The art looks PEAK. I expected a follow up to the previous case. But good thing is that in February/March we can have a plot case since the movie promo will be over by then.

I refuse to believe there is no external factors affecting gosho when it comes to chihaya’s addition and whatever this romance with the inspector is.
A character who is related to a character that only appeared once in the main series and is getting a whole movie next.
Unless she would be chasing gin down personally on a highway in the end I see no real reason to put her in.

Guy is the captain of the girls table tennis team eh, how progressive of Japan

Chihaya is into something about the shinigami.
She now knows who to avoid when travelling

this hits so hard, i miss jinpei and hagi

so jinpei likes chihaya? not that far from miwako but i'm sorry, i think chihaya's way cooler and cuter! 😄😄😄

the four of them were so cute in remembrance though!

Well at least you aren't trying to profit off your sniping now.

 

[codetaku]

Damn I was really hoping we were in the all plot all the time endgame now

Guessed the victim all the way from the bath scene, Gosho is becoming quite predictable now, if it's even him that makes up these stories, I kinda doubt it, afterall it says in big letters on the first page that he is only the original author, not necessarily the author of these filler stories.

Your comment got me curious enough to look her up, and turns out Chihaya was first mentioned by Aoyama in the questions for the Wild Police Story spin-off manga back in 2020. She never appeared in it directly, but one question was about if there were any scenes he wanted to include and he mentioned her. I guess he liked her character enough he still wanted to use her in some way, and a romance is a good way to add her to the main story. Definitely been there as a writer, I've fleshed out way too many incidental characters and wanted to find a way to use them...

That said, she seems more action-oriented than a lot of the other police characters, so she could possibly have a role of some sort in the big confrontations. Not the final confrontation or with a direct role, but I could see her giving Conan or someone else a ride in a climactic scene chasing someone? Or arresting a lesser BO member and throwing off their plans? At the very least she feels more suited for a BO-adjacent plotline than Takagi, Sato or Megure.

Thanks for the chapter.

I hope she ends up being the boss of the bo's great great great great great granddaughter who is infuriating the police with all this attention

The reaper is always on the clock, even during bath time.

Oh my God, they are all wet.

Something tells me this time it won't be a "she stole the captain from me and I killed her" but a "I loved her and he stole her from me".

I know, I know, all of them said that they confessed at least once to the same guy but it is still possible that one of them lied or liked both him and our victim.
