Ratings and reviews

I became addicted to this book when it was an anime on Cartoon Network. The stories are well thought out, pull you in, and make you exercise "the little grey cells" (Hercules Poirot). There were only 130 television episodes dubbed into English, but there are now about 50 books available. If you are a fan of Doyle, Christie, or just enjoy a good page turning mystery I highly recommend this series. Because after all "only one truth prevails" (Conan Edogawa)!

Am in love with this book i give every volume full star cant stop reading it xx $_$

Fell in love with the show when I was little, so stoked to finally read the manga!

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 Manga Award in 2001, Aoyama created the popular manga Yaiba, which won the Shogakukan Manga Award 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 and Sherlock Holmes and the samurai films of Akira Kurosawa as some of his childhood favorites.
