Super digest book, Stavo gironzolando per il sito dello Shōnen Sunday..

Q7: Have you already thought about drawing a fight between Heiji and Kaito?
A: Hm... Should I do it or not...?
Q9: Will there really be more than 100 volumes? [...]
A: I think I can do more than 100 volumes, there's still room for the story.
Q11: In volume 42, Conan receives a message where a "Ok" with a heart is written. Don't tell me that was Heiji?!
A: It was him, sorry (laugh)
Q16: What kind of feeling Conan has for Haibara? Is it trust?
A: I think he has total trust in her.

Q19: What happened to the 10 million yen given to help raise Conan?
They're probably spending it on lots of things, I expect... Also, Ran-chan's looking after the money.
Q20: Does Conan-kun like Fluke Fin [Engawa] Sushi?
What, because his name is Edogawa? (laughs)
Q23: What would happen if Gin [Jin] fell down the stairs and twisted his ankle?
Huh? That would hurt, wouldn't it? The pain would probably be really 'sharp' [Jiin]! (laughs)
Q24: When did Gin and Vodka meet?
Huh? When could it have been...? (laughs)
Q25: not here
Q27: Please give Gin more appearances. And let him pull off an assassination sometime too.
He killed Pisco, you know... And Irish in the movie, too!!
Q29: You must have a great mind to think up so many cases!! What should I study to have a mind as great as yours?
Oh, my mind's not that great. (laughs)
Q31: If Conan-kun's a primary school student and a freeloader, how come he has a nice mobile phone? Did he buy it himself?
It was probably bought from him out of the 10 million yen they got... Must be nice to have all that.
Q35: Is Amuro-san popular with the girls in his job at Poirot?
Of course he is! (laughs)
Q36: Amuro went and sacrificed his own car (the RX-7) to save Conan, but being that crash should've wrecked it. Did he buy the car he drives after that secondhand?
Maybe he bought it secondhand off a manga artist who hardly ever gets to drive his car, and repainted it. (laughs) Wait, that's me!
Q40: There was a preview for 2015's movie at the end of 'The Dimensional Sniper', but I have no idea what it's going to be about from just a sunflower! What sort of film is it?! Or will I just have to wait until it's out in cinemas?
You'll have to do that. (laughs)
Q41: Why does The Sister From Outside The Domain seem to be unwell?
I wonder why that is, hehehe... (laughs)
Q45: Thank you for doing so many stories in Gunma prefecture. There's more than just mountains here, so how about doing a case set at the Tomioka Silk Mill, a world heritage site?
Would it reallly be a good idea to have a case occuring there?
Q46: Is the reason that Mitsuhiko's really clever that he's really something like a third year middle school student who came across the Organisation's secrets and made to swallow that pill?
No way! (laughs)
Q49: How clued in to Conan is Detective Takagi? Also, what does he think about Conan?
I guess he probably thinks he's a bright young boy, but probably doesn't suspect him even the tinyest bit.
Q55: Please give the series a happy end, with Shuuichi Akai and Jodie getting back together, and draw what happens after they do (For example, with Akai's cooking skills, he'd be an elite FBI Agent by day, but when he comes home, he's actually a family man who's better at housekeeping than Jodie, maybe?).
That wouldn't be interesting! (laughs)
Q57: Gin's not going to really turn out to be a good guy, is he?
No way! (roars with laughter)
Q58: What do you think of the 'wall slam' technique that's popular in Shoujo manga lately? I'd like it if you did a 'wall slam' scene in Detective Conan. [A 'wall slam' (kabe don) is a situation 1) where a boy corners a girl by slamming his hand against a wall with his body over her, trapping her, usually in a romance scene; or 2) when someone gets so angry out of frustration that they want to punch a wall]
I've drawn Ran doing a 'telephone pole slam' on Shinichi before, actually...
Q60: What do you think will happen to Shinichi and Ran after graduating high school?
That's something you're going to have to wait and see! (laughs)
Q61: Dr. Araide hardly shows up at all, give him some appearances!
Oh, I forgot about him! Sorry! (laughs)
Q63: Is Sera-san going to be a key person in the conclusion? Also, will she ever become more feminine? (laughs)
Her mother has huge boobs... So I think she'll have a nice body in the end! (laughs)
Q64: I want to see a collaboration between Sera-chan and Hakuba-kun!
You do? How come? (laughs)
Q66: Does Sera-chan never show two doubled-teeth at once?
Do you want her to?
Q75: Does Shuuichi Akai have back pain?
Why? (laughs)
Q76: If you went on a date with Shuuichi Akai, where do you think he'd take you?
He'd probably keep driving for the whole thing.
Q77: What types of women do Shuuichi Akai and Tooru Amuro like?
Let's see... Akai would like someone who can have a controlling presence without saying a word. And Amuro would like someone who doesn't mind him talking all the time.
Q78: I want a real Subaru Okiya to appear, one that isn't Shuuichi Akai in disguise, Yuusaku Kudou in disguise, or anyone at all in disguise. Is that an impossible request?
I guess it is...
Q79: not here
Q81: How much does a member of the Organisation earn a year? And do they make more or less than you, Aoyama-sensei?
Don't ask that!
Q82: Does Inspector Yamato have stubble [bushouhige] because he thinks it's fashionable? Or just because he thinks it's a pain to shave?
He has stubble because he's a commander [bushou]. (laughs)
Q83: I want you to do a story about Teitan Primary's Culture Festival! I'd like to see Conan-kun acting in a play if you did.
What? You want to see that?
Q97: Please make Ran cuter! The manga series needs more Ran!
I've got a lot of Ran stuff I should draw someday soon. (laughs)
Q98: I'd like to see Ran get all dressed up in fine clothes in the manga.
But it's such a pain! I could do a single colour image or so though (laughs)
Q105: Are the lines under Akai's, Sera's, and The Sister From Outside The Domain's eyes supposed to be dark circles? Or are they just eyelashes?
They're dark circles. They all have threatening gazes.
Q106: I'd like you to draw a scene where Amuro-kun's eyes turn into little dots!
Huh? Wait, I haven't drawn that already? (laughs)
Q107: If you were involved in a case, Aoyama-sensei, would you try and deduce it?
Sometimes I think, 'Well, if this happened...' but if it came down to it, it'd seem too indecent...
Q108: How many years will you keep drawing manga for, Aoyama-sensei? I hope you keep drawing it until you die!
Sure! Leave it to me!! (laughs)
Q109: not here
Q111: Have you always liked mysteries, Aoyama-sensei? If so, what was the first thing that got you interested in mysteries?
I've been interested in them ever since I read the Sherlock Holmes story 'The Dancing Men' in my primary school library.
[Q111 is currently miscredited as Q110... which isn't in the pictures, but the answer to Q110 is 'Kan Colle!']
Q112: I know you were born in Tottori Prefecture, Aoyama-sensei, but do you write Heiji's Osaka Accent by yourself too?
I have one of the editors who's from Osaka edit it afterward.
Q117: Who's your favoutite movie director?
It used to be Akira Kurosawa. But now it's probably Kenji Uchida?
Q127: What makes you really happy, Sensei?
K-K-Kan Colle!

Q8: Be straight about it, who is Aoyama-sensei's favorite female character in Detective Conan?
A: You don't mean an ideal marriage partner, right? In that case, Ran. If you mean a life partner, Yukiko ... (laughs)

Q11: Please don't let Detective Conan end this year. I'm on an exchange programme overseas for a year, and not in Japan.
A: It's still a long way from the end!

Q80: Is Hattori Heiji-kun never going to appear in another BO case?
A: During the Halloween masquerade/costume party, he revealed his true identity in front of Vodka. That guy is really dangerous.

Q102: Does the black organization not have an official name?
A: “It’s just that it hasn’t appeared. It exists in my mind.”

Q121: Has the location where Conan and Ran met Sera been drawn before? Even for one moment.
A: It has never been drawn.

Q123: Won't it be interesting if Sera, who looks like a boy, appeared together with Eisuke, who looks like a girl?
A: I wonder what will happen.

Q138: Have you determined Shinichi and Ran's next meeting?
A: I definitely want to draw it in the future.

Q140: Can Conan find out what is Ran's favorite undergarment color?
A: He's a detective, he surely knows

Q144: Shinichi and Ran's wedding is going to be held at London's Holmes Museum, right?
A: Eh? You've already decided?

Q145: Who taught Ran how to cook? If that is the case, who did that person learn from?
A: Isn't she self-taught? Her mom is terrible at cooking.

Q149: Will there be a story at a karate tournament that Kyogoku-san and Ran participated in?
A: I have thought about drawing a karate tournament

It's still a long way from the end!

Q31: If tennis is Amuro-san's specialty, then what sport is Akai-san very good at?
