Reader’s Question:
I know there are after-story anime for the Conan movies, but are there any in manga form?
Exploring the World of Conan: After-Stories in Manga
You know, it’s always a bit of a treasure hunt when you dig into the world of anime and manga, especially when you’re a fan
of something as iconic as Detective Conan. I remember sitting down with a few friends, all of us snacking on way too many chips and giggling over our favorite moments from the series. There’s something about the way Conan unravels mysteries that just pulls you in, and I always find myself shouting at the screen, “No way! How did he figure that out?!” So, when I heard about after-story anime for the Conan movies, I was genuinely curious if there was any equivalent in manga form. I mean, think about it – diving deeper into the characters and their arcs could be so interesting! But as the user mentioned, it seems like those after-stories exist solely in the anime realm right now. It’s kind of a letdown, isn’t it? I chuckled remembering the discussions we had about how last year’s releases were more about pre-stories, or as they say, “前日譚” (zenjitan). It’s like a build-up, which is cool, but sometimes you just want to see where your favorite characters end up. I can’t help but admire the creativity that goes into crafting these stories, even if they don’t quite fit into the manga format. I mean, how awesome would it be to see more elaboration on Shinichi’s childhood moments with Ran, or those nostalgic scenes from the “ハロ花” (Haro Hana) arc? And it’s funny because moments like these remind me of my own childhood – like when I realized my dad had a knack for pulling off some classic dad jokes, which sometimes felt like a mystery in itself! It’s a bit disappointing that the manga doesn’t have those after-stories, but I guess it keeps the excitement alive for fans who want to see what happens next in the anime. Plus, there’s always that thrill of waiting for new episodes to drop, right? So, what about you? Have you stumbled upon any hidden gems in the Conan universe or perhaps have a favorite episode that left you in stitches? I’d love to hear your thoughts or any tips you might have for diving deeper into the world of anime and manga! Let’s keep the conversation going!
