Summary
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 Junior Detective League searches for a missing classmate and gets lost in a house of secrets. Then Mr. Moore’s meeting with a wealthy client at a gentlemen’s club is interrupted when one of the bunny-suited hostesses is poisoned. And Amuro faces off with his rival, Shuichi Akai, at last. Conan can’t keep track of all the excitement —especially since, as Jimmy Kudo, his relationship with Rachel just reached the next level!
