Detective Conan: 10th Movie Manga Ends in September 2026
Published on · Updated on
The Detective Conan: The Private Eyes' Requiem manga adaptation ends in September in Shonen Sunday S. See all the details and its legacy!
The acclaimed manga adaptation of Detective Conan: The Private Eyes’ Requiem (Meitantei Conan: Tantei-tachi no Requiem) will officially come to an end in September 2026. The announcement was confirmed in the pages of the October issue of Shōnen Sunday S magazine, published by Shogakukan, marking the conclusion of yet another successful spin-off project from Gosho Aoyama's universe.
The series, which began serialization on February 24, 2026, is illustrated by the experienced duo Yutaka Abe and Jirō Maruden, known for their long career adapting the franchise's feature films into the Japanese comic format.
The Legacy of the Franchise's 10th Film
Originally released in theaters in April 2006, The Private Eyes’ Requiem carries enormous nostalgic and symbolic weight for the Detective Conan fandom, as it celebrated the commemorative milestone of 10 years of the franchise's films.
The plot traps Conan Edogawa, Kogoro Mouri, and the Detective Boys in a high-tension ordeal: while visiting a theme park in Yokohama at the request of an anonymous client, the characters receive VIP access wristbands containing built-in explosives. If Conan and other renowned detectives — including Heiji Hattori and Saguru Hakuba — fail to solve a mysterious case within a strict 12-hour deadline, the wristbands will detonate, putting the lives of Ran Mouri and her friends at risk.
“The Private Eyes’ Requiem brought together the greatest detectives of the series in a frenetic climax featuring the striking presence of Kaito Kid, setting the model for the big character crossovers in modern Conan films.”
The Work of the Yutaka Abe and Jirō Maruden Duo
The manga adaptation of The Private Eyes’ Requiem is further proof of the artistic consistency of Yutaka Abe and Jirō Maruden. Over the decades, the duo has earned the trust of Gosho Aoyama and Shogakukan by signing manga adaptations of other iconic feature films in the series, such as:
- Detective Conan: The Fist of Blue Sapphire
- Detective Conan: The Scarlet Bullet
- Detective Conan: Sunflowers of Inferno
- Detective Conan: Dimensional Sniper
Their ability to translate the fast-paced cinematography of the animated films into dynamic manga panels has allowed veteran fans and new readers alike to relive the 2006 classic with modern illustrations and a wealth of martial-arts and investigative detail.
Detective Conan Continues to Dominate the Box Office in 2026
While the 10th film's adaptation concludes in Shōnen Sunday S, the franchise is experiencing one of the most prosperous moments in its commercial history. In April 2026, the 29th official film, Detective Conan: Fallen Angel of the Highway (Highway no Datenshi), premiered in Japan, focusing on the character Chihaya Hagiwara.
The 29th film set the historic record for the biggest opening weekend in franchise history, grossing an impressive 3.5 billion yen (about US$21.9 million) and selling more than 2.3 million tickets in just three days of exhibition.
