I wanna be a child again and wait for Conan to find the Black Syndicate while not doing my homework. My job prospects are awful but this manga is so good, it only comes second to the fruit.

Lanjut ngulang baca vol. 2
Conan mulai dekat dengan anak-anak kelas 1 SD. Kasusnya masih sederhana gitu sih tapi Conan sudah mulai dibekali Prof. Agasa kacamata pelacak dan gesper fleksibel.

Kawanan Si Jubah Hitam muncul lagi tapi sekelebat, masih samar.

Der zweite Band der Conan Serie.
Wieder warten einige schwierige Fälle auf Conan und so versucht er nebenbei zwischen dem Ausprobieren von neuen tollen Gadgets und dem Lösen von Detektivfällen von Kogoro Mori seine Tarnung aufrecht zu erhalten, indem er wie ein normales Kind in die Grundschule geht. Hier ergibt sich der erste Fall für ihn und seine neuen Freunde.
Mir hat der Band noch besser gefallen als der erste und ich freue mich bereits auf die weiteren Teile, Band Nummer 3 steht schon in meinem Bücherregal bereit :)

Ha! Wer hätte das gedacht! Mein allererstes Manga! :D

Okay this is going to be a fun review.

This is the second volume of the English translation of detective Conan. the only real difference between this volume and the Japanese version is that the character names for major characters are Americanised (e.g. Ran= Rachel, Shinichi=Jimmy). This volume continues to follow Conan's adventures as he tries to regain his teenage body (Shinichi/ jimmy). the mysteries are still interesting, the characters are still fun and people get suspicious about Conan's true identity.

The cases in this volume are okay. The first two cases were fairly fun. The first case involved a known killer with an alibi trick. This was fun reading since the trick behind the murder is not entirely obvious and i was still trying to work it out right to the start of the big reveal where it got explained. The second case was the first proper black organisation case. the mystery itself was bizarre but towards the end was possible to solve due to hints dropped. This case was made interesting by the fact that we found out a bit more about the villain group as well as helped reinforce how dangerous they were. The third case really dragged the rating down. the mystery itself was pretty obvious from the first chapter and the characters involved just annoyed me.

The characters in this volume are mixed. We have a fair few returning characters from Conan and ran to the men in black. The new characters just didn't work for me. I think they are there so Conan has friends his age but the three of them (genta, mitsuko and ayumi) are all super annoying and just seem to get in the way of most of the other main characters. They also appear quite regularly and the cases they get involved in are usually ridiculous and predictable but on occasion they are not too bad.

Over all a not to bad volume with a few interesting twists. Should be interesting to see where the next volume takes the story and what reveals come next.

Pros:
Black organisation case
More info on black organisation revealed
Two fairly good cases

Cons:
Introduction of future detective boys/ case
The last case was fairly easy to work out

The ghost house was pretty cool, the rest sorta meh. I like it much more to have Conan solve cases with kids instead of adults. The art style is cool, yet a bit overdramatized.
