I was so excited to pick up the manga after watching some of the anime and the manga did not disappoint! The mysteries in the first volume were really good and twisty and I enjoyed them very much. There was humor and action as well which really worked great with the pace of the manga.
I am so sad now though cos I never liked the fact that Shinichi got shrunken and he stays shrunken almost ALL the time throughout. I just think it would be more fun if he were a normal high school detective instead of a shrunken high school detective because the story would still have worked.
However, I’m going to put my sadness away and enjoy the rest of the series. There are so many volumes and it’s still ongoing so let’s see how far I make it!

Funny and silly. I enjoy the humor and the short cases within the bigger story but I don't think I'll continue reading the series. Manga isn't for me.
