With the release of the 100th volume of Gosho Aoyama's manga series "Detective Conan" in Japan, Shogakukan announced that the manga has now reached a worldwide circulation of 250 million copies. The manga has been serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday Magazine since 1994 and is one of the longest-running weekly manga series in Japan.
Gosho Aoyama commented on the success of his series as follows:
Hello, this is Aoyama! It has been 28 years since the series began in 1994... When I started, I thought it would be a blessing if I could publish one volume after three months of serialization, but... I never imagined it would reach 100 volumes... This is all thanks to the fans who have continuously supported the series for more than a quarter of a century! Thank you very much for that!
