This is a quick and fun read. The mysteries aren't super fun and if the anime is any indication they will only get crazier and more outlandish.

Di volume 2 ada 3 kasus. Udah ada nih petunjuk buat BO, emang ktanya dulu gk akan dibuat serial panjang, ya. Makanya sat set. Walopun klo dipikir2 petunjuk Akemi tuh ambigu dan bikin Conan jdi cocoklogi, wkwk. Untung aja cocokloginya bener. Di awal2 berarti BO ini sibuk ya ke sama ke mari. Yg skrang2 lama bgt munculnya klo soal BO ini.

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

4.0/5

I think it's a great idea to introduce some Conan's friends who also like adventures and investigation work.

Jimmy, aka Conan, finds himself helping solve two mysteries in this volume. One is actually brought to him by his fellow elementary students as a haunted house. I'd forgotten how intricate these mysteries were.

Detektif Conan Volume 02

“Dari dulu kamu begitu. Walaupun pandai, jika tidak bertindak hati-hati, belum bisa dikatakan sebagai detektif hebat!”—Profesor Agasha.

By Aoyama Gosho
4.5 for 5 stars

Penerbit : Elex Media Komputindo
Penerjemah : M. Gunarsah
Tebal halaman : 172 halaman
Tahun terbit : 1997, Cetakan pertama
ISBN : 979-637-834-5

Now, He has to arrange what will he do to catch the culprit.

Awal volume 02 ini menampilkan Conan yang terpaksa menjadi murid kelas 1 SD lagi. Lucu juga sih lihatnya. Aku ngelihat Conan itu kayak lihat Holmes. Sama-sama sombong gitu. Untungnya sama-sama pinter. Hadeuh.

Oke, sedikit spoiler, di volume kali ini muncul salah satu tokoh penting untuk keberlangsungan Detektif Conan seterusnya. Siapa lagi kalau bukan Akemi Miyano. Wow. Aku baru sadar kalau Akemi munculnya di volume 02. Kupikir masih nanti-nanti. *ketahuan dulu bacanya ekspress, hehe.
