The Kindaichi Case Files/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Alternate Character Interpretation - The live action adaptation makes it seem more like Kindaichi is Oblivious to Love (at least in Miyuki's case) rather than just playing coy.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel - Most cases with a supposedly "supernatural" culprit count. There are many of them. The live action "The Seven Mysteries of the School" ("Smoke and Mirrors" in the U.S. manga translation) case had a scene involving a science lab at night with a jar containing a human head that suddenly...opened its eyes.
  • Magnificent Bastard - The Moriarty-esque recurring villain that matches wits with Kindaichi.
  • Too Good to Last - At least in America.
