Case Closed, Vol. 53

Can Detective Conan crack the case…while trapped in a kid’s body? When ace high school detective Jimmy Kudo is fed a mysterious substance by a pair of nefarious men in black—poof! He is physically transformed into a first grader. Until Jimmy can find a cure for his miniature malady, he takes on the pseudonym Conan Edogawa and continues to solve all the cases that come his way. The Kaito Kid has vowed to steal a famous artist’s latest painting—and Conan is at the scene! But while Conan prepares to stop the theft, a man is killed under his nose. Is the Kid a thief and a murderer? Then a small boy is the only witness to a crime, but no one can make heads or tails of his strange testimony. And Conan is distracted by his suspicions about Rachel’s new friend Eisuke, who bears an eerie resemblance to one of the Men in Black!
