Favorite Case: Hatamoto Family Case
Having a lot of false evidences lead you conveniently to a suspect from the very start, chances are that suspect isn't the real culprit. And that was what happened in this case. It was actually a smooth move to have Ichiro as the culprit. I know that a lot of times, the ones who seem unlikely to do the crime ended up being the culprit. Yes, he has his own motive, but it appeared not strong enough to kill his grandfather. And since money was a real deal in the family, you would think that money was linked to the real motive. But just like what Conan had said, he indeed dug his own grave with his last move. He thought that by stabbing himself, it would make him less suspicious and more a victim, but it was what made him more rooted as the culprit. But if it weren't because of Conan's deductions, I can never link all the three incidents with each other to know who did it.
In The Monthly Presents Case, I remember how suspicious Ran was about Conan's identity. It was just a really small case. I think it was made like that just to remind us that Conan was actually Shinichi and we should never forget about it. Sometimes that reminder would surfaced whenever the Black Organization was mentioned but a lot of times it was not. I mean, all the time it was about Conan solving the cases and as a great amount of time passed by, we were getting too familiar with the image of the child doing all the work that we seemed to forgot that he was actually in the middle of his own case as well. That he was actually a teenager stuck in a child's body. It was just great to see that there's at least one person that was able to see even just a small shadow of the truth about Conan's identity.

I really liked this one! The plot on the ship with the Hatamoto Family had me not able to put this volume down!
I enjoy that the only way for Conan to keep his secret identity from Rachel is basically making this series count as science fiction. It wouldn't make sense for Rachel with a life long friendship and crush on Jimmy not to be more worried or suspicious if he couldn't use the convenient inventions of his mad scientist neighbor.
Okay that was a fun read. it will be interesting to see what happens next.
Case Closed volume three continues to follow the story of Conan Edogawa as he tries to find the men who shrunk his body as well as avoid anyone finding out his true identity as Jimmy Kudo, high school detective. Will he ever get closer to regaining his old body? Has Ran/ Rachel worked out who Conan really is? Will detective Mouri ever be right about who the killer is? All to be revealed in the series.
This volume was a considerable improvement on the second one. Not only were both mysteries pretty good but none of the annoying characters appeared.
There were two mysteries in this volume. The first one went for seven chapters and the other one went for the last three. The first one was essentially a closed circle serial killer case on a rich families boat. It was fairly unpredictable and it was never entirely clear what was going on. I vaguely did remember this case from my first read through but only snippets. This, out of all the cases i have read so far in this re-read, is my favourite. The second one was more of a mysterious incident then murder and found Conan, Ran and, Mouri investigating mysterious deliveries to a surgeon. Again this was fairly unpredictable and only towards the very end did i manage to work out what was going on. This was one of the more simple cases so far but also a fairly fun one.
There were no new characters introduced this volume. Instead the main characters introduced previously were further developed and fleshed out a bit more. It is also the first time Ran gets suspicious of Conan's true identity.
Overall really enjoyed this volume and had trouble finding issues with it. Looking forward to seeing how the plot unfolds and what other cases are coming up.
4.9/5

He's at it again, helping the P.I. solve two cases. One on a ship, where the clues formed together slowly. The other on land involving a child. These illustrations definitely feel nostalgic.
