I made it so far and I feel like it's too late to quit now. However, I'm starting to get so bored. Even Shinich couldn't help. I'm feeling terribly guilty about it because I love the manga and the characters. This was my first 2 stars for detective conan and hopefully the last.

This book starts out finishing up a case started in the last book where they discovered a man who had been strangled in his car while driving. The time is ticking, because Jimmy has to solve it before Anita's mixture wears off and he changes back into Conan in front of everyone.
The next case happens when a food critic is poisoned at a revolving sushi restaurant where the Junior Detective League is eating. This is followed by a murder case at what was supposed to be a television quiz show as part of a final contest for a prize. I actually solved this one myself, which pretty much never happens, so I was pretty proud of myself for that one.
The final case is about the Silver Witch who is known for racing people in the fog and leading them to their deaths. This one had a funny ending when the identity of the real Silver Witch is revealed.
I feel like this book of Case Closed had a much lighter feel to it. As always, it was a quick, easy read, with Conan showing off his amazing deducting skills and trying to guide the adults to the right answers, all while keeping his true identity a secret.

I’ve exhausted all the new mana I’ve purchased. Now I go into withdraw until I can buy some more. Why have I done this to myself...again? This manga/anime is too addictive!

Kisah detective Conan yang paling seru itu tidak lain ketika dia mulai kembali ke kondisi semula sebagai Shinichi Kudo. Dan di seri 63 ini, sosok Kudo masih melanjutkan perannya dalam memecahkan kasus yang belum selesai di seri 62. Selain trik pembunuhan yang cukup kreatif, ending dari kasus ini tak kalah menegangkan, yaitu ketika tubuh Kudo mulai kembali lagi mengecil sedangkan Ran berada di sampingnya dan tidak mau melepaskan gandengannya. Apakah yang akan terjadi selanjutnya? Yang jelas tidak akan aku ceritakan di sini kan?
Kasus selanjutnya adalah terjadinya pembunuhan di warung sushi. Triknya cukup mengejutkan. Sangat mudah dipahami dengan ending yang tak terduga.
Kasus ketiga di seri ini kita akan diperkenalkan dengan sosok ayah Genta yang secara kebetulan ikut terlibat dalam suatu kasus pembunuhan. Misteri di sini bukan hanya siapa pembunuhnya tapi tampaknya Aoyama Gosho juga bermain teka-teki yang mana ayah genta sebenarnya. Sayangnya kasus ini menggunakan trik permainan kata-kata bahasa Jepang yang tentu saja bagi pembaca non Jepang akan sedikit kesulitan memaknai permainan katanya.
Kasus terakhir di seri ini adalah trik untuk menciptakan urban legend penyihir perempuan di jalanan yang berkabut. Triknya luar biasa cerdas dan terdapat ending yang mengejutkan juga.
Seri ini tidak menyajikan kasus yang menggantung di akhir halaman. Karena kasus terakhir telah terpecahkan tanpa harus bersambung ke seri berikutnya.

Caso Matando a Cien por Hora: otro de esos casos que confirman que a Shinichi le importa más el misterio que Ran. El final del caso es trágico tanto en la trama principal como en el propio caso. Aun siendo estándar, es un buen refinamiento de la fórmula.
Caso "Eso Os Pasa por Ir a Restaurantes de Plebeyos": estándar. Me gusta cómo juega con el concepto de los códigos QR y el funcionamiento de una barra de sushi giratorio, pero poco más.
Caso Cuántos Kojimas y Ningún Hideo: un caso con varias capas de profundidad en apenas tres capítulos. Aunque resulte olvidable a la larga, hace todo lo suficientemente bien como para recordar elementos concretos. Una lástima que supiera quién era el padre enseguida; es lo que tiene acostumbrarse a los engaños narrativos de Aoyama.
Caso Muriendo a Cien por Hora: predecible, pero también con un tono thriller que agradezco mucho.

ahhhh, shinichi shinichi shinichi !
masih nerusin kisah sebelumnya - shiragama sama - saat wajah shinichi diduplikat sama pelaku . lalu ran yang gak mau ngelepas shinichi gitu aja sebelum dia bertanya sesuatu yang sabgat diinginkan eh kok mnurut gue dia lebih ke meminta penjelasan yaah ? ngoook -,-
saat perjalanan pulang ketemu sama another murderer case. yatuhan tindak kriminal di jepang segitu besar yaah ? part menegangkan karena efek anti aptx4869 yang udah mau abis, tapi shinichi masih di tempat umum dan ran bner2 gamau ngelepasin tangan shinichi eaaaaa.
dilanjut dengan kasus pembunuhan di revolving-sushi-restauran. karena dendam, pelaku membunuh korban dengan menggunakan trik yang sbenernya sederhana sekali. yah, sebenernya korban juga turut menyumbang kematiaannya sendiri sih, dia juga mancing2 msalah . makannya guys punya mulut sebaiknya dijaga :p
kasus berikutnya sukses ngebuat genta kojima terkena panic attack. pasalnya ayah-nya jadi salah satu dari 3 orang yang dicurigai sebagai tersangka. bermula dari kontest berhadian lukisan langka untuk semua orang di jepang yang memiliki marga alias nama belakang kojima-san. berlanjut dengan pembunuhan si presiden alias penyelenggara acara tersebut yang pernah di rampok 2 lukisan sebelumnya dan anjing kesayangannya dibunuh oleh ketua perampok tsb. hoo yang gak nyamgka ternyata genta amam bokapnya beda banget man, bokapnya ganteng, tegap eh gentanya kayak balon begitu :p

Der 63. Band schließt an den 62. an und für zumindest den Abschluss des Falles haben wir noch Shinichi bei uns, bevor er wieder zu Conan wird. Seufz. Der Fall wird leider auch recht schnell beendet, sodass es im Alltag weiter geht.
Dieser wird gleich mit 2 Fällen mit den Detective Boys eingeleitet. Zuerst in einem japanischen Restaurant, dann gehört Gentas Vater zu den Verdächtigen eines Mordfalles. Beides sind ganz vergnügliche Fälle, die aber keine großen Besonderheiten oder neuen Erkenntnisse bringen.
Den Abschluss des Bandes bildet wieder ein Rennauto - genauer gesagt der Mythos der "weißen Hexe", in die Kogoro, Ran und Conan hineingezogen werden. Die Auflösung des Falles ist sehr amüsant. Damit ist der Band auch in sich abgeschlossen.
Insgesamt also ein solider Band, der ein paar nette Fälle beinhaltet, aber bis auf den Anfang mit Shinichi nichts wirklich weiter wichtiges für den roten Faden der Story.

Almost perfect untuk Conan yang masih bertahan serinya sampai sekarang. Well, sebenarnya minus untuk cerita Detektif Cilik, saya suka semua kasusnya. Apalagi kalau udah duet sama Heiji dan kekonyolan mereka berdua. Itu benar-benar keren.
Conan punya inti cerita yang bagus tentang komplotan berjubah hitam itu dan ada Sherry alias Ai Haibara yang juga ingin kembali menjadi dewasa lagi. Sayangnya sepertinya Aoyama belum minat mengakhiri Conan. Padahal saya penasaran dengan kerumitan cerita tentang organisasi hitam itu. Well, masih harus sabar nih nunggu sesi begitu...

duh, lagi-lagi Shinichinya harus balik jadi Conan, secepat itu, ngek. *yeayalah, kalo ga balik jadi Conan judul buku ini bukan Detective Conan*
selalu begini deh ya tiap si Conan berubah jadi Shinichi, klimaks yang berakhir anti-klimaks *bingung ga lu*
not much to say. yang jelas, saya masih ngikutin serial ini entah sampai kapan. :p

I’m thrilled to be back reading Case Closed. It’s a pleasure to dive into Conan’s world again, though I’m now a bit more aware of the manga’s recurring weaknesses. Still, I’m committed to continuing—I’m eager to see how the main plot moves forward from here.

Suka banget ama conan yang ini karna ada kemunculan shinichinya, cuma sebentar sih ujung-ujungnya berubah mengecil lagi jadi conan. Tapi ran & shinichi so sweet banget deh disini

Aoyama Gosho; DETECTIVE CONAN [Meitantei Conan #63]
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.63, includes Files 653 - 663
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 review covers both volumes 63 & 64.
Quick recap: When teen genius detective Shinichi Kudou (Jimmy Kudo in the American version) is shrunk to a childlike form in a botched assassination attempt, he takes the name Conan Edogawa and is taken in by bumbling private eye Kogoro Mouri (Richard Moore) and his daughter Ran (Rachel), who happens to be Shinichi’s sweetheart. Conan must hide from the international crime organization that changed him, but also finds himself having to solve crimes, despite the fact that first-graders aren’t supposed to be that great at detection. See my reviews of earlier volumes for more details.
Case Closed Volume 63
In the previous volume, Shinichi had taken an experimental antidote that allows him to assume his normal appearance for a few hours–only to spend most of that time separated from his friends. As Volume 63 opens, he finally has an hour or two to spend with Ran as himself…or he would, except that they’ve stumbled across a man strangled to death while alone in a moving automobile! Can Shinichi solve the crime before he shrinks again?
Then Professor Agasa takes the Detective Boys out for sushi on a revolving conveyor belt, only to have an obnoxious food critic be poisoned right by them.
This is followed by a story that the Americanized names makes not make much sense. Genta Kojima’s (George Kaminski in the dub) father is enrolled in a special televised tournament only for people who write “Kojima” with a specific set of kanji (ideograms). In the English version, it’s a contest for people who spell the name “Kaminski” that way. Conan must figure out which of the contestants murdered the organizer of the tournament and why. He’ll just hope it’s not Genta’s never before seen father!
The last story in the volume is the hunt for the “Silver Witch”, a legendary drift racer. She seems to be back from wherever she disappeared to a few years ago, and luring mountain racers into auto accidents in the fog. Has a big twist at the end!
Case Closed Volume 64
Volume 64 opens with the Detective Boys visiting Horn Rock, an isolated islet shunned by fisherfolk due to bad luck (unless you have a child on board.) They find a scuba diver there, dead of starvation, and a curious inscription she wrote. The complication this time is that they are accompanied not by Professor Agasa, but grad student Subaru Okiya, who is not in on Conan’s secret, and on whom Ai (Anita) sometimes detects the scent of the Black Organization. Is he an enemy, or is there something else going on? This is another case that you need to know kanji to solve.
After that, Kogoro Mouri is called in to help a blind heiress discover which of two scarred men is the boy who saved her life as a child. Making matters more urgent, the police believe the one who’s an impostor may in fact be the Whistling Killer one of the cops managed to scar years before.
Once the mystery of the scarred boy is solved, the story flows into the Whistling Killer case proper. The killer did several murders years ago, but seemingly comes out of retirement to kill a man who taunted him on television. Why now, and what is the significance of the song “Let It Be”?
The final chapter is the setup for a Kaito Kid story. The flashy thief has again challenged Sonoko’s (Serena) wealthy uncle by claiming he will steal something from a supposedly theft-proof safe. Or has he? The challenge letter looks wrong, and Conan smells a rat. Just who is the real villain here? Wait for Volume 64 to find out!
Of these stories, I liked the Whistling Man tale the best as it’s good and atmospheric. The two cases that rely on ideograms for clues suffer badly from the erasure of Japanese language for the American version. There’s no movement on the myth arc, other than the suspicious behavior of Subaru Okiya.
Recommended if you are a fan of the series; more casual fans may want to wait for the next volume that has actual plot developments.

Last volume a man was driving down the road dead and the story had just started as volume 62 ended. This volume picks right up where the previous volume left off. This story was much shorter than I expected it to be, but it was enjoyable and fun. The next story revolves around (literally) a revolving sushi murder case. It involved the Junior Detectives, and it is a fun one as well. I won't say it was deep, but it definitely fit the need for this volume. The next case involves the Junior Detectives and one of the three suspects in the murder is George's Dad!?! The final story deals with Detective Conan and....The Silver Witch of Fuyuna Pass! It is an intriguing story and I find myself shocked a story like this didn't appear before the 63rd volume of Case Closed!
July 29, 2018
I hadn't picked up a volume of this series for awhile, but it's good to see that it's still as enjoyable as ever. This time around, Conan has to solve a murder at a rotating sushi restaurant, possibly implicate a friend's father as a killer, and stop a drag racer of death.
These stories are quick mystery cases, usually finished in a few chapters. As a person who grew up on Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, Sherlock Holmes, and Columbo, just to name a few, this is total catnip for me. The big question was "Are they still good?" and the answer is yes. Fun all around and highly recommended!

Solving a driver alone in a car being strangled to death, Sinichi turns back into Conan. I know the main story line is about a teenager trapped in a child's body, but I like the Sinichi stories, which are far and few. Other stories include a food poisoning mystery in a revolving sushi restaurant and Genta's father is a murder suspect while competing in a competition, as well as another car story about a phantom driver causing accidents.

Street racers, sushi-eating killers, a bogus contest (where we finally meet George's dad!), and a fog bound witch.

Enjoyed as usual
The sushi one was awesome. I felt like using the left handed stuff became a little overplayed in this volume.
