It has been announced that Edogawa Conan, the protagonist of the TV anime "Detective Conan" (Yomiuri TV/Nippon TV, Saturday 6pm), based on the popular manga by Aoyama Gosho, will collaborate with author Edogawa Ranpo. The episode "The Ranpo House Murder Case," set in the former Edogawa Ranpo House, will be broadcast over two weeks on November 16th and 23rd. Edogawa Ranpo is the author after whom Edogawa Conan is named, and the collaboration is to commemorate his 130th birthday this year.
The script for "The Ranpo House Murder Case" will be written by Okura Takahiro, who also wrote the scripts for the films "Detective Conan: The Million Dollar Star," "Detective Conan: Crimson Love Letter," "Detective Conan: The Fist of Blue Sapphire," and "Detective Conan: Halloween's Bride."
To commemorate the collaboration, a special visual featuring a portrait of Edogawa Ranpo was also released. With an actual portrait in the background, Conan is posing in the same way as Ranpo and smiling fearlessly. The visual will also be unveiled at the Kyoto International Manga and Anime Fair (KyotoMaf) 2024 event, which will be held at Miyako Messe (Kyoto City Industrial Promotion Hall) and other locations in Kyoto on September 21 and 22.
