[edit] Summaries edited

If you don't mind, I editted the summaries a bit so that it has less spoilers.

A few too many spoilers for future volumes. For example, I try to avoid references to characters as much as possible, because they are often suspects in earlier mysteries, and revealing their status by mentioning their future exploits is too much of a spoiler. To whoever listed the future volumes, thank you, but please try to leave as much surprise as possible for us American readers! (11/10/04)

It's no worse then the spoilers over at Naruto. 64.180.234.102 03:38, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I think that the book numbers are confused. I have recently finished Playing the Fool, but it was number 12, not number eleven. Anyone care to correct me?--Agreatguy6 17:10, 22 July 2006 (UTC) Someone made a mistake. It's because Kindaichi the Killer covers both Vol. 10 and 11.

[edit] Announced Books

edit: Question answered on the linked thread..seems like listing books 21-27 on Tokyopop.com are a "database mistake". One that hasn't been fixed in a while and that still doesn't explain the prospected release dates on those pages. Anyway, for now there isn't anything to discuss on the subject.

New info: An ad in Previews Magazine for TokyoPop's May releases lists the Kindaichi volume being released then as "Number 17 of 27." Might be based off those erroneous listings, or may not be.

[edit] Motion to remove Takato

He's a spoilerish character that has yet to appear in the American releases, why is he on there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.108.25.62 (talk • contribs)

I tried removing him once before, but he was put back. I guess some people think that he's so integral to the whole story that it's worth the spoilering (like sort of talking about Sherlock Holmes while never bringing up Prof. Moriarty). I don't agree, but I think that's the logic. I want fewer spoilers about him myself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.16.197.84 (talk • contribs)

Is not there a "Spoiler" warning tag? Springbreak04 01:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but it was just removed as redundant. Might this affect the debate?

[edit] Kindaichi's Bike Journey

SPOILER ALERT Kindaichi's journey on bicycle was referenced as a vacation in the case descriptions. I removed the word "vacation" since he was on a mission to stop a mass murderer from spreading chaos across the world.

[edit] First movie

Though such info is on the character subpage, Kappei Yamaguchi voices the main character though Taiki Matsuno does voice Hajime Kindaichi in the other anime versions... Ranma9617 (talk) 08:01, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plot summaries

I have no problem with the plot summaries as a concept, but they are crammed with marketing speak. For example; Will Kindichai make the grade? What the heck? Of course he will attempt to solve the mystery, that is the point of the series. Lots42 (talk) 10:36, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
