Calling all Wannabee detectives . . .,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Case Closed, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
Of course there is a lot of comedy and a lot of romance and back story but the part that I find really interesting are the cases. This is about 16/17 year old Jimmy Kudo one of the greatest detectives you can think of. You can not beleive the cases he can solve! After witnessing a crime these men in black give him a poison that should kill him but it shrinks his body into that of a 6 year old. Until he can find the men in black that shrunk him, he (taking on the alias of "Conan" since if the men find out his real idenity they will kill him and the ones around him,) solves these ridiculusly hard cases. If Sherlock Holmes was alive he would struggle to solve them! Conan is put under the care of Jimmy's wannabe girlfriend and her 'stupid', 'not perceptive' detective father and Conan/Jimmy solves the cases for him. In the first volume the cases he solves are hard but relativly simple, but later on they have these cases that even if the pulprit walked around with a sign saying he did it, you couldn't sove them. One word, Amazing!

Sherlock ain't got nothing on Jimmy.,
By Kellie "k-chan" (Cameron, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Case Closed, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
Jimmy Kudo, a 2nd year high school student, is best known for his deductive skill, enough so, he's even called the best detective in all of East Japan.
After Rachel, Jimmy's childhood friend and daughter of the retired Detective Richard Moore, scores well in the Karate Tournament, he takes her to Tropical Land to celebrate, unbeknownst of the trouble that awaits. After solving a case, with no toruble whatsoever, Jimmy tails a couple of suspicious men in black. He watches over an illegal transaction and is soon knocked out and slipped a secret poison, which turns him small. Jimmy creates the alias "Conan Edogawa" and stays with Rachel and Richard, in hopes of finding information on the drug and men that shrunk him. Will Conan turn back to his original form? Do Rachel and Richard know about this change? How will he go about solving cases as a 1st grader? Who exactly were these men in black and why do they have a drug with the ability to shrink one's body? All this and more answered in the mystery novel, Case Closed.

Got a Mystery? The Preschool Prodigy is on the Case!,
This review is from: Case Closed, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
What happens when you mix a pre-school body with a high schooler's mind? A really weird person (really close), nope! A super ace detective who has to hide his talents because he's staying at his best friend from High School's house? Yes.
When High School detective and prodigy, Jimmy Kudo involves himself too far into a mystery of two men wearing black, he ends up being turned into a tiny preschooler with a high schooler's mind. To cover up his flaw and to keep his friends safe, Jimmy must pretend to be the preschooler he turned into and stay at his best friend, Rachel's house under the name "Conan Edogawa". Throughout the series, the hilarity of Jimmy's failed attempts to conceal his high school self rise as do Rachel's suspicions about Conan's (Jimmy's) similarities to Jimmy. In addition to that problem, Jimmy can't keep his head out of a mystery even as a little kid, bringing him into deeper trouble with Rachel's father, Detective Richard Moore. The bloody assasinations, stabbings, head chopping, impaling, poisoning, dismemberment, drownings, and more show up to block Jimmy's way to finding the cure that will return him to normal, in the meantime, Conan (Jimmy) has to keep Rachel from worrying about his other self, and keep her from knowing the truth of how he became small. This is an excellent series for all manga fans or mystery fans, it's funny, suspenseful, (and gory for anyone with action issues. I highly reccomend anyone to read this book and the rest of the series if they want action, jokes, mystery, a little bit of love and wit. The Best Mystery Manga ever!
