Inside Flap: Aoyama here. Conan's anime is finally about to start! Wow, they're moving, speaking, and playing great songs. Oooooh, it's just too COOL!! I really wish I could sit back in my kotatsu heater and savor this feeling, but... For some reason, there's a pen in my right hand... (scribble scribble scribble...)
Back: I was known as being a high school detective, but for some reason, I've turned back into a little kid again... When I go playing with some other kids, a little girl goes missing!! When I go to relax at a hot spring, a murder happens?! I just want a little break, but now I'm an elementary school student!!
Back Flap: Aoyama Goshou's Illustrated Book of Great Detectives #9 - Philip Marlowe - "I'm a private eye. It may not be a glamorous job, but I've got my pride. Yeah... if you aren't tough, you can't survive. If you can't be gentle, there's no reason to live..." Only Raymond Chandler's detective, Philip Marlowe, can live up to hard-boiled lines like that! Hustled away in an agency in the corner of Hollywood, he used to be a police detective. He disobeyed his superiors and got fired, but he exaggerates and says, "I just don't like resigning." He absolutely hates compromise. His flame-colored hair and eyes make him a very attractive man. Of course, none of the women he courts lasts long, but he never gets more acquainted with his clients than absolutely necessary. This is his pride as a detective! A tough man who lives in the megalopolis using all his wits... something I could never do... (My recommendation is "The Long Goodbye".)
Summary of events up to this point: Edogawa Conan, the little detective. He is actually the high school detective Kudou Shinichi. He was fed a poison by a mysterious syndicate that shrunk his body. So he hid his identity and took up residence in his karate-skilled girlfriend, Mouri Ran's house, the Mouri Detective Agency. He doesn't know where to find the syndicate, so Conan solves case after case instead. And in the process, he makes the bumbling Mouri Kogorou famous... To fool the eyes of society, he enrolls in elementary school, starting the "Detective Boys" with three of his classmates, and surprisingly, enjoys himself. Ran, who's in the dark about all of this, is frantically searching for the missing Shinichi. While her target is really Conan...?!
