100% Tantei Monogatari

Volume cover
***100% Tantei Monogatari (１００％探偵物語 ,*100% Tantei Monogatari*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese"))*** ("100% Detective Tale" or "100% Detective Story") is a one shot Manga volume from 1990 written and drawn by [Yutaka Abe](/wiki/Yutaka_Abe "Yutaka Abe") and [Gosho Aoyama](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama "Gosho Aoyama"). It is a detective story for young readers containing several chapters published from 1986 to 1987 in the magazine Missy Comics (ミッシィコミックス ,*Misshii Komikkusu*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese")) as well as two older short stories, which revolve around the young high school detective [Momoko Aoyama](/wiki/Momoko_Aoyama "Momoko Aoyama"), who solves smaller, episodic cases since she took over her father's detective agency. She is assisted [Hitoshi Yamanaka](/wiki/index.php?title=Hitoshi_Yamanaka&action=edit&redlink=1 "Hitoshi Yamanaka (page does not exist)"), who apparently knew her father.
Yutaka Abe - who is a former mentor of Gosho Aoyama - received support from the latter for the work on this volume, since Gosho was still Yutaka's assistant at the time. [](#cite_note-gosho_yutaka-1) This collaboration is also reflected in Momoko attending [Ekoda High School](/wiki/Ekoda_High_School "Ekoda High School") and attending the same class - the 2-B - as [Kaito Kuroba](/wiki/Kaito_Kuroba "Kaito Kuroba") and [Aoko Nakamori](/wiki/Aoko_Nakamori "Aoko Nakamori")[](#cite_note-gosho_bonus-2), who both have a multi-page appearance in the third chapter of this series.
The complete volume is legally readable on the Mangaz website (formerly known as J-Comi) by Ken Akamatsu (a mangaka famous for his works like *Love Hina* and *Magister Negi Magi*), but only in Japanese.[](#cite_note-mangaz-3)

# Trivia[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=100%25_Tantei_Monogatari&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Trivia")]
* [Momoko Aoyama](/wiki/Momoko_Aoyama "Momoko Aoyama") is named both after [Gosho Aoyama](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama "Gosho Aoyama") himself and after his favorite idol at the time, [Momoko Kikuchi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momoko_Kikuchi). This was a reaction by [Yutaka Abe](/wiki/Yutaka_Abe "Yutaka Abe") in return to Gosho's one-shot *[Chotto Mattete](/wiki/Chotto_Mattete "Chotto Mattete")*, in which the protagonists are named [Yutaka Takai](/wiki/Yutaka_Takai "Yutaka Takai") and [Mamiko Abe](/wiki/index.php?title=Mamiko_Abe&action=edit&redlink=1 "Mamiko Abe (page does not exist)"). “Yutaka” and “Abe” came from Yutaka Abe's own name, while the parts of the name “Takai” and “Mamiko” came from Yutaka's then favorite idol [Mamiko Takai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamiko_Takai).[](#cite_note-character_name-4)
* There is said to be at least one animated short film based on the Manga - directed by Gosho Aoyama and with Yutaka Abe in charge of animation. Copies of it were sent to subscribers of [Weekly Shounen Sunday](/wiki/Weekly_Shounen_Sunday "Weekly Shounen Sunday") as a present.[](#cite_note-anime-5)

* [Kaito Kuroba](/wiki/Kaito_Kuroba "Kaito Kuroba") and [Aoko Nakamori](/wiki/Aoko_Nakamori "Aoko Nakamori") briefly appear in chapter 3. This meeting was returned in chapter 6 of their own series: [Momoko Aoyama](/wiki/Momoko_Aoyama "Momoko Aoyama") is one of the girls who gave Kaito some Valentine's chocolate and was drawn by [Yutaka Abe](/wiki/Yutaka_Abe "Yutaka Abe") himself.[](#cite_note-6) She is also mentioned in the [fourth episode](/wiki/A_Witch_Sheds_No_Tears "A Witch Sheds No Tears") of the *[Magic Kaito: Kid the Phantom Thief](/wiki/TV_Specials#Magic_Kaito "TV Specials")* Specials, which is based on that chapter. [Ekoda High School](/wiki/Ekoda_High_School "Ekoda High School"), which originated in this series, was taken over in *Magic Kaito* as one of the main settings, too.
* [Gosho Aoyama](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama "Gosho Aoyama") also confirmed on the bonus page of *100% Tantei Monogatari* that he intended to have a battle between Momoko Aoyama and [Kaitou Kid](/wiki/Kaitou_Kid "Kaitou Kid") once, but for reasons unknown, it never worked out.[](#cite_note-gosho_bonus-2)
