Shogakukan Shounen Sunday Comics Special "Conan x Kaito"???

[skyechan]

Was browsing Koware's Conan scheduler for updates on what's coming up relating to the series and saw an odd listing under the books/comics heading: "å

It's actually slightly different than what it appears, I think.



Looks like it has a lot of specials, for the most part:

1. Conan vs. Kid (76)
2. Kogorou's Class Reunion Murder Case (27-28)
3. Diplomat Murder Case (48-49)
4. Naniwa Serial Murder Case (118)
5. The Wealthy Daughter Murder Case (39-40)
6. The Mist Goblin Murder Case (52)
7. The Holmes Freak Murder Case (57-58)
8. Moonlight Sonata Murder Case (11)

Judging by the episodes above, I would put money on them releasing quite a few more of these in the future.

No no, the thing I'm talking about is definitely not a DVD release. That ad just happens to be on the page.  The DVDs you linked to (I think) are part of this listed release: http://www.koware.net/cgi/conan_jyouhou ... iew&no=384

You can also see how Koware's front page lists the book release I'm curious about http://www.koware.net/

The Amazon link on the page brings up this site: http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4091222552?t ... J6DFE85MC&

So...something Magic Kaito related with 192 pages (for the normal edition, anyway).

Ah, I just assumed it was that box set considering how prominently it's featured on Koware right now. I don't go there too often because of how difficult it is to navigate effectively with my limited Japanese.

Regardless, it's at a discounted price from the usual, so I can't really tell you what to expect. It's the same amount of pages that a normal Conan volume is, so it could really just be a collection of Kid vs. Conan files from over the years.

Hopefully someone can come along and solve the mystery for us. I'm curious now as well.

That's exactly what it is.  The description on Amazon.jp says that it takes selected chapters from Detective Conan volumes 1-66 and Magical Kaitou 1-4.

Oddly enough, the limited edition's description makes no mention of Magical Kaitou 1-4.  Just that it takes select "battles" from Detective Conan volumes 1-66.

Thanks for the clarification!
