Caso Shiratori Ya No Es Gilipollas: es una lástima que Aoyama haya tenido que introducir otra trama romántica para hacer algo con Shiratori, pero me gusta cómo reescribe a su personaje y el caso es bastante decente. No me creo mucho el método ni me gusta que esa idea de "la gente cambia" se rompa con la llegada de Kobayashi.

Caso Kichiemon Debía de Ser Tope Divertido: un caso entretenido, bien pensado y con un buen duelo de mentes que se rompe cuando se descubre quién estaba detrás de los Detectives Juveniles.

Caso En Japón Solo Hay Hinchas: un poco absurdo y una prueba más de que la relación de Heiji y Kazuha no va a ninguna parte.

As is usually the case, volume 66 completes the previous books mystery and ends with a murder for another mystery.

This particular volume has a nice mix of murder mystery and non-deadly cases. There's also a mystery that requires knowledge of Japanese history and language, but for the most part this one translates well for Americans who know nothing about Japan. Three mysteries were completed in this volume, as well as the previously mentioned completed case from the last volume and the first chapter of a new mystery.

There are no story-progressing mysteries this time around, but these ones were different than past fair and made for a nice change of pace.

The Jr. Detective League is always cute and fun, and I liked the case of the haunted warehouse. It's also always nice to see Harley and Kazuha. The real gem here, though, was getting the sweet backstory for Santos, why he joined the police force, and why he's been going after Sato. I loved getting to know and appreciate him more as a character!

Der 66. Band schließt nahtlos an den 65. an und beendet den dort angefangenen Fall. Die "Strategie der leeren Festung" fand ich sehr spannend und kannte ich so noch nicht. Auf jeden Fall ein gelungener Streich.

Danach geht es weiter mit den Detektive Boys und einem Mord und anschließend mit einem kniffligen und interessanten Rätsel. Der Mordfall war ziemlich leicht zu durchschauen, das Rätsel hingegen jedoch spannend und amüsiert und unterhält sehr gut.

Meine Lieblingsfigur Heiji hat auch ihren Auftritt im anschließenden Fall. Ich muss sagen, dass ich den etwas langweilig fand, aber auch nicht schlecht.

Zum Abschluss gibt es noch ein Kapitel eines neuen Falles, der aber erst in Band 67 fortgesetzt wird.

Insgesamt kein Meilenstein bei Detektiv Conan, aber auch nicht schlecht. Es gibt gute Unterhaltung und ein zwei paar Szenen. Im Großen und Ganzen kann man also nicht meckern, auch wenn das gewisse Etwas diesmal fehlte.

I'm really enjoying the cases in this volume as well as those in the recent ones. It’s refreshing to see Aoyama branching out with more diverse arcs. The introduction of new characters, like Santos and his childhood crush, makes it even better—they’re so likable!

This volume picks up right where the last one left off…and if it has been sometime between readings I would recommend going back to volume 65 for a refresher as this one jumps right into the story. The story involves a murder and there are three potential suspects (possibly a fourth) and the resolution is very satisfying in my opinion. The next case has the Junior Detectives going to the movies and bumping into Inspector Santos. We get a brief backstory on him and how he was motivated to get into police work. He then ends up at the movies with a stranger who needs some help. Upon going to her apartment a body is found! So begins the latest case for Detective Conan. The next story within this volume leads right from the occurrences of last volume and has the Junior Detectives and Inspector Santos again in the story….this time in search of treasure!?! The next story of this volume involves Harley and I must say the coolest thing about this volume is characters from the previous story slide right into the spotlight in the next story. I don’t think I have seen this technique done elsewhere and definitely not as consistent in other volumes of Case Closed, but this was a nice treat for the readers. There is a missing charm and the detectives (Harley and Conan) are on the case! But this seemingly light case turns terrible when they both stumble upon a crime. The final story of this volume is a cliffhanger and so you will not know how the story goes unless you pick up volume 67 of the long running series Case Closed!

The red wall killer mystery is resolved. Conan and his detective boys group compete to solve a warehouse mystery where it appears full of treasure one minutes and completely empty the next. Heiji and Kazuha show up trying to recover a mistakenly given charm she made that contains a secret she would rather not reveal to Heiji, but they (and Conan, Ran and Mori) become involved in solving an assault on the guy who has the charm. Finally, we start the murder investigation of a woman in goth! Fun volume, I always like the Heiji stories.

I technically haven’t finished the volume, but I’ll save that last chapter for when I can buy the next volume so I can read the case in its entirety without having to refresh my brain on it.

One Word Rec.: READ

Rating: 5 🔍🔍🔍🔍🔍

Aoyama Gosho; DETECTIVE CONAN [Meitantei Conan #66]

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.66, includes Files 686 - 696

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!

Kisah pada seri ini diawalai dengan kelanjutan kasus di seri sebelumnya. Yaitu tentang kasus pembunuhan Shusaku Akashi dalam keadaan duduk di kursi yang dipaku ke lantai dan dihadapannya membentang tembok yang di cat dengan warna merah. Benarkah ini adalah pesan yang ditinggalkan oleh korban menjelang kematian? Ataukah ada twist lain yang ternyata tidak sesederhana seperti yang diperkirakan semua orang? Di seri ini akan ada penyelesaian dari kasus tersebut. Triknya kompleks tapi tidak sulit dipahami. Penyelesaiannya cukup menarik dengan memanfaatkan tipu daya untuk memancing pelakunya.

Kasus kedua nampaknya akan diwarnai kisah cinta masa lalu yang bersemi kembali. Kali ini yang akan menjadi tokoh asmara sentralnya adalah detektif Shiratori. Dikisahkan detektif Shiratori kembali terkenang akan kejadian di masa kecilnya ketika dia bertemu dengan seorang anak perempuan yang berhasil membuatnya jatuh cinta. Namun karena terpisah, Shiratori tidak tahu lagi keberadaan dan identitas gadis kecil di masa lalunya itu. Di tengah kegalauannya, dia terlibat dalam sebuah kasus pembunuhan yang akan berujung pada terbukanya kembali kenangan masa lalu yang menyebabkan perasaan dilematis ketika memecahkan kasus pembunuhan itu. Akankah Shiratori mampu menyelesaikan kasus itu dengan mengabaikan perasaannya? Jelas ending dari kasus ini akan berakhir mengejutkan. Hanya saja ada sedikit plot hole di kisah ini. Misalnya bagaimana sang pelaku memindahkan topi ke orang di sebelahnya tanpa ada seorangpun yang duduk di belakangnya menyadari hal itu?

Kasus ketiga adalah kasus yang melibatkan penyelidikan para detective boys mengenai misteri gudang yang misterius. Salah seorang teman Mitsuhiko mengatakan bahwa dia menemukan sebuah gudang yang tadinya nampak berisi banyak sekali harta dan perabotan mewah. Dia melihatnya melalui jendela gudang yang letaknya di atas. Namun setelah diperiksa melalui pintu depan, ternyat gudang itu kosong. Menurut mitos, ada monster gudang rakus yang memakan seluruh harta yang di taruh di gudang itu. Penyelidikan ini akan seru karena conan akan bersaing dengan teman-teannya sendiri untuk memecahkan kasus itu. Analisisnya ternyata akan mengantarkannya pada kasus yang lebih besar daripada sekedar trik yang ada dalam gudang itu sendiri.

Kasus keempat akan kembali menyajikan sedikit kisah asmara. Kali ini yang diceritakan adalah kisah cinta Kazuha dan Hattori. Kisahnya dimulai ketika Kazuha berusaha menemukan seorang pemain tenis yang memesan sebuah jimat kepada Kazuha. Karena Kazuha tidak bisa menyerahkan jimat yang sudah dibuat untuk petenis itu, Hattori yang mengambilkannya dari tas Kazuha. Namun ternyata Hattori salah mengambil. Yang diserahkan justru jimat milik Kazuha yang menyimpan sedikit kenangan romantis di antara keduanya. Terang saja Kazuha ingin jimat itu kembali. Pencariannya justru akan mengantarkannya pada kasus penganiayaan terhadap sang petenis itu. Di sini juga ada beberapa plot hole diantaranya adalah cara analisis untuk menyaring tersangka yang nampaknya kurang masuk akal. Twistnya juga agak terasa kurang. Dan kisah cintanya tidak berakhir dengan romantis.

Kasus kelima adalah kasus yang berakhir bersambung di seri ini. Yaitu tentang pembunuhan seorang wanita yang memakai kostum goth-lili. Tadinya dia terlihat sedang menunggu seseorang di sebuah restoran. Namun karena terlalu lama, wanita itu keluar untuk ke toilet. Ketika orang yang ditunggunya datang, wanita berpakaian goth-lili itu malah tidak kembali lagi. Dan belakangan mayatnya ditemukan di sebuah toilet umum. Mari kita tunggu kelanjutan ceritanya di seri berikutnya.

Membaca ulang komik yang ini karena penasaran dengan kelanjutan kasus dinding merah dari Conan sebelumnya. Di sini saya kembali terpesona dengan Sensei Aoyama Gosho yang luar biasa detail dalam memikirkan cerita Conan. Dalam kasus hilangnya jimat Kazuha, ada bagian kecil saat Ran mengingat Conan pernah memegang pecahan borgol jimat saat Conan ditusuk. Padahal sidik jari Shinichi lah yang ditemukan di pecahan borgol tersebut. Detail mengenai Conan memegang pecahan borgol mungkin digambarkan satu frame saja, tapi saya tak menyangka Aoyama Gosho ternyata menggunakan detail tersebut untuk kasus lainnya di volume mendatang.

Of course my favourite chapter in this volume is about Detective Shiratori's first love. But, is she really a murderer? Oh, I wish she's not. And yes, she's really really not a murderer. She's another girl. She is Ms Kobayashi, our nice teacher. Congratulation Detective Shiratori.

Shiratori ketemu sama cewek di bioskop yang mirip sama cewek masa kecilnya. Eh ternyata itu cewek bioskop justru ngejadiin Shiratori sebagai saksi alibi kasus pembunuhan. Ternyata justru cewe bioskop itu pelakunya wakaka.
