The
publisher Shueisha has confirmed that the manga Ron
Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective (Kamonohashi Ron no Kindan Suiri),
created by Akira Amano, will end with the publication of
its last chapter on July 6.
This
announcement marks the closure of a work that has kept its readers intrigued
since its release in October 2020 through the Shonen
Jump+ platform. The manga has so far 17 compilation volumes,
the most recent being published on June 4.
An
unconventional detective story
The story
follows a singular duo: Ron Kamonohashi, a brilliant but
emotionally unstable private detective, and Totomaru Ishiki, a
police officer with a good heart but little wit. Together, they take on the
most complex and perplexing cases, combining logic, instinct, and moments
of utter chaos.
The work is
described as "a detective thriller for a new generation", and
represents the return of Akira Amano, known for hits such as Katekyo
Hitman Reborn! and ēlDLIVE, to the mystery genre with
a modern and lighthearted approach.
Multiplatform
success: from manga to anime and theater
The success
of the play was not limited to the role. In October 2023, the first
season of its anime adaptation was released under the title Ron
Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions, available on Crunchyroll.
The animated series premiered its second season on October 7, also
broadcast simultaneously on the platform.
Additionally, in
November 2023, the franchise inspired a play that was
presented in Tokyo and Osaka, further expanding its impact within
Japanese audiences.
