Detective Conan 21
Posted: February 3, 2008 Filed under: Case Closed 2 Comments »Um. Gosho Aoyama said something in his author notes in the last volume that made me think that Shinichi would once again be himself, at least for a little bit, in this volume. I was very disappointed, though yes, he does “appear” in this volume. You cheated, Gosho Aoyama.
Aside from that case, we get two other sort of long cases. The one at the end of the last volume continues to this one and winds up being pretty long. It gets pretty good as Conan, Professor Agasa, and the Detective Boys are sort of picked off one by one by whoever is crazily stalking the mansion looking for treasure.
The second major case in the volume is another of the type I like, which means that you sort of know who the killer is right away (in this case, you don’t see him commit the crime, but he’s fairly obvious about things) and the rest of the case is spent trying to pin it on him through a series of mistakes the person made.
The last chapter is a case with Heiji that carries over into the next volume.
Bleh, I never was a fan of this particular series. I like that it was a mystery sort of thing because I’m into things like that but other then that, didn’t interest me at all.
I like the mysteries, but I love the characters a lot. This was a rare case where I saw the anime before I read the manga, and I was totally smitten with the two main characters by the time I started reading. Even though it doesn’t happen very often, I love any hint of romance between the two, and I really hope that the main character gets to turn back into his regular body more often as the series goes on. Though… that seems like it’s not the case, unfortunately.
