Anzu Houzuki (Apricot School) |
I adore Houzuki-san's work! She has her own style, but captures the manga style at the same time, creating some beautiful pictures. I especially like the way she renders Shinichi J. She tends to do a lot of collations, producing many anthologies that include works by other circles as well as her own stuff. Her main focus is usually Shinichi and Ran, but she also includes the others - especially Kaito Kid! |

Brutal Criminality - Another anthology with lots of different stories that mainly focus on Shinichi and Ran, but there is also a Conan and Heiji friendship story. One of the Shinichi and Ran stories is about their first day at high school and in their new uniforms. Unfortunately, Shinichi is having some trouble with his tie and Ran has to help him. Sonoko watches with amusement and comments that they're acting just like a pair of newly weds! Have a look at this story: |

Impossible Crime - 1st part Impossible Crime - 2nd part The main focus in both books is on Kaito and Conan and the flavour of the main story is quite similar to the original manga. |

Extraordinary Crime - anthology. Includes a story about Shinichi, Ran and Sonoko when they were kids. |

The Supporting Role Union produced with Mari Akishima. This doujinshi focuses on the minor characters in Conan such as Takagi, Sato and even Minami Takayama of Two Mix (Conan's voice actor). There's even a poll for most popular minor character - the male favourite is Sonoko's boyfriend Makoto Kyougoku and the female favourite is Sato-san! |

Volume Beta Yes, it's another anthology! Several great stories and some poll results. In one story, Conan's jealousy causes him to disrupt Ran's outing, while in another Ran continues to pause at the corner where she used to meet Shinichi so they could walk to school together. For a long time he's not been there, but one day he shows up. |
