About the Author
Gosho Aoyama, made his debut in 1992 with CHOTTO MATTE ("Wait a minute") which won Shogakukan's prestigious Shinjin Comic Taisho ("Newcomer's Award for Comics") and launched his career as a critically acclaimed, top-selling manga artist. In addition to DETECTIVE CONAN which won the Shogakukan Award for best Manga in 2001, Aoyama created the popular manga, YAIBA, which won Shogakukan's Award for Manga in 1992. Aoyama's manga is greatly influenced by his boyhood love for mystery, adventure, and baseball and he has cited the tales of Arsene Lupin, Sherlock Holmes, and the samurai films of Akira Kurosawa as some of his childhood favorites.

Series continues its downhill slide.,

This review is from: Case Closed, Vol. 15 (v. 15) (Paperback)
Gosho Aoyama, Case Closed, vol. 15 (ViZ, 1997)
The usual sort of thing; we finish off the cliffhanger from the last volume, get a couple of new cases, then start a new cliffhanger. I'm not sure whether Aoyama just has the shortest attention span I've ever seen, or whether he's really tired of working on the series, but so little goes on in relation to the main story arc-- in fact, it's often used more as an amusing conceit than anything else-- that the series feels less like a manga than a sitcom at times. Still, the cliffhangers are a way of keeping the reader coming back for more, if the crudest one possible. ***

Kind of scary,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Case Closed, Vol. 15 (v. 15) (Paperback)
Well, I think case closed mangas in general are kind of scary. Not that it's bad though. I read case closed a lot. The bad thing is that the Japanese version of them is better. Still over all it is good.
