And The Award Goes To....

Image result for case closed

Create an award for your book. Explain the award and why your book received it.  Be specific! Be weird!
     Case Closed! should get an award for being the most misleading manga series ever read. Often, in crime scenes, there are obvious clues pointing to one suspect which then lead the reader to believing that person is the culprit.
     But neigh! It's neither the first person you thought was the culprit, nor is it your second! It's neither your mother that pulled off that murder case nor your dog! No! It's the person you least suspect. And there is no evident proof to back that up. And on very few occasions, they would lead you to the murderer, but then pull out something from their sleeves to make you think otherwise.
Therefore, this series deserves it's award of being misleading. Screw you, Gosho Aoyama. Screw you...

1. Who is the villain of your story? (Even non-fiction stories have a villain.)  In a well-developed paragraph, describe who or what is the villain and what motivates them.      Considering it being a self-proclaimed "modern Sherlock Holmes," there'd be a handful of suspects listed under category of villainous figures. Choosing a culprit from past murder cases simply would not suffice, since none are suitable in being the main antagonist.      The author made it clear that the maon protagonist, Shinichi Kudo, is after "the men in black" which the author later implied belongs to the Syndicate- an organization or a gang of some sorts. Mysteries continues to shroud their characters and not much has been established so far throughout the first through fifth volume, aside from their development in untraceable lethal poison and their occasional appointments with wealthy figures.      I've got plenty of theories up my sleev...

1. What do you think inspired your author to write this book?      Most likely his fascination in murder mysteries and admiration for the detective genre. There are occasional mentions of Arthur Conan Doyle, an author most notable for his detective novel featuring Sherlock Holmes. It is possible that he's inspired by him and decided to go his own version of a "modernized Sherlock Holmes." 2. Do you think he or she had to do any research? If so, what about? Where does the author seem especially knowledgeable about his or her topic?      If you're really into something, wouldn't you want to learn more about it? And considering that you're writing a story that requires some knowledge about the work field, it's wise to do a little study about the human body after death for murder mystery cases like within the manga. You need to be a bit informed about the human anatomy to pull something like this.       While methods of how...

1. Did this book make you laugh? Cry? Smile? Cringe? Cheer? Explain.      The series is rather amusing in the aspect of different ways the crime is being executed, like "how to kill people in really creative ways 101." But it also gives you this irritating anticipation as it slowly drags on the clues leading to who the culprit is. It's also annoying how one of the certified detective has such an inflated ego that it takes off about a few panels to interrupt the investigation and disregard the child protagonist even though it's not his own abilities that solved the mystery but the shrunken high school student.. Of course, those panels are for comedic purposes. 2. In what ways is this book connected to your life?  What do you find relatable?       What's most relatable about the manga is how the main protagonist constantly gets brushed aside because he has the stature of a child. It shows how some adults are very ignorant and dismissive of an ...
