Detective Conan is a renowned Japanese manga created and drawn by Gosho Aoyama. It has appeared weekly in Shogakukan’s Weekly Shōnen Sunday magazine starting from January 1994, with its installments compiled into 109 tankōbon editions as of December 2025. The narrative centers on teenage sleuth Shinichi Kudo, who shrinks to the size of a young boy after probing a shadowy syndicate, and continues cracking countless mysteries by posing as his best friend’s dad or assuming other disguises.
In North America, Viz Media holds the rights for English distribution, launching the physical manga editions in September 2004 and offering digital versions via the Viz Manga platform, where new chapters drop in English at the same time as their Japanese counterparts. The property has also spawned a long-running anime series, crafted by Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation and TMS Entertainment, which first aired in January 1996.
As of November 2025, the manga’s collected volumes have surpassed 270 million units sold globally, cementing its status among the all-time top-selling manga. It clinched the 46th Shogakukan Manga Award in the shōnen division back in 2001. The anime earned strong acclaim, consistently placing in Animage’s annual top 20 from 1996 through 2001, and its episodes often secured spots in Japan’s weekly top six TV rankings. Critics have praised both formats for their intricate storytelling and compelling investigations. The manga reaches readers in 25 nations, while the anime airs across 40 territories.
