan must sift through the discrepancies to uncover the true identity of the attacker.
ALIEN ENCOUNTER OR CLEVER COVER-UP? A girl from Haido Senior High reports a shocking sighting of an alien at Haido Park. Kogoro, Conan, and Ran investigate, discovering mysterious footprints near a large slab of concrete. Officer Chiba reveals that a murder took place at the scene, with witnesses claiming the culprit was an alien who escaped in a UFO. Conan digs deeper, suspecting that the alien story is a clever distraction masking the real killer’s escape.
THE SHOGI MYSTERY AND THE TEST OF LOVE Yumi's discovery that Shukichi is a famous shogi meijin sparks a quest to retrieve a mysterious envelope he entrusted to her. The envelope contains a marriage registration form, guarded by an 8-digit code devised by Yumi’s building manager—a former pickpocket and shogi fan. To unlock the code, Yumi must navigate a shogi-inspired puzzle, proving her worthiness as Shukichi’s future wife while Conan deciphers the deeper game at play.
