### Publishing History[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Case_Closed&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Publishing History")]
Volume 1 cover of Case Closed
[Viz Media](/wiki/Viz_Media "Viz Media") licensed the manga series under the name for English-language publication in North America, and released its first volume on September 7, 2004. It first acquired licensing rights in early 2004 and announced its intention to publish the series on June 1, 2004[](#cite_note-2). It kept the localized names of the characters and setting places from the FUNimation dub, as well as the name of the series[](#cite_note-3). It gave Ai Haibara her own English name, "Anita Hailey", since FUNimation used "Vi Graythorn".
The UK's publication of Victor Gollancz Ltd ended after 15 volumes in November 2007[](#cite_note-4). Viz Media continues to handle the UK's distribution with the American edition and has since republished all 15 volumes under its imprint. In 2014, after [Shogakukan Asia](/wiki/index.php?title=Shogakukan_Asia&action=edit&redlink=1 "Shogakukan Asia (page does not exist)"), a subsidiary of [Shogakukan](/wiki/Shogakukan "Shogakukan"), Detective Conan's publisher in Japan, started its own release of the manga in English, thus separating the market share for Viz Media[](#cite_note-5). Howeever, the Shogakukan Asia version reuses the translation from Viz Media, as Shogakukan has the ultimate translation rights.
In May 2023, Viz Media introduced a new subscription service that offers the latest Simulpub for many series including "*Case Closed*". The subscription service is only available in the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. As March 14, 2025, Viz Media has released chapters 1-1140 on the service.[](#cite_note-6),[](#cite_note-7).
