Case Closed, Vol. 84

Can Detective Conan crack the case…while trapped in a kid’s body?

When ace high school detective Jimmy Kudo is fed a mysterious substance by a pair of nefarious men in black—poof! He is physically transformed into a first grader. Until Jimmy can find a cure for his miniature malady, he takes on the pseudonym Conan Edogawa and continues to solve all the cases that come his way.

Step back in time and watch Jimmy Kudo solve a murder at an aquarium—and deduce that something is fishy with Rachel—in one of his greatest cases. Then the Junior Detective League flies a kite—straight into danger!

Meanwhile, Amuro, a.k.a. Bourbon, displays an uncanny talent for showing up exactly where Conan doesn’t want him. The two match wits over a poisonous tea party, then go for extra credit by investigating the attempted murder of a schoolteacher. Conan suspects the dashing but deadly Man in Black isn’t exactly what he seems…

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.
