Conan as you’ve never seen him before!

To mark the 10th anniversary of the anime series Detective Conan in 2006, the popular program was adapted into a special live-action drama. The plot revolves around two characters, Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri, and takes place when Shinichi was still a regular high-school student, before being poisoned by a strange man who turned him into the diminutive Conan.

Shinichi has become a popular student at school because of his detective skills and is even receiving a lot of media coverage. The night before a trip, Shinichi receives a strange letter: “This is a letter of challenge to the high-school detective. During the school trip, one of your classmates will be kidnapped. If you are able to prevent it, you win. But if you fail, I win. You will then have to give up your title of high-school detective.”
