Manga
The Detective Conan manga was first serialized in the fifth issue of Shōnen Sunday in 1994, written and drawn by Gosho Aoyama, and has appeared there since. The first tankoubon was also published by Shogakukan in 1994; it has spanned 94 published volumes as of December 18, 2017, and continues today. The manga has been highly popular in Japan; the tankoubon has received multiple first places in bestselling lists.[1]
Viz Media publishes Case Closed manga in the United States and Canada while Gollancz published the manga in the United Kingdom using Viz Media's English translation. However, the company stopped after 15 volumes, and now Viz handles UK distribution.[2] Other than the adaption of character names used in the anime version, there is no significant change between the English translations and the Japanese versions.
