Inside Flap: Aoyama here. I got a new computer put in my workplace. Of course, it's a PC 9821 Xt!! It's fast, clever, convenient, and lovable. Huh? Why isn't it a Mac? You idiot, Japanese always use Windows 98!! (I wonder!)
Back: I won't lose to any big guys because my body is small! ...Is what I like to boast, but right now I'm in big trouble: the masked man has got me cornered!! But using my prided intellect, I'll escape somehow, and reveal their identities for all to see. The great little detective, Edogawa Conan, is me!!
Back Flap: Aoyama Goshou's Illustrated Book of Great Detectives #6 - Kindaichi Kousuke - A grudge from the past, a cursed family line, and a string of bizarre serial murders... means the introduction of the Kindaichi Kousuke you all know!! That odd name was supposedly taken from the famous alternate history author, Prof. Kindaichi Kyousuke... After quitting college, he went to America and solved some cases he came across in San Francisco by chance, then, when given the opportunity, he returned to Japan to open a detective agency. With his wrinkled kimono and too-small sandals, rubbing his shaggy hair, he doesn't appear to be very reliable at first glance, but on the contrary, he uses his appearance to ease the wariness of his company, which is very useful for his detective lifestyle. Kindaichi, accompanied by Inspector Todoroki, whose favorite phrase is "I've got it!", uses his original style of investigation and intuition to bring cases full of tangled human relations to light! When I was a child, I sprained my neck pretending to be him, but I won't go into that... (My recommendation is Gokumontou, "Gokumon Island")
Summary of events up to this point: The great high school detective Kudou Shinichi was fed a special kind of a poison by a shady organization that shrunk his body! To hide his identity, he takes up the name "Edogawa Conan" and moves into his girlfriend Mouri Ran's house, the Mouri Detective Agency. He even goes to school to complete the disguise. He also acts in the shadows for the bumbling detective Mouri Kogorou, solving difficult cases and tracking down the organization's men in black. But one day, a masked man and a creepy woman pretending to be his "mother" appear. They appear to be from the organization, have some of the poison with them, and are planning another crime. He attempts to track them down to stop their plan and acquire some of their drug, but will he be able to...?!
