Detective Conan "visits" Vietnam for the first time

The exhibition "30 years of memories - Detective Conan" in Ho Chi Minh City attracted a large number of people and tourists to visit. It is known that Vietnam is the first country in the "overseas" journey of the exhibition about Detective Conan.

The exhibition is held to celebrate the 30th anniversary of "Detective Conan" (original: Gosho Aoyama) conquering generations of Japanese and global readers, since its first publication in January 1994 in Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday.

In Japan, the exhibition has made a big splash in many cities such as Tokyo, Sapporo, Sendai and will continue to be present in Osaka, Hiroshima, Yokohama, Nagoya in the near future.

Coming to Vietnam, the exhibition "30 years of memories - Detective Conan" retains the image and spirit that attracted the Japanese public. The audience will be introduced in more depth to the history and appeal of "Detective Conan" in the exhibition space including rooms with unique themes.

"When I heard that the Conan exhibition was being held in Ho Chi Minh City, my girlfriend and I traveled from Vung Tau to Ho Chi Minh City to visit. Here, we got to review old comic books, and many memories came flooding back," said Ho Trung Duc (29 years old, in Vung Tau).

In addition to the stories and characters, the exhibition also displays real-life items such as Ran Mori and Sonoko's anesthetic needles or Detective Conan's legendary red shoes.

The exhibition also displays a number of replicas from the work, which are the murder weapons mentioned throughout the series.

The special exhibition of author Gosho Aoyama brings the audience closer to the precious early design documents of "Detective Conan". In addition, the film about author Gosho Aoyama is also shown to help the audience understand more about the work.

A special highlight is that all the main images of the exhibition use illustrations written by the author Gosho Aoyama himself.

Hopefully in the future, Ho Chi Minh City will have more interesting exhibitions like this so that the audience can have a chance to get closer to the characters associated with their childhood," said Trung Hieu (23 years old).
