The Kindaichi Case Files The Opera House Murders Yozaburo Kanari Fumiya Sato Books Reviews

The Kindaichi Case Files is one of my favorite manga series. I have tried to read other mystery mangas but none of them can stand up to the intrigue of Kindaichi's Case Files. Kindaichi is a really down to earth laid back guy who has a very high IQ and knack for noticing the small details nobody else sees. One of the greatest things about this manga is the fact that there are clues to solving the case in the drawings. So if you look carefully enough you maybe able to find the casebreaker before Kindaichi does. Compare that to other mystery mangas where you really have no idea what's going on until the main character reveals the solution. With every case, you will notice your ability to solve the cases begin to improve. This is one of the few mangas that will exercise your mind as well as entertain you.
THIS is what I've been looking for! Lately I've taken an interest in horror manga/anime, I've been pleased with what I was seeing but I felt like there had to be something better out there for a murder mystery series. The Kindaichi Case Files is one of those "better" series I've been looking for, in fact so far it's the BEST murder series I've EVER encountered in any form (that includes manga, anime, books, and regular TV Shows). This series has everything that I was yearning for, humor, intelligent killers, emotional background stories, and revenge! I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoy well done tales of vengeance. By the end of each story I was half cheering on for the killer who had been so terribly wronged by their victims in the past. Although I warn you the manga is currently Out of Print (OOP) outside Japan and although most volumes are easy to track down used on , there are a few that are difficult to come by at a reasonable price.

Japan Positive Reception/Honors
Kindaichi is one of the earliest works in the mystery manga genre, basically it's THE mystery manga. The Kindaichi series started serialization in Weekly Shônen Magazine in 1992. In 1995, the manga won the Kodansha Manga Award for shônen. In Japan, there is a total of 56 volumes with 35 cases, 17 Kindaichi's short cases and 7 Akechi's short cases. Together, the volumes have sold over 60 million copies in Japan, making it one of the best selling manga of the 1990s.

(Lack of) U.S. Positive Reception/Honors
Currently this manga series is OOP outside Japan, Tokyopop released the first 18 volumes and stopped due to bad sales numbers. Although they lost the rights to Kindaichi when Kodansha pulled the rights from all of their series away from Tokyopop. I can't comment on how good of a job Tokyopop did on the translations/editing since I have no access (or understanding) of the original Japanese manga volumes. I will say though that I think it's GREAT that each individual volume is usually twice the size of a normal manga, and contains an entire murder mystery story. Although they did split at least one story into two manga volumes.

It's series like this that make me wish that all manga was simply available in a high quality digital format! Why? Because here I am recommending a series with all my heart, but not every volume is easily tracked down. PLUS perhaps if manga distributers didn't have to take into account actually going through the process of manufacturing the book itself this series might stand a better change of being rescued and being completed in the U.S.
The Opera House Murders introduces us to Hajime Kindaichi, deceptively smart grandson of a famous detective and under-achieving best friend of straight-A student Miyuki Nanase. An isolated retreat for a drama club practice already darkened by the recent suicide of the former lead gets even more tragic when guest start dying in a similar manner to the play they're rehearsing - The Phantom of the Opera.

This is a murder mystery with all the classical trimmings. Our cast and the setting is slowly established to start and then from the first strike on it's a tense race to figure everything out and stop the killings. The various layers to the story and twists to the mystery are extremely well done and all integrated together flawlessly. And while there are pieces of the motive not revealed until the end there are clues and a good chunk of it all is solvable as you read. Add in a carefully developed dark and dangerous atmosphere and a smart adversary and it all comes together quite impressively. There is a fair bit of exposition towards the end, but it's presented well and is needed to unravel all the cleverly connected elements of the solution.

The art is detailed, clean, and easy to follow. This is all extremely important for a mystery, where establishing clues, characters and even the geography of their surroundings can all be vital to having the plot unfold properly.

I've always loved a good mystery, and Kanari and Sato's manga about a deceptively bright high school student descended from a famous detective is a wonderful collection of them. The Kindaichi Case Files is a fantastic manga and The Opera House Murders gets us off to a great start.
Great mystery with little touches of comedy. The art is also good.
