***Detective Conan Special*** (名探偵コナン特別編 ,*Meitantei Konan Tokubetsuhen*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese")) manga consist of short stories written and drawn by 3 groups: [Eiichi Yamagishi](/wiki/Eiichi_Yamagishi "Eiichi Yamagishi") (one of [Gosho Aoyama](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama "Gosho Aoyama")'s assistants), [Yutaka Abe](/wiki/Yutaka_Abe "Yutaka Abe") and [Denjiro Maru](/wiki/Denjiro_Maru "Denjiro Maru") (with [Takahisa Taira](/wiki/Takahisa_Taira "Takahisa Taira") making the scenario), [Masaru Ohta](/wiki/Masaru_Ohta "Masaru Ohta") and [Kazuhiro Kubota](/wiki/Kazuhiro_Kubota "Kazuhiro Kubota"). It was serialized in grade-level learning magazine such as *4th Grader* and *5th Grader* since 1996. When those magazines discontinued in 2010 and 2012, the serialization was transferred to *CoroCoro Ichiban!*. The tankobon version are published under [Shogakukan's](/wiki/Shogakukan "Shogakukan") **Ladybug Comics** (てんとうむしコミックス ,*Tentō Mushi Comikkusu*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese")) label. The stories found in the Special volumes hold no bearing on the plot of the [main comic](/wiki/Manga "Manga").[](#cite_note-1)[](#cite_note-2)
At the beginning, each chapter and cases in each volumes are unrelated. Starting Volume 44, each cases in a single volume are related to each other, making a one big case.

## Anime[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Detective_Conan_Special&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Anime")]
During [Detective Conan's](/wiki/Anime "Anime") 20+ year run only two short stories from the special volumes have been adapted into TV episodes: [The Kidnapping Location Case](/wiki/The_Kidnapping_Location_Case "The Kidnapping Location Case") and [The White Sandy Beach Murder Case](/wiki/The_White_Sandy_Beach_Murder_Case "The White Sandy Beach Murder Case"). The first episode is significant as it introduces the [Electronic Notebook Map](/wiki/Electronic_Notebook_Map "Electronic Notebook Map") gadget, however this device has not been used since this case.

## Trivia[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Detective_Conan_Special&action=edit&section=8 "Edit section: Trivia")]
* Shinichi disliking raisins originated from the Detective Conan Special Volume 2 Omake, which is based on the fact that Gosho dislike raisins. While it is never being mentioned in the main manga, the anime staff decided to add it in [Memories from Sakura Class](/wiki/Memories_from_Sakura_Class "Memories from Sakura Class").
* The character box of the Detective Conan Special volumes have stated since volume 1 that Ran is "Shinichi's girlfriend". This became true during the [Kyoto Arc](/wiki/Volume_94#Crimson_School_Trip_Case "Volume 94").
