Gōshō Aoyama’sCase Closedhas been serialized in Shogakukan’s Weekly Shōnen Sunday since January 1994, and has since been collected into 106 volumes to date,making it one of the longest-running manga in history. The story follows 17-year-old Shinichi Kudō, a brilliant teenage detective who has helped the police solve all kinds of cases, but one day finds himself embroiled in a major conspiracy when he overhears members of a crime syndicate known as the Black Organization and is force-fed an experimental drug in order to kill him.
The drug instead reverts him to the physical state of an eight-year-old, after which he dons the alias Conan Edogawa, hides his true identity and moves into the home ofhis childhood friend, Ran Mori, daughter of private detective Kogoro Mori. As Conan, Shinichi tags along Kogoro’s various cases and ultimately solves them with the help of his father figure Dr Agatha, while also secretly trying to dig up more information on the organization that tried to have him killed. VIZ Media has licensed an English release of the manga under the title “Case Closed”.
