If you love detective stuff, crime and thrills, Tantei Gakuen Q is for you.
The stories are nothing short of amazing and you'll have to rack your brain to solve them yourself. The crimes are good(I mean really good), the detectives are good and the plots are better.
The character developments are subtle but good, and Ryu's growth is certainly a marvel. Romance is a bit light here(what do you expect from a detective manga, eh?) and so is the art. But the story makes up for all the flaws.
If you liked the anime, then definitely read the manga, it's just loads better.

tl;dr: A manga with decent episodic mysteries but that feels like a waste of potential beyond that.
As you would expect from the title, this is a manga about a detective academy dedicated to training a new generation of ace detectives. More specifically, it’s about the five students of class Q of Dan Detective School (DDS). They’re a pretty varied bunch, with their ages ranging from elementary school to high school, and with most but not all also attending normal school outside of DDS. But what unites them as class Q is that they are all in the running to be the successor to Dan, Japan’s ... |
