Detective Conan JDrama Update


Days ago, we have reported that a Detective Conan JDrama is on the works with the cast members from the third drama special reprising their roles. As July comes closer, more details about this drama has surfaced online.

The main cast from the special will return, including lead actor Mizobata Junpei (Shinichi Kudo), Kutsuna Shiori (Ran Mori), AKB48's Akimoto Sayaka (Sonoko Suzuki), Otsuka Nene (Eri Kisaki, Ran's mom), and Jinnai Takanori (Kogoro Mori, Ran's dad).

Titled Meitantei Conan: Kudo Shinichi e no Chousenjou, it will take place three months before Shinichi Kudo was drugged by the Black Organization and took the alias of Conan Edogawa. The said drama will be a drama where murder cases are solved every episode. Although the specials were all entirely original stories, the upcoming series will include some parts from the original manga by Aoyama Gosho.

Hattori Heiji, the rival of the protagonist Kudo Shinichi, will also appear in live-action form for the first time, though the actor playing the part has not yet been named.
