This volume is very character driven with a clear focus on specific dynamics. It's always a fun time when Eri makes a rare appearance. The relationship between Ran's parents is as good as ever, with their back and forth bickering lending to some wonderful comedic moments. The pairing of Takagi and Sato is also further explored here. Jodie Starling makes her first important appearance and it's done quite well. There's a nice air of mystery around her and it makes for an interesting 'good guy or bad guy' conundrum for first time readers. The cases themselves are pretty standard for Case Closed, and if you've made it this far in chronological order, you know what to expect by now.

No está mal. Un tomo más flojo que los anteriores, pero con el usual guion de Aoyama.
Caso Kogoro Contra el Adulterio: para avanzar la relación de Eri y Kogoro está bastante bien; el resto por ahí anda. Que el asesino se confunda de piso me parece demasiado casual.
Caso Policía Busca Esposa(s): otro más de Takagi-Sato. Se pierde un poco en esa idea de los incendios sin mucha motivación, pero logra ser tenso.
Caso Los Videojuegos Son el Demonio (Engurishu Version): la introducción de Jodie es muy interesante por su parecido con Vermouth y los engaños narrativos de Aoyama. El caso en sí está bien resuelto, guarda cierto interés por la forma en que juega con las máquinas recreativas de su época y avanza mínimamente la trama principal.

*Note this volume ends in a cliffhanger!
I think the first case being a little lackluster of a start for me sort of dragged along the rest of the volume, but the cases in general were still really good! I was sitting at 4/5 but the last one with the kids gave it the extra boost to 5/5. Sometimes I feel like I need to be in the right mood to read these x'D
Case 1: Richard, Rachel, and Conan are enjoying their time at a hotel resort, when surprise, Richard's ex-wife makes an appearance. Things go about how you'd expect, up until there's a murder, and Richard is the only one at the scene of the crime.
Normally locked rooms are fun cases for me, but I guess because we've been here before, and obviously Richard didn't do it, this one wasn't as gripping for me. Though I did enjoy the twist of Eri being the one solving the case. Her working together with Conan was cute. I also thought it was a neat idea to have the murder plan be changed due to the unexpected element of Richard being there.
Case 2: Amy witnesses a strange man walk down the street just as buildings get set ablaze. The Detective Kids reach out to the police to find and stop the serial arsonist. Simultaneously, Sato is in a rush to find her father's killer before the statute of limitations runs out.
I liked the intricacies of this one and how the characters all pieced together their own parts and team-worked it in the end--well, in a way, haha. The story had a time limit, with Sato's father's killer, and Takagi's kidnapping. I loved the scene with Sato where she was great in leading the criminal along as the clock ticked closer and closer to midnight. The artwork with all the fire and smoke in this was also brilliant. Lots of great suspense here! And some twists :o
Case 3: Rachel, Serena, and Conan while out enjoying some free time run into their English teacher from school at a game center. Getting caught up in the fun of the games (and their teacher's obsession with them, haha), they're shocked when one of the gamers there ends up murdered.
Okay but having the American be good at a shooting game is hilarious xD Megure also immediately jumping at the opportunity to show off his English skills was very cute and funny. And the little touch of each chapter title having English furigana was cute! The case itself was an interesting one, with the victim being killed in front of a crowd. The method of murder was unique and interesting too. Though a little lucky on one of the clues ^^; But that's often how it goes, haha.
This case introduces Jodie, who seems to have more going on than meets the eye. I don't recall her on my first read-through many years ago, so I'm excited to see where this goes!
Case 4: The Detective Kids and Dr. Agasa are out in the woods on a mushroom foraging trip. Though Genta's passion for the hunt separates him from the group. They split up searching for him, with Ai and Mitsuhiko stumbling across a dead body, with the shooter right on their trail.
Really loved this one! Sometimes the kids can be hit or miss for me, but this one was great. I loved the fresh outdoor environment, after being in the city for the bulk of the volume, and I loved Ai getting some time to shine. There is definitely some suspense here on who the killer is as they walk amongst the group. We'll have to find out next volume though on who-dun-it!
For Japanese Learners:
Check my previous review on book two for more info. This is a series, so things are gonna be consistent.

Salapoliisi Conan pitää otteessaan ja tarinoiden taso on pysynyt edelleen todella upeana. Rikokset ovat mielenkiintoisia ja lukija pääsee ratkomaan niitä kirjan hahmojen kanssa. Ajoittain vain ongelmaksi muodostuu se, ettei tunne japanilaista kulttuuria tai kirjoitusmerkkejä, jolloin jokin vinkki tai vihje jää ymmärtämättä. Mutta eipä tuo haittaa, koska jokaisen tarinan lopussa paljastuu, miten päätelmät oli tehty ja kuinka rikos oli tapahtunut.
Sinänsä nämä ovat mangan muodossa olevia dekkareita, mutta itselle nämä ovat myös mielenkiintoinen katsaus Japaniin ja japananilaiseen kulttuuriin. Tapahtumat ovat nimittäin arkipäivään sijoittuvia rikoksia, joita päähenkilöt selvittävät. Taustatarina on kyllä aika vahvasti scifiä, mutta väliäkö tuolla. Ollaan sentään mangamaailmassa 😅

In questo ventisettesimo volume di Detective Conan veniamo catapultati in tre casi totalmente differenti. Nella prima storia Goro viene accusato di un crimine che non ha commesso. Grazie all’intuito di Conan e della moglie di Goro, Eri, il vero colpevole verrà a galla. Nella storia successiva invece assistiamo a un crimine in una sala giochi. L’ultimo caso invece vede al centro della casi la love story fra i due poliziotti Sato e Takagi.
Parlare de ventisettesimo volume del manga di Detective Conan non è una genialata (anche se in realtà ogni volume racconta casi diversi e ogni tanto si prosegue con la storia principale). Però volevo dedicare una sorta di “recensione” a questo volume perché alla figura del piccolo detective Conan sono un po’ legato. Ovviamente analizzerò anche alcuni aspetti che mi sono piaciuti e che non mi sono piaciuti di questo volume edito Star Comics.
Inizio questa recensione parlandovi brevemente dei miei pareri su questo volumetto di “Detective Conan”. Leggere i casi di Conan è sempre bello perché riesce a coinvolgerti e a intrattenerti per qualche oretta. È proprio questo il grande pregio di questa serie infinita di manga. Gosho Aoyama e i suoi collaboratori creano ogni volta sempre casi intriganti, mai noiosi e mai banali. Sono capaci di creare casi complessi che mettono il lettore a dura prova il lettore, anche quello più esperto nel risolvere i crimini che legge nei libri. I casi che Conan risolve sono intrigati come quelli scritti da grandi autori del genere come quelli di Doyle e della Christie. Il problema di questa serie è che secondo me alla lunga stanca davvero molto. Questo perché in un volume non vi é un solo caso,ma poi casi che alla fine risultano un po’ troppo ripetitivi e noiosi.
Concludo questa “recensione” parlandovi brevemente di quello che per me è la figura di Conan Edogawa. Conosco il manga, ma soprattutto l’anime di “Detective Conan”, grazie a mia sorella Laura che ne era davvero una fan (tuttora ha molti volumi del manga e quando siamo andati in vacanza in Giappone ha preso qualche gadget a tema). In qualche modo è stata una figura rappresentativa per la mia infanzia, in qualche modo sono cresciuto un po’ con le sue storie e i casi che risolveva. In qualche modo, se non in modo stretto, sono molto legato a tutti i personaggi che compongono il cast dell’anime e del manga.

A quick and enjoyable read. I wouldn't recommend taking this series as a whole too seriously, but if you've made it this far I'm assuming you haven't

Rans Mutter ist sehr sehr toll, aber ihr Vater geht mir immer noch auf den Senkel. Anonsten war der 1. Fall aber mein Liebster in dem Band.
January 26, 2025
Es wird richtig dramatisch, mysteriös und emotional bei Conan und den Fällen, in die er reingerät. Zunächst treffen er, Kogoro und Ran Eri samt Kollegen an einem Badeort, wo natürlich auch wieder ein Mord verübt wird. Aber warum musste Ritsuko, eine Konkurrentin von Eri, sterben und was hat Kogoro damit zu tun ?! Auch danach ist an Ruhe nicht zu denken, als ein Mann Feuer in Tokio legt und Sato einen traumatischen Teil ihrer Vergangenheit erneut durchleben muss. Im dritten Fall bekommen Ran und Sonoko eine neue Englischlehrerin, die es echt drauf hat. Denn nicht nur im Unterrichten ist sie ein Ass, sondern auch in der Spielhalle, in der bei einem Duell ein Mann stirbt. Und zum Schluss geraten im ersten Teil eines neuen Falls Conan und die Detektiv Boys in eine gefährliche Situation als sie im Wald Pilze sammeln wollen.
Meine Meinung:
Kogoro ist immer ein Highlight und in Kombination mit Yamamura ? Das war einfach nur genial und gefiel mir im 27. Band richtig gut. Generell machten die Fälle viel Spaß und obwohl ich sie bereits als Anime kannte, rätselte ich gerne mit und fand sie schön spannend. Es gab neue Entwicklungen bei den Figuren, die interessant waren und gerade die emtionale Vergangenheit von Sato ging wieder unter die Haut.
Im ersten Fall treffen Conan, Kogoro und Ran auf ihre Mutter Eri, die mit anderen Kollegen Urlaub macht. Natürlich geschieht ein Mord und dieses Mal ist der Hauptverdächtige Kogoro, der in einer ganz brenzligen Lage steckt, in der ihn nur seine Frau und Conan rausholen können. Aber er wer hatte es wirklich auf Eris Rivalin Ritsuko abgesehen, die es faustdick hinter den Ohren hatte ? Der Fall war ein emotionales auf und ab und sehr spannend. Die Auflösung hatte ich noch vage im Gedächtnis, konnte aber dennoch überrascht werden. Highlight waren definitiv Kogoro, der mal wieder den Frauenheld spielen musste und der trottelige Inspektor Yamamura, bei dem ich nur den Kopf schütteln konnte. Das Ende fand ich echt süß, auch wenn Kogoro und Eri es mal wieder nicht schafften, richtig miteinander zu kommunizieren.
Im zweiten Fall legt ein Mann immer wieder Feuer in Tokio. Aber nicht nur das beschäftigt Sato, die nicht ganz bei der Sache ist. Der Mord an ihrem Vater hat Jahrestag und nimmt sie emotional mit, wobei Takagi uneabsichtigt auf die Wunde drückt. Und so wird in zwei Fällen ermittelt, die einige Überraschungen bereithalten und gefährlich werden. Mir ging es richtig unter die Haut und nahm mich mit. Es war sehr spannend, wendungsreich und wurde im Finale sehr eng.
Im dritten Fall bekommen Ran und Sonoko eine neue Englischlehrerin aus den USA, die einiges drauf hat, auch als Gamerin und so treffen sie und Conan Jodie in der Spielhalle. Bei einem Duell zwischen zwei Spielern wird einer von ihnen ermordet. Die Einführung dieses neuen Charakters fand ich sehr gelungen und Jodie ist definitiv eine recht interessante Frau. Es war sehr süß, wie sich Megure ihr vorstellte. Der Fall gefiel mir super und ich fand ihn spannend und wendungsreich. Die Auflösung war sehr traurig, auch wenn es natürlich keinen Mord rechtfertigte.
Und der letzte Fall wurde geteilt. Im ersten Teil gehen die Detective Boys mit Agasa Pilze sammeln und geraten in einen neuen Fall, in dem vor allem Mitzuhiko und Ai in große Gefahr geraten. Mir gefiel es sehr gut und es war schön, wie sich die Freundschaft der Kinder sich festigte und Mitzuhiko neue Gefühle entdeckte. Die Geschichte von Jube, dem legendären Bär, fesselte und die Konstellation war interessant.
Der Zeichenstil gefiel mir wieder sehr und ich hatte keine Probleme, dem Geschehen zu folgen. Toll war es, wie genau die Mimik der Charaktere dargestellt wurde und man immer ein gutes Gefühl für den Fall hatte.
Fazit:
Ein schöner Band mit abwechslungsreichen Fällen, der einige Charaktere näher beleuchteten und neue einführte. Die Fälle gefielen mir sehr gut und waren interessant, was auch an Kogoro und Yamamura lag, die mich einfach nur fertig machten, aber im guten Sinn. Die beiden waren ein absolutes Highlight und machten Spaß. Von mir gibt es:
5 von 5 Sterne

I really really liked the first case in this volume! It was nice to see a twist where the "great detective" was the suspect. I've seen it a couple of times in other crime/detective media, where someone on the team is put in a situation where they the suspect, and then the rest of the team has to work to get them out of trouble. In this case, it was a bit different from that. Here we have Shinichi trying to do what he usually does, but then there's the competent Eri (lawyer, kind of wife to Mouri, and mom to Ran), who completely takes over. It was kind of nice to see.
I also mostly enjoyed the second case, but it was weaker than the first case. It felt like two very different cases smashed together, and it didn't quite work.
Lastly, I'm not completely sold on the last case. When a case is heavy on the use of the kid group of characters it's a bit of a 50/50 chance whether I like it or not.

In this volume of Case Closed Detective Moore is the prime suspect in a case and his best hope of staying out of jail is his estranged wife!?! Can everyone work together to keep Detective Moore on the right side of the law? The next case involves murder's that span almost 50 years!!! This is a case passed down from a father (unsolved) to his daughter. Arson seems to be connecting with the murders and the deadline on the statute of limitations is looming ever so close as well. This story seemed very methodical and was a treat to read! The final full story of this volume involves a murder at the arcade. It was a little dryer than I wanted it to be, as a video game fan myself, but still it worked well enough. The cliff-hanger story involves the Junior Detectives. I feel more details are better to give in the next chapter. Good stuff in this volume!

Sato & Takagi FINALLY!
1. the first case was flipping hilarious from beginning till end, the fact that eva (ran’s mom) was involved i was like “YES!”; having moor being the main suspect was a nice change of pace!
2. i loved how in the end Eva (Ran’s mom) recorded mouri’s voice telling her to get back together.
3. the second case (18yearsago) was my top fav; first and foremost my OTP (Sato & takagi)
4. i love how takagi did not shoot the handcuffs since they belonged to sati’s father and i love how there was a resemblance (hence the horoscope and the lucky day)
5. and when Takagi was in the fire i was like NOOOOOOO
6. and sato though he was still there and she screamed his name omg *tears*
7. all in all; lovely volume
8. more mangacaps for Sato & Takagi

case 1: Conan, Ran ansd Kogoro go on a triüp and meet Ran´s mum Eri. One drink leads to the next and Kogoro ends up being a murder suspect. The one who solves the case is not Conan this time...
case 2: Sato´s father was killed on duty years ago. Maybe even though the case expired the murder could be found.
case 3: someone is killed in the middle of a video game battle. But how did the murder do it while noone was there in the moment his avatar stopped moving. And who is this new English teacher in Ran´s class?

First, at a resort, Mori is framed for murder and must rely on his estranged wife Eri (and Conan) to get out of it. Next, with the junior Detective League, Conan is on the hunt for a serial arsonist and Detective Sato's father's killer - one of whom has captured Detective Wataru Takagi. Then Conan solves a case of a gamer being murdered in a busy arcade. Finally, we start the story of the Junior Detectives hunting for mushrooms and coming into hunters, one of whom is a murderer...

The chapters with Eri, Ran's mother, are absolutely fascinating! The women are portrayed as not only beautiful and alluring, but also incredibly talented. Can you even imagine the possibility of Goro and Eri rekindling their romance? And those tricky chapters with Jodie in the game room - who could forget the suspenseful moment when she finally speaks to someone about someone she calls a "rotten apple". It's all so thrilling!
The last chapter ends with a tense cliffhanger!

J'ai bien aimé retrouver dans ce tome les parents de Ran, qui forme un duo détonnant mais attachant. La professeur Jodie m'intrigue également beaucoup : on se doute qu'elle va avoir un impact assez important sur la suite des évènements concernant la condition de Conan, mais lequel ? Ces termes de "Rotten Apple" n'augure rien de bon...
A suivre ! ^^

Un très bon tome avec les histoires suivantes :
- l'affaire de Kogoro suspect d'un meurtre, une affaire que j'apprécie particulièrement
- l'affaire du père de Sato
- l'affaire du meurtre à la salle d'arcade avec l'arrivée de Jodie
- le début de l'affaire de la cueillette des champignons, une affaire que j'aime bien aussi

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.27, includes Files 264 - 273
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!

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.27, includes Files 264 - 273
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.

In this book, we get back to the murders - one at a hotel, one at the scene of an arson, one in an arcade and one in the hunting grounds of a forest.
The first story in this book, I love because it really shines a spotlight on the relationship between Mouri and his estranged wife Eri (Ran's mom). They fight a lot, and you can definitely see why they're split up - especially when Mouri gets totally drunk and flirts with one of Eri's coworkers. But when that coworker ends up dead and Mouri's found asleep in the room with her, we really see how much they trust and care about one another, and that scene at the end... oh man, Mouri, you're breaking my heart. :)
In the next case, we get another story with detectives Sato and Takagi, as the police are on the trail of an arsonist who's apparently killed at least one person who saw him. They are interviewing Ayumi, who they believe saw the arsonist, when a call comes in and the police head to the scene. On the way, Sato reveals that it's the anniversary of her father's death. He died in the line of duty, trying to bring a murder suspect in, and only a few scattered clues remain as to who did it. No one's been able to figure out the logic train he used or who the suspect was. But Sato does remember that on the day it happened, her father was without his handcuffs, which is possibly why the culprit was hard to keep ahold of. So when Takagi mentions that he doesn't have his handcuffs with him, she gives him hers - which are actually the pair her father had forgotten that fateful day.
While we don't get too deep into who Sato is as a person, we do get to see her in full swing as a detective and cop, and her self-assurance is a joy to read. I really like this character, can you tell? And while I'm not a big fan of romance and such, the shifting relationships between some of the adult characters in this series, especially early, are some of my favorites to read.
Meanwhile in the arcade a few days later, Sonoko and Ran run into one of their teachers, Jodie from America, playing video games and totally owning at them. While they're being impressed by her, a player at a fighting game turns up dead. It's a good intro to Jodie, and also just a clever mystery imo.
And finally, we get the first half of a story where the kids and Agasa go looking for mushrooms. When George goes missing, Conan and Ayumi and then Ai and Mitsuhiko pair off to go look for him. Conan's group finds him. Ai's group finds a body and get shot at by a hunter. It's kind of fun to see Ai and Mitsuhiko trying to alert the others to the danger without Conan's big brain to help them.

A LOCKED-ROOM MURDER AND ERI’S DECEPTION
Eri and four fellow lawyers gather for a meeting, but the night takes a deadly turn when one of them is found murdered in her locked bedroom. To make matters worse, a drunken Kogoro was asleep in the room, making him the prime suspect. Determined to clear his name, Eri pretends to believe he is guilty to mislead the real murderer. With Conan’s sharp deductions and Eri’s strategic deception, they set a clever trap to force the true culprit into revealing their crime.
FIRE AND JUSTICE – SATO’S RACE AGAINST TIME
A dangerous serial arsonist is setting the city ablaze, and Detectives Sato and Takagi, along with the Detective Boys, are on the case. But the stakes are even higher for Sato—today marks the deadline for solving her father’s murder, or the bank robber responsible will walk away with the stolen money. As she juggles both investigations, tragedy strikes when Takagi is attacked by the arsonist. Can Sato find the connection between the fires and the past crime before it’s too late?
DEADLY GAME AT THE ARCADE
A trip to the arcade takes a shocking turn when Ran, Sonoko, and Conan meet their high school English teacher, Jodie Starling, an avid gamer. Jodie introduces Ran to a cutting-edge virtual reality fighting game, but the fun ends when a skilled player dies mid-match, his avatar freezing on the big screen at the peak of battle. The police narrow the suspects to four: his gaming rival, an employee, a middle-aged man, and even Jodie herself. As Conan investigates, he must uncover how the murder was committed in plain sight—and who had the motive to kill.

By now, most people know what to expect when reading a volume of Case Closed. Crime is committed, suspects are named, boy tranqs someone, and the case is solved. That in itself is not a mark against this series. My main problem after 27 or so volumes is the fact that this series is basically stuck in neutral, cranking volume after volume, without really making any serious progress to the core plot. It's like Heroes or Lost at season 2 where with the it initial popularity, made the networks go insane with trying to stretch that midas touch story into infinity if possible. Of course, Case Closed is different in that its structure is episodic in nature that can support such 'stretches' longer without much problem. But after 27 volumes, its really starting to feel its age and redundancy. Crimes are getting more absurd, evil criminals now are blatantly obvious (the sinister shifty eyes and pointed nose), while crimes of reason are getting less and less relevant (killed to protect hometown, killed to protect sister, killed to avenge family/finance/murder). At least with this volume, it looks like a new character is introduced that has some connections to the main plot. Even though she is filled with the usual stereotypes regarding Americans (blond, promiscuous, good with guns, and high praise of Japan).
Still I read on, in hopes of the series making a big advancement in plot, and because it's easy for a short read :-)
