New/Old Detective Manga

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is well.

Recently I have been wanting a new manga series while I wait for the new issues of Case Closed/ Detective Conan to come out. (I love that series so much)

So, I tried finding manga that is like Conan but with their own unique twist to it. Recently I have found several and I had come across a few in the past so I thought I would make a list of interesting detective/mystery manga. I would love to hear recommendations from anyone else.

Lizzie Newton by Hey-Jin Jeon- This was one of the first detective manga that I collected. I am sad that there were only 2 volumes released, because having a Victorian lady investigating murders is perfect. Lizzie Newton is a well to do lady in high society who loves three things: reading, writing and investigating murders.

Case Closed/ Detective Conan by Gosho Aoyama- What can I say 10/10. This is one of the best mystery series I have ever read. With a big mystery that you can follow through the course of the whole series and having other mysteries to go along with the big mysteries, each case is well crafted and unique. The cast of characters to go along with the story each one has a quirky thing about them, but they work well together. This is a mystery manga series that I would recommend to any newbie mystery manga reader.

The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife by Iwatobineko- Ok this series is so cute, but it’s not super hard core in the mystery aspect like Case Closed or Ustoki Rhetoric, but the main characters are part of a detective agency, and they do go on cases. I have reviews posted in the manga section of my master list, so I won’t talk too much about it here. I really recommend this series.

Now these are the ones I found recently:

Usotoki Rhetoric by Ritsu Miyako- I don’t know why but lately I keep coming across historical type detectives lately, but I digress.  This story centers around a girl named Kanoko, who has a unique ability to hear lies, which unfortunately made her childhood very lonely growing up. So, she sets off on her own to find a place where no one knows her, and she can make a life for herself. Kanoko then runs into a detective, who is broke, and they team up to solve cases. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this series, but I started reading it and I am hooked on it. Each case that they tackled was interesting but so far, my favorite case was the Doll Murder case, this manga pulled plot that I am sure Agatha Christie would be interested in.

Garden Club Detective Squad by 52chu- This series is amazing, I found this by accident. I think I saw the trailer and I investigated it. I was hooked and I pray that this will get a physical release. We have our main character Yeon, her family is moving to the countryside. This girl embodies school life. She loves to study, and she is amazing at sports and arts. Yeon has a goal to make her academic resume for the high school she wants to go to prefect. One the things she wants to do is be a president of a club and all the other clubs turn her down (they are terrified on how good she is) but she finds the Garden Club to fit her needs. But the club holds secrets that have been long buried.

My Dear Detective by Natsumi Ito- I have only read a little of this, but I was immediately interested, main character is a female detective, and the time is back in 1930. So, the views here are that women took care of the house, but not Hoshino Mitsuko she is determined to work for a living, and she has her job as a detective locked down.

I want to save this one for more in-depth reading so I will leave this one here, but I can tell you, I am excited for this.

The Strange House by Uketsu- Horror Writer Detective, my interest has been piqued. Now I like watching jump scares and some scary movies as much as the next person. But I came across this manga series by chance. I was worried that this was going to be a horror manga that was going to be gory. But so far apart from some speculations in the manga, the story is great. (yes, there is some dark themes here)

Our main character is a horror mystery writer turn amateur detective, they are given a blueprint of the house from a client one day asking about the layout of the house and one particular room in the house which first time reading the manga, I was trying to figure out the purpose of the room as well.

Now, looking at the cover art for this manga I was thinking that this was going to be in the same league with the other great horror manga writer Jinji Ito, I love this man’s art style but boy howdy he draws some scary scenes. I thought going in this that this manga wouldn’t hold my attention, but I am now waiting on pins and needles for the new chapter I need to know what happens.

Now I know there are like a few more series out there, but these series here are what has caught my attention at the moment.

What manga are you currently reading, or do you suggest? The author of Full Metal Alchemist has a new series called Daemons of the Shadow Realm that I got v1 of today.

She has a new series!? Oooooo, I've enjoyed two of her previous ones so I'll have to look that up, thank you!

Currently reading:

Mashle, whose basis is "what if Harry Potter, but One Punch Mob Psycho?" It's very silly and I'm enjoying it.

I Want to Be a Wall, which only has a couple volumes out so far. It's about a marriage between an aro/ace woman and a gay man, and is very sweet.

Usotoki Rhetoric, Showa era, 1926. Girl has the ability to hear lies, gets run out of town, ends up partnering with a detective. Smaller publisher (had to request library acquire), but is promising!

Just finished xxxHolic, which was disappointing! Gonna try out Tsubasa to see if it's any better, but xxxHolic was going well for a while and then just kinda collapses in the last few volumes (not much explanation, doesn't wrap up things from before).

Previously read (and did the check-out-a-dozen-volumes-at-a-time-from-the-library thing):

Silver Spoon. Also by the creator of Fullmetal Alchemist! City boy decides to go to a rural agricultural high school, hoping to find an easier way than his ultra-competitive city options to be the top of his class. It's a good plan! Except for all the farming, which he neglected to realize was a key part of the curriculum.

Barakamon. Talented pro calligrapher loses temper and punches a guy, is sent to rural island town as exile until things calm down. City boy is dragged kicking and screaming into local community. I loved this--I reviewed the anime a few years ago and it's good too, but doesn't cover the whole manga.

Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun. Humor series; stoic-looking high school boy is secretly a shoujo manga artist. Some of his classmates help. Everyone is odd. It's ongoing but I'm caught up, so when a new book is released I usually check out all the previous volumes again to reread.

Baby and Me. My secret quest to read series I starting 15+ years ago, this was one of the premier Shojo Beat titles in their magazine! (RIP monthly manga magazine, I loved you.) 10-year-old boy often takes care of his toddler brother because he dad works full time and mom recently died. Ranges between emotional and comedic and did make me cry a couple times.

Toilet-bound Hanako-kun. Girl gets entangled with a ghost, and her high school the epicenter of a lot of supernatural weirdness. Ongoing; I usually wait a while and check it out in chunks when multiple new books have been released because some stories can last for multiple volumes. I watched the anime first a couple years ago and really enjoyed it.

Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts. Picked up on a whim (the whim of "hey look, there's like a dozen sequential volumes sitting on the library shelf") so I wasn't expecting much, but I enjoyed it, and while it ended fine I think that even with its 15 volumes, it had room for a couple more because the focus on diplomacy between the various kingdoms and vassal states hadn't been exhausted.

4, 11, 15 for the manga asks?

4. An underrated gem 2023 answer: My Dear Detective on Azuki! (And Usotoki Rhetoric is very similar.) Detective stories set in early modern (~1930s) Japan, with a smart female lead and funny male supporting character! (And Shonen Jump shoutout to Akane-banashi and MamaYuyu) And Stella Next to Me was recommended to me and it's very sweet so far! General answer: Well. I mean I have my reasons, but Captain Corinth is actually a pretty decent isekai-type story that avoids a lot of (though not quite all) the things that annoy me about other isekai.

11. Your favorite covers 2023 answer: A whole bunch kept catching my eye. Usotoki Rhetoric, The Summer Hikaru Died, Wind Breaker, and Correspondence with the Universe. (Have only read Usotoki Rhetoric so far but I recently bought the others) OH and Qualia Under the Snow is so pretty (and good)! OOH and also the cover of Erio to Denki Ningyou really makes me want to read itttt

General answer: All the colors and contrast on Ajin! Kaiju No. 8 as well. And the gradients on To Your Eternity.

15. The manga that made you laugh the most 2023 answer: I read a lot of Asobi Asobase. I wish more of it was in the anime, I think it fits that medium really well. Equal parts humor and 'wtf'. General answer: The first one that came to mind was Saint Oniisan ('Saint Young Men') which is about Buddha and Jesus living together in an apartment in modern-day Japan. The bath house scene makes the rounds every Easter. The whole concept is preposterous and oh so funny.

The flashback here really reminds me of a manga called Usotoki Rhetoric. The main character can detect any lie she hears, and when we meet her mother, we learn that she was afraid to say "I love you" to her in case she heard it as a lie. I wonder if Furuhashi has read it.

Oh that seems like a pretty interesting manga, I think I-

NO

MUST... RESIST... ADDING ANOTHER MANGA TO THE LIST...

MUST... FINISH... THE 20-SOMETHING CURRENTLY UNDERGOING ONES...

Soooo I found a new manga I absolutely LOVE and I basically breathed in the first 26 chapters since yesterday and now I have a serious problem because I can’t find the remaining 24 chapters anywhere - not scanlated, not raw, not officially translated and for sale, heck I even made a japanese amazon account just to be told that the kindle version is not available for purchase at the moment.

It’s called Usotoki Rhetoric by Miyako Ritsu and it’s a historical mystery detective shoujo manga - with significantly less bubbles and flowers than your average shoujo (not that I have anything against bubbles and flowers but it’s quite nice for a change and I think it fits the mystery part more) - and it has this absolutely adorable detective I mean look at him

And I could continue to ramble on for quite some time about him or how the heroine grows with time or how utterly sincere his police buddy is but long story short:

Dear Usotoki Rhetoric fandom if you exist somewhere out there in the depths of tumblr (or if somebody just happens to know this) could someone tell me where I can find the remaining chapters? Doesn’t matter in what form (and preferably English, but German, French or Japanese are okay too), I’d really really love to read the rest of the story.

The most dreadful thing

The story of usotoki rhetoric manga begin intriguing adequate as Satou unwittingly causes a meteor shower which kills 10s of countless people which consequently obtain him an actually considerable degree. He makes a decision to wander around aimlessly since he doesn't understand of a method to come back home, as well as go to a community where we know regarding the world that he's currently in and wait what situations Satou might enter. It's type of good, ideal?

The primary problem of this usotoki rhetoric manga series is Satou, basically, a never-ceasing god because of his high degree, he's one of the most effective individual on earth for doing practically absolutely nothing. This right away removes any type of remarkable tension given that we comprehend that if anything were to happen, Satou would care for it soon. He'll never ever be at risk or anybody around him for this concern. Await lengthy boring chapters with an entire lack of any thriller due to just how subdued the most important personality is.

Not only is he exceptionally solid, however he's additionally the best at doing absolutely everything considering that he enhances capacities for doing whatever you can consider, without established policy of what skill he can and also can not profit; predicting the visitor for a loophole regarding the reason he obtained an ability for doing this task however not to doing this activity. There's a magic worldwide but it's so unnecessarily confusing that you'll wind up nodding your head and also dismissing it as it's badly fleshed out. The author is a distressing job in world building and construction without a being detailed and also there isn't anything to learn about the towns apart from their total summaries. The art work is fine, it misbehaves and also it is not that negative but do not expect too much from that sequence.

The characters are where I think usotoki rhetoric manga mess up the maximum in, specifically after presenting the seven women potential customers. As a reader you might witness Satou stay the same during the most of the chapters, not modifying at the least as a personality or person. I wonder whether the writer is literally incapable of composing a women personality who's not in love with Satou sometimes. The women are dull as well as unoriginal and are divided right into 2 vital teams: big-breasts as well as flat-chests, with each using their private sodatechi maou trope affixed together.

We essentially find out nothing for their pasts, as well as once we do it's quickly rejected leaving no influence on the viewers and also squandering your time for also reviewing it. Nonetheless, one of the most dreadful thing is that the key ladies sole purpose, apart from aggravating the reader, would be to avoid Satou from being interested in any type of other girl and also punish him if he does, that is honestly foolish offered how successful he is. They've no intentions as well as serve no other function other than being desire fulfillment. I would certainly like to talk about minority of male characters yet trust me that you won't remember some of them in 2 or three hrs. But I still hope the author will certainly do even more with the storyline, include some story or twist, or personality's depth. If you haven't located any type of great English manga to review yet, after that I recommend you this. Give it a shot! Possibly you'll like it!

ok I overestimated how long it’d would take me to read the 30 chapters of watashitachi wa douka shiteiru, and i finished it in two hours

i feel like there are the usual drama tropes, but i still found it to be a very interesting read. fuck i got the the big plot twist at the end of the most recent volume and i really want to see where this goes bc i think the FL is just going to vanish. i really dont know how she’ll deal with this situation but im very much looking forward to volume 7’s release early next year

when it comes to manga especially, i really enjoy settings either set in the past or if a modern setting focuses on a traditional aspect of the culture. here this series focuses on wagashi, a type of japanese sweet that’s commonly eaten with tea. i think the different familial conflicts surrounding it are interesting and i really like the meaning and symbolism that such a small treat can hold.

there’s still a lot of mystery regarding the death if the ML’s father and i have a feeling regarding who it is but it feels so oblivious that it has to be a red herring.
