After becoming extremely popular in 2022, the Detective Conan Osechi will be back in time for New Year’s Day 2023! Osechi is eaten during the New Year’s holiday in Japan, and refers to a number of tasty goodies packed inside a special multi-tiered box. Packed with all the charm of the manga and anime series, the set will come with a special New Year’s greeting card from the original creator Gosho Aoyama. Orders are now open on the Ringbell website.

This two-tiered Osechi is packed with charm and includes 28 items. From the selection of ingredients to the cooking methods, careful attention has been paid to every aspect of these dishes–the first tier offers nostalgic and traditional foods, while the second tier contains more unique goods inspired by characters from the series. The set includes a box with an original design that combines popular characters and traditional Japanese New Year’s patterns, a hand towel with a mini illustration of Conan, and three sets of festive chopsticks with illustrations. These are available to order while supplies last, so you might want to snag one before they sell out!

Cafe and bar chain Pronto is now selling food and beverage items inspired by Detective Conan: Zero’s Tea Time! These items are available at Pronto locations nationwide until May 29, 2022.

Furuya Rei’s Pumpkin Tea Latte is a pumpkin-flavored milk tea topped with whipped cream and pumpkin sauce for a refreshing experience inspired by the popular character. The Triple Face Citrus Tea is a drink also inspired by Furuya, who has three faces: a waiter at a cafe, a police officer, and a member of the Black Organization. In the original Detective Conan: Zero’s Tea Time manga series, the dog Haro loves vanilla so much that he opens the fridge and eats vanilla ice cream when Furuya isn’t home. The drink pulls from this adorable episode!

Guests can also enjoy Zero’s Tea Time Napolitan and other filling pasta dishes inspired by Cafe Poirot. For each drink ordered from the collaboration menu, guests will receive a special coaster, and for each menu item ordered, they will receive an original acrylic keychain.

During the collaboration period, the Pronto location at Shibuya Furukas will have special decorations on display to celebrate the event. Be sure to come check it out if you’re a fan of the series!

Cosmetics brand Lovisia has unveiled 15 hand creams inspired by the Detective Conan anime series. Those purchasing three or more bottles at the Lovisia online store will receive a special Detective Conan drawstring bag while supplies last!

Fans can grab a hand cream decorated with their favorite character. Not only are these extremely cute, but they include four moisturizing ingredients perfect for keeping skin soft. The characters Detective Takagi and Detective Sato from the recent film Detective Conan: The Bride of Halloween are included in the lineup, with other familiar faces like Jinpei Matsuda and Hiromitsu Morofushi also appearing.

The new hand creams have a refreshing and clean scent, containing moisturizing Vaseline, shea butter, ceramide, and argan oil to prevent dry skin during any season.

The package designs feature a new retro theme, with the concept of “New Styley Collection.” Each image blends nostalgia with a fun pop of color. Which character would you like to see each time you want to moisturize?

Netease’s asymmetrical competitive mobile game Identity V has just started its first collaboration with ultra-popular anime and manga series Detective Conan! In the past, the game has already held crossover events with a number of popular franchises, such as Danganronpa, Persona, Edward Scissorhands, The Promised Neverland, and Death Note. Given that the game is all about solving a murder mystery, it makes sense that Conan would be the next best choice!

Detective Conan is one of the most popular manga series of all time in Japan, with over 250 million copies in circulation as of 2021. The story follows Shinichi Kudo, a high school detective who sometimes works with the police to help solve cases. Attacked by members of the Black Organization crime syndicate, Shinichi is forced to ingest a potion that transforms him into a child! Adopting a pseudonym and keeping his true identity a secret, he continues to solve crimes and help bring peace to the people of Japan. 

Identity V features gameplay for five players. One player, the hunter,  is tasked with eliminating the other four players, the survivors, before they complete their objectives. During this collaboration, each player character will be clad in Detective Conan costumes as they solve the mystery before it’s too late!

Four rare skins will be available: a lawyer costume (Kogoro Mori), an air force costume (Ran Mori), a perfumer costume (Shiho Miyano), and an office outfit (Heiji Hattori). A collaborative gift pack is also available in the game’s store and will feature two more exclusive costumes–Shinichi Kudo and Conan Edogawa. The pack will also include doodles, mobile icons, and more digital goodies. 

The game is free to play on iOS, Android, and PC, so be sure to grab it now!
