~3.5/5
Every time I get a new volume of this series, I'm reminded why I like it so much. And it really just makes me want to catch up on the anime or manga, which I'm so behind on both of.
At the start of the volume, we're in a case about the Moonlight Magician, who I believe is a thief that Conan has run into several times before. He's just as smart as Conan, and while Conan seems to figure out his tricks, he still hasn't quite won their competition. I like the Moonlight Magician quite a lot, though. He challenges Conan more than most people.
Next there's a case about this snobby guy who dies when his car explodes. This goes on for a couple of chapters, and it's obvious from early on who it is. There's this other kid here, though, Anita, who I don't remember but is I guess staying with Doctor Asegawa, and she seems smart for her age but she dislikes Conan.
Before the cliffhanger, there's a short mystery about these paper airplanes with Morse code on them. Conan, as Jimmy, goes against this guy staying in Jimmy's house. Mostly, I liked seeing how Conan worked to make sure that Rachel was safe, and how worked up he got. They're so cute.
While I do quite love this series, no matter how cheesy it is, I do wish that Conan would turn back into Jimmy. I understand that that's the main tension and it's so played up that they would want to end the series with it. But I would like to see mysteries with Jimmy as the main character, and see his relationship with Rachel. I'm a fan of them.

At last a Kid heist! And it was such a good one too— super clever. My brain was hurting trying to figure it out. It was satisfying to read and came together perfectly at the end.
The other cases were all pretty good too. They just didn’t hit as hard as the heist. Though, I’m gonna be really paranoid about static shocks in the future now.

Caso Kaito Kid se Ha Pasado el Platino de Molarismo: uno de esos casos por los que merece la pena leer esta serie. Personalmente, diría que es mi encuentro favorito de Conan y Kaito Kid por su tensión, la inteligencia y los entretenidísimos duelos de mentes. La localización de Planeta (siempre espectacular, aunque la maquetación y la ortografía dejen mucho que desear) ha hecho, por una vez, que me cueste creerme el escondite de Kaito. Con todo, nada que achacarle a un caso con tantas fases y que demuestra la falibilidad de Kaito en ciertos contextos.
Caso El Roce Hace el Cariño: otro caso realmente bueno. Parte de una premisa creíble, la asesina ha intentado el método numerosas veces antes de que funcione (cosa que siempre añade puntos de credibilidad) y Conan se hace tanto el tonto al final que le quiero fuerte.
Casokiya vs. Conan (Airplanes Edition): al igual que los otros dos casos, es bastante bueno. A veces, el código puede ser un poco enrevesado, pero tiene sentido por la situación en que se encuentra la víctima. De nuevo, tanto la localización como el duelo de mentes son un portento.
Caso ¿A Alguien le Importa Azusa?: una lástima que el tomo cierre con un caso más flojo. La foto del hermano es exageradamente conveniente y, en general, me ha dado todo bastante igual. Aun así, no deja de ser estándar.
