According to a Thursday report from the Japanese entertainment news website Real Sound, Detective Conan (Meitantei Conan) manga by Gosho Aoyama has 270 million copies in print worldwide (including copies not sold). The 102nd volume of the manga’s collected books arrived in Japan on September 15.
When the manga’s 100th volume was published in Japan in October 2021, there were 250 million copies of it in circulation globally.
The manga was released in 1994 by Aoyama. In addition to an accompanying anime film series, the manga has inspired a television anime that has been airing since 1996. Detective Conan: Kurogane no Submarine (Iron Submarine), the 26th movie in the series, will premiere in Japan on April 14.
Meitantei Conan Keisatsu Gakk Hen Wild Police Story (Detective Conan: Police Academy Arc Wild Police Story), Detective Conan: Hannin no Hanzawa-san, and Detective Conan: Zero no Tea Time are three spinoff comics for the series that recently served as inspiration for anime adaptations.
