I've also been reading some Case Closed (Detective Conan). The whole concept is very strange tonally, isn't it? You have these serious murder mysteries combined with these Saturday-morning-cartoon elements like the inventor neighbor and the chibified protagonist. (Also funny how no one seems to think it odd for a 7-year-old boy to be so comfortable around dead bodies.)

I suspect it will get stale eventually (it's a 1000+-chapter series, after all, and it has a reputation for becoming more formulaic over time), but for now I'm enjoying the twisty mysteries.
I'm over a hundred chapters in (just finished the one about the triplets), and so far I've seen maybe one mystery that doesn't involve a grisly murder. And it still has a small child stumbling on a severed head.

(It turns out to be a stage prop)

I'm enjoying it.

The supportive signs in Akane were a lot of fun.
I am very curious as to what they look like in Japanese.
