4.0 out of 5 stars
Love it!, March 10, 2008
This review is from: Case Closed, Vol. 9 (Paperback)
Gosho Aoyama, Case Closed, vol. 9 (ViZ, 2004)
I admit to some prejudice here-- this volume of the manga contains the storyline that got my daughter and I watching the anime last year-- but despite this one being the same brand of episodic, not terribly well-plotted stuff as the last two volumes, I liked it better. Three stories here. First, a Junior Detective League story, in which Amy is inadvertently kidnapped and the others have to rescue her using Doc's turbocharged skateboard, more of an action comic than the usual mystery. Second, the wrestling team reunion story that got us watching the anime-- Richard's old high school wrestling team gets together, and one of the commits suicide-- or does she? Last, a girl's twenty-fourth birthday party goes horribly wrong when she goes missing and one of the guests turns up dead. Not too shabby, this one. I'm hoping that means it's getting back on track. ****
